Been looking at the player movement speed lately, as I feel like it's too fast.
So far, there's been a couple issues:
-A movement speed of 10 units per frame is pretty much moving the camera pixel-by-pixel, and it looks really smooth. Which I prefer. But the movement speed is very "ice skating", if you understand what I mean.
-A movement speed of 5 units per frame looks more in sync with the game's animations, but there's some shaking and shifting which does not look good at all. Plus, you feel like you're in mud moving around.
-A movement speed of 7 units is the sweet spot for speed/animation. But the shaking and shifting is vomit-inducing, like as if you're playing with no V-sync.
The best way is currently the 10 units, as it doesn't look horrible, but it looks too fast. Anyways, might take another break, as I need to take a break from making games for a bit.
