Been waiting for an asset like this for a long time. Water this awesome is super hard. The developer of Fluid Flux https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/fluid-flux has been working on it for over a year. I must say it's beautiful. I know Horizon Forbidden West has amazing water. What other games have awesome water? Also, steam link if you want to learn more about my game https://store.steampowered.com/app/1468110/Elements/
Esdog
That makes me thirsty

Testing the physics by just flooding a blank mesh is awesome. You made a very good choice.

Abzu has beautiful water.
Findthestones
It does!!
Notenoughfish
This game? It has good water.
Findthestones
;)
HomelingRazor
Shadow of the aTomb Raider has great water too.
Findthestones
Appreciate the suggestion. Never got to play that yet
HomelingRazor
yeah it's highly cinematic. Very fun game tho
Findthestones
I loved the first one
FartingDragon
UE4? or UE5? Quite insane btw
Findthestones
This is UE4. Will switch to UE5 at some point
TheRuckestRick
Yo this simulation is dope! Perhaps add an animation to fall over when it's flowing above knees to make it more realistic?
Findthestones
Thanks! That could be cool. Working on swimming integration soon
cedrychskye
Working in UE4 still or planning on moving to UE5?
Findthestones
UE4 still right now. In no rush to move over. Shouldn't be too hard when I do. UE5 still has some features I am waiting on to be finished
carrotsonfire
Ooh that looks... Expensive, both in $$$ and processing power.
Findthestones
$$$ yes. Processing power, oddly no. Magic lol
TheSlackerKing
I was honestly half expecting her to run slower when she hit the water. awesome job man
Findthestones
Def want to implement that in deeper water
Zeplin
Glad to see the plug-in working so well!
Sanzanna
I feel like it didn't interact with/impede the player enough....that being said, it's cool. And so is that paraglider
Findthestones
Thanks! Working on more interaction
ProphetOfHumanity
Hydrophobia was built all around its water systems, you might check that out.
Findthestones
Thanks! I will
ProfBananaBread
Leela moist
MoopsyLD
really hope you keep that area and have a dam of logs etc thats blocking the water that you can release
Findthestones
I got something like that in mind ;)
xiphos0mp
I've always had a thing for certain effects in games. Water being one but fire and smoke are so hard to get right too.
MadMontyMN
Storms too. One day, I'll play a game that just because there's a flash of lightning, doesn't mean the thunder should be instant.
MyHouseOnMars
I've been pretty taken with both the water and the smoke in Valheim. It's a surprisingly beautiful game.
MyHouseOnMars
The way that smoke gathers under ceilings and gets pushed to the side, the way the water rises and you can see the glow of the sun in it...
RelartOfGivia
Snow
Kuiper
I remember during the tech demos for World in Conflict, one of the first games to have volumetric smoke. That was amazing at the time
xiphos0mp
Oh yea, first time I saw volumetric smoke blew me away!
notacobra
Why do so few games make decent fire spread!? The fire always starts, spreads to the nearest 2 things... Then fizzles out.
MIKUWEPTDANKMEMES
It has to be a real pain In the ass to program it to stop in any realistic way.
Findthestones
For me, I noticed when I had the fire spread too much it ate up a lot of resources. Trying to find a good balance
MIKUWEPTDANKMEMES
Also how does a developer map outrhe litany of different interactions between the player, the world and something complex like fire.
Samnouk
Sea of Thieves ;)
HeviSevi
From Dust has awesome water.
Findthestones
Def need to check that one out. A few people have mentioned it. Thanks!
HarryBeauner
Red Dead Redemption 2 has amazing water!
Findthestones
I need to check it out. Still haven't played. Watched tons of gameplay. Don't want to get stuck in that world lol
Sentay
Damn dude that's some good water physics, the foam and the roll is really REALLY exceptional. Very relaxing.
Findthestones
Sending those vibes to the asset creator. I can't take that credit!
Sentay
Wave Race 64 undulating water weave might be a good idea to look into if you do any larger bodies of water (since this looks expensive).
ThuglasonRails
From Dust
Findthestones
Still have to check that one out. Thanks!!
TerraKnight
looks damn nice, how's the game development progressing? going smoothly or just bugs?
Findthestones
Going great! Looking to get a playable out for testing soon!
Findthestones
YouWillNeverFindMe
Sign me up if it's closed testing!
YouWillNeverFindMe
Also, might be an idea to use surveymonkey if you want feedback on specific stuff. Up to 10 questions per survey for free version
Findthestones
Good idea!!
IwouldDieForPanko
Please let me know, looks super sweet
shrimpfriri
Sea of thieves?
hotaru251
pretty sure msot of the budget went to the water...it was so far ahead of anythign else at time.
Findthestones
Been meaning to try it out
Findthestones
Thanks!
ObeseDuck
Best water ive ever seen for sure
TorvicEsSanta
Sea of thieves water is phenomenal. I was even playing with a former Navy guy who said it was spot on.
Findthestones
Thanks. I will check it out!
TorvicEsSanta
I've never been in open ocean, so I can only attest to what the guy said.
losersmanual
Great laugh, thanks!
Gonnaderpya
I kinda hope sea of thieves figures out how to swap to UE5 for stability
thatlamer
Under what basis are you presuming the game would be more stable after a grueling engine swap to a newer less tested engine in early access?
Gonnaderpya
General reviews from various companies praising it for it's stability? Even one of the vtubers I watch is able to do hair physics with more1
Gonnaderpya
Stability. With it being a physics based game that's what my assumption is based on. I never said it would be easy, just a wish. 2/2
Timtit
Super mario sunshine, wind waker.

