Instead of shrinking and dying, I tried making plants dry out so they can be "saved" when you get them their water back. That might lead to the level being covered in dry plants which I'm not sure is a good or bad thing ๐ค

I was reworking some shader stuff when suddenly everything turned into a magical winter wonderlandโ๏ธโจ I had scrapped the idea of snow in my game but now I'm wondering if I tossed out a low hangig fruit๐ค

The level generator is starting to create some pretty cute canyon valleys ๐๏ธโจ My camera controller is not a fan of those pillars though๐ฅฒ

Back working on level generation. My approach is still to make a height map by stacking a bunch of noises in a shader and saving that as a texture for my terrain generator to munch on. Its going okay, creating real variation is hard! Also what are the level borders supposed to look like?

Finally got an excuse to use Unity's VFX graphs (instead of good old particle systems out of habit) and I must say they are pretty neat. The ability to combine them with Shadergraph shaders did it for me! So I can both have flying behaviour and flapping wings in this little bee swarm VFX I made ๐ ๐

Researching water mechanics I found these cool water wheels that romans used to transport water upwards! ๐คฉ They're called "noria" and are solely driven by the river's current. I loved them so much I needed them in my game too!

Made some postcards with screenshots of my watery game for a playtesting event. Of course they arrived half a day too late and now I'm stuck with 300 of them ๐คฆ They'll probably be outdated by the time I get to the next event too so... anyone want to get a postcard from me? ๐

I did it people, I got the funding for my watery game! ๐ฅณ That means I can actually make this into a real thing and bring it to you on Steam ๐คฏ This already is a dream come true, thank you MBB for believing in me and everyone here cheering me on ๐ฅนโค๏ธ

So on a scale from 1 to Niagara - how many waterfalls are enough waterfalls? ๐ค

Tall waterfalls! And ripples under them. Also: grass adjusts nicely to the new color variations in the terrain now.
