Beyond The Blox Will emissive maps finally put an end to lighting hacks?
We cover the new Emissive Maps in Studio Beta, which ensure consistent glow and material effects across all quality settings, plus the SLIM (Scalable, Lightweight, Interactive Models) system for auto-optimizing large worlds. On the platform side, we examine the new Safety Analytics dashboard for tracking player reports and the ongoing Testing Age Estimation feature requiring new users to submit verification. Finally, we look ahead to the community event EuroJam 2025.
