Don’t say half of the developer community is upset? How are you picking an underdog story whilst picking the half the developer community story? You need to pick one lol. I’m not looking past anything I just said that half the community isn’t outraged.
I showed you that bundle that you can’t recreate with R6.
I told you that’s because more options are possible logistically with R15. Are you admitting R15 is a better product?
A game is in the interest of people playing, if there was actually a pool of people who wanted to use R6 then a game would adopt that. People in this thread have already said that R6 is easy to work with so it is in their benefit to use R6. But they don’t because they realized that more people want R15.
The fact that the userbase has gone up 30x since 2016 has nothing to do with the fact that R15 was introduced that year. All you’re seeing is the natural growth of Roblox’s playerbase, people who have never played wouldn’t even understand R15 or R6, certainly not enough to join because of one or the other.
This is pretty ignorant lol, are you saying that Roblox working their socks off to release R15 didn’t at all increase the player base at all? You’d think Roblox would be smart enough to forsee if introducing R15 was a good idea or not. I mean cmon guys it’s the real world. R15 introduced a myriad of different options for accessorizing avatars so it isn’t farfetched to think that player numbers went up because of it.
I see your point, but @chesse20 seemed to be implying that 100% of them joined because of them adding a new rig. I heavily doubt that anyone who didn’t already play would care at all.
An update gaining players vs being a good idea are two different things, not usually related to each other.
Thank you so much for replying! I have experimented with those R15 skinned meshes in the past. I actually really loved how they looked. Honestly you’re right about animating the whole arm, I’ll give it a try sometime! Thank you again!
I was implying the majority (98% of users) have no reason to change their avatar into one with less features and articulation and since 97% percent of all accounts have been made since 2016 its apparent that only a small group of roblox users have had reason to change to R6.
I’m not implying that users joined roblox becuase of r15, just that most users don’t have a reason to change their avatar into a strictly worse avatar rig.
I get the feeling this is why no one is taking you seriously. R6 isn’t “strictly worse”, it’s different. This is like saying a screwdriver is a useless tool because it can’t hammer a nail. Both technologies have different styles and different uses, and saying one is worse because it can’t do what the other can isn’t gonna put you in a good light. Each have their strengths and weakness, and are designed to fit specific needs.
R6 has almost only weaknesses which is why the majority of popular games use it and why roblox has stated that players in R15 games stay in them for 40% longer. If R6 was of major benefit to most developers it wouldn’t be facing deprecation. Its great that roblox is supporting devs that continue to use R6 by giving them a tool to let people keep their r15 avatars in r6 experinces but it would be much better if those games and social experinces used R15 instead.
