Nice presentation how a depth of field effect could be adjusted with visual representation by color using part of the viewport to render useful data - here used in the project by Dragosha:

Going from vanilla animations to incremental bits of juice adds SO MUCH FEEL. Even this early in development.
Even the very basic effects give me the juice to keep going.
(I work on actual enemy behavior soon)

A little trick to make medieval scenes more interesting - put off grid and rotate everything a little bit ↩️
I believe there weren't any strict city planning rules back then 😅

Example from a real project - the building UI made with Defold GUI follows a 3D game object. A small positioning delay is left on purpose to make it look smoother.
