Fantastic update presentation and input opportunity!
Lore additions - Awesome... Getting to know "our" future game better is elating.
As others have stated and @Grummz has already noted; The "Sinnister" is the current best laugh and all need work before final decisions are made. Some great suggestions have been added for this as well; (@LegionPL , Keep multiple options available in-game for player to choose specific THMPR personality via settings.)
Though this could definitely be part of a future project, how about more than just "A" laugh for THMPR personality? Why not a few remarks/animations and they vary slightly between the options which the player chooses from? Obviously a larger and longer term goal though would absolutely add a lot of character to the game.
I would also say make the laughs a little shorter, they seem a bit long for a general laugh, they are more set as "Darn good joke" or "gut buster" laugh lengths at this point. Honestly, how about pallete of 30 or so that can be weeded down to the few used above? Possibly this is even a monetary or a player mod option for later?
Hoping how off the plasma cannon seemed is due to the projectile drop thing I think the sound is a little off too, the splash damage at the end of the shot was a nice animation. The rocket launcher, wasn't it supposed to be be shoulder fired rockets? I think that target was missed. So, aside from the rockets firing from the wrong location (in my viewpoint), The first second of the fire animation needs work, the projectiles go from the barrel (5 - 10% of view area) to full size (60 - 70% of view area) too quickly, it makes it appear as if (6) 3" rockets just came out of one 1/2" gun barrel, I get that this is fantasy but that is a little over the top for Sci-Fi.
I like the Tsi-Hu model. I was expecting the tentacles to be about a foot longer, given height of Tsi-Hu of about 6' the tentacles reaching around 9'.
My only comment for the human animation would be head movement other than stage two running, looks great otherwise.
