Development[]

Some point at April 2015, drager980 created Devil Beater under a PvP genre (now known as Devil Brawler) before switching into a boss-fighting arena genre.

Circa Christmas 2015, the Experience reached 100K players milestone.

Around early 2016, a user named DeadDang came to drager980 offering to write and direct a brand-new story arc starring him and his friends. Unlikely, drager980 offered Dead to collaborate the game, which later accepted to collaborate to write the (now-ceased) new arc, known as The Empire Arc.

Sometime around June 2016, the Experience reached 500K plays milestone.

During the first week of February 2017, due to Roblox's new policy, drager980 was enforced to remake the Experience from scratch. At the same month, this Experience will reach the 1 million plays milestone.

As announced during June 2017, the Experience is scheduled to close on September 23, 2017.

However the Experience has not closed yet, even though the date has passed.

During July 2018, the Experience was closed because of an update to experimental mode changes. drager980 confirmed that the Experience would break in the removal of Experimental Mode.

Development on DEVIL BEATER ORIGINAL has stopped. As of now, the Experience is open and free to take a copy of and make it into your own thing. Be warned that it is not easy to fully fix this Experience.

Drama and controversy[]

However, this Experience was not a safe place, as this Experience was easily exploited by exploiters in-Experience. The Experience also includes several secret characters that got leaked by players.

This Experience also competed with another boss-fighting Experience, Boss Fighting Stages (or possibly Strife! as well) due to being identical gameplay-wise and competitive bosses. However, both communities usually bash and start drama amongst each other due to which Experience is better. Most BFS community fans complained to DB about how broken the gameplay scripts, too many characters (due to BFS only having four playable classes whilst DB had over fifty playable characters) and having a bad storyline.

By around September 2016, DeadDang completely ditched the Experience due to how atrocious the DB community is. Thus, lost hope towards the Experience then cancelling the Empire Arc in the process.

Due to the drama, several of the veterans felt the same way, thus leaving the community.

Staff explained[]

The staff is filled with the following roles:

Administrators[]

These are the people that drager980 has chosen to make sure the game stays reasonable, admins have the following commands: kick, slay, kill, wisp, yell, acfx. If someone claims to be an admin, ask them to use /e wisp (thing here). Wisp and Yell are commands to give an admin a unique chat color which is eye-catching to make sure players easily listen to what an admin has to say.

Moderators[]

These are the people that were chosen who get access to call any admin immediately, these guys report everything they can call suspicious to an admin via means we won't describe here. The difference with normal players and mods is well.... They can see the banned people and have access to see who is Kick on Sight to report them immediately.

Builders[]

People that build maps/models for the Experience, (pretty simple).

Developers[]

These people make the characters and or mechanics(?) for the Experience. Some characters made by other developers then drager980 include: Zac Ramsey, Karthus Gehrman, Lisuke Higashikata, etc.

Legacy[]

After the sharing of the Experience, several other Experiences were created:
