*Roblox Studio releases Animation Graphs to the public and deploys the new Input Action Manager in Beta for cross-platform control mappings.*

1. Animation Graphs Full Release

The Animation Graphs feature has officially exited beta. Developers can now design, transition, and blend complex character movements visually:

  • Access the tool directly from the Avatar tab inside Roblox Studio.
  • Blend states (walking, running, falling) dynamically using node connectors instead of writing extensive custom Lua state scripts.
  • Visual debugging tools let you trace movement flow in real-time.

    2. Input Action Manager in Beta

    Roblox has also launched the Input Action Manager in Studio Beta, streamlining cross-platform controller mappings:

  • Define "actions" (like jump, dash, interact) and map them to different input sources (Keyboard, Gamepad, Touchscreen) inside a unified interface.
  • Audit input conflicts and set priority rules.
  • Resolves key conflicts automatically when playing on mobile devices.

    3. UI Clipping & Private Servers

    Two other notable layout and system adjustments rolled out this week:

  • Rotated UI Clipping: Studio now supports clipping for rotated GuiObjects and Path2D shapes. This opt-in layout option will become the platform default next month.
  • Plus Private Servers: Starting September 24, Roblox Plus private servers will be reduced to one free server per game rather than unlimited, helping game developers manage host traffic cost structure.
