Update 9am UTC:
 Roblox has found the issue and is working to fix it. The good news HawkWatch is already looking good and working normally, though there could be a couple more blips as Roblox works through their changes to remediate. 

Thanks everyone for hanging in there!!

----

Roblox is experiencing issues which is impacting HawkWatch's ability to find game changes ... 

Been watching the last hour since this started and as of right now no update from Roblox. 

Keep updated here: https://status.roblox.com/



Roblox Found issue! 

I knew this day would come... when some of the games you watch are removed in roblox, either by the creator or roblox...which of course means Hawkwatch can't track nonexistent games.

This little update will notify you if a game you watch has been deleted and automatically remove the watch for you. 

Happy tracking! 

New Feature: Notice of Game Deleted

New Commands
- /watch setup - Interactive game setup with guided configuration menu
- /settings - View all tracked games or individual game configurations with health checks
- /edit - Modify existing tracking settings with interactive menus and health verification

New Post Methods
- Summary Mode - Maintains a single updating message with complete game details
- Message on Update Mode - Sends new messages for each detected change (classic behavior)
- Post Method Conversion - Switch between modes anytime with `/edit`

Enhanced Features
- Built-in Health Checks - Automatic permission verification for posting/editing messages
- Flexible Input - Support for game names, IDs, and URLs in setup commands
- Interactive Menus - Button-based configuration for easier setup
- Better Overview - `/settings` shows all tracked games with status indicators

Removed Commands
- /watch settings set - Replaced by interactive `/edit` command

Better settings and onboarding update! 



Let’s talk speed, silence, and smarter tracking. This update brings some *major quality-of-life upgrades* and new powers for both players and server admins.

---

**🔁 Now tracking every 1 minute**  
Game updates now show up even faster — down from 2 minutes to **1**.  
HawkWatch is snappier and more responsive than ever.

---

**📢 Per-Game Ping Roles**  
Want to get pinged only when *specific* games update?  
You can now assign a **custom ping role per game**!

✅ Set it when adding a game via `/watch game`  
⚙️ Or update it later with `/watch settings set game:NAME ping_role:@YourRole`  
💤 Don’t want it anymore? `/unset role game:NAME`

> 🔕 **Ping roles will be *ignored* for timestamp-only changes** to keep things less spammy!

---

**🗓️ Smarter Date Tracking Control**  
Let’s be honest — timestamp-only updates can be noisy.  
Now, you’ll occasionally see a **"Disable Date Tracking"** button right in those update posts!

Click it once, and HawkWatch will stop tracking date-only changes for that game.  
No command needed. ✨

> 👀 Prefer to keep it on? You’re not alone — some users love using it to see how active devs are behind the scenes!  
> _cough cough... BloominDaisy_

---

**🎮 Clickable Game Buttons**  
Some alerts now include a **"Play Game"** button so you can hop right into Roblox the moment an update drops.

---

And if you wanna see it all in action, I’ve got the perfect little showcase post right here:

Thanks again to everyone who's been testing, sending feedback, or just vibing with HawkWatch. Your ideas and support mean the world — I genuinely love building cool things for you. 💜

As always, if something feels off, noisy, magical, or confusing, just yell in the support server — or ya know, bring chocolate. ❤️

Now go forth and watch responsibly™ 👀

Watch Party Event 🎦🍿

I've been watching HawkWatch...like a hawk 🤩 for the last several months, and it's definitely handled all the tracking and notifications beautifully!

So I did a minor update I think you'll enjoy 💕

You can now track **5** games!
- was previously capped at 2

Cool down to switch which game to track reduced to 1hr!!!
- was previously 24hr

I'm so proud of the community HawkWatch is building and the support and amazing feedback it's gotten. It remains the fastest out there!

😍 Hope everyone has a beautiful day

HawkWatch is a powerful Discord bot that tracks Roblox game updates in real time. Instantly get notified when your favorite games change—name, description, thumbnails, or last updated.

Easy setup with `/watch setup` provide either the game name, game id, or game url!

Hawkwatch uses data directly from Roblox and not other sources like RoTrends, RoAPI, or Rolimons - enabling hawkwatch to track as fast as possible.
