Improvement during the Moroccan Game Jam

I got out of my comfort zone, and changed character movement controller (character controller in Unity's terminology) to use the new *experimental* Unreal Engine Character Mover component .. and the NetworkPredictionPlugin .. improving the network prediction to compensate significantly for the server latency up in the range of 100ms-200ms and 5% packet loss which is the typical worst scenario that most games work on .. to make the game playable under such latency conditions.
As you can see on the video, the movement network prediction makes the latency under such harsh conditions .. almost non existent for the player .. making the movement just as smooth as minecraft under very bad latency conditions.
The video below showcases the comparison when using the old Character Movement Controller and after using the new experimental Mover Component
