This update is all about new character locomotion and various quality of life improvements to some interaction elements. This means most of the characters animations and movement has been reworked. These changes come with new modes of movement such as crouching, plus the ability to enter a ragdoll state when falling from a height. There is also more fluid animation changes on existing grounded movement states.

Notably as a result of some of these changes we’ve reworked how dances and ground sits are handled. Now these all fall under a single category of “Emotes” and you can pick 5 of the various subtypes that you can pin to the radial menu and newly added hotkeys (6-0) to trigger each. These can be changed in the Character customization menu under options tab. The reason for these changes as it frees up UI space and simplifies the triggering of them, it also allows us to add more to the game where there wouldn’t have previously been the UI space to select them (theres two new dances added in this update, but stay tuned for additional emotes being added over future updates and general improvements to the handling of this).
