Hi, I've been developing this game for the last few weeks, I need some feedback.
URL: http://diep.io/
It's an MMO arena, you basically just kill everyone you see and level up. Move with WASD, hold left mouse button to shoot.
There's a class tree, but it's not too big yet, there are only 11 classes, you advance at levels 15, 30, 45, 60 (if the class you're in can advance).
Please report any bugs you see, I'll be answering any questions on this thread. There are two servers, one in europe and one in the US, you'll automatically connect to the one with lowest latency.
Also, please bump the thread if you're playing it
the game stops me at level 11?
>>334446091
is the same person making all of these io games
i thought for sure agariostarted on /v/ but all the reddit pandering made me doubt that
>>334446423
What do you mean? The max level is 60
>>334446475
Not always, but in this very case, yes, And yes, agar.io started here. I'm the jew who made it. Now I need more shekels and cocaine.
Also please let me know if you experience any lag.
>>334446475
Nah, I think it really did start here, but like everything that's cool, reddit eventually sinks it's claws into it.
Dev just doubled-down on pandering to reddit once it became known
>>334446475
guy developed most of the .io games
uses /v/ playtest his shit
spams it on other websites when it gets more stable
then when it gets big he sells it for loademone and starts on the next web game
>>334446684
why yes I am
>>334446091
Are you the same jewish faggot behind agar?
>>334446590
did you make snek too or was that some other kike
good work by the way
i guess if you want your shit to get popular you have to pander to the lowest common denominator
>>334446829
Please see >>334446590
>>334446816
Is it lag or fps issues?
>>334446873
Agar.io was really good when it was exclusive to 4chan, it doesn't last long that way though, but those were the best days, since most nicks were funny and all. Unfortunately now it's pretty bad.
FUCK YOU ASDAS
gg 'nigger' your tank was more powerful
Definitely lag
>>334447153
there are four niggers including myself
its not as good as agai, sorry friendo
agar was original and fun, this is just a minimalist top down shooter with classes hamfisted in
It wont get big because LPers wont play it.
>>334446091
way too laggy to even be playable
Ok it seems that everyone froze and is moving in the same direction now? Fuck
>>334447153
Im the shotgun nigger
>>334446091
RIP server?
This is fun but it suddenly got really laggy. Good on you for making your own game OP.
>>334447536
Yes, and I was wrecking niggers. Shame on you.
i think the server blew up ;_; that was fast
>>334446091
Got to level 16, lost control of my guy, drifting towards the northwest without stopping, no response to my controls, can't fire. Also, just exited the boundary
Getting a bit of lag, not sure if bug or not though but at level 11 I can no longer control my character. Maybe has to do with adding points to reload speed?
>>334447583
Same i'm 13 though, I'ma Das.
>>334447583
Me again, if you are here 'Wolf', uh, hi.
>>334447608
I got it when i invested in bulet speed.
Is the server dying?
I suddenly starting flying sideways at a million miles an hour, I assume the servers died?
>>334446091
Add Nazi flag
The one thing that I hate about .io sites, in particular agar.io and slither.io , is that you can't have nazi flag!
Game seems to be down at the moment? Me and mates, lots of lag can't control character
stuck in auto-coast repeatedly shooting in one direction
I've been stuck moving northwest and shooting in the same direction for like a minute now....
Just randomly losing control of my guy
Stuck on a screen that says connecting right now...
Lag is pretty bad. My tank locked up, going in the same direction and shooting.
>>334447737
Seems that way
>>334447757
Also I don't mean to imply I'm nazi only or anything
Just add any offensive flag you can find. Including stuff /pol/ doesn't like, such as gay flag or reddit flag.
Well it was fun while it lasted. I'd play it again once you fix whatever problems are going on.
>>334447682
>>334447583
also happened to me
>>334447801
same haha, refreshed page and it's fucked now.
Connecting...
>>334446091
Fuck you.
You sold out, and then deleted your actually fun games, while leaving that laggy piece of shit agar up.
We ain't helping your out.
>>334446091
got stuck moving up and to the right and shooting nonstop without being able to change direction. No idea how to repro, sorry
TANK STUCK
>>334446091
It just turns into a game of who gets randomly flanked first. Not as good as the other ios
Awful lag, didn't see anyone else, killed a lot of AI shapes. It got really bad after I upgraded the tank to two gun barrels and I had ~10 projectiles on screen at all times.
Eventually a swarm of pink triangles came, they started pushing me, it seems I lost control of the tank, I couldn't move and it kept firing in the same direction despite me lifting LMB and turning around. I closed the tab.
some nigger with double cannons just spraying everywhere
HOW CAN WE COMPETE
>>334447887
Good thing you acquitted yourself of that on an anonymous meatpacking chalkboard.
I can't seem to connect, anyone else having this problem?
>>334447969thats me
>>334446990
>doesn't even answer the question
Did you make slither or not?
>>334447935
I managed to kill some fag without using upgrades so i'm pretty happy, but then it got out of control.
Stuck on connecting
>>334448032
I cant connect either pham
>>334447969
You can get that at level 15. That being said, seems like his server crapped itself
just says connecting and never loads.
>>334448040
kaffir, hope you die
I'll start using a trip, I'm working on the server issues. It seems that something caused one server to stop processing user input. I'll be answering questions shortly. If it says the arena you're in is closed, it means the server has updated so you're on an outdated server.
>>334447969
>double cannons
The plebs' go to weapon. Ttrue vets go ass cannon.

