@gameengines.bsky.social Can I get the Unity label please? Thank you for creating and maintaining these btw!

Finally figured this one out; the IK is defined relative to the transform the Animator is on! I had some smoothing code that causes the camera (and body) to lag behind a little bit, so the animator being "above" that lag caused the mismatch in the IK... #gamedev #indiegame #fps #unity3d

Cell Sword, my comedy scifi shooter, is now available for the mostly harmless price of $8 on Steam and Itch. It's a love letter to Descent and I've tried to make it crazy and full of twists. Boosts appreciated! store.steampowered.com/app/3163320/... classyk.itch.io/cell-sword #6DOF

Shit's getting serious (they're playing Debussy at the Thai restaurant)

Hearing Sousa marches faintly through the window, I'm being haunted by a failing state

It's been a bit of a slow spring, but the flowers are finally waking up! I swear those horse radish flowers even smelled spicy

Saw one of these in a parking lot and now I want to model it...
