It seems in competitive games with a healthy pro/esport community, balance is often different between the pro and casual levels. E.g. Class A tends to dominate Class B at the pro level, but Class B tends to dominate Class A at the casual level. If you try to make Class A relatively more powerful to make the experience better the majority of players, it will only exacerbate the imbalance among the minority of pros (which damages the health of the pro community). How do you prioritize/negotiate?

Ask a Game Dev

In such situations, it's important to figure out why professional players are able to realize so much more potential with a particular class/character/build/etc. while more casual players cannot. Generally, that means the additional performance must come from two things at the pro level - a high bar for execution (e.g. difficult timing or physical dexterity), and/or extraordinarily complex strategy that likely changes in real time (e.g. having a huge number of moves available at a given time and

Physics: Tween no effect on Collider?

Cocos

Physics: Tween no effect on Collider? Am I right concluding that Nodes animated via Tween have no effect on Colliders? Specifically I have a node A with a boxcollider2d and rigidbody (type:static) and boxcollider2d set as sensor. I have another node B with rigidbody (type:kinematic) and boxcollider. Physics used in settings: Box2D Scenario 1: Node A with Rigidbody (type: Static); BoxCollider2D set as sensor Node B with Rigidbody (type: Dynamic) => Node B falls into the sensor area of Node A.

Physics: Tween no effect on Collider?

Cocos

Every tile (dark brown) in the background is a sensor, sensing the diamond type whenever a diamond “touches” the tile’s collider. Instead of animating each diamond via tween I wanted physics do the job. So each diamond is sitting above another stone until the diamond below stops existing, in which case every diamond above is falling down to a hidden ground below the bottom tiles.

Attaching and activating MouseJoint2D on Ridged Bodies under the mouse

So anyone who needs this. As of 3.8.2, you can now manually call the.apply() function to force box2D to recalculate joints. An issue I found is that the dampening, max strength and restitution values seem to get extremely weak by a factor of 10 after using the.apply function. Gonna try to get a video to demo this.
