I'm *pretty sure* it's ready to release, but I'm gonna sit on it for another day or two in case I remember anything. Ledge grabbing is something I've had in mind, but I don't think that's relevant in most 2D platformers, so while I might implement it, I would likely wait until it's explicitly requested and do it for the next version.

Of course, there are signals for basically every event that the player could cause. This is to make it easy for you to drive animations, sound effects, and particle effects via the player controller without needing to write more code (very nice for prototyping and non-code-oriented developers).

Wall jumping is enabled, again, by providing a Resource with jump data (this can also be the same as your normal jump data). You also specify some ratios to define the feel of wall jumping.

Wall sliding can also be enabled by decreasing its "Terminal Velocity Ratio" to a lower value (I've found 0.2 works well).

Everything is fully documented with examples, if you're ever unsure of what something means.

Left, right, and jump inputs are selected from a dropdown which pulls from the ProjectSettings' input map. All of these and a general "Floor Coyote Time" have a configurable buffer size which lets the player buffer a given input before it's permitted to trigger it on the first possible frame.

Users can specify their own custom inputs and buffer windows as well for adding additional actions (eg: dodging, dashing, attacking).

Here's an example of the inspector. All the grouped chunks of data (like horizontal movement or jumping) are put in custom Resource types, so a user could easily define different styles of movement (eg: running, walking, and crouched) and switch between them from their own script.

Double jumping is enabled by giving "Aerial Jump Data" one entry. triple jumping by giving it two entries, etc. The same Resource can be used multiple times to keep all jumps feeling the same.

I want executive to have at least a bit understanding on why we are making and enjoying these games at all.

If the understanding is barely, whatever capture the player's attention for the longest time so that it has maximum potential for longterm monetization.

Then it is no longer the culture I enjoy.

Like I look at why EA put out The Sims 1 on Steam, and why Apple want Rollercoaster Tycoon on Arcade.

Those are very understandable business decision to make.

But back in the 2000s, they are not the only priority.

Now they are. Games are just a vehicle for profit. It has little value beyond that to management.

They are just, Content, to monetize on.