I begrudgingly refreshed the page and it's doing >>334448162
>>334448186
Damage and movement speed of course, assuming you're gud.
Bullet penetration makes bullets continue after they hit something.
>>334448082
geez louise t.b.h.
already too tired to playing games, so what i did is play io games while shitposting on /v/. im unblock ads on io gaems tor your shekles.

Did OP die along with his servers?
>>334448282
why not just up reload speed
since 1 bullet always cancels 1 bullet
just fire a mist of bullets

Something about this post seems off.

On it. I think I put too many players per server so it's not being able to keep up. I just pushed an update with a fix. Please refresh the page

So much fucking lag. all of these games have so much lag.
>>334449213
That's what you get when you run a MP server off a guy's dank basement.
EVERYBODY FUCKING CLUSTERED AROUND ME SUDDENLY WHAT THE FUUUUUUCK
this is new meme game
>>334446091
Good game.
Keep working on it and it could be the next agar.io
>>334449418
>tfw agar.io is the new definition of success
I added 2 more server regions, now we have servers in: atlanta, frankfurt, fremont & newark. Should minimize latency for most people while I work on everything that might be causing lag.
>>334446091
For some reason, theres only me on the server i'm playing. Are you sure there only two servers?
Dunno if it's been reported yet, but whatever.
>BUG: Stat bars glitch the fuck out, and only two unlabeled bars appear normally
>>334449678
Right now there are ~7ish servers. I just added a bunch so that might be the reason you aren't seeing many people yet.

Also is this your first online base game or did you make cursors and the ship game?

Also, does it say the arena is closed? If it is, just refresh the page to get into a server that's not closed.

Come up with proper monetization instead of selling the players' personal data to malicious entities. It's despicable.
>>334450056
>implying you can get money through google analytics
>>334449940
>>334449809
Alright, here you go.
It looks kinda shit because I used low framerate or something, so bare with me.
>>334450147
That's weird. Did you interact with it in any way before that happened? Was it ever like that? What browser are you using? Are you able to reproduce it in another browser?
In most fights the person who is losing just runs away and nothing ever happens.
I think there needs to be a way to force people to stay in fights or the game is just shooting blocks to level up.
>>334450229
You need to overpower them by quite a bit to kill them at the moment, that's true. I'm still thinking on how to solve this, while still allowing players who are too low level for a high level player to escape...
Please keep sending feedback, I'll be reading it all.
REMINDER TO MAKE BULLETS NOT COLLIDE WITH OTHER BULLETS
>>334450220
>Did you interact with it in any way before that happened?
All I did was level up, and that shit happened.
>Was it ever like that?
It happened every time I leveled up after dying.
>What browser are you using?
Chrome.
>Are you able to reproduce it in another browser?
I'll try in firefox, gimme a sec.
>>334446091
Nice try kikebergstein
Not falling for your shit unless you bring nazi flags back.
>>334450334
If this game gets skins, it will have a nazi flag and a greedy merchant nose.
>>334450106
Either way, it spies on your users
Avoid it if possible
>>334450220
>>334450147
It's like this for me too. It was like that from the start so I didn't realize until I was like level 11 or something that I actually had points to invest in stats. It's not just that it's hard as fuck to see the stat bars, it's also really hard to click on them and level up like this even if you hover over where the + icon should be so it's almost random what stats I end up with
>>334450297
Or make bullet penetration work on anything but the yellow cubes
What a worthless fucking stat
>>334450309
>>334450220
Alright, on Firefox, it seems to work normally.
Although it kept flickering to the "Loading..." screen for a while at first.
>>334450482
It works on the red at 2 and also on bullets, but I haven't seen it work on the blue ones.
>>334446091

