    1. Ben

      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.
