Been working on the look of terrain and platforms, currently using a grid map setup. While it allows me to make blocky terrain of any shape, I'm not sure yet if it is an efficient way of making maps (both time and performance) 🤔
Does anyone have experience with gridmaps?

Have some screenshots for if Bluesky's video compression makes it illegible.

After some shader wrangling and trying to get grips on the compositor I now have an anisotropic Kuwahara filter based Depth of Field effect (that's a mouth full 😳)
I hope it's not too compressed in the video 🫣

I'm new to level design, but creating small alternative paths of traversal has been the best part by far.

I told myself I wouldn't look into edge detection for this project, as it always becomes a rabbit hole... anyways 🐇

For this Saturday I greyboxed a level. Having an actual level is great for finding pain points in your game and learning how to design around them.

Pretty happy with my new guided camera.
In the video below all camera movement is automatic, no input from me.
It primarily works through constraints with dead-zones and exponential decay.

After the ground moves I've now implement air moves! They can now plunge down and air dive in any direction out of it. She also bonks her head if diving into it 🤕

Draw me like one of your placeholder glide poses 😅

When crouching while running you now "glide" (ground slide), giving a small speed boost and allowing you to duck under things.
Difference with the slide is that a slide is forced by (the slope of) the surface, while glide is controlled by your input.

Don't get motion sick, as the slides can go both up and down 🥴
Still need to do some bug fixes, but they can now slide down slopes and objects on the "slide" layer.

Rewrote the player controller to handle custom gravity. Not that the game is set in space or anything, but in fantasy anything is possible 🧙♂️
Now I only need to make some galaxy-brain level designs 🪐🤯

Implemented crouching this week, including a long jump and high jump 🦵
Don't mind that the character is clipping, I need to get back to rigging + animation at some point 😩

Made a little test level to try out different platforming mechanics, and see which ones break 😅

Some blue skies for BlueSky on this #screenshotsaturday
Working on the look of distant clouds 🌥️
The main problem is not having access to the ambient light or skybox itself in the cloud shader.

There is still more that can be done to improve the deformation. But I'm satisfied for now.

In the end it was bone count per vertex. A lot of model cleanup, rigging and weight painting later it is starting to look nice.
Why did I ever decide to give them loose clothing 😫

Okay there is a difference, as the export "apply modifiers" doesn't apply the armature.

There is also a discrepency between my pose in Blender and Godot that I haven't figured out yet 🤔

Making progress on the character modelling, though there is definitely still a lot of tweaking and rigging left.