Do not give money to this brazilian kik.
>>334450482
I was being a sniper tank. Ran into a scrap with a machine gun tank, but survived. Couldn't land a single hit. Spent the next 5 upgrades building up penetration. Shit could sail through a whole field of yellow squards and red triangle. Find the same machine gun tank aaaaand.... fuck.
Srsly, OP. This is pretty fun and has potential.
>>334450492
The + are way too big on firefox, that's weird... Anyways, thanks for the report, I'll look into it. By the way, performance in chrome is the best one, followed by Edge. Unfortunately firefox seems to have some fps issues with the game.
Here's an explanation of penetration:
A bullet is just like an enemy, but faster. It has a health, and a damage it deals on touch. Players also have that. When a bullet hits an entity, it damages the entity, and the entity damages the bullet. Bullet penetration increases the bullet health, making it able to maybe withstand that damage, and not die. To counter bullet penetration, you need a bit of body damage.
>>334450482
>>334450519
It works on everything.
Fuck you memes.
Pretty fun
>>334450713
How much bullet penetration is required for your bullets to get past someone elses unleveled bullets, and also wtf does body damage do
Posted on /r/gaming so we can have more friends join us :)
>>334450713
what a pointless mechanic.
>>334450930
Increases the amount of damage your body does to other entities on impact. You could try building a tank that focuses on crashing on others to kill them.
>>334450949
It's just how it's coded.
>>334450939
ebin :^)
what is the full class tree? I haven't made it past level 20
>>334451006
FUCK YOU DOUBLE TEAMING ASSHOLES
>>334446091
Got to lvl 33 before I quit. The stat upgrades were boring because you don't feel like you're upgrading. And the xp grind is tedious. For the rest it's an enjoyable game.
I can't even fucking shoot.
>>334451032
>>334451006
didnt mean to reply
>>334451006
There are 11 classes at the moment, some paths might lead to the same tank. For example, the one on the left you might find on level 45 or 60, depending on the path you took.
fuck you senpai, I wasn't done fighting
The lag makes this borderline unplayable, but it's pretty fun
>>334451169
Put a leader board for kill counts
Leveling should be a lot faster from 1-20, you could scale it off from there.
you need crowd control, an ability to stun or slowdown the enemy and an escape like a dash, make them share the same cooldown/resource and you get some semblance of depth in the combat.
Small question, but shouldn't the strength of the "NPC" shapes be based on number of sides?
Like, instead of it being Square-Triangle-Pentagon, instead make it Triangle-Square-Pentagon
>>334451343
I know, but I kinda like the way it is now
>>334451265
There's all those 'empty' levels where you don't get a skill point.
Why even have them at all? Condense the levels into just ones that give you a skill or class upgrade.
>>334451169
Have thought about adding a dark theme?
>>334451231
Working on it
>>334451169
So are you going to make a class tree or am I going to have to wait for someone else to do it? I know I'm not gonna spend hours grinding it out.
>>334451446
I'm planning to add one or two attributes, then make those levels give a skill point
>>334446091
>http://diep.io/
man this isnt fun
How do you get health back? Is body damage good?
fleeing is too easy because everybody's slow on the offensive. I don't think I could ever die unless I kill myself on purpose
OP can you try to add some sort of spawning protection for new player spawns so they dont get raped on entry. something like 30secs to a minute to allow the player to move around and get their shit together
>>334451492
I haven't really finished working on it yet, and I'm code shit as we speak, so I don't really have a lot of time...
It's interesting but way to slow, one of the things I enjoyed about agar slither and other web games is it is a fun way to spend 10 minutes waiting for something else to finish, leveling after 10 just takes too long.
To the guy named tank. You were a true hero
make every level give you a point to spend, this shit gets boring quick when you level up twice and nothing happens. Also more bullets>strong bullets so maybe balance it a bit. I have a pretty high level sniper with high damage but just because the guy had a shitty bullet spammer I couldn't get to him. He was basically invincible.
>>334451602
>get to level 15
>put everything into body damage and health upgrades
>have to deal with damage from touching them along with getting shot
>can't keep up with them unless you're shooting away from them to give yourself a boost
It ain't worth it,
>>334446091
Please have a radar. It's so lonely and quiet here.
I need more hexagons to shoot.
>>334451684
I died doing what I loved, getting killed. Spin your cannon in a circle for me.
>>334451637
When is it not going to run like shit?
You must feed me Wewuz Kangs
>>334451714
If you go that tank that has a cannon in the back, then the one that uses cannons to move, you can crash into people pretty easily. Not all stats are viable for all tank types.
>Name my tank BLACKED
>Go full Sniper build
>Smiting little bitches with my massive dong
>Eventually get cornered by three Machine Gun tanks
I got to level 27 before I got taken out, that was fun. Does Bullet Penetration even work on other people's bullets? I had 5 points in it and it didn't do shit. I had to rely on my high Bullet Speed to sneak shots between their spray.
pls give me faster ways to level up past 30, this shit takes five ever
OP this is cool bruh. Good work.
>>334446091
This game has potential. It reminds me of realm of the mad god. I can see it having field bosses that spam shitloads of bullets and missiles at players.
I'm so sorry Judith
>>334452062
Damn I remember that game. That game was pretty fucking neat.
When everyone in the world got teleported to final boss, that shit was nuts.

