The movement system PRO currently has is the best I have ever seen on touchscreen since. There was once a time my character kept on moving in the direction after I stopped holding(some kind of a one-time bug, couldnt reproduce it), but it actually felt good. So I got this idea...
Basically, swipe once in a direction and the character keeps moving in that direction untill either:
- swiped again to a direction, which changes the direction the character moves in.
- or tapped once on the screen, which makes the character stop movement(so quick touch on screen without swiping should make the character always stop movement)
Pros:
Probably performance increase? + less power consumption on smartphones?(not sure)
Relaxed gameplay.
We become more willing to move because the time consumed by movement is felt less than it actually is.
Cons:
- Easy to use this as anti-afk, solution: maybe limit the number of steps the character moves with a swipe.
- Becomes difficult to make 1-tile-movements maybe, basically less precise movement(like we start missing the right turn for the door to pokecenter), I think this needs testing to confirm.
