I hope so too. Beau Blyth (combat designer) also worked on Samurai Gunn, I heard that was 30fps locked, too? How did that feel to players?

This is my main problem, not the number itself.
Samurai Gunn feels incredible to play. Haven't had the chance to play Hyper Light Drifter yet but I'm hoping it's on the level of Samurai Gunn.

ugh i'm missing THREE DIAMONDS and one of the weapons. This preview is surprisingly large; I think a lot of people would have missed things within that 2-3 day window. A month is more than adequate, though. Still wish they had included the co-op arena, but maybe we'll see that in the future prior to the release.

Interesting. I've just done a test with keyboard and mouse, and the result looks about the same, i.e. I can have a direction key pressed for two frames of video, and the character won't start moving until the third frame, at which point my finger has already lifted off the key.
I might email the devs and see what they think.
Yep! That's something I want to work on. The guys with the rifles are the most annoying so using the weapon while dashing their shots will take some getting used to.
This beta is FANTASTIC.
What a fucking amazing experience.
I did get an error while playing through a large arena room with over 5 waves of enemy spawns

It was nice to get the white cloak (on the last day lol)
I'm guessing some people might have figured this out, but I asked Heartmachinez on the Double Fine Day of the Devs twitch stream about why the choice for 30fps:
Turns out hand drawn animation at 60fps is not easy.

I guess I don't understand. Lots of hand animated 2D games run at 60 FPS even though the sprites themselves don't change animation frames that often.
This is honestly a big deal for an action game like this. The screen is constantly scrolling in all directions and it never stops feeling choppy and sluggish.
60 FPS should have been the first stretch goal. Worry about the billion ports after that's been sorted.

This gif destroys what you just said. That right there affects gameplay.
Edit: I admit that this gif is wrong. I just tested the game out of my fight stick on PC and I didn't experience any input latency on my monitor.

like i said in the other thread, slowing a gif down blows it waaaaay out of proportion. let's see it at 100% speed.
Well I just tested it myself on my monitor and there's nothing wrong. But if a game did have that much latency it would drive me nuts. That much input lag would destroy inputs for links in a game like Street Fighter IV.
