Thanks! I'm of course simplifying somewhat, but that was mostly out of a need to keep the CPU to Shader/SDF data conversion simple, for performance reasons in more complex areas. Maybe I'll do a proper breakdown if there's interest and I find the time. 😄

They are bounding boxes that get their edges smoothed within the shader. If I need more complex shapes, I use multiple smaller boxes. :)

Its almost entirely shader based! More specifically, each discoverable map section is defined as a Signed Distance Field and an Enum denoting its completeness. Then the shader interpolates between each area based on that.

Makes complete sense, thanks for the insight!

Thanks! Is there any specific reason you prefer it?

I'd be honored. @falsebracket.bsky.social

Thanks, having the camera be dynamic in the way it prioritizes framing the environment, enemies, dialogue, etc, is a system that I've put a lot of time into. Particularly in stacking/blending the various situations. So its always great when people notice!

Thanks so much!
