And down she goes…

The boat can now sink…

Created an animation where the boat got filled with water (just painted blue from the lowest to highest parts of the ship, in each frame). Looked bad… Tried not using blue but painting the alpha channel instead… Looked a bit better, but still terrible…

So, I decided to suck it up and I did an animation on 3ds, then extracted some frames… Doesn’t look that bad, tbh… Still needs some “splash” to it, so it looks like the boat is on water, and not floating in some netherworld… But I’ll leave that to polish time, if I have any, still lots to do to actually have a game…

I’m going to do a small break now, catch my breath, been working almost non-stop for 8 hours…

Next on the agenda, whirlpools!
