  • By January 2014, the platform's monthly player count had increased
    10 to 12 million monthly players, although a majority of
    those players did not have registered accounts and instead played as
    "guests". By August 2011, Roblox had about 6.8 million active users monthly, becoming the
    second-most popular kids entertainment site. These early versions of Roblox were extremely basic, with player avatars having not
    been animated yet and various features only being present in their most simplified form.
    Baszucki and Cassel began development on Roblox shortly afterwards, modeled after Baszucki's vision, and also
    created the Roblox Corporation. Roblox was created in 2004 by co-founders and software engineers David
    Baszucki and Erik Cassel. If one of the users is over
    the age of 18 while the other user is between 13 and 17, then both parties must prove that they know each other in real life.

    Around this time, Roblox optimized the way that its different releases were developed over the course
    of 3 years, reaching a point where only a minimal amount of engineers were needed to maintain the platforms it was available
    on and all versions functioned off of the same APIs.

    As part of these plans, several other features were
    announced that would allow creators more freedom in their works, hoping to make them more "immersive" and making collaboration between developers easier.
    Around this time, Roblox began further working towards a vision that Baszucki described as a 30-year long plan where in which
    users have a "fully-fledged digital identity" in an environment such as Roblox.

    The sound was originally produced for the video game Messiah (2000), and it was replaced in 2022
    after Roblox and the sound's producer entered a copyright dispute.
    From December 2025 to January 2026, mandatory age
    verification to communicate on the platform in any capacity will be rolled out.

    These tools were for automatic avatar customization and texture generation, the former being able to automatically convert three-dimensional body meshes into live-animated avatars and the latter creating textures of objects based on a text-to-image model.
