The effect is based purely on local depth. As the waves approach the shallows, they get shorter and taller, until a point where they suddenly lose a lot of amplitude.<br/><br/>If the wind blows away from the shore, though, this becomes a mess. I&#39;ll need to check the gradient of the distance to the coast and inhibit the effect.<br/><br/>#GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGame #GodotEngine #Godot #ProceduralGeneration #ProcGen<br/><video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://cdn.masto.host/mastodongamedevplace/media_attachments/files/116/047/042/363/264/237/original/c3f5b015651030e5.mp4"></video><br/> 2026-02-10T15:43:37Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqstcjt5lv3h79fk7ncnry5ph8wxgndxpr7l7ap5ys8dsw8ng676ffgzyrs2q4rh8mykwwwny3ma7zh30dvc9lntcks7jygelt3xahem56dnwqtz2tn Nope, no bugs here.
