Also, when the player zooms out, the HUD transforms into an icon that faces the units direction and will fade to match the units health.

The process:
I take the base color, alpha it and get color data. I then take the roughness from the ao_r_mt texture, because water is smooth, and create two inverted images, one land and one water. Then apply new colors, add them together and I have a new planet!

So I finally took the advice of the speakers and put myself out there, and I don't think I'd ever go back :) . Thank you MDEV and thank you everyone who made it possible, the organizers, volunteers, show casers, studios, and attendees.

By far my favorite year, I meet so many people, I connected, and got the fun of talking to people about what I was working on in real time.

This year I was no longer at LBI and been wanting the mentor aspect I had working for a studio, so I signed up to give a talk and pushed to have my game ready to showcase.

So my second year I made a plan: I signed up to run the LBI booth for a bit, I wore my gear, I made time to talk to people. It was soo much better.

I've been going to MDEV for three years.

The first year was lonely because of mistakes I made: I didn't wear my LBI gear, I just went to talks, and didn't really seek out conversations.
