I can’t believe you soloed this project. It made me think a lot of Mario 64 like you mentioned. You had the shaders load ahead of time. I should have done this on my entry but it only lags 2 -3 seconds one time so I choose to do more polish instead. Really beautiful world.

Thank you! I already have a development pipeline, and with each jam I try to build on the systems I made for previous entries. That way, I can focus more on the game itself without having to reinvent everything from scratch, like menus, navigation hints, save systems, and so on. It really helps when you have so little time to make a game haha!
