Spent ages tuning deceleration in my 3v3 shooter and it was the joystick ring the whole time (playgama.ai)

Movement in my little 3v3 top-down shooter felt sluggish so I kept lowering the deceleration, then raising it, then lowering it again

Turns out the virtual joystick ring just stayed where you first touched. If your thumb drifted past the edge the ring didn't move with it, so the direction kept lagging behind your thumb

Made the ring follow the finger and it felt right straight away

The annoying part is I'd already cut the trailer and screenshots and they looked just like the game I was using as reference. Then someone picked up the phone, played for a bit and said it still felt slow. Nobody had actually held both games and played them back to back
