โYou may spend your first year creating with nothing to show for it.โ
We asked @Awokein, Producer of Blade Ball on Roblox, for his best advice ๐
we created an r6 hitbox rig specifically to keep the hitboxes consistent. i think what threw people off the most was that their visual reference for timing had changed.
after months, if not years, of playing with r6; peopleโs muscle memory was naturally built around those animations and proportions, so even with consistent gameplay, the different visuals could still have made timings feel off.
the devex increase is what justified us spending 4 weeks of development costs on the conversion.
obviously now that weโve reverted, that work is effectively a net loss. but, if r15 becomes something the community genuinely wants in the future, then we can explore cross-compatibility.
weโve decided the best approach is to return to r6, let the game recover, and if thereโs ever strong demand for r15, weโll be in a much better position to introduce it alongside r6 instead of replacing it.
@Aardappel_Lamp it was not made cross-compatible. the game either runs on r6, or r15; not both at the same time.
it would have taken even more time, and roblox does not let you benefit from the devex increase unless you solely force R15.
#1 in the world. I'm speechless. Massive shoutout to the dev team for all the nonstop hard work, and to every player who joins the weekly updates & events.
Hosting these events and seeing you all enjoy the weekly updates every weekend is the highlight of my week.
Thank you all, truly โค๏ธ
