Netcode

So let me sum up what we've discussed today.

Netcode is a decision based on the game type and not necessarily a technical one.

The game you're building decides whether you delay your inputs, rewind time, or show players the pass.

And it's jitter, not latency, which pulls the players out of sync.

Like, like, if you just look at the sheer size of the community, sheer size of, like, the player base, it's just not realistic.

Um, so, you know, granted, we've had our, you know, talks about, like, what we thought the faults were for 2X i- in terms of, like, a development time, the timing as to the idea of then versus now, right? NetCode is different.

Uh, the, the, the hunger for tag fighters is, is kinda different.

Um, even the simple design, right? The big thing was, like, you know, simple inputs and such.

Mm-hmm

... and because of that, it became too difficult for us to implement native rollback netcode, which is, like, the premier- ... of NetCode at the time, uh, for now even, for fighting games, because a lot of the systems that Unity provides are not suitable for it.

Mm.

You kind of have to make a lot of custom stuff.
