I wanted to somehow influence the bugs, so I added a shiny light 💡

#gamedev #indiegamedev #unity3d

A few more bugs 🐞

#gamedev #indiegamedev #unity3d

I found some bugs 🐞

#gamedev #indiegamedev #unity3d

I added some atmospheric particle effects like dust specks, flying grass, and subtle drifting fog ✨

#gamedev #indiegamedev #unity3d

Improved fish pathfinding and object avoidance 🐟

#gamedev #indiegamedev #unity3d

I started working on a dynamic day-night cycle 🌄

Finally got around to implementing proper swimming mechanics 🦦

Finetuning water reflections 🪞

#indiegamedev #gamedev #unity3d #realtimevfx #shader

I try to prevent sudden camera movement while jumping by moving the camera target only when the character lands. Just wanted to share that I finally found a solution that works for me :)

Working on splash effects 💦

#gamedev #indiegame #unity3d

Hey, thanks! Also your feedback is much appreciated! Sometimes while developing you stop noticing things as clearly as someone with a fresh outside perspective. So thanks in any case for commenting!

It's definitely missing some splashes yeah. I will add those eventually but I like to get the hard part done with first, which for me was optimizing my ripple solver setup.

Tried my hand at smoother water interaction 💦

The scene view is beautiful in its own way, haha 😃

Made a new skybox shader to go with my happy little clouds 🌤️

#gamedev #indiegame #unity3d

Testing a more stylized look for the clouds ☁️

#gamedev #indiegame #unity3d

Added a hand-painted noise texture for cloud movement. I am quite happy with how it turned out 🌞

#gamedev #indiegame #unity3d

Making progress with cloud rendering 🌤️

I modeled a cloud mesh and also realized I might not even need a blur pass to match the look of my game.

Following the approach from the Sea of Thieves GDC Tech Art talk: youtu.be/KxnFr5ugAHs?...

Working on a new approach to cloud rendering with custom cloud shapes that react to lighting ☁️

#gamedev #indiegamedev #unity3d

I modeled some assets, optimized my tree foliage shader, and tweaked the overall look 🐸

#gamedev #indiegamedev #unity3d

Worked a bit more on my forest scene 🌲

Quick look at a little forest area I started working on 🌲

I like my colors a little washed-out. 🫧

#gamedev #indiegamedev #unity3d

Hey thanks, I appreciate your feedback! :)

I reworked the fishing cast mechanic (again) and added a camera focus effect when aiming. Looks like I’ll need to slow down the transitions a bit to avoid motion sickness.

#gamedev #indiegamedev #unity3d

I made this bottle liquid shader.

Once again, a special thanks to @minionsart.bsky.social for contributing their wonderful tutorials to the community!

#gamedev #indiegamedev #unity3d

I added ground type detection so I can play matching footstep particles and (later) sound effects.
