Ladders are another common game feature that tend to cause all sorts of animation and game state problems. AI on ladders can cause weird interactions with other systems like if, for example, [ the player starts a cinematic ]. We could let them clip through each other, but that often looks hideous.

A video autoplaying with recognizable gameplay is MUCH more compelling than a ‘cinematic’ shot or establishing shot, or something else which does not look like player controlled gameplay. It could even be one clip if there’s enough interesting stuff happening consistently.

Well, the storytelling is kind of sketchy and I was thinking I'm watching a clip in the form of a movie. Besides the fact that it's just incredibly beautiful and cinematic, the amount of light in this shot makes it clear to which emotional state the protagonist is. That's all for this week.
