I’m curious to know more about how the terrain visuals were created, they look really unique and cool. Love the color palette and overall aesthetic on this.
The particle effects are so satisfying too.
Nice work!.

Thanks, the source for the terrain system is up here: https://github.com/chadams77/LunarOasis/blob/main/main.cpp#L802 (line 802-914). Basically the levels are stored as a 64x64 grids of numbers, which on level start is turned into a 512x512 height map by randomly applying depth sprites for various sizes of rocks such that empty parts of the grid are not filled, then a 64x64 window is rendered every frame and some basic lighting is calculated and the terrain is shaded. For destruction the heightmap is modified in real-time.
