I got to work today with a surprise waiting. Thanks for all the pizza
@KreekCraft
but we may need an extra day longer to increase the friend limit now. 😌
#RDC24
was great this year, it was my first time truly being back since RDC19 and it felt like I never left. I have tons of inspiration to work on some roblox games again, and of course getting the friend limit increased this year. I have 0 photos from RDC except for this one.
Here is a quick screen capture of the badges I worked on for hack week (so don't expect to see this on Roblox itself) Includes badges on your profile in-app, a new badge view for games, and the ability to compare badges from a game with your friends

We're rolling back for now. Will add search back and the fix for your own friends being your most interacted with. Will look into adding some sort functionality to continue to support alphabetical friends.
I won't be working a booth or giving a talk but come talk to me about any friends or profile related features and/or bugs at
#RDC24
. I'm hoping to have a long list of items to look into after RDC is over.

I'm working on a variety of other stuff so it's not like I exclusively worked on this from Jan to June but mostly it was switching out any consumers using the endpoint. Account settings needed a new design to support pagination and various others needed infrastructure updates
Thanks to the 700+ teams at Roblox that participated in Hack Week. We'll see many of these innovations in our platform over time. Stay tuned... Last year's here:
A lot of this work, especially having your friends alias in game was a lot of work i did this year. A big part was making sure this is unobtrusive to devs.
Today, Roblox announced a few changes to how Names are evolving on the platform...
What was previously referred to as “DisplayName” and “Alias” has been simplified and is now referred to as a “Name”.
17+ users in the U.S. can now also edit their Name to be their real name to
Just as they hit their stride, the teams face unforeseen obstacles as the project deadline approaches.
Episode 2 of the 3-part

Hack Week 2023 docuseries is out now on YouTube:
I'm working on all the real names changes on roblox, so being able to set a name for a friend and it showing up in game and all over the platform as your friends name instead of display name 😬
@KinderDev
The main issue is calling 200+ blocked users at once starts to get expensive. So we had to create endpoints that let you page through these increased limits. But now we could technically do much more if we wanted
Going to make a simulator game just so i can get an RDC invite next year. Also i have the heaviest cold that i probably got meeting so many people Sunday 🤒
If you goto the “Friends” section on Phone and Tablet,
@Roblox
has updated the layout to show your friends avatars, display name, and whether they’re online or offline!

Doing a wine tasting today and went to some cheese store and the guy gave me three cheeses and i tasted them and they tasted like cheese. Now i have 3 cheese blocks and i dont know what kind of cheese they are
I've been working on lifestyle changes for my health and I absolutely crushed my original 5k time today. Getting it under 27 minutes was huge for me even though it's probably not that hard to do for most people.
@Dued1_Roblox
ugh, for 2 of my hackweeks for the past 4 years was allowing users to create their own lists of games they could share but it never went anywhere :( this is awesome!
@grilme99
@MaximumADHD
Honestly I thought our project was really neat and you don't even get a clear picture of what we built because they never even show it. And we were the winning team
Also added an ability to favorite badges to display them on the profile although its hard to see that in the video (a star appears when i click on a badge I own)
@ZAZC_x
@LukasThePickle
Yeah! thats how were doing the new sort for other user's friends. My guess is we can't publicly show that info in case that could be used as some kind of personal identifying info. Knowing exact dates you added users just seems like something users could track to be malicious
Does anyone use Player:IsFriendsWith() at all in their games? if so why? Have you looked into using Player:GetFriendsOnline() Instead? Asking for a friend 😏
Went to Outside Lands over the weekend, here is 2023 to now. I've made some lifestyle changes recently and there is probably a 10 lb difference between the two.
i'm back home and im back at work, going to japan has made me really want to learn the language so i got a private tutor and will being using some other tools to hopefully learn quicker, but if anyone has any suggestions on how to learn let me know 🙏
Saw a kid with my Roblox shirt and I really wanted to give him a gold token but I feel like the TSA line is the worse time to be handing things to random children. Maybe next time

@LukasThePickle
I did not want to start discourse so I deleted, there it's less about engineering effort and more about costs on sorting by alphabetical when you can have 1000+ friends we have to think about.
Better badges list (Beta)
This one was definitely a lot more fun to implement, and the UI is still a little funky. Heavily inspired by a Roblox Hackweek 2022 project:
