For those wondering why the lack of updates, I have been very busy with both my job and this hobby project. I have made an incredible amount of progress with the game. There is a certain milestone I want to reach before showing more clips. Please look forward to seeing more.

@stickinthecrate There are lots of new changes in my life that I'm getting used to. I have made a lot of progress since my last post tho. Look forward to seeing them in future updates 😊

@nfpRoss Hey man it's been a while... Just checking in to see if you're still working on this project. I think it's super inspiring and I've been following it for a while. I hope to see an update soon! Also, Happy new year!

Rain effect making terrain look super slippery 🌦 #unity #shadergraph #d #gamedev #shader #madewithunity #blender #vfx #gamedeveloper #indiegamedev #games #shaders #game #realtime

@tiltedtophat This is a perfect comment

@nfpRoss Its so moist it might taste like Gushers

@Phil_Wiskered The game is heavily inspired by 3D Zelda and Mario games. I want to implement some of the more unique mechanics before revealing it's title and main draw. Stay tuned!

@nfpRoss Looks clean! What's the game about?

@makutastories The smell of fresh wet grass and rock in a vivid lucid dream of mine was a big inspiration for my game so I'm glad you get it 💚

@nfpRoss I can almost smell the fresh, wet grass 😌 (yes that's a real smell don't judge me)

@sudevmulloor Going up steep terrain will be a bit tougher but rolling down hills will be speedier. Using roll momentum in a clever way can help you navigate all sorts of terrain. I want to polish some animations before fully showing the depths of the roll mechanic

@nfpRoss Does the climbing feel slippery too?

@Fizout Thank you 🙏 I would say half creative flow and half concrete vision. I want the game to be partially a Zelda and Mario parody while also having it's own identity. More will be revealed as I progress with development!

@nfpRoss This is absolutely gorgeous. What type of game are you creating. Or are you just going with the creative flow and let it shape itself.

@NotNorthstrider URP pipeline and grass shader made from scratch using unlit shadergraph. Decided to use URP for performance and render features

Rolling and exploring 🏃‍♂️🌄 #madewithunity #unity #d #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #indiegamedev #unitygamedev

@CrossCoderDev It is a momentum based roll. Look forward to more updates 🦔

@nfpRoss He’s spin dashing?!

@nick_baguette Tysm 💚 Yes billboards but not flipbooks, I tend to avoid those. Scrolling cloud/mist + density mask texture combined in shader. Allows for different wind directions and frame rate independent

@nfpRoss I love your fog/mist! Are those just flipbooked billboards moving along the terrain surface? They look great!

Letting only the Y axis contribute to hair physics makes hair look a lot bouncier! 😎 #madewithunity #unity #d #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #indiegamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegames #gamedesign #gaming #games #gamedeveloper

@animationbiz Unlit Blender shaders and URP Shadergraph are fairly similar. I open empty sandbox projects in Blender and experiment with combinations of shader + simple meshes with baked data such as vertex colors. If I like it, I export the mesh to Unity and recreate the shader in Shadergraph

@nfpRoss Hey, @nfpRoss! Your cloud animations create such an impressive visual effect! 🔥 We'd love to know more about your creative process if you don't mind sharing and do you have any tips for aspiring game developers looking to level up their VFX game? 🚀

@AviusL Want to meet a certain threshold in development before putting up a page. I'll let everyone know when I get there! Tysm for showing interest 💚

@nfpRoss Got a Steam page yet? This looks hella beautiful!

Scaling down grass when close to the camera Don't let that grass get in the way of your view 📸 #unity #shadergraph #d #gamedev #shader #madewithunity #blender #vfx #gamedeveloper #indiegamedev #games #shaders #game #realtime

@pnevmocapsula Thx 💚 My own shaders that I make using shadergraph. Using scrolling cloud texture + perlin noise for base shape. Calculating direction for highlights was one of the trickier things but really sells the final effect.

@nfpRoss Very neat clouds! How did you make them? Any plugin or your shaders? URP?

Strings start playing when gliding through the air🎵 This game is packed with small touches like these and it all contributes to such an adorable atmosphere I loved Smushi Come Home 💗 #indiegame #cozygames #nintendoswitch #cozygaming #cozygamer #gamedev #indiegamedev

@goobda_ That's right! I rarely code traditional hlsl shaders unless I need something really custom

@80Level "Known to many for creating marvelous interactive grass shaders" U make me blush TYSM 💚

.@nfpRoss has showcased an impressive Unity-powered setup for automatically scaling down grass when it is close to the camera: 80.lv/articles/unity… #unity #unity3d #madewithunity #shader #shaders #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev #indiegamedev #techart #technicalart
