Found a dumb way of making dynamic cables using verlet integration. Since it's just a bunch of points and particles I just limit the Y position to the same value as the floor - and stop the XZ until its raised above it. It just.. works? Work smarter not harder #gamedev

also made some minor tweakable adjustments to our 2D shadow tool. It now "bakes" the shadows unless the light actually has to move in the scene so the performance cost will be basically 0 in game even if we light thousands of objects!
