• Developer Q&A: Programmer Edition - 27 April 2026

  An Interview with the Development Team Behind OCTOPinbs【Developer Q&A: Programmer Edition】We’re pleased to share another Q&A-style interview with the development staff at Tri-Ace, the creators of OCTOPinbs.In this Programmer Edition, we dive into the technical challenges behind fast-paced multiplayer action, networking, performance optimization, and game feel.Q1. In a Steam multiplayer social deduction game like this, where “revealing identities through action” is a core feature, latency can be fatal. What measures did you take to maintain fairness in moment-to-moment encounters and action detection? For our network architecture, OCTOPinbs uses a peer-to-peer (P2P) connection model. By not relying on dedicated servers, we’re able to minimize latency between players.In addition, we utilize relay networks to ensure stable P2P connections regardless of players’ geographic locations.

The characters in this game have a very bright, friendly, and pop-style design. What was the intention behind choosing this visual direction, and what was the core concept?Since this game revolves around fire, we wanted to avoid letting the inherent fear of the theme become too strong. That’s why we chose an overall visual style that feels pop and approachable.Also, because OCTOPinbs is designed as a multiplayer experience, we felt that characters with smaller, more deformed proportions work better than realistic, tall characters. They create a sense…
