Give Your Game a Professional Logo With Game Icons
Within the next few weeks, the ROBLOX Games page is undergoing a major overhaul that will make the page cleaner, easier to navigate, and provide space for even more games to be showcased. Part of this page makeover are the new Game Icons that will appear instead of the current thumbnails. Icons are square images that are meant to act more as logos for your games. Not to worry, ROBLOX is not removing thumbnails. Thumbnail images will continue to exist on the Game Details page (i.e., the page that contains the Play button). Game icons are meant to help developers distinguish their game in a format that can be used for multiple purposes across ROBLOX.

Gamers and Developers Get New VIP Server Features
By popular demand, we launched VIP Servers in late 2014 to give you an easy way to play games privately with your friends. Since then, we’ve been listening to your feedback and making updates to improve the VIP Server experience. These incremental changes include the ability to invite all your friends with one click, quickly set up competitive (and presumably epic) clan-versus-clan battles, and automatically renew your VIP Server, as well as revenue sharing for developers who enable the feature. Let’s dig into the updates.

How to Stream ROBLOX on Twitch (2015 Edition)
Streaming to Twitch is a great way for you to participate in and contribute to the ROBLOX community. You can broadcast the creation of a game so others can see how you do what you do, build a channel and audience of your own, and help spread the word about ROBLOX. We’re really happy to have seen thousands of ROBLOX gamers and developers get started on Twitch in the last year, and, now that one of the top streaming applications is available for Mac, we hope this guide will help even more of you start your own channels.

The Top Games of February, 2015
We see a lot of ROBLOX games shoot up into the Top 20 list in the first few weeks of life. The community loves new games, and so do we. But only a select few manage to stay at the top, pulling in players month after month. February mostly saw long-time favorites dominating the list. Can some of the newcomers stay popular? Will we see some of the juggernaut titles slip a few places in the coming months? That all depends on where you, the gamers of the ROBLOX community, decide to spend your time.
