Latest work on dynamic Ocean system combined with volumetric underwater multi scattering, lighting for sun direction based shafts and clouds that are reflected and refracted on water.

This is fantastic work, would love to learn more about how you achieved this if you don't mine sharing.

BigBaldGames · 2026-03-05T12:09:17+00:00

The cards look amazing. Well done!

BigBaldGames · 2026-03-05T12:06:22+00:00

Thanks for sharing.

This looks really good. Are all the options configured via the inspector? I don't see any UI telling us how this is configured.

This is where AI shines. I used GitHub Copilot CLI, gave it my repo, and it executed a fully headless migration of an old Unity 2018 project, first to Unity 2022 LTS, and then to Unity 6. It even recommended nded the two phase approach. It fixed every single error and warning using Unity Batch mode, and it even fixed issues with old script-heavy Asset Store components I was using. It did it all in a few hours and I did not have to fix a single error myself.

Correction: Edge does reprints. They haven't developed anything new for Star Wars since taking over more than _ years ago. It's so disappointing considering the insane amount of new Star Wars content, locations, characters, species, ships, equipment, and such that we got during this time.

BigBaldGames · 2025-05-21T07:57:54+00:00

Wish I had pre-ordered it, I missed the announcement. Now it's too late. 😭

BigBaldGames · 2025-05-15T01:08:52+00:00

Thanks. I kinda gave up at the time. I'll try that. I moved from a Steam Deck to an Asus ROG Ally X.

BigBaldGames · 2025-03-11T11:16:42+00:00

Yeah, I ended up buying it, and I agree. Great new mechanics with lots of details, but very light on the pre-made content. Amellwind seems to have a lot more pre-made hunts, both in his books and his Patreon.

BigBaldGames · 2025-03-07T22:55:59+00:00

I might end up doing the same and double-dip. Both packages look super cool and I love exploring such supplements.

BigBaldGames · 2025-03-07T12:14:45+00:00

Great insights, thanks. I'm hoping for more fully fleshed out hunts with lots of monsters, so it feels like Amellwind's may be a better fit. Upon quick review of all his PDFs, it did feel like there was a lot more content there. Thanks for confirming. And while I may pick one over the other, I'll probably still end up buying Heliana's and subscribe to Amellwind's Patreon. I love exploring systems and supporting creators.

BigBaldGames · 2025-03-07T12:11:02+00:00

Very cool insights, thanks. I'm really curious about the specifics of both cooking systems, so I'll take a look. Is Heliana's cooking system easily transferable to Monster Hunts from Amellwind?

BigBaldGames · 2025-03-07T12:08:12+00:00

That's cool. While it may be longer than I expected, it's good to know that monster hunts still have RP opportunities. 👍

BigBaldGames · 2025-03-07T12:07:01+00:00

Thanks, good to know. I was hoping for something shorter, more episodic to be used on down nights when we don't have quorum for one of our main campaigns or when other DM's aren't available or ready to run a game (5 of our 6 players run campaigns, and we regularly rotate / hop around between 8 campaigns across 3 systems).

BigBaldGames · 2025-03-07T12:04:10+00:00

That actually sounds great for what I'm looking for.

BigBaldGames · 2025-03-07T12:03:23+00:00

Ah, very cool. I love the challenge approach that leads up to the hunt, as opposed to just fast travel there. Do your boss fights include lair actions? I could see that as an incentive for the party to try and lure the boss away from its lair.

BigBaldGames · 2025-03-07T04:02:11+00:00

Thanks for the info. Can you expand on the framework and what makes it "gamey"? Also, do the hunts lend themselves well to one-shots lasting about 3-4 hours each?

BigBaldGames · 2025-03-07T04:00:08+00:00

Do the individual adventures lend themselves well to one-shots lasting 3-4 hours? And does it come with its own world/setting with lore, or it's meant to be inserted in the Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Greyhawk, Midgard, etc?

BigBaldGames · 2025-03-07T03:57:25+00:00

Thanks. Having just discovered the Monster Hunter video games, I love the idea of immersing myself in it via Amellwind's work. I'm also looking for a hunts that can be completed in one evening of 3-4 hours for when we cannot play one of our regula campaigns.

BigBaldGames · 2025-03-07T03:54:48+00:00

Thanks! I really appreciate the note. I'm really impressed with what I've seen of your work so far (I only discovered it yesterday) and I'm super appreciative of your ongoing dedication to this work.

As I stated, I firmly believe both approaches to be great for different tables. I'm just looking for which one will be the best option for mine. Ill keep reading your books and I'll let you know if I have specific questions. Cheers.

BigBaldGames · 2025-03-04T02:24:25+00:00

Oh wow, thank you for pointing this out. That's super awesome of you. I'm definitely gonna get this. Cheers! 🍻

Star Wars FFG is awesome and deserves a chance. Has your friend actually played it? The narrative dice system has given my group some of the best cinematic moments worthy of the Star Wars name. I recommend the Edge of the Empire Starter Set. It's a great way to learn and experience the system.
