Day/Night Atmosphere and Procedural Sun Corona

Game

GodSpace Galactic 2

11 years ago

In line with my recent updates to the water shader, I reworked the atmosphere shader to be lit, leading to visible day/night overall, instead of just the ground. I still need to update the volumetric clouds to be lit too, but one step at a time haha.

I also changed the star corona from a slightly animated sprite to a proper noise driven shader that gives a lot of life and panache to stars:

I’m working on an update to the resource system that will allow player control of object size, mass, resources (iron, water, oxygen, hydrogen, etc.), either manually, or setting a multiplier for the automatic formulas. I’ll also be taking the oportunity to rework the collision manager to allow asteroids to become planets once they’ve gained enough mass. Stay tuned!

Shoobies leave a sticky trail of mucus in their wake, which can impede movement for any creature that steps in it.

@PippinGames221

We made a lot of improvements on the Freezing Plains visual. Things like pine trees, tiny bushes, some rocks, and others game props!

Enemies can also suddenly spawn through Realm Rifts. These Rift Spawns are going to be stronger than the ones wandering around. TBD on the enemies... #screenshotsaturday #godstear #madewithunity

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).
