We'd been struggling to reach frame rate goals, so we decided to re-work our tree and foliage shaders -- early tests are showing a 20-25% reduction in GPU time! #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity

Re-worked the ice shader with a new shine to look more "ice like" and tested taking the subsurface scattering further. Thanks for the feedback on our ice cave! #indiedev #indiegame #madewithunity

Experimenting with new lighting and subsurface scattering in the ice cave. What do you think -- cold enough? 🥶 #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #indiedev

The most common question we got from the demo: ❓ "Why have food to collect if you can't do anything with it?" 🅰 It will have a purpose, but the new mechanics don't get introduced until 5-10 mins past the end of the demo.

We spent way too much timing fine-tuning our snow glitter to have semi-realistic light refraction instead of just white glitter. Nobody's likely to notice, but we enjoy knowing it's there! #indiedev #madewithunity #indiegame

I tried out the demo for #ArcticAwakening and it was such a nice vibe! Our little robot companion was also a delight 🥰 @goldfirestudios.com youtu.be/MUkB0OvW8GI

Not exactly the most useful KPI, but we thought it'd be fun to track how many steps were taken during Next Fest. Turns you all got off the virtual couch and took 7,835,848 steps last week in your exploration of the Alaskan wilderness!

Did you miss our demo during Steam Next Fest? It's okay, we missed a bunch of demos too... so we're keeping ours up for a while longer!
