Inspired by Silent Hill f and its naginata-based wall-avoidance mechanics, Rain Munoz set himself a personal challenge: to build a system that adds a bit more difficulty than being unarmed.

The foundation of the system is the Unreal Engine 5.7's GASP setup, currently relying on live retargeting. However, he aims to rebuild Mover from the ground up on the hero skeleton, allowing for 1-to-1 animation alignment. Also, in the Spirit of Silent Hill f, the next step is to get a schoolgirl model and "really change the reactions to someone not quite honed on how to maneuver themselves with this weapon".
