oh no ground no-clipping D: that was an issue that was present since the start of the project, but a problem i didn’t know how to fix.
FOR ANYONE HAVING THIS ISSUE: before touching the ground, back up a little into the water and press W to launch yourself up while going to the right to jump over the shore. this is kind of another bug, but whatever. it’s a feature now B)
if you need a visual demostration of this, i also covered this exact same issue on the Game Playthrough yt video i have linked in the description. for anyone having issues like this, check out the video.
thanks for playing :)!
