Black skin in your stylized dimly-lit video game - I'm workin' on a new tutorial right now about deferred point light attenuation tricks, and, like the last tutorial, I'm using Michelle, a free model from Mixamo, but the explanation I wrote about how to light her nicely ended up being tutorial-length in itself, so I've broken it out into its own feature for your enjoyment and edification. Lighting Michelle requires such a lengthy explanation because she is a Black character.

I've shown two ways to do it, and here's a third approach! This uses a compute shader to extrude a blade of grass from each triangle on a source mesh. The blades dynamically simplify when far from the camera, helping you to create large fields, and wave with the wind too.

Songs of Conquest - Songs of Conquest is a turn based game where you build a kingdom, raise armies and control powerful magicians called wielders. You’ll quest around for loot, fight monsters, optimize build orders and strategies to pick off the enemy teams. We call it Classic Adventure Strategy, for short.

Combat will be a major part of the game. You’ll recruit troops and your wielders will command them on the battlefield. The wielders harness a magic called “The essence”. By combining your wielders skills with the essence of the troops you get access to powerful spells.
