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

Figured out how to use clipping masks on procreate, this will be my artstyle of this month now

CAVE LEVEL!

Watch out for spiders... And your step!

Done decorating the cave (with also some slight changes in general), I also changed some of the colours (Koppy's palette now varying from each level, etc.)

This new update might be out soon.

- New sprint particles for Koppy! The previous particles were barelly noticeable so I changed them to be more visually visible.

- Health pickups! They can be found somewhere in each level, it restores the player's health by 1 heart.

And also...

INTRO CUTSCENE! (W.I.P)

"Wait... Didn't you already make an intro cutscene like 5 times before?" This time is for real

Almost every level will have its own cutscene, including some extra cutscenes for other stuff.

(The music is placeholder only)

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.

New update!

- New spawn & respawn effects to the enemies, now it's clearer when and where an enemy is about to spawn;

- Visual indicator to the spiders' movement! (String lines on the background) Now it's clearer to understand where the spiders appear.

Happy Easter!

Here's some concepts (2025/26) of Hare & Rabbit characters I have in mind for my project "Kopsocks" (they won't appear in this game yet).

Their designs are still not final, but the concepts are already set.

Koppy if he was cool and american and if he had a physical release
