Original Post

Is your NPC netcode.

It still looks like shit. This is detracting from the entire game as a whole. NPCs should not be sliding around, it makes the game look cheap and it's been like this for years. Everyone sitting around here talking about mechanics and gameplay when the literal core engine is still absolute ass.

This is a dealbreaker for 95% of people.

I don't know what to tell you but I've been sitting here following this game for years and it's like you don't want to touch it. You need to fix it. You cannot have teleporting enemies, low FPS enemies, glitching movement enemies, sliding enemies.

We told you this in 2021. 2022. 2023. 2024. 2025.

I'm almost positive you plan to ship with this crap still in the game.

This is a known issue and something we will be focusing on soon, it has taken a bit of a backseat in favor of other higher prio bugs/feature deliverables.

Also brother, I feel your passion. Might I recommend remembering, that we are real people behind the reddit screen. It's ok to remember we are still developing, and shit is gonna be a little jank in certain areas. <3
