I recorded playing games with commentary, and your game is one of them.

Here's the link to the whole DD50 folder:

My best memory of this game is watching people play it on a stream. I couldn't tell if the sole experience changed since last time I tried playing it.

The recent update was focused on reworking the netcode to improve the experience for laggy clients. Hoping to get some more content for solo players soon, though.

Thanks for playing and huge thanks for the recording!

That makes sense. I am going to check it out after you add more solo content

Developer

Sorry, I meant to reply some time ago after watching the recording, but must've closed the window without sending the message!

The main solo content in the game rn is playing the arena modes against bots. All the modes can be played with bots except for Survival and Boss battles (which are pve) and football.

Bot difficulty and number can be changed in the mode settings menu. Otherwise, a default number of bots are used according to the map size.

Thank you so much for sending me the recording; I now realize that the bots might not be clear since they are a relatively new addition. I'll highlight that feature more since it is the main part of the game for the foreseeable future.

Oh that makes sense. I recall reading the description of one or two arena modes saying it can also be played solo in the past, so I just assumed if there is no description like that written, then it is an online only mode.

I am not sure if the game is just not consistent in explaining that, or I confused myself with my past experience, but as you mentioned highlighting that information would be good.

I wish I had friends to play it with, this sort of game seems up my alley. Co-op? Goofy customization options? Overall weirdness? Yes please. I found that a lot of the customization options I was presented with almost immediately was overwhelming; I didn’t event want to really look through them. I didn’t think the UI was very intuitive or welcoming either – mostly I just wanted to ignore any text or menus that I saw because they felt… Maybe “dense” is the right word? I don’t know – there’s too much on-screen at once for my dumb brain to handle.
