Plan and test game mechanics

A mechanic needs an observable rule: an action, a change in state and feedback to the player. Before adding more systems, test whether the first action, win condition and restart work together. The existing guides below provide the starting workflow and debugging checks.

Prepare a game for publishing

Publishing starts with a game that can be tested, understood and maintained. Check the available creator controls, audience settings and safety requirements before a release. Use the publishing guide for the sequence, and the troubleshooting guide for an actual blocked step.

Fix a Roblox Build problem

Choose the symptom you can observe: a missing tab, a stalled generation, an unexpected result or a publishing block. These are different problems. Start by recording the device, exact message and the last action that worked, then follow the matching guide.

An access restriction is not necessarily a broken account. The access guides retain the conflicting Mac documentation, and publishing checks distinguish creator controls from approval decisions. Avoid spending another prompt until you know what you are testing.