We need another fantasy game like that.
>>334452151
Got to level 30, no class up. You gotta map to this sorta thing?
Next update should be out within 30 minutes, it'll add a scoreboard with number of kills.
>>334452150
Gimme all your shekels
>>334452151

>>334452212
Some classes don't have a lvl 30 upgrade yet, unfortunately. Like the sniper.
>>334452151
Turrets that fire at nearby players
>>334452293
Gotcha. And I recommend swapping the squares and triangles in terms of purpose and XP value. Go with a theme where more sides= more xp, allows you room to add new shapes in the future, or something.
>/v/ keeps falling for the .io games meme
Op please, consider that currently its always better to run from a fight than to engage in one because of the terrible reward and the recoil from firing.
Either give us an upgrade to decrease recoil orincrease recoil so we can speed ourselves up by shooting behind
>>334451942
It doesnt seem like it goes through enemy bullets, but it should

Pacman shapes.
>>334452151
Dudes with spikes who charge at you
Maybe make it so that their spike(s) also blocks bullets or something, so you have to try and get behind them to deal damage
Please remove bullets giving you momentum
It's been fun boys, but I'm headin' back to Dank Souls.

Bring Voar.io back
>>334451169
whaaaat the fuuuuck is that thiiiiiiing
>>334452845
This.
>>334452646
oops, I got you?
but I already killed by sniper, sorry!
There's literally nothing you can do if you're confronted by more firepower than you have unless you're faster.
I had two tanks chasing me, one with bullets fast enough to hit me which I was gunning down, another with bullets too slow which I was running away from, and I of course couldn't do anything about the third tank.
Also, this game is stupidly stingy with health.
>>334452845
Cursors was more fun
Got to 35 as a tank, was Van Darkholme
Levelling got too slow so I stopped because levelling was so slow and getting an upgrade every 3 levels was just nah
here are my thoughts:
So when you fire bullets, you get pushed back per bullet the speed of the bullet
This means that engaging doesn't really work
You can fire at someone a few times, but then they can disengage mad easy because if they face their attacker and fire while running away they cover their asses and move hella fast because of movespeed+recoil
while the recoil on the shooter prevents them from attacking and moving, so they can only give chase via using their bullets to propel them, so they cannot actually catch to attack and then attack, because the prey will get away again.
Hell with max reload, 2 in movespeed, 3 in moveshot, and the level 30 triple straight cannon upgrade I could barely move forward while shooting.
So basically there's no real combat between other players once they're past like level 5. There will be a few shots until someone gets chased off, but real combat and people dying doesn't really happen after you're level 5~.
However there is one thing that this does very well.
It makes you feel like a predator.
Like a natural one that you'd see on the discovery channel.
You go around hunting prey (large groups of triangles/squares and the delicious blue pentagons)
And you protect your prey from other players, by chasing them with some shots, but you don't kill because it's not worth it.
And finding a group of pentagons and then chasing some players off it does feel good.
>>334446091
required google analytics to even load? fuck off
>>334451032
I took part in it because of your nameI was the killer
>>334452958
High level players move slower. You can also build movement speed if you're worried. A lvl 30 player maxed out in movement speed is still not as fast as a lvl 1 player.
>get to edge of map chasing Jebin

