Launching Early Access Programs: Test Experimental Features

Awesome, keeping my eye on the announcements so I can apply and push it to it’s limits! :grin:

Is there a reason why you guys don’t just let anyone download these early builds and then let them give feedback through the forum? You guys used to do that for FutureIsBright and MeshDeformation on Github. Why do we now need to apply and hope we get selected just to test out early features?

My fear is you guys will only allow a small set of people in for certain features like you’ve done with Server Authority, which means not enough feedback will be given. I don’t see the purpose in a vetting process when all it serves is to limit who can give their opinions.

This is a wonderful update! Hopefully more feedback can be given about experimental features now from users who enjoy testing & giving feedback. Will love to see the cool things that result from this!

How does this work? Does it spawn new servers for those players?

I think studio and the client still need a beta channel switcher when applicable, so I can switch to the LIVE (or zlive jumpscare) channel when working with others, or to one of the beta channels when necessary.


Yes. The channel on your app dictates which server to use. (and its really annoying because sometimes HTTP requests fail).

Why did you blur your program? It’s not like they put you under an NDA lol.

The program I am is in NDA. Under different testing channels than the one in the post. I’m not risking breach of NDA for some stupid comment. Just want to share my experience with it and give little bit of insight.

Well good thing anyone can download it, and with some fuzzing enable it without signing anything, thanks roblox for your amazing security.

Are there certain specifics about it? Its been a while and i still cant access none of the given surveys because of Access Denied page.
Am I missing something?

Currently looking into this for the Roblox Studio Mod Manager.

I don’t have access yet (as far as I’m aware) to any of these channels, and I’m not sure if the channels are just innately public now or if Roblox still has to explicitly bind you to the channel with this new program.

Can I be added to some existing programs so I can investigate @lamignar?
