Dawn Odyssey

This project is the tech demo for the overworld of a Windwaker style RPG

where the player boats across a desert that acts similar to an ocean.

The main technical components include:

• Vertex shader terrain displacement

• Dynamic vertex normal recalculation 

• Buoyancy simulation

• Tuned boat control physics

• Infinite world size using world-space UV

• High performance through use of LODs

• Wake simulation

• Variable height zones, controllable through code

VPlanned features:

• Improved lighting

• Seamless transition from boat to player gameplay
