Team/Hand compose screen!
Looks shitty atm because it's a mockup, stay tuned for the final one.
Some missions allow you to customize your team placement before starting, some (the hard ones) don't.
You may also be able to setup your starting hand.

Working on the difficulty modifier for unit stats and spells, to create the singleplayer roguelite!
That spells base upgrade is +2 😱

Day 2 of the grass system!
Removed the json step because it was useless. Now it creates a vertex buffer by reading 2 guides pictures (first is PSR, reading argb for scaling and angle - second is color of grass blade) then saves it as a buffer. Supports multi-pictures!

Now working on the grass system!
2 guide pictures into a json, into a vertex buffer, cached to the disk then loaded at runtime

Final form on the right!
Added edge lighting made by @xot.bsky.social to the tree, to mimic some warm sunlight on the leaves.
Now I'm going to make a "burning" version! Stay tuned!

Nice! Is it replicating the Spine runtime integration?
The simplest way for me to make animated trees with countless customisable leaves would be to first animate a trunk on Spine then add leaves on it and replicate the Spine animation with a picture and an "amplitudes.json" file

Spine bone animation baking + json + vertex buffers + data structures + deformation via pictures only, 2 sources, first one is baked Spine animation, second one is leaf wind, leaves can vary both in angle and scaling x/y real time, shader animated

Ingame speedrun timer (+ online high scores) currently being added for tutorial missions :D
Will be used for real missions and scripted battles too, like bosses.
