Interview

The post-obit interview was between Thundermaker300 and litozinnamon on Error: Page "User blog:RBLXDeveloperInterviews/litozinnamon: Phantom Forces" does not exist., equally role of the Developer Connections Project.

What was information technology like developing Phantom Forces?

A lot of trial and error. Most of the beginning development was experimenting with unlike approaches to getting certain mechanics to work with Roblox'south technical limitations and limited tools. System also tends to deteriorate over time due to our lack of professional experience. Over the couple years of its development nosotros have scrapped and rebuilt major parts of the game from scratch such as the gun framework and the UI framework multiple times and programme to exercise so again in the almost future every bit structural issues rise again.

Much of the challenge in evolution comes from the lack of foresight in how large the project would always become. We did non look the amount of success PF would consistently maintain, expecting it to die out in a few years and so that we would naturally movement onto a new project. Because it still has a strong and potentially continually growing histrion base, we are motivated to keep adding new content to the game. Nevertheless, this means major additions of lawmaking into a framework structure that wasn't quite planned out far enough to anticipate new game mechanics or customization options, leading us to increasing organizational problems.

Another challenge is managing a ton of community contributors as the game grows. Every bit an initial small group of three developers, we have somehow inevitably expanded to an entire Discord customs of people who actively want to assistance with content creation, suggestions, map additions, and so forth. It becomes more difficult to organize the management of evolution because everyone is e'er throwing in their own ideas, occasionally leading to internal conflicts even without involving the atomic number 82 developers. But since I am always getting more busy with school and having less time to work on development, these contributors have filled in the gap of content creation that I would normally have done back in the early on development stages.

What challenges did you take to overcome while developing? What was the most challenging?

Same every bit previous answer.

What did you enjoy most while developing Phantom Forces?

The best office well-nigh developing Phantom Forces is testing new game mechanics or content on alive servers with random players who drop in for feedback. It is incredibly rewarding to play a successful test build of the game in a manner that I envision it to work and seeing other players agree with my management and implementation. Making steady progress on a function of the game, checking that each stage of it works correctly in these test sessions, and knowing exactly what to add next is what motivates me to continue developing Phantom Forces.

What was information technology similar to develop a game that was featured in an official Roblox event?

In practice, there wasn't really anything more than special most developing a game featured in an official Roblox upshot. Getting selected was an honor, but the actual evolution was more than or less the same with the exception that we now had to follow certain guidelines from our client. Ordinarily we all develop and work at different paces, whenever we liked or wanted to push updates. Here, nosotros had to follow up more than consistently with our supervisor with our progress, getting the feeling of a more than professional work environment with a specific project schedule. It felt very similar to our Accelerator internship experience at the Roblox HQ and funny plenty we were working with the same Roblox admin who was managing u.s.a..

It was adequately easy and comfortable to discuss ideas with our supervisor for the event, such as our progress and technical problems Roblox needed to accost on their end to get certain things working. And it is a smashing feeling to meet the result become alive and hear that the upper heads at Roblox say they like what's going on.

Is there annihilation else yous'd like to share?

Phantom Forces has always been a very interesting hybrid first person shooter of many of today's nigh pop shooters. By studying popular FPS games, I often find out what aspects of their gameplay are frustrating equally a actor and what aspects are enjoyable. Information technology is through getting inspired by what developers get right in mainstream FPS titles and borrowing pieces of these effective ideas to work towards creating an idealized vision of my own FPS game.</noinclude>

Gamemodes

At that place are vii total gamemodes; six of them are available for players to pick in a full general server. All of them include 2 teams which are Phantoms and Ghosts.

Team Deathmatch

A race betwixt teams to get the most kills upwardly to 200. One team wins if they accomplish a total of 200 kills or has the highest number of kills when the xv-minute time limit is reached.

