Did a quick search and found this image that sums it up decently. It's from this post discussing some of what I'm talking about discussions.unity.com/t/water-shad...
2 variations on a rock intersecting a water plane. The first is labelled depth based and the foam disappears abruptly to the sides of the rock, the second is labeled projected and the foam nicely surrounds the rock even including a little bit of foam peeking out from behind the rock.

I may have helped inspire this one 😉

2 games by devs I've followed for a long time and 1 game I helped make altogether at a nice little discount, grab it before the opportunity rolls away and falls into the skybox!

They were so close!
A cloud of smoke fills the screen, a line of text in a black box at the bottom of the screen reads "Ensnared in a transporter trap!" It's the elden ring teleporter chest!

Blast from the past, for some reason I had a screenshot of an old Cohost post showing the early days of Marblous Worlds development over 2 years ago in 2023. I'm glad I'm better at coming back to projects the last couple of years.
Screenshot of my cohost profile with the most recent post showing screenshots of a much earlier version of Marblous Worlds posted 12 hours ago and reading "Been Making a little marble madness inspired thing the last few days"

I think you just have to hate everyone and have a desire to put a big wall between you and the rest of the world, a bit like this one...

The setting menu of Marblous Worlds. In the background is an area full of greenery with a checkered area covering the upper left of the screen transitioning with noise at the edge. In the top righgt the Marblous worlds logo is visible and the settings panel contains options like "FPS Cap", "Depth of field" and "UI Theme". The theme is set to default and everything is bright with a very slight blue tint. The logo and checkers feature varying shades of blue. Same screen as the previous image but the theme is set to dark and everything is dark with a very slight blue tint. The logo and checkers feature varying shades of blue, with the checkers now having darker squares. Same screen as the previous image but the theme is set to pink and everything is pink and purple. The logo and checkers feature varying shades of pink.

Thank you! Gridmap + triplanar + a custom gradient pallette plugin + shader globals make iteration very fast. Going to figure out baking my maps to meshes so I can remove internal faces and improve the collisions/rendering. Having issues with vertical faces rendering through the floor and colliding.

Haven't fully tweaked everything to look perfect in but here's a look at an autumnal pallette I was working on. I really want to make piles of leaves you can roll through and send leaves flying.
A screenshot of the same area as many of the screenshots yesterday butr with an orange colouring to the grass and trees. Screenshoty of another area in the same pallette The start of a level, a clear teal marble rests at the top of a slope with ramps on alternating sides. A later area of the same level.

Very close to needing to update the store page again now that the marble maker is implemented. also made some really big improvements to marble rendering and made a cool new water shader.

Screenshot of my game Marblous Worlds. A dark purple marble with a spiral of coloured glass inside is on a platform surrounded by succulents with water below that has a grainy effect to it. Screenshot of my game Marblous Worlds. A dark brown marble floats above a grey plinth. On thew left side of the screen there is a menu titled Marble Maker featuring a colour picker for the glass, cloudiness and fogginess sliders. Screenshot of my game Marblous Worlds. A reddish pink marble floats above a grey plinth with a swirl of pink and orange inside. On the left side of the screen there is a menu titled Marble Maker featuring options for modifying the central swirl such as twist frequency, curve intensity and texture scale. Screenshot of my game Marblous Worlds. A clear marble with slight teal tinting and a green, blue and yellow catseye swirl is in the air above a high up section of the overworld. Spinning bariers can be seen in the area as well as the succulent plants.

drawing of a puppygirl with a curly fringe, hair tied up and 2 big floppy ears. She's got tan fur with hints of dark tan in her hair. She's wearing a big wooly cardigan and a dark green skirt with polkadots of pink yellow and light green. The background is a brushy mix of purple pink and blue passed through a screentone filter.

screenshot of itch.io ratings with 6 5 star reviews and 1 1 star review. The oinly rating ith a comment is the 1 star review which says "silly meme game that isn't even funny" I hope it goes without saying this post is unserious.

Using unity for work a bit lately and I booted up one of 2 projects I didn't lose the source for that I'd like to finish. Maybe this thing will see a release in 2025 but maybe it'll drag out longer. Added some more rocks and trees today and it was super chill. #GameDev #IndieDev #LowPoly #Brutalism

In a sleep deprived statet I decided to play with the #Godot4 CSG tools. Using a couple of plugins (CSG Toolkit & Protoshape) and honestly with better builtin tooling and some added functionality(esp per surface mats) I would definitely use it more. #LevelDesign #GodotEngine #IndieDev #WalkingSim
Night time view from the base of a tall brick building. To the right of the building stands a tiled structure with gold extruded 3D text that is unreadable from this angle. View from inside an archway in a round structure surrounding the building. View from the pavement by the base of the tower towards the encircling structure. The top of another builting peaks over the top of the structure. View of a sunken circular garden with circular patches of grass. This screenshot is from outside the encircling structure and features a different building which is shorter.
