I have thus defeated you with a very persuasive double experience ploy.

With your high ratings it looks like you deserve it. Good job.
The first two times I tried to play some thing went sideways and the game was a slideshow, just unplayable. The third time was the charm and I got to play several rounds.
It’s a fun game, well done. Keep evolving it to make it better.
I think in the last round I fell victim to the clipping issue. I managed to force myself behind some crates where I was next to impossible to see from the hallway they’re in, in the sci-fi map. I was watching the room and never saw the slasher, then I suddenly died. My arm may have been sticking into the next room over…
I hope to play some more later.

Hm, I think you might have been killed by the Fallen slasher, which is basically a weeping angel that skips around.

That could be it.
Maybe a quick cut to third person just as you’re killed would be informative.

Through my experiences from playing games, I’ve established a general rule of thumb I follow in my own games: the player is not allowed to die unless they know why. I’d love to go into detail, but I don’t want to turn the thread into a rant. In short, lots of random deaths from Skyrim mods, Warframe, and other games I played made me not so happy.

That’s a good rule, and I think I read it in some game design literature.
It’s basically a bad idea to punish the player for something they don’t understand or can’t know, such as random death. And it’s important that they feel they could have avoided said punishment through some action, this encourages them to try again and again rather than give up in frustration.
I like this idea a lot, I’m working on it currently
I think I found a clue as to why some people are having trouble getting in the game. 90% of the time I’ve entered the game with my computers audio muted (which I do because I’m in an office full of people) the frame rate goes to hell and I fall through the floor.
BUT once I plugged in my headphones and un-muted the machine I haven’t had it happen again. To test I just muted and re-entered and it happened, I un-muted and re-entered and it didn’t happen.
Have a look at your sound code, it may be the cause of some startup problems.
Muting the sound can have a negative impact on performance?
By itself it would not (and if it did we’d be hearing a lot of people talking about it). However, I don’t know for certain but it’s possible that when sound is muted some of the Sound objects properties are affected (such as IsPlaying and TimePosition) which could affect the logic of any sound code you have.
Try to reproduce it and see if it happens for you.
I muted my system audio and unplugged my speakers, didn’t notice a difference
my computer is pretty standard power wise
the only sound that uses TimePosition or any other property is the shop sound when you open/buy/close it
everything else just uses :Play() or :Stop()
I can’t join a friend because every server we join is full… Preferred players should be lower than max players.
Quick, @rachnera, put 3x experience
Then AxisAngle will have to put 4x, and so on.

I played it 2 rounds:
- The first round I was the grudge, a scary girl in the cementary.
I killed two people, after which leftclick didn’t attack anymore. (I blame that for my loss)
Nothing special in F9 except a warning “couldn’t set parent of camfix blablabla”.
(That thing where you destroy a script on the first tick it runs. you should wait() or Debris) - The second round someone was darth vader in a space-ish ship?
The last 4d I watched all first 5 SW episodes (now doing Episode VI), so fun coincidence.
Nothing special happened. (except I survived. Yeuy!)
(Oh and since I had a sparkles hat, I had to drop it because RIP camo)

cmon mannn it’s not just any space-ish ship.
I think I’m still the only person that hasn’t had that combo yet and that saddens me.
Definitly wasn’t that ship.
I saw that movie 3d ago, I know what I’m talking about for once 
(I just finished Episode VI after finishing probably my worst exam)
but but but, he built the map…
pic from earlier cause I’m too lazy to grab another one
…b-but it’s the only spaceship we have
