The History of ROBLOX's Stolen Assets

[John_Shrekinson]

Yo @ManiacPumpkin do you know Crane Brain?

What were they thinking when they made THIS toy?! | stop motion

[John_Shrekinson]

I was proven correct. An interesting video indeed.

[ManiacPumpkin]

Yeah I remember that goofy figure, lol.
A true Hasbro masterpiece.

@ManiacPumpkin

I’m not a big fan on the idea that once you buy indie, use indie behaviors deep within your code, then have to discontinue indie for a short while only to have all of those behaviors removed. Like I don’t remember where have of them went and it ultimately breaks the game. So my game only properly works unless I have constant indie going on which I don’t necessarily agree with.
I understand this for free users, but I feel once you buy indie you should be able to keep those behaviors in the game even afterwards, but maybe add a system that removes behaviors that are copied and imported into the game to keep from duplication, but at least keep the same behaviors already there.

Hey @ManiacPumpkin - I think you probably already know all this, but as a clarification for anyone else reading the thread:

Nothing is removed from your games when you downgrade your account. No behaviors, or any other features get removed when you cancel an account upgrade. It is safe to downgrade, and your games will be left alone in their existing state.

Here is what can happen though:

1. You have indie upgrade, and add Indie only features to your game
2. You download your account
3. You go back and edit your game, now using a free account
   (at this point everything is fine, and nothing has been changed)
4. You now edit the behaviors of an object that has indie-only features with your free account, and re-save them

Now, when the object’s behaviors are saved, the Indie-only behaviors will not save. Blocks are fungible, and there is no mechanism to track the history of a specific behavior block and somehow know that it was previously added while your account was in a different state. This is not something that was added intentionally - it’s just a side-effect of the way the system is designed. I’m not a big fan of it either, but it’s not clear what the solution might be.

It would be possible to display a warning when editing an object with upgraded behaviors using a free account, and offer the opportunity to change your mind before saving. That may help accidentally removing behaviors that can’t easily be re-added.

Clementine sounds the name of an orange

Oh shoot I was right

No wonder why

[meburningslime]

Our lord has visited us!

In all seriousness though, thanks for the clarification. I’ve heard more than several people asking me about this.

[meburningslime]

Also, I’m considering making a new game on flowlab soon. What genres are most popular with y’all?

I’ve mostly prepared for creating unity games now. I’m working with a good friend to make a psychedelic science fiction shooter (yes that’s a mouthful) after visiting a Meow Wolf installment for the fifth time. I’ll keep people posted if you’re interested.
