Update #9: Climbing Test, Network Player Improvements

Hey all! This week’s updates is mostly art improvements and bug fixes. We’ve also tried out a new way of doing climbing - let us know what you think! It’s still not quite there but it feels like a different and good direction. We’ve also done some bug fixes and some improvements for the networked version of the player.

Tuning Changes

• Upped the stun threshold again for players to make grappling more viable and reduce accidental stuns
• Changed the climbing to be applied at a point at the top of the player which gives climbing a very different feel
• Removed the ‘forward’ force for climbing - may add it back at some point but for now it’s disabled to make climbing more stable
• Increased upwards climbing force
• Reduced rotation speed while on ground slightly
• Reduced gravity slightly

Level Fixes

• Crusher level new art
• Trying out a ‘shark boundary’ on the minisub level
• Hole in the center of jetpack level larger
• Revised Aero ‘floating island’ level

Bug Fixes

• Fixed issue with spawn points being incorrect in some levels
• Fixed issue with Super Kevin’s blue flash not being networked
• Fixed boat in cave not properly networked
• Fixed cart in jetpack level not being properly networked
