I'm working on networking.
Big brain energy needed. I've read and studied a lot about networking in FPS games throughout the years, but my own implementations so far have been rather unimpressive.
You think I can knock it out of he park this time around? I've been doing Liblast for 5 years now, this is the 4th from-the-ground-up iteration of the project. I hop I've learned my lesson by now...

I don’t have time to write up exactly how this relates to my problem, but iykyk. In the meantime I am trying to come up with a solution.
#GodotEngine #GameDev #GameMath
