It's great that you took the time to read our posts John
I'm glad that the double jump will be in as well.
But I was wondering, do you plan on allowing games with more than just five runners, since the game should have less lag?

Enemies in Exit Path are you, yourself, buzzsaws, and the unseen totalitarian power that governs you. I don't see a place for moving enemies beyond sharp things and your own dexterous mistakes.

Do you plan on allowing games with more than just five runners, since the game should have less lag??


Lag was not caused so much by runner count but by hosts with slow connections (or no connection for that matter) and slow computers that can't keep up. I'm trying my darndest to optimize the code that runs on your side to keep your game happy while keeping competitors happy as well. Currently Exit Path 2 runs well if you can manage above 25 fps (of 30 fps max) and will run manageable at 20 fps+. Anything below that I'm still working on.

Runner count is currently at six, this might change.

@John:
am actually glad that you wanna keep double jumps in this game and even add some nice details like the delayed jump off. It added variety to a simple game system and made it hard to master. Love it!

Question: are you planning to add flow using diversity, means your velocity depends on the amount of used flow (like how much is gonna be used, or how fast the player taps the flow button)?
I notice'd there is some sort of maximum velocity in EP 1 you can reach and keep through tapping flow and jumping. Also its been no difference if you flow like 3man long or half your flowbar...

Also I have seen some diagonal wall bouncers. Do you mind to give a view of what new obstacles may gonna be included?

thx in advance

Hey John, for the uniplayer in EP2, is there going to be new stuff and are there going to be more maps and longer maps for multiplayer? And I would also like to see new obstacles like FaithPath said. I'll be waiting. Thanks.

Oh, and when do you think that EP2 will be ready to play?

@FaithPath Flow is staged in two levels now with a timeout (no more spamming flow forever). If you are in first stage (normal flow) you'll uncap your velocity while flowing. However if you reach second stage flow you'll be even more uncapped and be able to burn your entire flowbar at the faster pace. It will definitely be a huge reward if you can manage the speed.

Many obstacles will make a repeat but there will be a few new additions. My new favourite is the firepole which will allow sliding downward as well as jumping from pole-to-pole. Hit a springboard and you can ride the firepole upwards and swing to a higher level.

Expect many more ways to die too!

I do not know the fastest time for Uniplayer yet. Uniplayer campaign is 38 (+/- 4) levels.

My armatar broke, no clue why!

Didn't you hear? AG was out last night and everything was screwed up. There are two threads on it in the S&S forum for more info. Mine was messed up too.
