I like that you can use it to extend your movement (jump and place rubble below), but it looks like it largely adds a large amount of busywork, which were the interactions I liked least in the demo (collecting old ropes dangling from the ceiling required a lot of backtracking)

Imagine a world with GDscript traits, where you could add an inheritable trait to any resource 🥲

Would you do this for tools eg. Asset forge too?

If cave ins are clearly avoidable/obviously player fault, being completely trapped in a 1x1 tile could cause suffocation?

Ah I see, it seems to happen when moving the camera while zoomed in or out by any amount. (No issue at 100% zoom?) I have to assume this is the result of some floating point error affecting the very sensitive random() function. Rounding the input (therefore rounding off the error) fixes it for me.

As for cheating to get them, I typically think it's up to the player if they want to cheat, especially for singleplayer games

I'm happy with timed unlocks when the time period is broad enough (exclusive Christmas day ones bother me particularly) and when you can get another chance to get them if you miss them the first time

Oh my bad it totally was mentioned but here's an example snippet anyway ^

I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned, but you can indeed get the object position in a canvas shader to use in the offset calculation, no uniforms required! This does the trick for pure randomisation from position:

What was the problem in the end?

Massive fan of the dynamite rat, though I suspect that will only last as long as I manage to avoid getting blown to pieces by them
