#BitcoinBullRun - the infinite runner game, that is - just got some visual improvements - see the Before and After screenshots here... Watch for the YouTube video this weekend, where I'll go into the vibe-coding I did to make the improvements. ("Make it mor gud" didn't really cut it) v1.1 also has a whole bunch of other new features and topical "satire" (as I like to call it 🙄) Full list of improvements below! There'll be a v1.2 next week with whole new levels, gameplay modes, and still more improvements. The #1 goal is to keep the game FUN, of course. Play the game - works well on phones in full-screen: mafftopia.com/bitcoin-bull-r… (Also, there's no sign-up or (shudder) payment required, just turn up and play!) btw this isn't EVERYTHING that went into 1.1, but here are the highlights: * Tarmac roads with surface detail in NY Financial District, Pamplona and Dubai * Puddles with reflections * Camera widens with speed and banks into bends * A boost vignette at the screen edges * Soft shade at the foot of buildings, walls and cars * Neon brightened by the sky, with a slow pulse, and glowing pickups * Bloom on the high quality tier * Baked ambient occlusion on the props in each level * Shadows on the ground under the bull, people and cars. * A sun shadow for the bull on the high quality tier * Speed lines fade as the camera nears them * Objects like the Ramen power-ups fade to transparent so they don't block the camera view * Sun direction set for each level's sky * Textures stay sharp when seen at an angle * Reflections taken from the sky picture * A rim light on the bull * Dust from the hooves: stride puffs, landing dust and the skid * Sparks and debris on impacts, with knocked people bursting debris in their own colours * Particles drifting in each level's air, with flyers and dollar bills in NY, confetti in Pamplona, etc * Use the ` key to grab an instant screenshot And performance - three quality tiers, high, medium and low, which the game steps down through when frames stutter or drop below 30 fps. #Bitcoin #SubwaySurfers
