Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, bee movement and animation when entering or exiting a bee port appear abrupt or unnatural. This affects the visual polish and immersion of the game. For example, bees transition instantly or have robotic movement when using the port, which can be distracting.

Describe the solution you'd like

  • Smoothen the bee's trajectory and speed when approaching or leaving a bee port.
  • Implement transition animations that make entry and exit feel more natural and visually appealing.
  • Use easing curves, acceleration/deceleration, and animation blending for transitions.
  • Optionally, add effects (e.g., dust, motion blur, wing flutter) to polish the movement.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Keeping the current movement/animation as is.
  • Only tweaking animation timing, not movement logic.
  • Using simple fade-ins/outs instead of motion changes.

Additional context

  • Review current implementation for improvement opportunities in movement and animation code.
  • Gather feedback from playtesting to fine-tune the effect.
  • No negative impact on game performance or bee behavior logic is expected.
