Take a sip of water every time I say "spawn point". Yes, even that one.

🎮 I worked on Marble It Up! Ultra, so check it out maybe :) store.steampowered.com/app/864060/Marble_It_Up_Ult…

    hi. I was away due to life issues, extreme burnout, and various gamedev projects. if you're still here, thank you for your unwavering support. 💙🧡 speaking of, consider checking out the marble game I worked on! it's on every platform (except the souljagame): store.steampowered.com/app/864060/Marble_It_Up_Ult…
  • @charKT-7461
    blaming my c9 on a bad spawn location is now valid
  • @Breadn
    You've found another way for people to cope with losses that were definitely not their fault, but the 0.25 second difference from spawn points.
  • @Antifrost
    12:18 "Okay, so Team 1 has twelve spawn points" This bit of trivia is going to haunt me for the rest of my life
  • @tusami3315
    I can't wait to see "adjusted respawn points in order to make more fair and logical spawns" in the next set of patch notes
  • @Foos3yOW
    What I found the most interesting is that Horizon has 5 spawn points despite being an Overwatch 1 map
  • @Markm8
    This is definitely a “how did you guys mess this up” kind of vibe
  • @blacklight683
    guys we didnt lose because we suck, we lost cuz we spawned 0.01m farther than the other team
  • @Cloud7050
    This definitely feels like an oversight. Also I really appreciate your overanalysing of things like this. Going super deep into the "useless" details and exact numbers. It takes a special kind of person with unique dedication and interests to make undoubtedly high quality content like this, and surprisingly there's a healthy amount of viewers who'd watch it.
  • @rya_.
    MARBLR IS THAT YOU????
  • @NateFigs
    Played for thousands of hours and never even thought about this mechanic. Thank you Marblr 🙏🙏🙏 another thing I can blame when I lose
  • @bstreet500
    “Since these maps are perfectly mirror, there are no differences betwe— oh wait they’re different…” funniest line ever! So happy you’re back Marblr!! Missed you
  • @azraelspeaks
    As a QA lead (for a completely unrelated industry) your vids are always fun to watch. It also shows how beneficial a good QA team can be. Either these were caught and the devs said, "F*CK IT! WE'LL DO IT LIVE!!!" or the QA team was never assigned to look for these types of issues. I am thinking it is the former and it has never been any sort of issue.
  • @frogboy77
    whoever drew that D.Va must be really cool
  • Oh my gosh. Hi, Lucio main here- thank you for proving that I’m not crazy. I always found the rollouts seemed ever so slightly off depending on team selection and people just told me that I was just spawning in a different spot and that nothing changes between the teams- but I WAS RIGHT! Thank you, that drove me insane when I used to play overwatch.
  • @timon2533
    6:09 I love the added E on the Circuit Royal. It's a subtile statement but it's there
  • @NewoSuez
    the addition of a tiny 'E' for Circuit Royal(e) in the top left makes me happy, it only makes sense
  • @0ak_
    No way you started this off with an Andy hunter song, my childhood memories of playing ssx3 just came back holy shit
