Honey, I shrunk the employees!

In this more than cosmetic Lethal Company mod, players can experience the game from a new perspective. The pros and cons of being small are many, and unique interactions are yet to be discovered...

Configuration

client-sided options are marked with a *, others will by synced with the host.

Known bugs

• HoardingBug not grabbing players (at least for us..)
• Shrinkray floats above the ground when dropped
• Weight of held players not updating
• Jetpack offset for shrunken players
• Collision detection when holding players not accurate enough
• Held players mask (visor) is in the view

Planned

• [ ] Throw players
• [ ] Animations for holding / throwing players
• [ ] Improved ray sfx & fx
• [ ] Item slot icon for held player
• [ ] Make sandworms unlikely targeting shrunken players
• [ ] Controller support for enlarging
• [ ] Shrink/Enlarge items & enemies
• [ ] Laser pointer to target players
• [ ] Reduce camera-shake for held players
