It's been a while.

Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs.

ive got this same thing for UI, because for some reason i get nasty hitches the first time certain (very simple) unity UI shows. but not if i just toggled it on for a frame when the game starts 🤷‍♂️

That's a war crime. How is the fact that this headline is openly describing a war crime not the headline. Israel is doing war crimes.

The Associated Press @apnews.com · Aug 12

Israel is in talks about possibly resettling Palestinians from the Gaza Strip in South Sudan. If implemented, the plans would amount to transferring people from one war-ravaged land at risk of famine to another.

i'd say my biggest cheat here is that the 'visual' body is always playing catch-up a tiny bit to the 'real' physics body, which gives me a bit o time to smooth out the worst physics jitters / apply some quite heavy interpolation

the physical body can def be quite jittery at high speeds on the joint
