Made a rain cylinder effect (reducing the need for particles), and a tutorial explaining the process in broad terms (Unity, HDRP): https://t.co/XqnHulTzHj

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.

I got some feedback of the caracters looking too "cute" (or goofy was the exact word). There's some intentional goofiness for sure, but maybe the character style clashes too much with conventions of the stealth genre. I did an experimental paintover.

Grappling hook + timing = successful entrance

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.
