If I’m being honest here, I’m shocked nobody else has done this yet and, believe me, I checked.
What is Low Poly?
In Roblox, polygons play a major factor to game speed. For the manpower of most PCs, including mine, polygons affect gameplay and an excess of them can create major lag. Games with huge polygon counts hurt. But how can we as devs counter this to make our games easier to play for our players to make them stay later? That’s where low poly builds come in. You’ve seen them. Nice, neat,…
