Testing a new method for tall grass :)
(don’t worry, there won’t be a random square patch of grass on the beach, this is just The Test Grass)
Before, I was using the Game Boy Zelda game trick: grass is a tile, and then I just throw a grass sprite on top of the player to make it look like they’re inside it. Clever, and it’s surprisingly convincing!
But now, this uses the sprite tilting method, which I’ve been using heavily throughout, to create “3D” grass, and it works so much better than I expected. Also more consistent with the perspective I’m going with!
