ROBLOX Studio 2013: Recent and Impending Fixes

By Tim Brown - February 13, 2013

Change is at the core of our platform. ROBLOX Studio 2013 will be constantly updated throughout the year, often multiple times per week. There’s been a wide range of tweaks and enhancements made to Studio in the last couple of weeks–a lot in response to useful feedback we’ve gotten from our users. We’re here with Tim Brown, ROBLOX Studio Team Lead, to give you an update on what’s new.

The ROBLOX Studio team has heard your feedback and wants to thank you for your patience. We’ve learned a lot over the past week about how our users use our product, often in ways we didn’t expect, and we’re working to make sure that your experience is at least as good in ROBLOX Studio 2013. We’ve been working hard over the past week to identify issues people are having with Studio 2013, prioritize them, and fix them. We’ve made a lot of improvements so far, and have a lot more going out this week.

Screen Some Great Video Trailers

By Tim Brown - April 18, 2012

We knew ROBLOX users were capable game designers, but it wasn’t until we launched our media gallery feature that we realized our users are solid cinematographers as well. In the days since we allowed users to begin promoting their games with video, we’ve seen more than 250 submissions, running the gamut from carefully crafted to suitably dramatic to oddly funny.

Look no further than here for some video-trailer inspiration. You might even pick up some useful tips, too.

ROBLOX is about user-created content, and our users have created a lot of content — so much that you’d be hard-pressed to experience all of it in a lifetime. ROBLOX players need to be able to get to the good stuff, fast.

Builders Club Perks

By Tim Brown - December 30, 2010

This month we’re introducing a new feature for our dedicated Builders Club members: the ability to make your place open only to other Builders Club members. Owners who mark their place as Builders Club Only will receive 2 tickets per place visit instead of the usual 1 and will have a chance to make it onto our new Featured Builders Club games list on the games page. We will be adjusting this bonus over the next month to try to find the appropriate reward for our valued BC Members.

ROBLOX is committed to creating great content for our free players, while at the same time adding extra value for our subscription members. Members Only levels are a place to play ROBLOX with other experienced veterans and take your game to the next level. We’ve also made browsing the games page much faster and are still reserving the majority of space for free games. Check out how much easier it is to find the games you want on our new, slick, and speedy games page. Talk about the new look in our forums.
