Another dark ambient soundtrack piece. "Choked by the Waters of Madness" is supposed to be even darker and more intense than "The Empty Prayer". Fair warning is given, especially to those who are afraid of the ocean/water.


This particular track should be playing when Erik visits Perros, which is a seaside town. At that point in time, Erik's sanity is already dangerously low, and his moods are much more fleeting than before. When Erik witnesses something that makes his mood drop, this track begins to play.

Representing the superimposition of Erik drowning in his feelings onto the presence of the nearby ocean, this one features boiling, crashing waves, dark synths, and some field recordings (particularly the sounds of a person gargling - washing their throat with water), all interwoven.

I played #HollowKnight and got a lot of inspiration from it. A great example of how to work with parallaxes. Did you know that they actually used 3D space to build their scenes? I wonder if I can do the same thing in Godot Engine 4 for OGLS!

I made character shadows with shaders. However, they intersect with light occluder 2D shadows, creating unrealistic double shadows. I'm not sure if it's even possible to get rid of them. Any Godot 4 gurus out there? 🙏🥺

Now that I'm in Master's degree, I'm considering pitching OGLS as my exam project for the autumn semester. For more info, read the article!

In other news, NPC system finally works in 3D. At least, the planning/moving/stopping parts.

We played Dark Sanctuary with my orchestra!

I wrote a list of the worst problems with the build which I'm aiming to fix with this remake.

I decided to tackle the Tiling first. It feels different, but easy and precise. I love it a lot.

This is partially why I wanted to switch to Tilemaps. They are capable of stuff like THIS. Now I'm able to recreate any sort of lighting, any time of day, within any location that I create.

Hello! It's been a bit, but this project is back to the top of my priority list.

And Godot 4 released, which means that I have a great chance to clean up my project by remaking it from scratch!

More info in the article below.

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

Devlog 20th September:

Repainted the TV screen. Fixed the code so that the mouse input goes through to the tilemap, then realized I don't need it. Fun days.
