    And

  2. Jace

    next to

  3. Ben

    that, it's the rivers.

    So we're also redoing all the rivers.

    Currently, they look a bit samey.

    You cannot really tell much from it.

    It just looks a bit boring.

    They don't have fancy reflections like they have now.

    So all our water surfaces are going to have screen space reflections.

    which is going to look juicy.

  4. Jace

    Oh, that's nice there.

    You can see it.

  5. Ben

    Yeah.

    And also

  6. Jace

    I

  7. Ben

    added some additional functionality to it for the level designers.

    So I added functionality in C++ that they can scale and then the water

  8. Jace

    gets calm.

    So they can just change how... Is that like per spline or per point?

    Yeah, it's per

  9. Ben

    point.

  10. Jace

    Cool.

    So it can be like busy at the beginning.

    Nice, nice, nice.

  11. Ben

    And the additional feature with that is, I need to go in game for that.

    I'm totally not cheating.

    It's still a bit laggy.

    The player is being pushed.

  12. Jace

    Oh, okay.

  13. Ben

    We have flow rate.

    Oh,

  14. Jace

    there we

  15. go.

  16. Jace

    Dude, that's so cool.

  17. Ben

    Yeah, definitely.

    You can also use it as a gameplay element.

    So if you have a hawk near you, you just jump and it will go into the water, get drifted off.

    Which I'm going to show with our beautiful bastards here.

  18. Jace

    Oh, no.

    I was wondering why you weren't showing us what was going on at the top.

    No.

    I

  19. Ben

    made it maybe a bit too much, but...

    There

  20. Jace

    we go.

    I think it's fine.

    This guy just saw his friends, others two of them, just get murdered.

    Well, they lucked out.

    They did not luck out.

    Okay.

  21. Ben

    So yeah, that's something I've been working on.

    It's a fun thing.

  22. Jace

    Cool.
