...these particular ones pick a random deviation angle and speed now and then and lerp their velocity towards that continually (leads to nice circly bends!), tending towards the character. They reflect their deviation and velocity when they get to y==0 (*boiiinngg*) #indiedev

...I like this process a lot more than the texutring approach. It's a lot more crafting, but way less awkward processing afterwards. I do need to re-create each and every plant for each new diorama, which is fun ^^ #indiedev #vr #diorama #madewithblocks

I'm breaking my no-texture rule to see if I can make modelling the upcomming loads of nature somewhat more managable : ) Can you spot the textured parts? ^^ Not sure yet tho... it's less modelling but way more processing (mostly UVing), and the look, hm... #indiedev #vr #diorama

...thanks insta! That seems like a wonderful follow suggestion

I mean, I like how it merges with the poly shapes, but... it's feels like cluttered visual complexity just for the sake of it. The hand placed poly shapes feel much more deliberate, more handicrafted, no? ...maybe I just have to soldier on hand placing every poly ^^

I love it when that happens... went to check a simple display thing to enhance the battle pathing display and boom, full hex motion, pathing and neighbour checking all suddenly* implemented and working yay! (*1.5 week counts as suddenly right?) #indiedev #vr #diorama #rpg

...shame now that placement feels really tactical, I deffo need to implement some sort of aggro system to make it all count!

(...tho honestly I'm just postponing starting on a major imapct scene by perfecting all the other ones ^^ )

(it actually _is_ important because it's so much funnier in the cutscene somehow ^^)

...for who is wondering: using U as seed per shape, V for influence, scrolling in U through a noise texture on four different V offsets (flicker, bounce, waggle X and Y). Mesh pivot as an extra seed since these are static but can be instanced! some sneaky curves and whallah! #indiedev

...think I'm finished with the instrumentation, much better! Fixed the weird bassline as well and added some wappery spaciousness ; ) need to balance it out, few tiny details left! But I think I'll keep it : ) #indiedev #gamemusic
