Developing an incremental/survivors-like game! Magic. Fireballs. Runes. All very exciting!
I can't draw, but I try to make up for it with shaders.

Great step! I always find that's one of the hardest steps for me. Now that you have things to visualize and map, it makes things a lot easier! (I hope)

That looks snazzy! And difficult. I've heard that ladder mechanics are among the hardest to do properly in games.

Yeah, that's a lesson I'm quickly learning. First time doing a camera-follows-character effect. I wonder if this would be an interesting mechanic to explore in *a* game, but not this one.

Thank you! Yes, this is quite horrible 🫠 But I've switched it to a very mild lerp-follow and now it's much less... nauseating.

I've never done 3D first-person before so I haven't had to deal with issues like this, but it looks great so far!

I do that about once a week and it always takes me an embarrassingly long time to figure out the issue!
