+Players disliked the old character controller, especially block climbing, so I shrimplemented the [Shrimple Character Controller](https://sbox.game/fish/scc)
+
+The first thing I focused on was block climbing. The faster you move, the faster you'll be able to climb blocks, so it's _less_ annoying when sprinting and not jarring when crouching. It also uses the same logic as step climbing, making it more reliable. Plus you'll be able to climb blocks even in mid-air, which means parkour noobs don't have to fear for their lives.

+Other than tweaking acceleration and jump, I was forced by our animator to make walking much slower compared to sprinting. If you have any complaints direct them to @Grodbert on Discord.
