Yeah, we wish it were that simple in real life 😅
By the way, maybe you know: the mast on my boat is perpendicular to the world floor, but I was wondering whether it should be perpendicular to the slope of the deck instead. It’s a detail, but I was thinking about it right before going to sleep 😵...

Thanks! In Omeganaut, everything moved toward the player. After adding physics, I had to invert that logic to not update the bodies of all non-moving objects. So I think I’ll move the boat & ocean chunks, and teleport them per quadrant if needed.
Or maybe the whole ocean could fit inside a bottle 🍾✨

Land ho!
Our first randomly generated island 🏝️
Before going further with the rules to obtain nice looking rocks, I need to tweak a few things. Turns out the boat was sailing like a missile. Hard to notice without fixed scenery 😅

No more jittering for the boat, nor the ocean. The fluidity 😯💦
Question for fellow devs: should the boat and its ocean meshes move through the world, or should they stay anchored at (0,0) with everything else moving around them?

I believe I nailed the pole of the mast 🪿✨
Now, to the rudder!

The ocean is now seamless and beautiful ✨
It came at an FPS cost, so I’m culling water tiles outside the camera view.
Learning every possible caveat along the way, but progress is liquid 🌊

Programming ES2/GL3 shaders isn’t easy, but I’m finally making progress ✨
Next challenges: hiding the seams between ocean meshes and discovering how to handle the boat trail...

Finally, someone who knows their boats 🫡
Following the passengers design, the boat will get a full revamp to make it look like a toy as well!

After a few tests, I think I know where I’m heading:
- half an image to save time
- vector graphics for quick changes
- a limited color palette, like old toys
The art style isn't definitive, though 😄

I don’t know how to animate skeletons in ZGameEditor...
So humans models devolved into toddler toys. Minimal shapes. Maximum intention.

I added virtual joysticks for steering and camera controls on Android. The boat now also weathervanes to align with the slope of the wave. I still have room for improvement everywhere. Let’s start making a game 🌊

Ah ouais. Une fois publié sur leur store, t'es coincé dans une spirale de mises à jour forcées. C'est pour ça qu'il n'y a plus un seul jeu rigolo sur Android… Après tu peux inclure l'apk dans le pack de téléchargement sur itch 😉
