Maybe try bringing ROBLOX to XBOX 360 or PS3 (XBOX one and PS4 also) maybe as like a FTP (I'd happily pay money for ROBLOX on XBOX tho) If old gen consoles can't have 1080p (I don
t know ROBLOX's default resoultion :P) make it 720p!

Consoles can't/don't:
Let users type with ease
Have enough button options
Run bigger games like "Irregularity"
Support Lua. This means not a single game will run scripts or GUIs

^ You're wrong about Lua. It's not hard for console manufacturers to add Lua support.

In case you don't know, you have to scroll through each letter on your keyboard to type. I don't want to spend 6 years working on admin commands.

How many different peripherals? How many wires? How much setup? It's much easier on a laptop where everything is all in one package.

What about WiiU?


You can type with the gamepad,simillar to a phone.


Building can be done there.



But someone already listed the problems for me.


Remember me?

No, Roblox is programmed in C, C is a language that can be used on anything, and Lua itself is run by C. Not as hard as you think to port.


>Roblox doesn't have enough money to do this.

They wouldn't give millions of dollars to DevEx if that was the case.


>Consoles can't/don't:
>Let users type with ease

>In case you don't know, you have to scroll through each letter on your keyboard to type. I don't want to spend 6 years working on admin commands.

They added controller support, the games will add controller support, and you'll only be able to play games, not use studio, just like any other platform.


>Support Lua. This means not a single game will run scripts or GUIs

Lua is parsed and run through C language, that means we could put it on any device and run Lua.

Apparently none of you watched virtual bloxcon. They're doing it, they showed off a console, an Xbox, run crossroads with multiplayer and gamepad controls, which have also been added in. They can do the controls, All they'd have to do is port it.

You "no supporters" realize that it's possible to make games EXCLUSIVLY for consoles right? Games that are Easy to play and talk with?
Also you can plugin keyboards to your console...

I support. The more consoles you can try making games for, the more you will learn about How to make games. (Also being able to play on them :P)

For XBOX 360, you could buy a keypad attachment to attach onto your controller. I have one.

I'm a duck. MEOW.

I'm sure you can use an Xbox Controller on crazyman32's game "Angels Fifteen", close enough, right?

Support, though it technically already exists...

Special versions of developer PS4s or Wii Us, you can make ROBLOX to run on consoles...
They are expensive af, though. Idk about XBONES.

Functions are scriptable to be assigned to a button on a gamepad.

Yes but the games that people left and didn't play they would not script it. therefore making many games that people left and stopped play unplayable and it make it fairly hard to find a good game.

This means that the developer is lazy to not research on how gamepads can be inputted into ROBLOX, and that is probably a free-model user.
