Reworking the player physics & more!

In the feedback I got, some of them said that the player's momentum felt weird in many ways, so now I'm trying to completelly rework the player physics.

I'm also revamping the sprinting & Data menu screen!

What's different in the physics?

I'm still working a lot in this, so the changes will always be different from now on.

In this footage, Koppy has his acceleration and walking speed decreased. Resulting in a more slower and less slippery movement.

What's different in sprinting?

When Koppy sprints, the difference of speed is now instant instead of just gradual.

What's different in the Data menu screen?

The menu now shows you the amount of medals you collected and levels that you've beaten!

I also added a proper confirmation option when you pick "erase", instead of just showing some text telling you what buttons to press.


Here's the feedback in question! If you played the game, feel free to add something extra! Because I'm completelly clueless in what I need to change in the physics to fix these issues lol

[...] "the mid-air controls are a little weird with how the character does a complete 180 with their momentum instead of slowing down. You can get used to it, but it makes landing on enemies a little awkward since you have to overshoot them first, turn around to stomp them, and finally turn around again to continue along the main path."

"The character's momentum feels both fluid and sharp in different ways that didn't feel intuitive. Momentum is preserved for a bit if you let go of a direction but you turn on a dime if you press the opposite direction instead. The gap between the two was a bit jarring. It's not that bad when you're maneuvering yourself in mid air and it's even kinda good to easily move backwards while super jumping. But on the ground it felt awkward at times, I'm not too sure how to describe it."

I also got other comments praising the player movement, so I kinda got a clash of "good, nice to play" and "bad, weird to play", making everything even more confusing to figure out

New enemies: SPIDERS!

They get on the ceilling, and then they rapidly raise down to the floor! If they hit you from above, you get hurt, but if you jump on top of them, you'll defeat them and even get a jump boost - allowing for some cool platforming!

I don't have the game but I've been catching up to the new megas, Mega Lucario Z looks really cool to me (I did kinda get water type vibes from it lol)

(Image quality might not be the best since I had to both compress it and resize it)

Getting ready for christmas! Light up the tree!!!

The final demo of Kopsocks probably won't be ready this year, but I'll try to implement some of the features and a christmas themed level at least.

Koppy wants some #candy for his bowl!

Trick or treat isn't really practiced here, instead we have a knock off (i believe it was actually way before trick or treat? idk) where kids in 1st November ask for BREAD instead of candy, "pão por deus" or something

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

Looking for feedback!

I released a new build of this game, and after this I'm going to work on the full thing, but first i'd like to hear your thoughts on the game so far!

Is the platforming frustrating? Does the controls suck? Please let me know!
