Two things:
When I asked about Items I ment the more stable/later versions.
Two I would use the mouse if though movement was a little better >_>.

I prefer playing with keyboard, but maybe mouse is the way a game like this has to go.
Its crippled by the fact that its an online game, and that its made in GM, so really the faster option would be a needed compromsie for it being an online game.
You could try out: press a key, and the player keeps moving in that direction until another key is pressed.
If the opposite direction is pressed, the player stops: Press it again, move in opposite direction.
If up is pressed when already moving left, move up etc.
What i mean is like, pressing a key will add that kets value onto your speed on that keys axis, to a maximum of -S,+S, and of course, diagonal will be easy to detect, and the speed reduced accordingly.
It would be strange, but you could think about it? In addition, the numberpad could be an alternative option for thatl, where pressing '5' stops
motion whichever direction your going in.
On the other hand, mouse movement gives people the power to click where they want to go, and not just the direction they want to go in....hmph...

what about just releasing the key to stop moving and sends a stop moving message? but i guess in a way it stops so many messages being sent as the because of how the user would have to use the keys. but i tried this method before and late or missing messages may really screw it up but maybe i didnt do it well enough back then

I think it would be cool if you had both, where you switch between them if you want to use those.  A lot of people like both so you should try to see if you could do either.

Would using the keyboard cause lag on either end, or just for the person using it? Because a lot of the time my connection can be iffy when playing online games, so I want the best possible gameplay. If other people using the keyboard won't affect me then by all means go for it as long as I can still use the mouse.

Using keys will cause too much lag... When using a mouse, all the game has to send it what point your player is currenty heading towards. With keys, it has to send data every step. I know there's other ways to do it using keys, but they're not dependable...

using keys=messages having to be a sent a LOT more often = more traffice = lag pc and just net lag because of so much traffic. but if too little messages are sent, then they will look all jerky etc.

edit: sending those messages every step would just ve mental, so much lag lol, every few steps would be much better but still bad with lots of people because like 3 times less traffic and if you just make the player move to the position received it'l look fine

Yes, pretty much what I said.

Please AoDC, don't kill off this game by allowing key movements... >_>

So what! I wanna get out! 'Cos there's so much out there! So many different people, living different lives! Incredibly good guys, bad guys... Folks completely different from us! It's one huge melting pot! See, it's not about success, dying in the streets, who's better, who's not! I just want to be a part of it! I realized that even if I've no connections, no talent, even if I'm one big loser, I want to use my hands and feet to think and move, to shape my own life! We can just die here or we can try, see what we've got!

You missed a few test demos, july will be the next release.

Keyboard wins!

I will make it optional in-game, but itll still lag either way.

And the lag does not occur to your player, only others =)

Ill do as much to make it not lag as I can.

Thanks for the support.

Sorry dude. Looks like you missed all the fun we had in demo 0.7 ;D.

Oh well, AoDC, Weapon, Yue and I are hard at work for the next demo. I've already tiled one new area (which AoDC claims to be the prettiest yet) and I have one more to go (maybe some more if things change). Be patient ;).

yeah you wont see your own lag, but you will see the other players lag, which will effect the game and the gameplay and you indirectly. so you'll be still killing people after they killed you because of the lag etc etc which should bring up some nice ocmplaints :( unless people dont realise or you did it really well :D
edit: i'm betting soon someones gonna go "W00t 100 pages" :P
