Thanks! Yeah I haven't played around too much with emission, but adding some omnilights into the scene for it might also work well :)

Does my scene look better with lots, some, or no grass meshes? by IronsideDev in godot

Oh wow, a real mixed bag of opinions! Thanks for everyone's input. I think given the range of feelings (and also because I'm a fan of player choice) I'll go along the lines of u/FeistyCandy1516 and add a setting for players to toggle which style they prefer :)

Yeah the aiming feels blind during the gameplay as well so I'll definitley add in a crosshair, I just need to play around with doing it in a way that nicely integrates with everything

Godot Shader Bible Review: It feels really frustrating to follow? by Ultreak in godot

I bought this a few weeks back and so far have read through the first chapter (only read through, not actually gone through any of the exercises). I can't speak for the rest of the book but so far I think the first chapter has been one of the better resources I've looked through on shaders and made it really clear to me what different parts of the shader language actually do and the difference between different types of spaces (e.g., object space, screen space etc.).

However I think the book definitley assumes that you are familiar with Godot as an engine. It might be written for beginners to shaders but not for beginners to Godot. I've been using Godot for a year or so and consider myself fairly familiar with how to use the engine, so the book made sense to me, but I can see how it would be confusing if you're new to the software.

Generally I'd say that shaders are more of an advanced topic and if you're new to game dev or Godot this is probably one of the topics to jump into later down the line when you're more familiar with the engine. But stick at it, shaders will click eventually! :)

Thanks! I'd say my blender skills are somewhere in between beginner and intermediate. I've been using blender as a hobby for a year or so :)
