We’re back with another monthly recap! August was another busy month for the Developer Community, and with summer coming to a close, we know that school is starting back up soon and days are getting even busier. We put together a list of the top occurrences in the Developer Community that happened in August, so be sure to read through and make sure you didn’t miss anything!

RDC EU

Back in July, Roblox hosted its annual Roblox Developer Conference (RDC) in San Francisco. This month, Roblox took RDC to Europe, hosting the same conference in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Developers came from around the world to attend one of two tracks discussing Building and Managing Your Business on Roblox and Roblox Engineering. Developers in the EU also heard from Grace Francisco, Chris Misner and a handful of Engineers and Developers on the Engineering and Developer Panels!

As Saturday wrapped up, developers hunkered down to start developing their Game Jam games! By lunchtime on Sunday, developers were putting the final touches on their games, and preparing them for the judges to review. After game presentations, the judges voted and the following teams took home awards:

Team “Feature Request” took home first place with their game Split. “Feature Request” consisted of @Zomebody, @Arch_Mage, @Ravenshield, @AlgyLacey, @Wsly and @Buildthomas.

Working together as team “Sample Text”, @Basekill, @Director1406, @Repotted, @SteadyOn, @jjwood1600 and @xXDJducklingXx took second for their work on the game Lightseeker.

Team “Leftovers”, which included @wind_o, @Flubberlutsch, @Nawtz, and @hoshpup took home the bronze award for their game Lucid Dream.

Thank you to the 13 teams who took part in the Game Jam!
