LIFE UPDATE: This week I moved to Seattle and started
@Microsoft
as a Software Engineer on the Visual Studio team! So grateful for
@Roblox
and the dev community ♥. I learn so much from you guys every day. Thank you for being a part of my life, you've changed my life forever! ♥
Here’s some more creations (as part of my share more stuff goal), of course, from a bit ago. These include a region area, and a really cute notification UI.

Below is some code snippets powering this!
Roblox developers are often a victim of their own success. Once you make a popular game you maintain it.
Sometimes that’s the last game you release.
There’s a lot of strategies to mitigate this. It’s an interesting problem.
Super proud of these VFX and transitions we got working here.
One of our goals was to hit some emotional beats and I'm hoping these effects convey the significance here.

I started developing on Roblox when I was 12. I'm now 25. As a kid, Roblox directly led to:
1. A desire to learn programming
2. A computer engineering degree
3. A job at Microsoft as a software engineer
At least for me, Roblox was (and is) an incredible experience.

Today marks my 15th year anniversary on Roblox! It's been an absolutely wild ride - I never ever imagined that Roblox would be such a big part of my life 15 years ago.
In the end, it's the community at Roblox that keeps me here - so if you're reading this, thank you.

Roblox is promising 70% rev share on paid access $50 games, which really changes the type of games you can make on Roblox.
AAA games spend so much on art because it’s part of the marketing - once you sell the game you’re done. High revshare enables this.

Live search of ban logs when typing in usernames to be added into our ban-system. Should let us determine if we have repeat offenders or not!

Ever needed to add terrain water without destroying terrain underneath? Or convert parts to terrain?
I've got a plugin for you! It's got alt-to-select material key bindings! It's got all the materials! It's got a nice UI! It's FREEEEEEEEE!
#RobloxDev
Got the UI to always render while transitioning, pretty exciting stuff!
#RobloxDev
I updated the free model so if you redownload it, it will just work!
Let's talk about debugging stuff in 3D, like raycasts! This may seem obvious, but visualizing/drawing out your raycasts and geometry is very useful.

Here's the library I use:
So here's a lightning effect!
#RobloxDev
There's some interesting code here running the flash back upwards after it reaches its target. See below for a discussion on how we achieve this.
Groups owned by terminated accounts were available for grabs, and Robux and game source code was stolen. There should have been safeguards in place.

I'm very delighted with this diegetic inventory I made.
For those who don't know, the word 'diegetic' comes from film making, it's a sound a character can hear in the story. This inventory is diegetic--the items in the barrel physically exist and can fall out!
#RobloxDev
What an incredible RDC. I’m always blown away by how incredible the Roblox development community is.
A lifeguard at the chateau told me “your community is really special” and I have to agree.
Y’all are such an inspiration.
