Hi everyone.
10 years ago Roblox used to make themed versions of the website for holidays. I think we should have them back because I loved them so much. Leave a like on this post to show Roblox how much we support bringing themed sites back!
As a dev on Roblox I feel silly when I see the CEO of Epic Games give his developers an 88% cut on the Epic Games Store because he's not happy with Steam stores 70% offering
On Roblox you effectively get a 19% cut
We need to push for more. Retweet if you agree.
Being a roblox dev is a blessing and a curse. You get to do what you love every day, but now the thing that brings you happiness is the exact thing that causes you insane amounts of stress and issues.
What if you could drive without being punished for missing a sick drift?
Introducing Rewind :D Coming to
#VehicleSimulator
when we release the new map & chassis!
#RobloxDev
Roblox just increased the draw distance from 5,000 studs to 100,000 studs! Open-world maps are now visible and more beautiful than ever before!
#RobloxDev
Converted the reverse-time system to work like an animation. As a result:
-84% less data stored
-Much better performance
-I can change the playback speed dynamically
Now it tweens the reverse speed when going into/out of the reverse mode.
#RobloxDev
#VehicleSimulator
Starting to like the chassis. It passes a lot of my tests:
-I can wobble around at high speed without going completely out of control
-I can drift
-I can powerslide
-I feel very connected to the cars handling
Also reversing to get the perfect drift is addicting

Added tons of polish :D
Weapon animations, NPC optimizations (250+ running at once now!), much improved ragdoll & walking, crosshairs/spread, NPC's run away when attacked, and some other goodies!
#RobloxDev
I've been having lots of fun polishing & testing the new vehicle Action camera on stunts, drifts, off-roads, and jumps :D Coming very soon.
#RobloxDev
#VehicleSimulator
I've been working on the new
#VehicleSimulator
minimap! It's got a 3d preview with in-route GPS navigation when you click on any of the color coded destinations!
#RobloxDev
Roverse is more fun with friends!
DM friends in different servers, see their live status updates (offline, in lobby, in game), follow them, send & accept room invites, and add friends to your Roverse profile!

Today marked my last day at Vehicle Simulator! It's been 3 years and I've learned a *lot* about project management, leadership, and gameplay!
I have enough saved up to work on my own project for the next 6 months. Here goes!
#RobloxDev
#KineticCode
Dev forums is doomed
I'm all for helping people but at this point most of the mature devs that could help seem to have stopped being active. Merging everything into one mega cluster wasn't the best idea roblox has had..
Working on a custom collider because roblox's doesn't give you any info..
This one shows angle of impact, impact force, and impact location, all of which I can use to make sparks much more theatrical :D
#RobloxDev
Polished up the movement system a bit more. Animations for *everything* now. Visual markers more clearly display the target location & updating furni pos in real-time instead of per-voxel means more feedback!
it's 5am im gonna take a nap

What if your character model actually *DROVE* the car? Coming soon, huge credit to
@fluffmiceter
, I just merged it w/ the chassis code & replication.
The new chassis is going to be INSANE.

I generally stay away from politics, but at this point I "can't even" with Trump and his supports. The terrible things he's done wouldn't fit in a 12 page pamphlet let alone a tweet.
If you support him please unfollow me, I don't want to associate with you or his morals.
Someone needs to make a website where Roblox devs have a business rating. Far too often do large devs do terrible things w/ their devs that go unnoticed/unreported b/c the dev is too intimidating to compete against.
Some sort of reputation system would do wonders..
Still have a bit of polish to do, but I'm working on something special for
#VehicleSimulator
Customize your individual rooms floor, wall, and ceiling colors/materials.
Then decorate!
Going to slowly start releasing some teasers for a game I've been working on lately.. get the most up to date teasers by joining the Team !mpact discord server!
#RobloxDev
Hanging out with a few friends in a user-created room in
#Roverse
! Character heads bob while speaking, look at nearby speakers, and show type notifications!
Roblox's lighting engine has gotten amazing!
#RobloxDev
I really want the Discover page to feel alive so I made a fun little animation for when other users like content you're currently looking at.
Also polished up some UI there or here + and had some more fun with Like animations.
👀🤩🙈

While I have no doubt the cybertruck is better, this demo is useless since neither of the trucks look like they're carrying any weight to hold them down..
Roverse is going to be one of Roblox's few Portrait-first mobile optimized social games!
#RobloxDev
I can't wait to get some players online and see it all working together :D
Welcome to Roblox. I added
R A Y T R A C I N G
#RobloxDev
128 samples, 4 bounces, 645 million rays
87 minutes to render in Roblox Studio on 12 clients, going to re-bench is soon when roblox enables some awesome raycasting improvements!
Major stability improvements, all wheel drive drift assist, donuts (very important to have donuts in ur driving game), 3x more road to drive on, more slip, and more fun.
I CAN'T WAIT TO LET YOU GUYS TRY THIS
#RobloxDev
#VehicleSimulator
Giving my AI a sense of sight! Here's a visualization of the sensors reacting to the world & my speed, with me driving around with the new sensors.
As I drive and avoid objects I'll be training the AI to steer away from objects.
#RobloxDev
Releasing this game for 80R tomorrow! Follow & Retweet this tweet (not the video tweet) for a random chance to get $250,000 for free in-game! Will be picking 10 winners shortly after release.
#RobloxDev
So proud of my babies! Lots of improvements:
- Collisions *MUCH* more stable
- Collisions are less laggy
- AI can no longer get stuck or too far behind you
- GPS system much less glitchy
- Cars handle themselves much better during close-range encounters
#VehicleSimulator
Still a WiP (needs UI + I'll probably speed this up a bit), but DEAR GOD THE EFFECT IS FINALLY DONE IT COST ME HALF MY SOUL, 4 HOURS, AND 8 DAYS OFF OF MY EXPECTED LIFESPAN

Oh no. I fixed one thing for my girlfriend's mom and now her whole family is treating me like tech support. This has already happened with my family lol
Hot take: Roblox is gonna have some of the best voice chat in the industry since the moment you're toxic you just get your social security or whatnot blacklisted.
I'm incredibly excited, this is the best possible way they could have implemented it imo
@MorePerfectUS
??? Did you guys research Roblox at all or just watch that misleading People Make Games video??
I was in said video, and they conveniently cut out 90% of my talk which explained how Roblox takes care of safety, scaling, networking, and so many other important services for you.
Custom humanoid-less NPC's. Can wear everything that humanoids can without the massive performance hit that Humanoids give! Used to lag at around 35 Humanoid NPCs. I'm running 50 here!
Gonna require some time to perfect but I got the basics working in 2 hours 👍
#RobloxDev
New camera zoom (including a custom first-person camera!), nitro effects, and more sauce, coming to an update near you very soon

Been putting an immense priority on making everything feel as responsive as possible, so when I worked on replication today I made sure ragdolls, animations, recoil, & all other effects worked seamlessly when networked! Even with physics events caused by other clients
#RobloxDev
I hope you're not stick of seeing these lol
Today I made the drifts much more satisfying to execute & the nimbleness/stableness has been increased by quite a bit. I made the lap more drifty to help showcase :D

tech demo! Running on my Galaxy and a tiny iPhone 6. Social-media style discover feed, liking rooms (even if you’re not in the same server!), live updating icon previews, and about 17% of my expected remaining lifespan has been shaved off.

little neural network police car demo
Making progress, not yet perfect but so far:
- Routes to you on GPS & finds you
- Continuously backs up & rams you when you're stuck
- Prevents itself from getting stuck (reverse feature + teleports discreetly if you're over 900 studs away)
