If you want to simulate glass in Godot, sample the screen texture, refract it, and add it to the screen UV coordinates. I’ll be adding this effect to the Godot Shaders Bible package update.

If you want to learn shaders, check out the book 🔗 jettelly.com/store/the-go...

"It's Going to be OK" is a singleplayer boardgame in the style of Pandemic or Daybreak.

Coordinate a mutual aid network to keep folks healthy. From each according to their ability, to each according to their need.

Naah, I want them on trial.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:

End the roving patrols and racial profiling.

Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.

Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

So, my little ps1 game is about Minneosta, rebellion, and aliens. And all the emotions I've been feeling for the past month or so. Please support my work.
