    This reminded me, there's a subject that (I think) hasn't been much touched on in tutorials: how to add options to change game settings at runtime, like graphics, sound volumes, player controls, etc.

      That's right, though actually for that our teammate just started working on experiments. Rather than a video, as you can make something pretty reusable, we're considering making an open-source addon/asset.

    Look like Exponential Shadow Mapping for Godot v4.x , with blur filltering passing.
    Maybe more for the contact shadow ... adaptative bias or something like that.
    Anyway, shadows look fine and smoothy in Godot 4 ^^

    Shadows are interesting, because short of RTX they still look like ass even on triple A titles if you stop and look at them. Having done some work on them in the past I know why and it's honestly impressive what they can be.
    Sadly I still prefer the classic oval "shadow" over a blocky/low res shadow. Nowadays we can probably go a bit beyond that, I'm interested in experimenting in making advanced simple shadows by taking a low res blocky engine shadow, smoothing it out a lot until it has basically a 1 edge blob, then upping the resolution and sharpness so it's a HQ blob.

    • @skaruts
      @skaruts Рік тому +2

      I think the best shadows I've ever seen are those in The Dark Mod. They're just perfect as far as I can tell, although they're also kind of expensive. Doom 3 used "volumetric shadows" (I think that was the name), and I think TDM expanded on that, but I could be wrong.

      @Shefetoful Рік тому +1

      @@skaruts had a look at The Dark Mod and I'd agree they're way up there in quality. But I was talking about like Mario Sunshine, where most characters just get an oval or two and Mario's shadow is just like 9 ovals.

    Shadows are better for sure - but with the other light nodes, shadows break with animated meshes on static meshes. There's an issue to address it. Hopefully that gets fixed soon.
