(2/3) The player's water trail and splashes have been improved. Also there are now 3 water types: clear/shallow, normal, and deep/opaque. Normally these are smoothly blended together but I've left the middle of the water unblended to better show them off.

@FennecTECH @GristleMcTough The engine already has support for building, but it's unlikely to make it into the final game due to the time investment. Player house custom-ability is possible, but full world building will probably only be available if there is mod support. You can see a build gif here:

@Darkfafi The texturing part uses game maker exclusive functions (textured primitives) which do all the heavy lifting for you. I skipped over that as it doesn't really translate to other langauges.
