Interestingly, arrows are much more effective underwater than even bullets

[@Future-Frost]

This is looking really good! I recommend looking into water caustics; adding a bit of them could help really sell the effect. They can be recreated with a reasonably cheap performance cost using some image or animation files.

[@sacredforestgame]

Thanks! Will do :)

[@Future-Frost]

@@sacredforestgame Glad I could help! I'm excited to see where this project goes.

[@carloss1536]

Well done! Water interactions is some of the most important things for me in games, I love this

[@_gamma.]

The intro transition into the water 🤯 well done!

[@peyton4719]

4:55 maybe you could create a bow upgrade thats more harpoon ish for underwater shooting proficiency that you could find somewhere in the world

[@stephenreading2089]

I love the Music that plays at the beginning of these Devlogs

[@spellseer]

Coming along, coming along nicely!

[@LudiminalGames]

Love your unique style of 3D + pixel art

[@nerdchomp]

Water looks great! Especially with the character interaction

[@AndrewMilesMurphy]

Nice use of sprites with models, I bet this take on textures will be great also

@@sacredforestgame Really like the devlogs, look forward to playing the game.

[@hmmmm8816]

That's a really cool game

[@jeanprofite4341]

4:30 pls make the bubbles smaller and coming out of the mouth :'(

[@tiefensucht]

The ego mode with the bow looks extremely nice, but the 3rd person view, I don't know, the design doesn't look like it belongs here. I would make it less pixelated.

[@ruolbu]

really cool

[@sacredforestgame]

Thanks! :)

[@cofeintea]

0:47 This feels somewhat ironic. Great job nontheless.

[@youngthando]

This is the best thing I have seen in 2025

[@itsafish4600]

finally

[@saltyman5603]

What's the reason for hyper-realistic 3d graphics, but a 2d, pixel art character? It's strangely jarring.

[@wkornf]

can your AI swim and fight your player while underwater or at the surface?? this is mostly just graphical stuff.

[@eltonwild5648]

Hey, music composer watching this interesting project. Do you need help creating an immersive soundtrack?

[@magnus69]

Can you add amongus

[@sacredforestgame]

I've been thinking about doing that but I haven't decided yet :)

[@eugenechelovechniy]

why not make the whole world in 2.5d like daggerfall? this mix of realism and 2d pixel art looks unpleasant
