Someone should do a proper, simple, maintained implementation of 3D Trails in Godot. Not thinking of anyone in particular but my ouija board weirdly spelled out this handle @rokojori.com :O

been working on an intense stylized skybox shader. Next steps are mostly tweaking the colors, getting rid of some of the banding in the blues, and get more bloom of the sun colors to be absorbed and scattered in the clouds. #GodotEngine

I am literally starting the game design of spirebound today. There hasn't gone a single thought into it yet. But it is the new hyperfocus from now on.

Check your FOV! I have recently noticed that my game doesn't look like I intended. A big part of it was the default FOV of Godot Engine. Here is a comparison between two different FOVs for the game. I prefer the lower FOV for this game, it gives it more of a nintendo DS look imo #GodotEngine

I have been eyeing a sort of cute + epic vibe & aesthetic with this game. I really doubted I could ever get it to that, but lately through persistence and the help of a friend it's really getting where I want it to be.
