Fire Shader Breakdown - A fairly common method of creating fire is to use a particle system, however many transparent quads produces overdraw which can affect performance, especially for VR and mobile platforms. Rather than using a particle system, a different approach to fire is a quad which faces the camera, where a noise texture is used to warp the UVs for sampling another texture (or generated ellipse / teardrop-like shape).

RPG Devlog part 6 - DESTRUCTION - Explode Barrels & More - Will Unity break? | Make a RPG in Unity | - My name is Leon and I'm a german indie gamedev working on a RPG.

Something about my game: The RPG is based on the book I'm writing and will lead you through the story in a different way the book does but not only because of the general differences between games and books. In the game you'll have the opportunity to make decisions, which can not only cause little, but also dramatically changes in the story, while the story of the book is already written. For more informations about the game mechanics, features and stuff like this watch the upcoming devlogs. So stay tuned and maybe if you like what I'm creating you'll write your own story when i published the game.
