So the "background" stuff I'm working on is LUT based color grading. I made good progress yesterday, but I'm still struggling with the handling of HDR colors... as you can see here.

It has been a while since I posted an update.

While still working on background stuff, I continued iterating on content. I needed a snowy version of the environment, so I adjusted the tile style and added falling snowflakes. 😊

I should start to cleanup the graph now... 🤪

Progress of the last few days:
- I finished the cliff textures, pretty happy about those ! :)
- I did a pass to adjust the contrast of the textures, things pop out a little better now
- I did a quick hack to implement my layering system, so now the player can pass behind elements, like the cliff edges.
- I improved the clouds shadows pattern and it looks much more natural now.

Twitter continuing to push its garbage in whatever way possible...

I have been struggling these past few weeks on building a new set of tiles: cliffs !
Not easy to get something that works via Substance Designer at first, but I'm getting the hang of it. :D

#gamedev #tileset #rpg

Got the base collisions in.
I ended-up building them in Tiled too by hand.
I suppose this could become be tedious in the long run, but I like the idea of freedom from the tileset itself that it gives.
Plus is as easy to parse as the tilesets themselves when exporting to the game.

While googling about how to do lighting and shadows in a 2D game, I stumbled upon this great blog post from the devs of "Graveyard Keeper", I highly recommend the reading: https://www.gamedeveloper.com/programming/graveyard-keeper-how-the-graphics-effects-are-made

Okay, added some noise and little waves, I'm really liking that result !

A "few" tweaks later, I have animated water ! :D

#gamedev

Took a few tries, but I got the Jump Flood working an now have a Distance Field texture working ! :D
Just need to cleanup the pipeline now and integrate it in-game ! \0/

Before moving on to collisions (which I have prepped the data for it already, now I need to translate it into the game) I want to play a bit with water surfaces.

Right now I built a new set of tiles with transparency. The goal is to render the map as a black and white mask and then generated a distance field from the hole.
From there I should be able to generated dynamic shorelines. :)
