I stress tested it with V-SYNC on. Keep in mind there is some compression from YouTube and maybe OBS which is what I used to record it. I could email you the direct video files instead if you feel like it will make a difference. The game feels good and I think the biggest quality of life improvement is the new targeting reticle which has significantly improved my gameplay I feel.

I'm not colorblind myself, but my only suggestion is you might want to make the target reticle a colorblind-friendly color if it isn't already. Here's a useful website. You also might want to add a photo-sensitivity warning when the game is booted up since it features a number of flashy light-based visual effects. Useful website for colorblind-friendly colors below.

Thanks for the video, looks pretty smooth. I guess the delays are probably a mix of the compression and OBS as you said. For example the reloading sound of the railgun stops before it fills up all the way and clicks, really small stuff like that, but again the game appears to be running fine. Glad the new targeting reticule also feels good to use, the old one really needed to be replaced.

When I eventually add a proper settings menu, I'll be sure to have a few options to tweak the colors of indicators and the reticules. I had hoped to have it in this build, but I ended up focusing my efforts on fixing bugs and adding extra details. Epilepsy warning may be needed as well, thanks.

Did you try using the alternate v-sync method by the way? Someone else tried this with the first build by changing the settings .ini and it moved the FPS cap to 144, though you may need to have another program to clamp it down 60 as it'll be running at twice the speed: https://itch.io/post/9847210

I haven't tried that. I might. Will record if I do.
