Original Post — Direct link

Anyone else freak out the first time their game automatically got remade a few minutes in due to a player caught cheating?

My screen began to fade out and a dark box with what (I assumed) to be red fade popped up and said the game was being remade due to a cheater detected. I was DuoQ with a friend and immediately freaked out thinking I got banned for some reason.

On one hand I love how dark and ominous it is but maybe do a less horror themed way to remake the game like this. It felt like The Terminator target acquired me for a ban even though it was someone else.

For context I don’t script, boost, or anything like that which is why it felt so jarring the first time.

Fun fact:

Early in development we had a concept art pitch where it would do the chains from urgots ult kill animation. We scrapped it for exactly this reason (it was too scary to play for people who weren't being caught cheating)

Atleast use that for the cheater, give them a well deserved reaction

That was pitched too, but we didn't really want to spend time on cool animations that would only be seen by cheaters. Better to spend those calories on the players who aren't cheating.
