In particular, shaders are complex and developing a new environment for previewing and editing shaders in Houdini is expensive and difficult to implement quickly. To be able to use the renderer in a game engine, you must either prepare a conversion pipeline instead of a renderer or use a game engine.

Limited Control: While Roblox’s platform is great and user-friendly, it ultimately is not a stand-alone game development engine like Unity, Godot, or Unreal. And thus, Roblox’s toolkit is not as robust or versatile as other game engines. This can limit the types of games that can be created on the platform.
