I’m building a node-based visual scripting IDE for Roblox.

It is officially live now! You can check it out for FREE on itch.io here: Instance IDE.

So I’m studying software development and I've been pouring everything into Instance IDE for my college portfolio, which is a standalone desktop app that talks directly to Roblox Studio in real-time to compile node-based visual logic into clean, zero-overhead native Luau. I built this to help new users grasp game logic easily while giving experienced devs a much faster workflow, so it currently features 77 different nodes covering the core logic, plus a dedicated Raw node where you can inject your own pure Luau code if a specific function doesn't exist yet. I'm still fighting some bugs with the Creator Store permissions to finalize the bridge, but I'm getting ready to drop the first early access build soon. Right now I'm honestly just a bit nervous and looking for raw feedback from actual devs to see if I'm on the right track.

Where to hire devs

as long time Roblox player and a now investor, I’ve always thought about creating a game. I’m very creative and have good ideas/visions but lack the skill to bring said vision to life. that’s why I want to bridge that gap and hire someone to build me a game. However, idk the best places to find and hire Roblox devs for projects, If you can point me in the right direction of reliable developers I will be super grateful! 🙏

Any idea why I can’t publish to all ages?

my game meets all the eligibility requirements, yet it is still 16 plus. I have also done the refundable payment.

Why won't my code work

It keeps giving an error on the goals += 1 part, something about adding an instance with a value

Bug or intended? [Thumbnail impressions]

Hi there! I thought maybe I should write this with AI but too much AI for me :)

So here is my honest take about Roblox game development.
I like to create games and it's putting me in a very good mood to see when people plays my creations. But what the he** Roblox, why I got 0 impressions on my thumbnails?? I do something wrong or what's going on? Can somebody explain me how this works I don't want to pay 1k $ on ads..

Thanks for your time. Love you bye

Tried fully-scripted vs physics constraints and feel its not even close

First one is fully-scripted and raycast based and second uses physics constraints such as hinges and springs. Spent an unfortunate amount of time on this sadly

How to turn part of a model transparent

Does anyone know how to make part of a model transparent? I'm not looking to make the whole thing invisible, I just want to recreate the look of the model in the first picture, the second is how it looks in Studio.

Does learning roblox scripting still make sense in 2026 with Ai around

I would consider myself a intermediate scripter is it worth it learning more with Ai around? or should I learn some other skill

Advice on the first game I've Made

Hey

Just been spending some time for the past week or two to get into roblox dev. Made this very basic tycoon yeah tbf its like every other tycoon but I have never made any game ever before no scripting modelling anything.

Hopefully I can keep making more games and ones with a unique and fun concept

I'm mainly looking for honest feedback from people with more experience. Things like:

- Is the progression too fast or too slow?

- Is anything confusing or frustrating?

- Did you encounter any bugs?

- What would you improve first?

Literally tell me anything because Im trying to get anything and everything I can to get better. criticize or anything

I'm trying to get better as a developer, so even small criticisms are really appreciated.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to try it out!

Edit : Thank you very much for letting me know about the UI issues I worked on it for and I got it to a point where it is still playable. It's not quite there yet as I have to go to sleep and I don't have enough time right now since obviously I am a beginner and even small things take ages to get done

Sorry for the use of AI. Wont happen again

Anonymous Characters and Roblox Chat Restrictions

I’m working on a social deduction game where players are assigned anonymous characters for each round instead of using their Roblox identities.

One thing I’m trying to figure out is how Roblox’s age based chat restrictions work in this situation.

I’ve noticed that in Roblox Mafia, players who normally can’t chat with each other because of age group restrictions seem to be able to communicate once the round starts and everyone is disguised. Chat still appears to be filtered by Roblox, but communication works differently during the match.

Does anyone know if this is an officially supported Roblox feature related to anonymous/disguised characters, or is there another explanation? If it’s an intended behavior, is there any documentation on how it works?

I’m looking for an official solution rather than trying to work around Roblox’s chat system and get banned.

Before & After (6months)

I started this journey knowing pretty much nothing. Now I’ve built countless systems, reworked things a billion times and it’s just insane to look back at all the work I’ve put in learning everything.

Still have so many things to learn and mess around with along with building out the rest of the map.

Plans For My First Roblox Game

Recently, I've begun working in Roblox Studio for the first time, and I'm attempting to make a Backrooms oriented exploration/horror game. The provided photos are ingame screenshots of my progress over the last day (with some added effects), and my goal is to make one of the best Backrooms games out there.

I plan to make the game Single Player/Multiplayer friendly, and yes, something else will be in there witg you.. I plan to give it a massive map and various survival aspects, and I'm aiming to make it replayable as much as possible.

I have no real experience coding but I plan to teach myself as I really wanna perfect this 🙏

Lmk your thoughts! 👍
