Something about the movement

I've noticed that boosting towards a direction, either left or right, after going on the opposite forces you to move in an arc.  It's as if the change in direction isn't instant like how quickboosting in the AC games worked. Maybe i'm just missing out on a mechanic, but is this intended behavior? Like, a mechanic for the stability stat where sudden directional changes consume stability or something similar.

Yeah, dash enforces a minimum speed now. I've been trying to differentiate movement types so there's some situations you'd use one mode over another and vice versa, as well as making builds have more variety in their strengths.

If you want to change dash direction quickly, you'll have to use the Assault Pack and use the dash input again while dashing (chain dashing). Otherwise, jump or burst to change directions, then dash again to continue moving at speed.

On reviewing, it seems the dashForce variable wasn't being reset without the Assault Pack, so thanks for the heads up on that count! Expect a fix for it soon.
