But does it? I don't know how the renderer is coded, so no way to actually know. (Shouldn't actually, as it would just be a matter of Y positioning of the model with a particle effect for the water sloshing around it, but if the sprites and particles are coded or drawn seperately based on each individual animal, then yeah, it just might.)
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.
