We unpack the infamous high heel problem in game development—how changing a character’s shoe height cascades into animations, hitboxes, and interactions. From Dragon’s Dogma 2 to IK-based solutions and clever workarounds, we explore techniques, trade-offs, and why this tiny detail matters in modern games.