Flare Domination

Flare Domination was the 2nd gamemode to be added to the game. There are 3 capture points (A, B and C), which give teams points when captured. The more capture points a squad owns, the faster a team's score increases. The first squad to reach 200 points wins the round. If the timer reaches naught, i team with the almost points wins.

Rex of the Loma

Both teams start with 600 points. The gamemode runs on a "health" style system; when a team controls the loma, the opposing squad loses points. The first squad to lose all their points or the squad with the least points when the timer runs out loses the round.

Impale Confirmed

In this gamemode, when players are killed, they drop a Domestic dog Tag. Phantoms and Ghosts must pick upward a Dog Tag from the opposing team in order to score points. Similar Team Deathmatch, kills play a huge role in this way. If a team member collects another team member'due south Canis familiaris Tag, the impale will be denied.

Capture the Flag

In this gamemode, both teams must pick up the opposing team's flag and return it to their abode base in order to score points. The first squad to capture v flags or has the nearly flags captured before fourth dimension runs out wins.

Infection (Halloween 2019)

In this gamemode, one role player is chosen to be infected while the other players try to defend themselves from those who are infected. Afterward some time iii portals shows upwardly to save those who are not infected. It is worthy to annotation that  those portals are in the same position as those capture points in Flare Domination. If no one is left not infected, the infected wins. If a survivor has traveled through a portal, the survivors wins. To those who won in this gamemode, they are awarded with a scythe. This gamemode is only accessible in private servers using the command "/map:inf".

Gun Game

In this gamemode,I Player of one team must get 32 kills to win. This gamemode is only accessible in individual servers

Hard Point

Hard Signal is the latest gamemode to be added. In this gamemode, Players take to be on the point. The more players of the same team, the more points the squad will go. When the squad gets 700 points or take the well-nigh number of points, they win the circular. The team that has the to the lowest degree number of points will lose the round. The team cannot get points if there is an equivalent or higher amount of players of the opposing team to the squad, the team cannot receive points from it

Maps

This list does not contain all of the maps. For a list and descriptions of all the maps in the game, you lot should navigate to the dedicated Phantom Forces Wiki.

Crane Site

Crane Site is one of the original maps of the game. Its iconic crane (hence the name) was featured in one of the original thumbnails for the game. Depending on the game mode, the crane tin can be one of the most useful spots on the map or useless. Skilled players volition commonly subcontract kills off of people who camp on the crane. The original Crane Site map also contained buildings with cramped staircases, making them perfect spots for knife fights. Since the 2.0.0 update, this map was revamped and made much more detailed.

Desert Storm

One of the almost intense maps of the game, Desert Storm is known for its alleyways and trenches, also as its initial lighting scheme. At that place are a few sniping spots from within buildings, but it is easy to be exposed. Streets have ii-story buildings lining them, making the map perfect for trapping a group advance. The trench in the centre of the map allows navigation to almost any part of the map easy without experiencing much resistance. Still, the staircases leading to the trench are steep and a player with a knife can hands jump other players without existence seen. Since the 2.0.0 update, this map was revamped and fabricated much more detailed.

Mall (formerly known every bit Mall Construction)

The Mall map is a more recent map in the game. Information technology is fabricated upwards of a two-story building, non including the basis flooring and the roof. Simply like the Crane in the Crane Site, the roof can exist a valuable nugget depending on the game mode. The roof is easy to military camp on and it's really not hard to go on control of all the ladders/staircases that are in the map. There is a crane that is smaller than the Crane in Crane Site simply it isn't climbable. The lag bug with this map have been stock-still.

Metro

The map Metro consists of a subway and 2 big corridors that lead into a primal hub, along with advertisement boards upwardly along some parts of the map. Information technology contains side routes which let for spawnkilling, ambushing, distracting opposing team for teammates to do the objective. However, thespian spawns are commonly pretty far from the actual "Fighting Zone" of the map, and notorious for causing players to lag, as it is a "Closed Battlefield" arrangement, compared with other maps, in which they are mostly open up (save for the building fighting, I.E. Metropolis Mall, while the fighting takes place inside most of the time, fighting tin happen in the mall's courtyard.) Since it is a big map, snipers can be used, but it is usually hard to do then mainly because in that location is a lot of comprehend for players to avoid snipers. Side routes in the upper floor can lead to spawn camping for 1 team. Also, the players that take the side routes usually equip rifles or carbines to disrupt the enemy team more.

