Hi guys,

I want to showcase my work on rendering water and terrain in a procedural manner using a lot of tricks. You may try it on [https://pirratas.com](https://pirratas.com)

The textures we used to render the terrain, the water caustics and foam and some random textures for uv displacements and so forth. We also use the depth buffer as a pre render phase to render foam on dynamic objects. This was explored and used previously on these forum, thank you.

We do a lot more with our engine, resource management, space partitioning, collision detection, object editing, hightmap drawing on a canvas and so on. To further details you might be interested on watching our editor and explanations on youtube: [https://youtu.be/SNuoLlCsWYU](https://youtu.be/SNuoLlCsWYU)

Thank you

The demo and final game will be localized in chinese. The idea is to have a fully working demo of 21 short level for the end of 2024. We will need testers 😁

The ship is from our artist, the rest is mine and subject to change. I want to lunch a game in steam in 2025 or 2026. Thank you for your feedback, please consider joining our discord server or social accounts for updates [https://discord.gg/gWPdfwFKqJ](https://discord.gg/gWPdfwFKqJ)
