[version 1.0.0] - Really fun dungeon crawler with light rogue-lite vibes. Bosses are great, builds are fun to mess with, and the built-in online co-op makes the quick runs even better. Bosses spawn randomly, drop new gear, the final room hits hard, and there are updates and tons of potential ahead.
Movement feels rather slow and sluggish. Should every step be processed by the server and sent to the client?
Also, overall, movement control is quite inconvenient and very limiting.
Thanks for the feedback! There are items that can increase your movement speed, but yeah I agree walking around still feels a little slow. I want aggroing a mob to feel dangerous so I don’t want the player to be able to easily outrun them, but having mob speed turned up feels super punishing because you can’t react fast enough to outrun them. Maybe there’s an out of combat movement speed?
I wasn't even referring to the walking speed, but rather how it works. The player can't walk diagonally; when changing direction, the character first turns and only then starts walking.
While the game is still designed to have an orthogonal grid, I've done a good bit to improve the responsiveness while moving and turning. I'd love to get an updated opinion if you have the time, thanks!
I still have the feeling that all my actions are only completed once the server confirms them. That's probably why everything in the game feels so slow. I think my ping is high.
Yeah, it is a server authoritative so that’s likely it. Thanks for the feedback and follow up though! If the game ever gets some traction, deploying to more regions to improve latency for players is definitely high on the list!
