Boy I sure hope the comments section is civil on this!

only thing i can remember as of now that angers me about him is that he never added custom G.N./A.S. uniforms

not angry from the rank rework not being added tho that shit was never sent as a proposal anyways

god, the grand navy, we cant have shit

i voted 4 because i was like “eh he was kinda immature with that guy and always is with the ‘easy ban’ type of thing”

am i bad cuz 4 is so damn close to 5

Holy smokes I was not expecting this many votes this quickly.

The game is very enjoyable. I don’t play anymore cause I’ve finished the content. The game has been updated very slowly but he’s just one guy so that’s fine. Now that there’s more people, I’m sure the updates will come out sooner. Vetex doesn’t respond well to criticism, but he is transparent about everything he’s working on so yeah.

(saw someone else post something similar, now I know these exist)

I feel like making the game enjoyable bit is underrated

Ok… Well I guess…

Vetex is certainly one of the better devs on Roblox if we’re only considering efficiency, however his community management certainly holds him back. He has years of experience under his belt so it makes sense he’ll be quite good at actually developing .
However, outside of updating the Trello, his community engagement is rather poor (especially in regards to criticism of any kind) which sours many peoples opinion of him. Additionally, it’s my personal belief ( pure speculation) that he prioritizes lore accuracy above player enjoyment in the current (and near future) state of the game. Especially when it comes to something such as Hecate Essence, which is designed to be miserable.

he only does lore accuracy when people are chill with it, the stat build renames had a lot of backlash

also lore accuracy? wheres the customizable faction uniforms then?

hes good at the actual development part of his job, not with the social side of his job

Memory leaks and general game performance lead me to believe he is not a very good programmer, I can only imagine the spaghetti code he’s (probably) kept since AA. His design choices (the player marker at release, quest cancelling, raising stat requirements for spells and techniques, THE LORE ACCURACY) are puzzling at best. As for community management? Easy ban.

he made arcane odyssey, that makes him a good developer

Easy Ban indeed!

It’s impressive for a solo developer, but I don’t think it makes him a good one.

So i agreed game performance was shit, when I played on windows. I tried playing on linux using sober and i was getting my full 144 fps with the lowest drop being to 80

For whatever reason, arcane odyssey only performs like shit on windows and runs amazing on linux

it’s a ploy by microsoft to make people play sea of thieves instead

i think being able to make of game of this scale alone and making it actually good makes him a good dev