>>334452967
cursors can still be played but Voar is gone
>>334453001

WHO IS THIS FUCKING NIGGER FIRING FROM WAY OFF SCREEN AND ONE SHOTTING MY SHITTY LEVEL 1 JUST STARTED TANK
boring game
fuck off back to read it
btw, care to share what library or framework you use?
last time I try to code multiplay game made me want to flip the table
>>334453020
But I though /v/ loved redditgg anon
this game sucks
>/v/ is going to make this game popular so OP can sell it to Miniclip like agar.io
Christ we're pathetic.
>>334453001
Loads for me without allowing it. He should really get rid of that shit though.
There should be an r9k mode to the names. I think it'd be interesting being unable to re-use your name when you die.
why is leveling so fucking slow
it takes an hour just to get the second fucking class upgrade
holy fuck
>>334446091
shit game, upgrading movement doesnt do anything.
>>334453031
>>334453083
I increased the timer to 2 hours for the next updates.
>>334453335
It does, perhaps a bit too little.
>>334453306
I'm increasing it in the scoreboard update in less than 30 minutes.
>>334453029
that is a terrible idea
do not do that
it just makes combat between players even less feasible
>Dumped all my stats into Damage and go Sniper
>Hit 27
>Snipe retards left and right as Beta
>Get one-shot by a guy who only took a quarter of his HP and was also a T2 Sniper
The fuck.
Also, question about Penetration mechanics.
>Penetration causes your shots to pierce one entity
>It doesn't penetrate bullets or thick entities
>It doesn't deal double or more damage to thick entities
Why? It's literally a trash stat for farming squares and triangles.
>>334453273
our love of vidya is our greatness weakness
Incentive to kill other tanks needs to be way higher than it is now. As it is, I don't even care about the others if they just give me shit experience for too much trouble
>>334453387
How much extra health do you get for each upgrade?
All the stats could use a tweaking. In general, they should be more extreme in their effect.
>>334453482
I think 3 or 4, for reference, you start with 30.
>>334446091
FUCK YOU. I was having fun then i got stuck and can only shoot in one position again. Never paklying your game again worthless faggot.
Too slow paced to be interesting. Felt tedious farming, fights felt unfair (both ways), not my cup of tea.
What are you using to make this OP?
I was shooting and then I couldn't stop moving or shooting or control my tank and I had to refresh
gb2 reddit with this shitty game
>>334453518
True. Since I never played it with many people before, I didn't know what to put, so I just put what felt right.
>>334453029
>High level players move slower.
Fucking WHY?
If you say it's for letting low-leveled players be able to deal with higher-leveled players, just make it so that you can't PvP with players who have ~10 less levels than you, or make it so that you can't do PvP until you reach level 11 or something like that.
Don't make shit slower than it already is.

This, you only move fast when you are retreating
As it is, it's basically impossible for players to fight

Did the game just update so piercing goes through bullets now or am I missing something?

Reload Speed is pretty on-point
Movement buffs feel awful.
Penetration needs a rework.
>Always penetrates enemies, penetrates projectiles, losing 1 Penetration with each projectile
The always penetrates is mostly those fucking Hexagons and other players.
This reminds me that Realm of the Mad God used to be so cool
i'm not having fun OP
>>334453765
Some Private Servers retain that feel.
Also, levelling in this feels painfully slow.
A tweak to the barrel of Sniper would be nice too.

What button?
I don't think the method of engagement is as fun in this as agar.io and slither.io. I feel like you strafe while firing at each other until someone manages a better angle to get a few hits, then the opponent changes his strafe and the encounter restarts. It takes long and isn't as tense.
Maybe there should be a short melee attack that can destroy bullets and let players close distance. But it needs to be balance in a way that doesn't render bullets useless and turns it into a melee fest.
Make the melee a very thin short poke. This allows skilled players to intercept incoming shots quicker and be aggresive. But make the melee thin enough that it requires a high amounts of precision, that way the player getting rushed by melee can mix his opponent up by shooting at his sides.

Hold M1 idiot
shit game
RIP server
>>334446091
Worst agar yet.
>>334453917
There is a melee attack.
Too fucking slow.
>Jumps from Upgrade once every level to once every 3 levels with no real warning
At least stagger that to 2 for like, 6 levels.
How many points do you end up with at max level?
>>334454109
The melee attack is you bumping into things to damage yourself and maybe the thing you collide with a bit more than yourself, it's completely worthless as is.
>>334454109
Wat how do it?
>>334454203
>3 levels in it one-shots anyone who didn't put any points into defense
I was expecting a pvp bullet hell
this is too boring, not tense enough
>>334454109
I don't want melee to be for attacking each other. I want it to be there so people can make plays and be more aggressive.
Slither and agar both have a special move that lets you make plays like splitting or boosting. This game needs that
Needs more explosions!
And chaos in general. Bigger shapes should break into smaller shapes, enemies falling apart into shapes you can shoot as well. And stuff like that.
Also, managing your stats in the heat of battle is a bit annoying this way. Maybe place smaller buttons right below your character upon lvl up and leave just the info on what button upgrades what in the bottom left corner.
