Public Beta: Testing New Player Movement
What do we need to test?
🖐 Hand Stability While Moving
We've reworked the player body setup, including hands! While some aspects are still being fine-tuned, we’ve finally eliminated the annoying hand jumping that could mess with aiming and shooting.
OLD HANDS WITH NOTICABLE MOVEMENT WHEN CHANGING DIRECTION:
NEW STEADY HANDS WAITING IN BETA:
🏃 Running, Strafing & Movement Flow
The new body system brings cool interactions like leaning over surfaces and pushing off walls, but the main focus, for now, is movement — how natural and responsive it feels while navigating arenas.
🔹 No need to test slow-motion movement just yet! That will come later.
Right now, the focus is on how weapons handle while moving and how fluid it feels to navigate arenas during combat.
Best practices:
To ensure the smoothest experience during testing, we recommend adjusting a few Player Settings:
✅ Turn Off Player Body – The player body isn’t fully tuned for the new setup yet and might be distracting.
✅ Set Movement to "Always Run" – This will help us stress-test extreme speeds and turns.
Phase I — Starts Today!
We're testing extreme and common movement scenarios in these three arenas:
Basement – Lots of stairs and sharp 90° turns
Warehouse – Similar 90° turns for testing precision
Deathbox Sandbox – An open space filled with deadly toys and physics objects
Phase II
After gathering feedback, we'll update the Beta Version with all other arenas and refine the movement system based on player input if needed.
