Code for picking up objects is now far more robust and bug free. And so I had time to start the angry donut logic where she runs to you to steal your object. This means that when she is angry, she wil...

Before I add more stuff, I need to ingest and digest the new logic into the codebase. There are lots of things that need to work with each other including a permissions system for handling if an anima...

It's never easy. Particularly because this eating logic added yet another level of complexity to the possibilities of what you can do with Shinobu combined with the other logic modules. My goal is to ...

Covered a lot of work this weekend. To start off, I implemented donuts. I built the donut as shown below:
In most games, including AAA titles, characters usually pick up objects in an unrealistic fashion. That is, the object either disappears/teleports to hands/or lerps towards their torso. I decide...
