Your FIRST KZread video??? And here I was ready to binge your whole channel. Your game reminds of me One Our One Life in all the best ways and I can't wait to see what you develop it into. Goodluck!

If there is a day cycle in the game, adjusting the color of the water can be an incredibly powerful technique for creating an atmosphere. It is awesome.

Same with if seasons change, similar to how the environment changes beautifully in Stardew Valley! I'd love to see that implemented in a more dynamic game like this.

Oh man, having an orange tint for sunset would look amazing! Kinda like 13:45

@ Yes! A game with real seasons like Stardew/Rimworld but with the kind of gameplay found in Minecraft-type games. Minecraft gets 1000x better with a dynamic seasons mod. I can't wait for more videos and updates on the game XD I'm already hooked

It's amazing how techniques invented 4 decades ago are still in use today. Specifically, the scrolling Perlin noise. I hope someday I could bring innovation like that to this industry.

Well, you can become a mathematician or a computer science researcher. Maybe you discover something like that one day. Also, NIKO ONESHOT.

How on earth is this your first video? This is legitimately top-tier quality with interesting content and engaging presentation. Exceptionally well done, definitely earned a subscribe from me!

Good editing and organic voice-over sync up to hijack both hemispheres simultaneously and deliver A LOT of information. So well conveyed as to make an old hack want to go back and make a game.

Great work! The reason there's no built in blur though, is that generally blurring in shaders is really expensive: it's just a lot of texture reads, especially for a good quality blur. I'd suggest given that you're already doing this as a tile set, that you also prepare pre-blurred tiles to represent the foam gradient. One fun thing to try: you can pack both the sharp outline and the blurred gradient into the same texture by using different color channels, say red for sharp and green for blur. You get them both at the same time in the same texture read "for free," then unpack them using a split node!

The specular highlights was a really nice touch, it sold it a lot

It's the best water shader I've ever seen. It's amazing that you are both good at coding and art. This video is really helpful to me and I'm looking forward to your next video.

Please produce more content like this; it's truly impressive. The audio quality and graphics are top-notch! Also, consider creating tutorials for both beginners and advanced developers.

Stop being so professional and amazing right from your very first video. This really hurst my ego. Please Stop!

Great work - a nice blend between detail and that nostalgic pixel-art vibe!

as a pixel artist i love watching people make pixel art games and the dev work. its crazy this is your first video. please make more! the art on this game looks so so nice.

adding a soft glow to the white highlights on the water might give it a dreamy sort of effect hehe

Very nice! I feel heavy Sebastian Lague influences and I like it. Up there in terms of production quality as well as explaining complicated subject matter.

Thank you so much! He is definitely a huge inspiration to me

Thank you so much for the detailed devlog. Please keep sharing insights from both a developer's and designer's perspective, and continue to share the solutions you come across. Your content is highly valued and appreciated!

I love the attention to detail for the aesthetics here, showing that both technical skill in coding as well as artistic vision need to work together for a videogame to be made well.

The specular highlights look great. Very eye catching! The gradient also integrates very nicely into the desaturated color palette, great composition!

One of the best 2D pixel water shaders I've ever seen!

what an amazing DevLog, very well made! And your game looks amazing! Keep up the nice work!

Amazing video! I love watching dev logs of individual developers and this was incredibly engaging! I hope you make more; I look forward to seeing your progress!

Wow, this is incredible and so well put together. Always awesome to see more Aussie indie devs.

This is literally perfect timing. I'm currently working on a water shader for my own 2D topdown game and a few weeks ago I couldn't find any videos showing what i needed. Great video!

This was awesome. Not enough Devlogs go into this level of detail with explanations and reasoning. Thanks for creating this, it must have been a lot of work. And the end result looks so good!

Spectacular. Great effects, thanks a lot for the detailed video. Looking forward to seeing more of your game.

Insane quality for a first video! Awesome work!

Amazing work ! Really inspiring, i love your approach and the visual is stunning

This is such a nice and professional video. Sparkled some creativity inside to me. I’m waiting next videos.

This is absolutely amazing, I can't wait to see more progress in future uploads :)

This art style is really great, very nice work!

You have an excellent eye for beautiful graphics. The technical part is very fascinating as well. Great video. Thanks for sharing!

Realy cool texturing process, waiting for the next video !

Wonderful stuff! Really enjoyed seeing your process. Thanks so much for sharing it in detail. Keep up the great work 🙌

Thank you for such a nice video and good hints on how to deal with water! :) I like your art style and palette!

This is just... beautiful. Incredible work

I learned so much on shader graph, you did an amazing job describing your process! Also this game looks beautiful!

This is way too high quality for a first video. Very impressed with the shaders and the game looks amazing. I will absolutely keep tabs on this devlog. ❤

This is so awesome! This project looks absolutely amazing. Really beautifully edited video, too-can't believe this is only your first!

That looks amazing so far! What a great job you’ve done!

The water looks amazing! Excited to see more of this project in the future!

Wow this is gorgeous. Cant wait to see more!

What a well made Video, I loved it!! Makes me want to start with shader graph's too just by seeing what you did thanks!

I love your art style! I can't wait to see more dev logs for this game!

This is really impressive. Making shaders like this is away a lot of work and you did an amazing job. The rest of the game looks also very impressive. 8 directional characters, some beautiful looking trees, the use of noise on things like grass and the fantastic sprite work. This is very impressive both from a technical standpoint as form a creative one. I wish you the best of luck and look forward to the next update.

