Nidhogg

So they updated the game with some bugfixes and NEW MULTIPLAYER NETCODE.

(http://steamcommunity.com/games/94400/announcements/detail/132079969537760160) messhof writing is worth checking, all the people shouting out how bad Nidhogg netcode was didn't affect him so much, in the sense of press/communication that's been slightly hidden: "We really appreciate your patience during this process". His last activiy is interesting, not only he improved Nidhogg but also posted a trailer of his soon to be released yet succesfully crowdfunded in 2009 Flywrench, a game that has reported really bad critics to him as a game dev/publisher from the people that funded it, as he apparently disappeared after his project got the money).

I feel skeptical towards it, but first impressions were not so bad, in a match with a guy having both around 170 ping so prolly not european. Now you can do those tricky moves you couldn't (those that were triggered just by tapping fast once or twice movement keys) but sometimes the fps drops and it feels a bit like slowmo, but I believe that happened because of the pings we had (you can see the pings now at the matchmaking window, below the chatbox just right before a match).

I'll be giving this a try again, online mainly, so if any of you is on we can arrange matches. There's plenty of "matchz making thr3ad omg" threads at the steam forums, whoever is interested go check it.

After all, when online works good, it's so so good, it's a mental game.
