I decided to give the 8-direction movement a try!
By try, I mean, it still only has 4 directions of animations even though you can move all 8 directions. So I'm seeing if people like it or think it looks odd that way.
Thanks for the feedback!
This feels waaaaay better to me.
I will most likely leave it in. I think it makes the art look a bit more odd walking diagonal but player experience is more important.
