As promised last week, we’ve used your thousands of survey responses to narrow the field of items that will be featured in this weekend’s Black Friday Sale and launched one final poll that lets you help decide on a few very specific deals involving highly sought-after items. While you’re here, you can preview some of the items that might be involved in the sale. We’re not letting the cat completely out of the bag, but the small guide below will give you a glimpse into what to expect starting Friday at 5 a.m. Central Time (3 a.m. Pacific Time).

One of these three items will become limited:

We want as many people as possible to jump into ROBLOX Studio, build anything they can imagine, and contribute to our ecosystem of user-generated games. We realize it’s a complex application, and we’ve been talking for a while about refreshing our instructional Studio tutorials. We’re pleased to announce that we’ve released four videos on our YouTube channel that will help you with the basics, from low-level building tools to scripting! Here they are:

We had so much fun presenting the Virtual BLOXcon and received such positive feedback that, as promised, we’ve decided to make livestreaming a more than once-a-year event. With the BLOXcast, we’ll be taking to the air roughly once per month for live Q&A sessions, exciting news and announcements, and more! The first BLOXcast will take place on the ROBLOX YouTube channel on Saturday, December 7th at 10 a.m. Pacific Time. Check out the following teaser for more details and remember to subscribe to our channel so you don’t miss the event when it’s live.

Take a trip through Venezia sometime to ease your mind. There’s something calming about the aesthetic of the city that forces a grin every time you’re in it. No stranger to building mega titles on ROBLOX, SONICTHEHEDGEHOGXX has a lot on his plate. He’s in the process of rebuilding sections of Venezia, which has been sitting atop the Games Page in both “Top Paid” and “Top Earning” categories for at least a month, to give it a more modern look. He’s a prolific video editor who made “Out of BLOXY Cola,” which won a BLOXY award earlier in the year (and we still can’t figure out how he did certain parts). He’s also the Commander in Chief of the First Encounter Assault Recon (F.E.A.R), one of ROBLOX’s largest and most powerful groups at just over 140,000 members strong.

The point? He’s a busy guy. Which is why we appreciated the fact that he took the time to have a chat with us about managing so many large-scale projects, and find out what he’s got next in his seemingly never ending bag of ROBLOX tricks. First…

This will probably come as no surprise, but our staff is populated by gaming enthusiasts. We spend our lives working to make ROBLOX the best gaming experience out there, and part of that means keeping a vigilant eye on our industry. ROBLOX is a unique platform in that it exists entirely on the internet–and it’s been interesting to notice other platforms start to shift their gaze towards a cloud-based architecture.

With Black Friday right around the corner, we thought now would be a perfect opportunity for you to be vocal about the types of gear and hats you’d like to see featured during this year’s sale. We encourage you to take this survey and let us know which items you’re dying to get your hands on.

We’ll tally all the responses over the weekend, and we’ll share the results with you early next week in the form of a new poll featuring the items with the highest amounts of votes. We’re planning on rolling out some killer deals–you’ll know more as Black Friday draws closer. For now, please fill out our brief survey and be vocal in the comments below.
