I'm not going to do a global political analysis right now. I am going to tell you that I'm just old enough to remember the last time we had this same stupid fucking war, and tell anyone under 30: Do not enlist in the military. They will ruin your life and they do not care. Please don't do it.

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
