@ghostdevz congrats!

@PlayUGC @NicolasLiatti CreateAssetAsync is the way in plugin context and via MCP. We do not have a way for invoking in game right now.

@Benz947 @Roblox_RTC Thank you for your patience as we rolled it out.

[Nick Tornow @nicktornow]

@foaddabiri Thank you for all you’ve done for Roblox and our creators and users

[Nick Tornow @nicktornow]

@MaximumADHD You’re an amazing follow

We are updating upload and publishing costs for avatar items. Upload costs are dropping from 300 to 80. Publishing advances for 2D stay at 10 Robux. Read more at https://t.co/LmZKH0MGK0

This week we released Server Authority on Roblox, and it's not just about cheat protection. Due to the deep integration of the technology with our physics and input systems, creators can also craft richer worlds from complex PIT maneuvers to cat wrestling (a critical use case).

[Peter McNeill🔜RDC26 @MrChickenRocket]

Here's what you can do with the new Roblox server auth system! The physics engine participates in SAuth too, so these boneless cats are zero fakery - 100% real sim and forces, no input lag. The "no cheats" bit is barely the point. Should I make a tutorial? #robloxdev

@riqueio Check out the response from @stingabw for more details and some next steps.

[Nick Tornow @nicktornow]

We’re introducing a new option to meet the publishing requirements to reach users under 16. Starting May 19th, creators can choose to pay a one-time, refundable 1,000 Robux publishing fee per game. https://t.co/NXohBanfal

We're unlocking the ability to create rich, diverse, and massive terrain in Roblox Studio. Much more on the way for higher fidelity, roads, paths, and more. We're excited to see what you build.

@plasma_node Yes

@rogerdickey You could call it an invitation

[Nick Tornow @nicktornow]

@MaximumADHD Stay tuned

[Nick Tornow @nicktornow]

@drainhitpoints @IckyVickyRblx @plasma_node Thank you for the thoughts. We are actively working on both of these issues.

[Nick Tornow @nicktornow]

@updog_osaka @Callum258805 @vexqty Sure thing. We understand the concern and are trying to find the right balance. Publishing on Roblox is free for 16+, can be free for Kids and Select with audience, and we’ll continue work to reduce friction on getting to the younger audience while balancing for safety concerns.

[Nick Tornow @nicktornow]

@updog_osaka @Callum258805 @vexqty This is not true. It is refundable for any game that does not violate terms. “If your game hasn’t reached the Highly Engaged Player threshold after 90 days, you have two options: 1) Request a refund of your expedited review fee. 2) Keep your expedited review fee in place.”

@plasma_node Coming soon

[Nick Tornow @nicktornow]

@riqueio Thanks, looking into it

[Nick Tornow @nicktornow]

@riqueio Thanks for flagging this. On which devices are you seeing this? Also, would it be possible for you to share a microprofile capture?

[Nick Tornow @nicktornow]

@BasedMannn Is this not a workable solution for your game: https://t.co/oAtw4ReNvJ
