2024-11 RageRooster monthly summary focusing on delivering visual fidelity, performance, and foundational animation capabilities across the environment. Key features delivered include texture tiling improvements with a dedicated tiling shader graph, window frame LODs for scalable distant rendering, parallax occlusion mapping to enhance material depth, and a finalized platform system with materials. Significant environment content was added and wired into the landscape, including wheat wall, rocks, trees, platforms, and mushrooms, alongside leaf shader and wind effects for foliage. An initial animations system was established to enable asset motion. Substantial stability and physics improvements were achieved through fence collision and enhanced material tuning for sheet metal. Overall this month laid a strong foundation for future content and reduced art rework while delivering high fidelity visuals and scalable performance. Major bugs fixed: addressed tiling reliability across materials by implementing a dedicated tiling shader graph; tuned sheet metal base color/brightness for consistent visuals; added collision to fence prefabs to ensure proper physics interactions.
