Devlog: Rollback Netcode Testing Breakthrough

Added 2024-04-26 07:32:17 +0000 UTC

Hey crew! Hello to both old and new faces. Just wanted to report that we had a major breakthrough in the last week or so regarding getting a successful rollback netcode test. We ran our first set of test runs between members from the west and east coast of our team without any major desyncing. While we still have some issues to iron out, this is a major development and breakthrough.

Unlike the previous Shot One project where we didn't address netcode from the start (Which ended up being a massive headache later)- We came back from PAX East and focused on getting netcode proper up and running as early as possible. This was done with the help of our friend Pandan, a fellow dev who's working on his latest game GearGrit and was able to get netcode up and running on his previous PVP title, Fadeout. It's awesome to have him helping us out with his expertise.

Why's this important? This opens up the doors for being able to get our Patreon backers and testers trying out the game from an early stage.

Check out the footage! For a few weeks work this is none too shabby. Our next devlog will have a lot more preproduction updates.
