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

My first shot at a webcomic! Starting simple and small.

Lunch break!

#Devruary (day 19):

I always get burnt out when I spend too long trying to fix one issue/bug knowing that I got many more to fix, so I usually just work on smaller stuff in the game and later come back to that big issue (also motivation).

Doki Doki Literature Club is celebrating Monika's birthday and the 8th anniversary of DDLC with exclusive stickers, avatar frames and backgrounds on Game Jolt! 

Head over to the shop to collect yours 👉 https://gamejolt.com/#shop

"Lobo"

Probably the longest I've ever spent on an art piece like ever (~6h 40min!!!)

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.

I will start to put more effort in editing my devlog videos on YouTube! (My other ones don't even have any editing at all)

There's also new stuff added to the game, watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe0CExvi49g

Koppy Kopsocks has a new look! And a new version avaliable to play! (which I secretly dropped it 3 days ago)

For 2026, my goal is to finish the Demo, and if things go well (bugs all clear, etc) I might try finish the full game and launch it!
