What it is

Roblox Studio is a free 3D development environment for building, scripting, testing, and publishing Roblox experiences on Windows and macOS. Its drag-and-drop tools place, move, rotate, texture, and refine objects in worlds. A script editor provides syntax highlighting, code completion, and inline documentation. Device emulation and playtesting let creators check experiences across screen sizes and form factors. The built-in Assistant can answer questions, update a project’s data model, modify scripts, generate materials and textures, and automate bulk actions. Real-time collaboration and group access controls support shared work on projects and assets. The Creator Store provides models, meshes, images, sounds, videos, and plugins. Open Cloud supplies REST APIs for games, servers, data stores, restrictions, and other Roblox resources, with API keys and OAuth 2.0. The free plan costs nothing and requires a Roblox account.
