added lighting. ripple effect is due to how the lighting works - tiles check adjacent tiles light level, and if its greater, they increase their light level by a set fraction of said tile.

few sample Seed values. terrain is entirely based upon seed value. biomes are created based upon humidity, temperature, and elevation, all of which are generated by noise

a week ago my fps at this scale would be sub 30

small changes add up

fluid dynamics / viscosity now, did a test to make sure fluid levels were actually preserved during movement

ignore the funky player movement, it really needs to be fixed

water physics; rudimentary. quite similiar to my light flow except the water prioritizes vertical motion over horizontal, and the law of the conservation of energy was especially applicable. not pretty right now, hopefully i will clean it up xD

original vs AI

there are levels to graphic design

adding grass outline wrApping. was a lot more difficult than expected

Branched off to a side-scrolling version of the tile engine. Lighting now uses set transmission levels per tile, with heavier materials dampening the light and less heavy materials such as dirt allowing more light to phase through

experimenting with colored RGB lighting. Light no longer flows as a singular value down the gradient but as a collection of red, green, and blue values, which can easily be modified for different colors to drop off first or be more prominent
