@elhagan16 @syjlar a PlayStation release is planned for after release.

@TidesSong will you be bringing this to playstation? Tagging my coop buddy @syjlar

@TravisDylan8 Yeah that matches the feedback we got from playtests so far. Most players were irritated when getting hit during dodges.

@06VTX1300R at this point its hard to discern, only tested the left one on one character at the same time, though I think its safe to assume the right one is a lot better for performance, just cause the logic is way simpler.

So we tried the Advanced Locomotion System system (Left) vs. our current movement implementation (Right) The question is if we should switch to using ALS. Which one do you think looks better? #ue4 #indiedev #gamedev #UnrealEngine #gaming

@FilthyRando is it possible? yes. is it worth the effort? maybe. 😅

@ChasseCourt ours is the right one, the one that focuses on the enemy. we could easily implement that for the left one as well though

@SkyNinjaXD maybe... or maybe it would be easier to just implement the whole thing at once 😅 I guess we will find out.

@TidesSong Right one looks like it would feel better to control. Left has some features that right is missing - smoother rotation on the spot, character feels like they have weight to their turn, camera is more dynamic. Maybe take some of these features and implement them in your system?

@cortinas_angel Thank you so much :)

@leayulancon exactement!

Un coop Soulslike-Roguelike indé ???

@LUCASTUCIOUS absolutely! don't worry you wont have to wait that long to try it yourself 😉

@TidesSong Left one look better. But right look more precise. It might depends what is the feeling with controller in hand. Sometimes game dev require to experience the game 🖖 Good luck

@matttwood that actually very good to hear, switching to the left one would have taken quite a bit of additional work.

@TidesSong From these two clips, the right one reads much better to me.

@AtStudio46 @JulianHartinger yeah good call, the initial implementation was quite forward but it is quite complex, and would surely need a lot of adjustments.

@TidesSong @JulianHartinger ALS looks good but beware of its complexities and how that might effect your development cycle. Go with what you feel comfortable managing.

@musictylercline thats quite a relief to hear :) implementing the new system would have taken quite some work.

@TidesSong The second one all day.

@HACKERBOYPETER surprisingly ALS actually doesn't feel so bad, its a little more sluggish but still feels quite responsive.

@JulianHartinger thats actually a good question, you can boost the gravity scale. after all cloth simulation is a very abstract science that doesn't really account for weight at all.

@TidesSong Stupid question from an artist- could you anyway make the cloak look more „heavier“? 🙈 Thats something i allways realise - cloaks in games never „look/feel“ like they have an actual weight 🙈🙈

Our Concept Artist @Appylon posted a couple new sketches he created for Song of the Tides, go check out his Artstation for more goodness: artstation.com/artwork/nYk556

@AmAVagabond @Lord_Mandalore the silence is your life from the moment you start indie. get used to it, learn to love it. you do what you do not for them, you do it for yourself. you have to know the way, and you will have to walk it alone. only at the end you will find anything but silence.

Like a lot of #gamedevs, you've probably experienced the struggle of pitching YouTubers the #indiegame you pour your soul into only to be met with silence. How do you do it? If anyone knows, it's @Lord_Mandalore Idk, maybe you'll learn something ⬇️ buff.ly/2SZbae7

Sorry for the recent lack of updates guys, we have been hard at work on a new build. There will be some new juicy footage coming out of that soon though.

We usually don't highlight other games, but sometimes something looks just so good we can't help but appreciate it and spread the love :) twitter.com/rittzler/statu…
