Grappling hook + timing = successful entrance

Prisoners getting moved below deck after a successful boarding. (featuring AI moving in a rocking ship, which I've banged my head against a wall for a while trying to do)

Since the game's EA launch half a year, I've been focusing a lot on optimization. I made a post describing some methods I've used and showing the progress I've made: https://gustofwindgame.com/blog/?p=184

A new face in Gust of Wind.

Crusher's favorite hobby is to think of new iron stuff to wrap himself in.

When the character falls on a very slanted surface, it switches to fall with physics. I had this before too, but yesterday did some big improvements on how it looks (adding its own animation and adjusting the transitions, physics collider and camera).

I tried a hood on the character. I don't know what I'll do yet but I'm mostly leaning towards the original look.

A short clip showing the reckless fighting style of Gust Of Wind's AI. Guard wakes up another enemy and regrets it soon after.

A thick morning haze in Gust of Wind, consisting of volumetric clouds (new in Unity 2021.2 beta), and some fog particles and volumetric fog.

Spending my effort on the things that matter in Gust of Wind

Physics based hand operated crane that can be used to open gratings. I've been working to get this to work more reliably. Still a bit janky but getting there.
