I think you actually CAN set the level above 60. Also your foot isn’t exactly a foot long. Imperial isn’t natural, it’s the result of a bunch of Romans without a better system thinking up something on the fly from available body parts/storage vessels.
Metric is the usual calculation in games because to do imperial you’d have to add in extra code.
Like with meters and kilometers you go “This character has traveled 1000 meters so that’s 1 kilometer”. The code for that would look something like:
double meters = getMeters();
double kilometers = meters/1000;
Whereas doing miles would be:
double feet = getFeet();
double miles = feet/5,280;
Meanwhile you could scale metric down with base ten. But for feet to inches? You’d need to divide by 12. It’s just messier.
