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. #RobloxDev 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. #RobloxDev

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. #RobloxDev

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. #RobloxDev

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. #RDC24 #RobloxDev

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
