The name is definitely unique :smiley: I wonder if there is any slang meaning for chubs? Or is it really about fishes? :sweat_smile:

Cutoff wall shader looks great! :heart_eyes: Maybe the border could fade out with transparency, you know, something like a gradient circle? :thinking:

Money meditations, affirmations😂

Can’t share video. From what I see, it is hard to play on mobile. Need input tutorial, and improvements

These are expected I guess.
Only major issue for me is; I don’t understand the goal… Why do we need to pay for trees, roads, etc… What is the goal here… I bet you already thought about it, just want to share…

Yes, thanks for feedback. I think about this, I have ideas, but I don’t know how to tell this to player🤔
I don’t want text and dialogs. Mb I need some small cutscenes or narrative by environment.

But this is task for future me, for now there are a lot tasks for gameplay and level design:)

This is very early version of game:)

I conquered transparency—it wasn’t as scary as I thought! Now the game will have windows.

1)Added discard for fonts in the 3D world.
2)Draw transparent models last. Set the material of transparent models to VERTEX_SPACE_WORLD (so that back-to-front sorting works) It was unexpected to discover that models using VERTEX_SPACE_LOCAL are not sorted by depth. You need to use VERTEX_SPACE_WORLD instead.

There are minor artifacts, but they’re manageable:
1)An outline on fonts when viewed on glass (due to discard).
2)Sometimes sorting doesn’t work correctly when models are close together and at an angle (but that’s not a big deal since such positions won’t exist in the game).
