Better goat jumping animation

The goats in the previews just look extremely goofy and unnatural in the way they jump. They could have a jumping animation similar to the horse instead

    Agreed. Goats should crouch before they jump, like foxes or cats.

    Agreed. Although i'd imagine that there will be many changes to the goat's mechanics since the update won't be coming out until the summer of 2021. I'm sure the jumping animation will be a lot more natural like how the horses jump or how foxes jump.

    Also I don't personally think they should jump like horses. Maybe more upright since goats often use their knees to leap up and down mountain sides. They hardly ever use just their hein legs to jump because they need to keep a sturdy stance with a lot of control in order to maneuver down such tricky terrain.

    That was a crude early snapshot I'm sure final realise will be much better

    Agreed. Love the mechanic, but the animation is a little wonky. I'd love to see em spiced up a bit!

    The goats' jumps must maintain their reach, but it would be much more realistic if the jump height were lower
