Does this means we are going to get a better particle system?

Do my eyes deceive me? A ROBLOX staff member posting in #development-discussion?! It’s almost unheard of! 
Animated particles will help a LOT of people, and I for one am excited for this update!

And the funny thing is that if a normal user posted the same topic, it would’ve been taken down for being off-topic.

You are probably right on that one

Well, I’m terribly sorry everybody.
My Flipbook changes inadvertedly were the cause of this rather embarrasing and serious bug: Particles, beams, and trails all disappearing, not disappearing when supposed to, and causing performance issues - #40 by JaapSuter
Fixing this first is more important than releasing Flipbooks, but it has the unfortunate consequence that I won’t be able to enable Flipbooks until the new year.
I’m terribly sorry everybody. I know people are as excited about this feature as I am, but stability of the existing product is more important (especially around the holidays), and that means Flipbooks has to wait until after Christmas before you’ll be abe to use it.
My fault. I’ll keep everybody posted.

All good. I love what you’re doing. I need this. We all need this. You’re literally carrying Christmas on your back. If you need a further pep talk, memes for motivation or a voucher for McNuggets, I got you.
Best wishes for the holidays.

Hey! Is there any rough date in mind as to when flipbooks will go live, or into public beta?

Excited for this, any news on when it might be enabled?

Yep, flipbooks are spritesheet particles, sadly when they tried implementing them it caused an issue with beams visibility, but that was months ago, and hopefully it is released soon.

Will they add flipbooks for meshes as well? Will definitely be helpful.

How about the maximum decal size problem, wouldn’t that affect spritesheet’s quality?
1 Like
It would, but there’s nothing we can do about it since the decal size needs to stay consistent. Your only options would probably just be choosing to use smaller frame count sheets, like 2x2s or 4x4s

Roblox is slowly becoming unity. Oh No
Jokes aside, that is REALLY cool and brings so much possibilities!
Also, any context on how this will work? I’m kinda curious, will it be like the StudsPerTile property for textures but pixels?
