it's so worth it, imagine the pain icecream must have felt getting stuck on doorframes

thank you! we recently handmade a font for the title (in a sort of sneaky way), glad it was worth it :p

it pulls back, we had to put a bunch of work into that as well, maybe we should make a post about how that finally enabled us to have indoor spaces

if you pause at like, 0:09s, you can see what all the vectors represent by color in the top-left! it's probably too much to describe in a bsky post, but broadly, each cluster of lines is one frame showing the character's current tangent along the wall, the speed being added along that tangent, &c.

hehe us too :p the first one where everything is enabled is a bit of a joke for the video. it's a tagged system, so we can toggle subsets of drawings for the character's core physics, how it interacts with surfaces, how the hips / feet move during the walk cycle, and so on.

haha, i can't imagine that! we've made some quality-of-life changes recently to make things a bit more consistent, excited for you to try again =)

yes! we showed an old version of this game at syzygy in 2023, and also a more recent version this year.
