Spent the last month trying, and failing, to get Spherical Harmonics lighting for massive environments working efficiently. To see it off, here's a collection of bugs along the way

Portal rework time. Rather than being boring flat planes, the gates between systems are now wormhole spheres

Pretty happy with this comet particle I've put together

Cooking continues, finally got around to adding colour/size/velocity variation over particle lifetimes. Really happy with how it's turned out.

Pro tip! Write games, not engines.

That said I've been working on adding Debug Draw utils, look at the cool manipulators I can spit out now! Not exactly sold on the API I've come up with yet

Spent a week getting this one setup, still a few kinks to work out. Portals allow for seamless level transitions with no loading states. You can even interact through portals to entities in the other "level". (Ignore the placeholder style visual ;) )

Early days on Trident Engines new particle editor. Currently caps out around 2m particles in at 16ms. Loads more to improve!