Ravod 911

This map is based on Zavod 311 from Battlefield 4. Information technology plays out exactly the aforementioned, minus a few crates and tanks in the Team Deathmatch area of Zavod 311 (Russian: Завод 311 "Mill 311"). It is set in an abandoned Cold War-era Soviet tank factory and the forested area around it. The map is centered around the C, D and E flags of Zavod 311. It consists of a hill and 3 huts on the Ghosts spawn, and the 2 assembly towers about the Phantom spawn. Players can climb upwardly to the elevation of these two towers, and in that location is also an exploit to get the very tiptop, which isn't really accessible. The map also features a tunnel system, which is attainable on both sides of the towers, and runs through the ground in between. Lot's of players snipe on the hills and the two assembly towers. This map features a lot of activeness like its Battleground four analogue, and is well-nigh identical, except for the name (Ravod 911) and missing a few decorative features.

Crane Site Revamp

Crane Site Revamp is a map that is very snowy and is, as suggested, a revamp of the former Crane Site. The map has ii cranes beyond from each other, which leads to a lot of people sniping each other from both cranes. On the King of the Colina gamemode, the hill is on tiptop of the parking lot with a lot of encompass, which is needed due to the 2 cranes. The office buildings are closer to the parking lot, which means that you have to defend quite a bit while on the hill. The back one-half of the map has the standard crane site buildings, only the front of the map has buildings similar to ones on a rig, and what looked to be a small oil rig. Crane Site Revamp was removed in update 2.0.0, only was readded in 5.five.1.

Base Luna

This map took identify in space and on the Moon. Teams are spawned in different rocket launch areas or on the surface of the Moon. Players also have the power to jump high because there is low gravity. A railgun was exclusively made for this map. This map was merely available during the 2016 ROBLOX Universe issue.

Ruins

Ruins is one of the nigh expansive and detailed maps in the game, stretching over a ≈350×650 stud area (i.east. ≈227500 studs²), with ≈85 studs of vertical height from the flooring of the catacombs to the pinnacle of the clerestory (≈70 from the ground floor.) This makes for a large play area. There is a mixture of comprehend, both high and low, to let for most playstyles. However, shut quarter weaponry is largely disadvantaged in this map due to much of the play area having wide open sightlines. A grid system of catacombs runs underneath the map to provide admission to both graveyards and the underside of the altar, which features some of the longest unobstructed sightlines. It was originally supposed to be simply role of the Ready Player One event, but remained playable after the event ended.

Mirage

Mirage is a map that was released on the 4th of July update of 2018. Delusion consists of many alpine buildings, a highway and 2 cranes. It is a large size construction site, located in a sandy area, maybe giving the map its proper noun. There are many hiding spots in the buildings and 2 big cranes giving places to snipe enemies and a possibility to access the buildings below their tips. There are also billboards along the highway that can be accessed, giving a form of cover from enemies on the highway.

Rig

Rig is a map added in New Steel Office ii. The map takes place on an oil rig in the middle of the ocean. The map is minor just in that location is extremely vehement fighting due to a large number of players in a pocket-size expanse. At that place are a lot of blind spots on this map from to a higher place and from corridors whilst out in the open, so it's a skillful idea for players to bank check their dorsum a lot. It'due south also worth noting that most of the map's surfaces are metal, so it is very hard for a player to sneak around without other players knowing where they are.

Refinery

Refinery is a map added in the Winter Update (Part 1) of 2018.

Blizzard

Blizzard was added in 2019.