Creative approach to problem solving! Looks fantastic. Inspired me to work on my game more.

Wow, that's some of the most beautiful pixel art water I've ever seen. You're a master at this. Keep it up - can't wait to see how this game develops!

Looks really good! Also making it the shader graph equivalent of open-source by showing the final graph at the end is very much appreciated, we need more devlog/tutorial hybrids like these!

That's the best water shader for pixel art I've seen I think. Great job!

Wow - extremely cool. As others have said, I was ready to watch the rest of your videos, and was disappointed that there's none yet! Definitely subbed.

The quality of your video's are exceptional Jess! It's truly inspiring. I've been struggling having any energy to spend on the youtube side of my development journey, but you truly seem like an icon of the right way to manage your game progress.

Your whole concept here is magnificent. The gradation in the water came out perfect and the trail effect is spot on. Awesome work cant wait to see more.

Loved the work and the video quality! Great stuff. Made me want to go back to my side project.

This is looking fantastic! Really well explained and interesting video, such clever solutions! Would love to see more of your development, and good luck!

Look at the PROGRESS! This looks incredible, can't wait for more videos

Really enjoyed the video! I’m glad KZread recommended it!

This is the most beatuiful 2D water I have ever seen, that's for sure! Really excited to see what's next for your project, I think the visual foundation is already extremely solid.

glad to see your first video got some nice traction. Good luck on your journey :)

hot diggity damn. That's a solid first video. loved the technical depth without it getting boring. keep up the good work 👏

what an incredible debut video. I enjoyed all of that and think the results speak for themselves

I'm developing a similar style game at least a year behind you and boy I have a lot to learn, this looks great, keep it up cant wait to see where this goes

I am so glad KZread recommended this, the video is very professional AND the concept is awesome, I am starting a stardew valley inspired game myself

Love your style. Amazing that this is your first video. Please keep them coming.

Amazing work. I love the mesmerizing look of your game :) :) Congratulations.

Keep up the good work! You're off to a great start! I'm looking forward to the new video on the game. I want to buy it already

Technical videos tend to get boring really fast, but this one I watched from start to finish. Clear breakdown of your process, great editing and awesome result. Looking forward to future videos!

This is a really great video! Thank you and I look forward to the next.

Love the content! Getting into game development as a side project and this is really inspiring. Can’t wait to see more updates

this was some high quality video. i really enjoyed watching it and i will wait for the next one.

Definitely looking forward to these videos!

Wow, your game looks awesome and I like the idea! And technically this video is very informative and fun to watch - good job, keep it up! Looking forward to your next video..

I'm leaving a comment here so I can remember I was your 808th subscriber. Your channel is going to explode with more high quality content like this! Great job showing off shader graph. It's an area I haven't looked into very much yet, but with what I see here, I can't wait to dig in deeper!

I am really excited to see where this is headed. It already looks awesome! Keep going! ❤

That was amazing! I learned a ton and you taught in such a clear manner. Great work, can't wait to see what else you come up with!

it's so genius and yet so well explained i started to learn recently and you took away my shader anxiety

Thanks for breaking it down this makes so much more sense now. Looks fantastic!

Very impressive, I now am curious to know more about how you develop your game and the game itself. This video is top!

Holy moly the art style looks amazing 🤩

I really love final result. It really took a lot of work to make shaders create something appealing. Thanks for sharing and good luck with your journey :)

Great video! I'm looking forward to the next part!

WOW! This is great! And pixel water art is so hard to make look good (I've tried my own). Thanks for going so in depth about the shaders and explaining the video card bit, too. That pink water at the end is seriously the most gorgeous pixel art water I've seen.

Your water looks amazing! The experiment with different colors makes me hope to see a day/night cycle at some point. This was really inspiring.

The sheer quality of this video earned my subscription. 👍

Great summary. Keep it going, you're making a good job with it. Also it's nice to see chunks in a break out/tutorial video.

A phenomenally well made video! The problem and solutions are intricate and well explained, and you also considered CPU/GPU performance optimization while reconsidering moving the height map as a segmented texture. This video makes me wanna dive into trying the shader graph for my future experiments too. Thanks for the amazing video, I can't believe that it is your first. I have a lot to learn 🙂

Really great. Thanks for sharing your process

This is so well made, educational and just awesome. Keep it up ✨️

Looks really cool, excited to see more

Great video! Happy to see another game dev project from Australia. I would love to play your game with my wife. Please keep us posted on your channel if you ever present your game at any conference.

The results are really amazing.

Amazing work, beautiful game and great video!

It looks great!!! Please keep us updated ❤ and don’t give up on it!!

This deserves a lot more views and subs. I just subbed, this content is soo good ♥♥♥

Beautiful water and really great video!!

This is an amazing display of so many different skills in one video.

Holy cow this is amazing! Stunning work!

HOLY thank you so much for this video, so many other shader videos are either super generic (which is perfectly fine to learn from but hard to expand) or super secretive. Particularly i had the same problem at 8:12 for a game of mine and had no idea how i could fix it, and your solution is PERFECT. This video's super informative and the game's beautiful, I'm definitely checking it out.

Ok,I'm gonna be honest,I find your video trying to learn shaders,but now,I just saw the entire video and I LOVE IT,thanks for beeing my new favorite channel

This is awesome! It's rare to see a good looking pixel art water shader that actually looks pixel art. Good job

Looks awesome! Can't wait to play it when it comes out! Great work!

That looks bloody lovely!

The game looks awesome, cant wait to see more content.
