Spite: Threads of Fate
𝙃𝙐𝘿 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙘𝙚𝙨
I made the HUD shaders in the game. The HP and "Spite" resource uses the same shader but with different color, scale and movement of the textures.
The same goes for the XP bar and enemy HP bars.

Player and Boss Attack Swing + Blood Splatter.
I also made the indicators for enemy attacks. In addition to the vignette shader which changes color when damaged.

Utilizing vertex colors to mask out vertex displacement in the build up and a combination of shaders and our in house particle system, Probably the most layered effect I made for this project.

By reusing the UV "spherification" from the HUD orbs I was able to create a shield bubble using only billboard particles.
𝙇𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙥𝙚
For the ground shader I used vertex color and a splatmap to mask out the different texturesets since we used cliff pieces as building blocks the sides shouldn't have the splatmap projected onto it.

We used a combination of local particle fog and a depth based large scale fog to cover up the background of the world. Both shaders uses noise textures scrolling over eachother.

Spite: Threads of Fate
"As a fallen shieldmaiden denied Valhalla, you awaken in Helheim with nothing but your hammer and fury. Fight through the undead hordes and reweave your threads of fate."
'Spite: Threads of Fate' was the first project I participated in in my Tech Art education at 'The Game Assembly'. As part of that project, I learned how to work in a custom engine, engaged further with the graphics pipeline, and write shaders in HLSL. Together with my fellow TA Åke Sjögren (https://www.akesjogren.com/) we concepted and implemented shader and VFX solutions in the game.
It was a challenge in many ways since neither I nor Åke had any experience in writing HLSL before working on this project. Also working in an engine in active development is a challenge on its own. But we had good interdisciplinary communication and managed to produce a solid product based on the circumstances.
