Hey boys and girls!
Please do not vote without actually testing this in-game!
A few patches back, I introduced a chat command that most people probably didn't notice. The command is /debug Diagonal and it will make the game handle diagonal movement differently.
Right now, when running diagonally the game will move you as fast in both directions as if you were only holding down one direction. This causes your actual velocity to be ~40 % faster when running diagonally. With the debug command, you can make the game normalize the direction to run at a mathematically correct speed.
Here's a short visual aid for the 2 people interested
The current behavior is not a bug as such, but simply a movement method that I personally prefer. Strangely enough, sometimes not everyone agrees with me! Therefore I would like to ask the community to go into the game, type "/debug Diagonal" (without quotes) in the chat and try playing that way for a while!
If it turns out that a majority of people actually prefer this kind of movement, we'll likely change it up at some point in the (not super far) future. If that happens, we'll naturally also do minor changes on certain mechanics in the game, since some stuff will become more difficult. I'm looking at you, Giga Slime spin!
So, get into the game and try it out, and then vote in the poll! Feel free to post below if you want some more verbose discussion.
