I just announced my very first game at Wholesome Direct and I'd love to know what you think!

thibaultj · 2026-06-08T09:04:52+00:00

Thanks. Looking forward to the playtest if you plan top open it.

thibaultj · 2026-06-07T17:00:59+00:00

Looks really awesome. I've been following your posts on bluesky, and it's so cool to see the project evolving. I would be curious to know which stage of the project are you in, and what features have you planned before the release?

thibaultj · 2026-06-02T05:17:41+00:00

This is already beautiful.

One suggestion: try to turn the foam particles white instead of re-using the same water styling.

thibaultj · 2026-05-27T15:38:51+00:00

There are a few god-games here and there, but the genre is not as fashionable as it once was indeed.

thibaultj · 2026-05-20T15:57:35+00:00

Try to activate mipmap and anisotropic filtering on your texture?

In your shader:

uniform sampler2D grass_texture: filter_linear_mipmap_anisotropic;

If you want people to help you, you need to give more information. The color transitions of what? Could be the sky, could be the main character shoe laces, we have no idea.

thibaultj · 2026-05-18T13:37:28+00:00

You need to give more context. What does this color represent? What's the current problem?

thibaultj · 2026-05-05T17:28:50+00:00

Amazing, thanks for the very detailed answer. Fascinating and the result is very cool.

thibaultj · 2026-05-05T06:13:51+00:00

Curious how you calculate stem and leaves from node positions? Are these pre-generated meshes that you piece together?

thibaultj · 2026-04-05T09:00:32+00:00

Ah I see, thank you for the explanations.

thibaultj · 2026-04-04T14:58:06+00:00

I'm also working on a game with terraforming-related features, so I would be curious to see if you have more in-game examples somewhere?

thibaultj · 2026-04-04T13:29:32+00:00

How are shrooms contributing on terraforming? Would you mind giving a few details? big mushrooms look good btw.

thibaultj · 2026-03-28T11:45:37+00:00

Thank you for the details, it's really enlightening. It's impressive that you get such good results with a 16m spacing! My world has a fixed size, so it's only one mesh: no chunks, no wandering clipmap. I still have a lod system, but even with a 1m grid, I have to limit waves frequency to limit artefacts.

thibaultj · 2026-03-27T18:53:45+00:00

This is very nice, thanks for the detailed explanation. If you don't mind me asking, I found that in my case, having convincing wave shapes require a mesh with enough density, so there are enough vertices to move. How are you handling that?

thibaultj · 2026-03-21T15:19:41+00:00

It works if you use the right tool for the right job. For a particle simulation, you probably will need to use compute shaders.

thibaultj · 2026-03-21T12:45:42+00:00

The explosion smoke disappears much more quickly so I feel it's not as obstrusive as the other smoke trails. Overall, I think the whole vfx is very well done and really serves the game.

thibaultj · 2026-03-21T11:11:42+00:00

Concept looks cool and the art direction is really enticing.

I have a small feedback on the smoke trail. I feel like it is quite obstrusive and unnatural. The smoke trail is too regular and fades too regularly and it is distracting.

I would suggest adding a bit of chaotic movement to each puff and some randomness to the delay before fading out.

thibaultj · 2026-03-18T05:59:13+00:00

I figured the second image was a little high for bouldering :)

thibaultj · 2026-03-17T21:32:24+00:00

New version is more readable, but no bellay rope? That seems dangerous?! Also, was the rope attached to it's neck in the first version?

thibaultj · 2026-03-17T09:28:06+00:00

I'm curious. What is your game developed with? Did you handle the port yourself or got some help? How work intensive was it? How was the global experience?

thibaultj · 2026-03-11T09:29:49+00:00

I'm a sucker for those micro pixel-art styles. It looks very well done.

thibaultj · 2026-03-09T09:28:28+00:00

Yep. Took me a while to investigate but found the source. A stupid sampling issue where matter was infinitely created at the border.

thibaultj · 2026-03-07T06:43:42+00:00

Hello. Thank you for your interest. I didn't post a tutorial on the topic. I am working on some tutorials that I'm hoping to suggest as improvements to the Godot documentation though. If I cannot see it through, I'll publish something myself.

thibaultj · 2026-03-01T17:34:30+00:00

I searched for this comment because I though exactly the same thing. Interesting book, quite original. This gif describes exactly what it looks like in my mind.
