Roblox keeps rolling out cool new creation tools! Combined, these enhancements will help creators deliver informative, inspiring, and entertaining content to Youtube’s diverse, global user base. One particularly promising announcement is the launch of “Roblox Moments.” This new short-form video experience is still in beta and available to users 13 years or older. This trending feature will allow users and gamers to share their best gameplay videos. Once the video is complete, they can cut it down to 30 seconds max, select music, and describe the video before uploading.
Roblox implementing new creator focused video functionality to the platform. They’re increasing the Developer Exchange (DevEx) rate, meaning creators will make 8.5% more on cashing out their earned Robux. Under the new conversion rate, 100,000 earned Robux is now worth $380, an increase from the previous $350 converter. This alteration provides developers who operate on the platform a massive monetary benefit!
To note there, Roblox recently shared that the average revenue for a Top 1000 developer has skyrocketed to nearly $1 million. This outstanding expansion represents a 2.9 times increase from 2020. This incredible growth is a testament to the power of YouTube’s focus on building a sustainable environment for creators to be successful in.
“This is a significant step that reinforces the company’s dedication to fostering an economy where more creators can thrive and succeed,” – Roblox.
In addition to the generative features for users, the company is introducing new AI tools to help developers unleash their creativity. These tools will provide greater creative flexibility for the arts and more intelligent, development-friendly support. Most significantly, Roblox’s newly released text-to-speech application programming interface (API) allows for immediate narration and real-time character dialogue, with ten customizable English voice presets.
To combat this even more, Roblox will be implementing a new gameplay mode, “Server Authority.” Beyond explosive entry, this feature plays a huge role in actively combating cheating in game. It makes physics interactions even more believable, getting users truly engaged on the action.
Enterprise grade Real world deployments Roblox is committed to enriching its platform. Equipped with these API-based capabilities, creators will be unlocked to create their own in-game creation and discovery systems. This degree of personalization should drive more innovation from developers as well as create a deeper connection with users.
Perhaps even more impressive is the real-time voice chat translation feature, scheduled to be released next year. This groundbreaking feature will allow all in-game voice chat to be translated instantly into players’ native languages, beginning with English, Spanish, French and German. These advancements hope to create a more connected and inclusive Salt Lake City by bridging the gaps caused by language barriers within our community.
In line with its commitment to user safety and appropriate content, Roblox is expanding its age-estimation technology to all users. The platform is partnering with International Age Rating Coalition (IARC). As a result, they’ll begin enforcing age and content ratings for video games and apps. This new effort will go a long way toward making sure that any such content is not age-inappropriate.
Roblox says it will slowly make these features available to better test and develop new moderation workflows. These enhancements are intended to provide users with a safer environment while they engage with the diverse array of content available on the platform.
Roblox is firmly committed to the ongoing pursuit of performance excellence. The company has been working on updates that will allow its platform to operate at higher fidelity across devices and with less strain on creators, while keeping performance at a peak.
Players should be excited to swipe through a personalized list of gameplay highlights from the entire community. Most importantly, users can react to clips or full episodes with any of the available emojis. They can leap straight into experiences from the short-form videos they consume.
“For example, the average revenue for a Top 1000 developer was almost $1 million, up 2.9x since 2020.” – Roblox.
