@Bolt__JP I used to love this game

[Zyth @zythdotdev]

@_b4d0m3n @relink_official You can play with randoms, yeah

[Zyth @zythdotdev]

@EvanZir @TheNexusAvenger So a game must be highly monetised in order for it to be eligible for children. Sounds like an odd requirement

Damn, nearly 9k likes and complete misinformation. You cannot chat on this version of Roblox and every game on Roblox kids now goes through a review process (that's why you need a plus sub) and you have to be ID'd to publish those games. It's a more curated experience

[Zyth @zythdotdev]

@Radar_rubbish @Emiratti Every single game on Roblox kids will be vetted, that's the whole point. You have to jump through hoops now to have your game on the kids version.

Scene Analysis has finally shipped! Ever wanted an easy understanding of your memory usage in Roblox linked directly back to the instances and scripts causing it? Well here you go!

@MarkMannX @FcpnchStds @s8box I think the platforms going to be a slow burn for a while but given the nature of it, it needs time anyway so that developers can build games

[Zyth @zythdotdev]

@MarkMannX @FcpnchStds @s8box The main reason it’s paid at the moment is to build up the developer cash pot they’re going to use to pay devs. The idea is to stop this fee in about two years time to make it free to access

[Zyth @zythdotdev]

@MarkMannX @FcpnchStds @s8box I think because the plan is to allow export to Steam his argument is that it’s not the closed off ecosystem that Roblox is (though semantically you could argue that’s just another ecosystem and it’s not the same as being able to distribute your game as you wish)

[Zyth @zythdotdev]

@KrakTho Whenever I see posts like this there's always loads of people confused that it's Roblox. You know Roblox devs are keeping the R6 blocky characters on purpose right? They don't have to. Roblox has had custom skinned mesh support for years

[Zyth @zythdotdev]

@MarkMannX @FcpnchStds @s8box Garry is under the impression that this doesn’t exist to compete with Roblox, but rather mainstream engines like unity and unreal. I think that misdirection might be his downfall (everybody will see this as ‘Steam Roblox’)

[Zyth @zythdotdev]

@MrChickenRocket Loving these posts. The snow version is great

[Zyth @zythdotdev]

@halu18 This sounds just like ability pruning + new abilities + some optional moves but they’re leaving in the old abilities for people who wanna play with them. They will swiftly become novelty

[s&box @s8box]

One week to go for release, packing in all the last minute goodies. Like auto-lodding, 2D spritesheet support, new Sandbox features, a ton of spring cleaning and a healthy dose of bug fixes.

@sleitnick It's all about focusing on the happy path ironically

[Zyth @zythdotdev]

@LuftkoppTim @itotweets_ @maximilian_ Obvs a joke

[Zyth @zythdotdev]

Accountability is the word that's going to keep coming up over the next few years, it's the obvious differentiator between human and #AI

[Zyth @zythdotdev]

tl;dr If a platform this big don't put proper age restrictions in place for UGC content they will cease to exist. The privacy issue that sits external to this is going to be an internet-wide issue in the years to come though, I think.

[ray @r4y319]

Matt Kaufman has responded to the backlash over Roblox's new age check and safety requirements.

@IGN I knew exactly what was coming in the final shot before I even watched the trailer, haha
