When was the last time there was a good Roblox update for us?

If making a game would cost me 10 bucks then what's the point? What if the game never goes popular???

I've been a game dev for over 5 years and have made many games. I've been working on a project with my dev team for the past year and now it's not confirmed if the game will even succeed.. What's worse is that the game is r6 and we will get paid less for our work.

And I still remember the time they forced us to change from that classic to modern ui, I still can't get used to jt

Advice for making an asym map?

Haven't ever exactly made a game yet, especially of this genre but I've played many games of it.
I've been trying to figure out how to do this map, the first image is the old version, and the second one is the new version.
its lab based, and some rooms haven't been redesigned yet, but the rooms labeled as J and S are what im most concerned about. They feel way too far away from the general center of the map, but I'm not sure how to go about it..

cause my main worry thus far is how annoying itd be to traverse one edge of the map to the other just to get someone in the distant corner

im thinking of doing something similar to dead by daylight, specifically the RPD resident evil map, where some variants of this map is blocked off and others arent

Looking for games that needs investments, deals, or help in marketting.

Hi, i work with Simplebricks, a company that invests in good and new games, so if you have any good games and needs investments then lets have discuss, we can talk about your game's analytics and strike a good deal.
requirements -
- game shouldnt be more than 3 months old
- should not have more than 300k visits
- should have atleast 10 ccu (higher for higher visits)

my discord - xak19x

- you can check my discord account, my tag clearly shows im in thier HQ server , if you need more proof you can dm me and i'll show clear proofs.
- we are looking for small games with potential so that we both profit, you get marketting and investments, and we get a good investment return.

Are asyms overcreated?

it feels like a lot of the roblox game development is asyms (the 1v8 kind). it comes to a point where they all seem to similar with each asym having almost no differnece in gameplay.

Did Roblox just killed "testers"

Like a couple of hours ago, my testers told me that they can't access the game. I checked the game's settings and everything, and it's literally the same as before, but they can't access it at all. I tried using the default Roblox group role feature ranking some people as "Testers" to see if they could access the game or not and it seems like they genuinely can't. This is so bad. Has anyone else noticed this? I'm pretty sure this isn't something on my side.

Building a game

So I figured out how to build parts and stuff. So far i’ve only made 2 clothing type things with some parts i’ve used off marketplace.

but, I wanna build a backrooms game. But idk nothing about lighting, or even how to start the game, or how to even write out a script for the game.

I don’t know the easiest way to learn lua. I work 4 days outta the week like 8 hours or so. I’m not in school for coding or anything. I feel like i’m too old to be learning how to build or script anything. i’m 22. Will be 23.

I can’t figure out how to do cool lightings or, how to like teleport from one place to another such as a backrooms game. How to have it all built so you do teleport to it or just, i’m not sure how to do it. Does anyone have any tips???

Will big devs agree to take their games offline for a protest?

It's likely not possible as they make a ton of money every day from their games.

However, these Roblox updates may soon come after them (PLS DONATE is pretty much already done for)

The 500 engaged player update is crazy. My game has 37k visits. Guess the number of "engaged players". 40.

I remember the Reddit protest where subreddits went offline.

If the top trending games do this, it may help.

If you are in contact with any big devs, try to get them on board with this. With no games for people to play, Roblox will go into panic mode.

Blender Animation Model Not Moving in Roblox - Humanoid Compatibility Issue

Hello everyone. I'm developing a horror game called "The Moon" in Roblox and I'm having trouble with an animated spider model exported from Blender.

I created a spider model in Blender with a rigged skeleton and two animations:

  • Walk animation (idle movement)
  • Run animation (chase movement)

When I export this model to Roblox Studio and add a Humanoid component, the animations play correctly on the model, but the model itself doesn't move in the game world.

What I've Tried:

  1. Humanoid:MoveTo() - The spider has a proper Humanoid and HumanoidRootPart, but Humanoid:MoveTo() doesn't make it move
  2. CFrame Movement - I tried moving the HumanoidRootPart using CFrame position changes, but the model stays frozen in place
  3. Different Script Approaches - I've tested multiple movement scripts, but nothing works
  • The Walk and Run animations play perfectly when triggered
  • The AnimationController loads and plays the animation tracks without errors
  • BUT the model's position never changes

where can i voice act?

so I've been seeing a lot of upcoming artists who voice act in a variety of new Roblox games and watching that grow is truly mesmerizing, but growing up with a love to voice act, I'd like to do that myself but I never had a professional experience with voice acting its all just small lines from well known characters in front of my friends and family, and have loved to practice voice acting in many ways so I'm kind of experienced , so my question is.. where can I find a place where Roblox game developers (or possibly any indie game developers) search for voice actors.. I'd like to start working on that part and try to be in a game one day, if anyone has any advice or knows a magical place with lots of voice actors, tell me and thank you !
