Parry and hit to send back projectiles. This feels good, but it's a bit lack luster in presentation. Maybe just a bright line along the trajectory instead of a dotted line?

Fast travel deluxe.
Now I just need to make sure you can't abuse it by leaving every tougher fight instantly. Weighing between a timed solution ("stand still for X seconds before travelling") or a "blocked while fighting" solution. Suggestions?

Help me out here. Trying to send a signed copy of Cathedral, from Sweden, to a fan in the US.
Postal service here has stopped sending to the US. Checked UPS: $35 in shipping, but nothing on customs.
Found a hand-wavy "$80-$200 per item based on COO". Really hoping that's wrong. But.. I guess not?

Finally got all the dynamic editing stuff up and running in my behaviour tree editor. Written in Rust using egui. The interactions were surprisingly tricky to get right as I had to write most of them from scratch. But it did turned out not-completely-shit, wouldn't you say?
