This drone testing game I made 2 years ago in an a few hours now has 55 CCU and 400,000 visits. We haven't touched it in 2 years.

It feels like a lot of times passion projects never make it on Roblox, but your random tech demos will.

RDC is in San Jose this year, Friday and Saturday as before!

I'm planning on hosting the Chateau party again that Sunday (potentially new venue, potentially same venue), will provide details in the discord server! Hopefully similar vibes!

We've got the full interview in-game in a video frame! Doing this sort of event helps support our authenticity pillar - Boxing Beta is about authentic boxing.

Thanks to our player-base being really cool and passionate we get neat opportunities to connect them!

To expand on this, this gradient on the 'building' pane below is provided by a solid frame that's on top, that uses a UI gradient, no canvas group. This is much better for memory and rendering performance, so I recommend doing that if possible.

Added the ability to turn off PvP in our new game! This lets you test your builds without anyone disrupting you!

SPOILERS (in video) For Roliday 2023 I wanted to use this quest system I had to guide players to explore the story and find the artifacts.

I'm relatively happy with how the UX turned out. It's not perfect, but I think it's good enough for now!

For 11k CCU a $200 cloud bill a month isn't a big deal, but I'm going to want to scale our cloud services harder so it makes a lot more sense to not continue to use google cloud here for heavy production services.

ok, google compute engine feels like a scam. Estimated cost per a month initially is $20 (compute) but it ends up expanding to a lot more once you have prod traffic. Yes, I can go trade-off additional compute for less network costs, but it starts to get very over-engineered.

For those not following Roliday, this year we're spiking up to 1.5k CCU (concurrent players) whenever we release UGC items. Great way to bring the whole community to hang out at the same time (cc younite).
