Roblox Live Ops Roadmap

Goal

Turn a Roblox idea into a shippable, updateable game plan that protects retention and avoids premature polish.

Roadmap Discipline

• Read project roadmap and instruction files before choosing work.
• Resume from the first unchecked item unless the user redirects.
• Mark an item complete only after implementation, testing/playtesting, and explicit human approval.
• Use an awaiting-approval marker for work that is built and tested but not approved.
• Keep current-state notes in sync with what was actually shipped.

First Week Design

• Day 1: immediate fun, clear loop, first reward, first goal.
• Day 2: daily streak, unfinished objective, or friend/social reason to return.
• Day 3: unlock meaningful new content around 2-3 hours of play.
• Days 4-6: visible medium-term goals, collection progress, social identity.
• Day 7: advertised reward or milestone visible from Day 1.

Update Cadence

Plan updates around:

• New zones, modes, enemies, quests, pets, cosmetics, or upgrades.
• Limited events and seasonal items.
• Balance changes driven by funnel and retention data.
• Social goals that encourage friends to return together.

Task Sequencing

Prioritize:

1. Core action and reward loop.
2. Progression signals and save/load.
3. Social and return hooks.
4. Mobile UX and performance.
5. Monetization that fits the loop.
6. Content expansion and live events.

Output Format

For roadmap work, provide:

• Current phase.
• Next buildable milestone.
• Acceptance criteria.
• Playtest criteria.
• Approval gate.
• Risks to retention, monetization fairness, or mobile performance.

Next

Break the roadmap into playtestable slices with roblox-to-issues, and ship each update through roblox-release-operations.
