I was just exploring the non-DOTS version to see if it’s still applicable after several years without updates. Happy to report: it is! Thankfully I can just ditch the black-box that is CharacterController.

Then I started wondering what you’re up to these day, and whether you’re still working on the “Rival” DOTS version. Great to see this is still ongoing and congrats on the production-ready release!
