Roblox models the real world. Features make interaction with the environment easier, and more realistic modeling of the world makes behaviors rich and emergent. DragDetectors + physics are a great example -- make a no code jenga game in 3 minutes. youtube.com/watch?v=NRqWuZ…

Objects of certain shapes fly in Roblox, not through code but through simulation of aerodynamics. This allows creations to have complex emergent dynamics. Amazing work here sleitnick, excited to see more as this evolves!

Roblox is inherently social. People around the world engage in real time. We're investing to break down the historical barriers of creation and communication with in-house translation and safety technology, so you can safely talk to anyone, and make new friends across languages.

While iteration speeds for developers on Roblox are already fast — you can deploy across mobile, desktop, console, and VR in seconds — we know we can go much faster, and are driving higher quality and performance across our creator tools and the user app.

Analytics is a critical part of the creation flywheel. The better you understand your audience, the better you can make your creations. With funnels and now custom events built in to the platform, creators get access to real power tools out of the box. devforum.roblox.com/t/analytics-tr…
