I was wandering how to make things visible from afar no matter the camera angle (seagulls in the sky will indicate good places to fish). This world bending effect may be the perfect solution to the problem 🤔 #screenshotsaturday #GodotEngine

Behind the scenes of how @wickedgame Curved Perspective works in action. We love how it makes the world feel less rigid during camera parallaxing in motion, and allows you to see so much further into the distance compared to a standard top down perspective.

Building on the "no inventory" idea, here's a little proof of concept of how it could look, where collected ressources can be moved and stacked together before being put in the main "container" for that specific type of ressource. All feedback is welcome 😊 #GodotEngine

It’s a small game about a fisherman that lives on a remote island. For the main game loop you’ll have to gather various fish and ingredients as not to go hungry. You’ll cook up dishes and learn new recipes as you go 2/3

Rather than having an inventory for the player to manage I was thinking of having these movable containers. The idea: collecting a resource will spawn a container, acting as a temporary "inventory" until you transfer its contents into your main chest in the house #GodotEngine

@passivestar_ I've put the bending logic into a gdshaderinc so it can be easily reused across multiple shaders. Most things are using the same material that read the colours of a simple palette texture. It works well enough for the toon aesthetic but probably not much good for anything else.

@NickDCarver Why would you take a photo with your phone rather than paying a photographer? Simply because the tech exists. And despite giving an inferior result, it's easier, cheaper and more practical. Yet professional photographers still exist. Let me ask you, how is this any different?

@passivestar_ I've only used the built in blender import but have encountered similar issues. The safest I've found is to avoid inherited scenes entirely. I create a new Node3D and drop the file into the scene. If it breaks I can keep the script, nodes signals etc and just reimport the model

Of course it may take quite a bit of trial and error to get right. But collected ressources will probably be able to be stacked into one container, maybe only slow the players speed based on the amount of items in the container etc. I don't want it to become a "chore"
