Here is the latest revision of my portal as well as some tortoises to keep you company! I tuned the coloring a lot and also added a back face to them. I kinda just stumbled upon a rainbow noise texture then added a distortion shader to it, I think I like how it looks, wormhole type look, but let me know what you think!

Also do you think the tortoise environment is too dark? The trees feel very shadowy or something to me. Definitely have some more tuning to do, but if you look closely I have the map populated all over with torts

I spent a whole lot of time coding and making those tortoises move so I'll be showing them off soon, lots of behavior and scheduling stuff (when to eat, sleep, etc.) and animation tuning... I'm also working on setting up a Steam page to get this game announced soon™!

Not even like done done though... I still have some actions to add (like eating) and I still need to create the NPC behavior, but I think this is a pretty good start! This will be for the planty portal game as well as Tundra! It was nice to get an animal that I can use in both games so it's cool whales have such a wide range of travel, Antarctic to Arctic for a lot of them! I might need to do some more tuning on the breach (jump out of water) behavior because it's a massive blue whale, but not sure yet

Just wanted to share one of the other portal variations I worked on! I've since scrapped this one because it felt way too busy and not really clear what was going on. The original idea was to have a door and door frame grow out of plants and open up to the new world, which I think worked but I think there's just too many moving parts... Also the other world door was on backwards which probably doesn't help...

Should I revisit this one? I think the newer versions are a lot better but curious if anyone has feedback

This is my first Tortoise (looks like a Craigory to me) being added to the game with the portals! Working hard to get to an announcement point, but almost done creating my tortoise controller! I've just got a few bugs to fix like the tortoise refusing to move or flying in the air, the usual stuff
