This was incredibly wonky in the best way! I was expecting it to be frustrating to play, but the combination of pure chaotic movement and the quick respawns after fails, made it surprisingly delightful! Out of curiosity, was your original plan to have multiple possible destinations? I explored the world a bunch, and it seemed really fleshed out, despute so little of it actually "mattering" lol

I'm glad you enjoyed the bizarre movement! Fun story, the quick respawns are actually a bug that turned into a feature. The original plan was to have a longer ragdoll duration, but I enjoyed testing the game so much with the short timers that I forgot to lengthen them again. By the time I figured out they were still short, I realized the game played much better that way anyway.
As for the world, I honestly just used a map wholesale from the Unreal Marketplace. The goal was indeed to add more ways to interact with the world and places to visit, maybe modify the map a bit so it's not 100% a ripoff, but I had to keep the scope small to start. So there's a whole town there, most of which is not used... yet.
This is a really stupid game. I love it.
(made it to work with one second to spare, let's goooo)

Of Decks and DiceGood implementation of your idea. I was curious when I read the instructions how rolling every time you moved would work, but it felt wonky and fun rather than janky like I expected, so nice job

Strat Stat RollerThanks for the feedback on how well it ran for you! It's been interesting for me to see how it's been behaving on different computers; I've spoken to some people who said it was perfectly fine and others couldn't run it at all (granted, they were all using computers about a decade old). Something for me to keep in mind as I refine it in the future!
Fun idea. My old ass notebook could somehow barely run this and the motion blur made this painful to look at at times, but the environment is beautiful and the concept is interesting and creative.
