Its not rly just beginner projects, countless twin sticks, action platformers, even shmups mindlessly add inertia. Hell RE4make was a disgusting inertiafest and a lot of devs of varying experiences are just copying that

Just saw another tutorial on movement which immediately recommended adding accelto make it "feel good". This is a plague. Ur movement doesnt feel good cuz u put 0 effort into animations & appendages (options, trails, hair, secondary action fodder), not because it's snappy. Lerpslop has to go

Yeah I did that all the time when learning because all the tutorials said so and I had zero firsthand knowledge lol. I wonder if the ubiquity of inertia in a lot of newer games is because of this too. It's baked right into the start of the new dev pipeline.

Yea, I wonder how much of this shit even nowadays is the result of ppl just slappy pre existing movement function on their characters and calling it a day. In fact I wonder if GnGR did that with whatever RE engine gives them cuz it has accel for literally no reason

I remember when Unity's Lerp function was misused by a lot of people because online tutorials was wrong about how to use it You ended with a curvy acceleration that never ended, and peoples were ok with that. I think they don't care, they are drawn to the macro concept of mecanics way more
