Gotcha 👌 so what happens when you fall into the water? Do you just kinda teleport back to land? I suppose that would help keep landing in water from being as big of punishment.

I don't know how one can make a better #LudumDare in 3 years because LD is not only a game jam website but a community built over 20 years. We made #d2jam website and it's slowly growing. You can say it's a BETTER website but making a better LD in 3 years is an interesting challenge! #gamejam

Interesting stuff, I haven't heard of or used the User Properties before. I can see how that would be useful for labeling whether an event should be occluded or not. I imagined you'd always manually decide which objects receive raycasting, but at scale, I can see this technique being more efficient.