Still waiting on Nintendo for a damn Wind Waker port to Switch
OMGChris
Leaks say this year! https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/05/rumour-could-switch-get-zelda-wind-waker-and-twilight-princess-this-year
bandito1578
UGH I really hope so, let's all collectively cross our fingers!! I was hoping for a remake last year, but we got Skyward Sword instead :(
TheEvenPrez
I gotta say it's crazy how far water physics have come in games
Noraneko
But wait, there's more! Two minutes papers on YouTube is amazing
thornofnight
It's all downstream from here.
Findthestones
Agreed. All of the things really. Long way from OG Atari
DangrebeTheMangrebe
Right but mirror reflections are so far gone, even the most AAA doesn't do them anymore. Makes me sad
ionlyregisteredtosavelinks
Yup. Still remember vividly how excited I got for Duke Nukem's mirrors. It's just like real world!
malaroo
Huh? Actual reflections become more and more common as games start using ray-tracing. Past reflections were almost always just dupe rooms.
HighSorcerer
Yep, get you a card with RTX. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThmbsIqQKIg
FNOldGuys
In this economy?!???!
42juggalo
Camera projections.
porcinechoirmaster
Rasterization renderers are amazing, and we have a lot of clever tricks, but unfortunately it's hard to do reflections well with them.
porcinechoirmaster
You inevitably sacrifice something: Performance, quality, or both. Ray tracing is an option, but locks out the bottom 70% of market.
Isorikk
That's because they take a ton of time a cost a lot of system resources for something most players won't notice or care about.
iDrinkDrano
For a bathroom mirror type, not really You just add a second camera to the scene and output it to a 2D plane.
iDrinkDrano
It doesn't really add to render cost because all of the rendered objects are already in memory. If a game has security cameras, same trick.
Isorikk
Reflections in a mirror might make the game more immersive, but not more fun, and at the end of the day what matters more?
Sinodio
some people enjoy immersion
Isorikk
Some people enjoy mobile games, too ?♂️
Denique
As an older title, Witcher 3 has really nice water.
Ber4nger10
*chuckle* Older title... oh dear god I'm old. I think Baldurs Gate is an "older title".
Denique
Fair tbh, 7 years isn't THAT old. ;) My CPU even is older, 2011!
Ber4nger10
7 years sure sounds like a long time. It just doesnt feel like a long time anymore.
BoopedYourSnoot
I just got irrationally defensive hearing you call Witcher 3 an "older title" :P I get what you mean, but still... ouch. I'm old.
Denique
Well, my other option would have been original FarCry, I don't think that would have made anyone feel any better ;)
Findthestones
Doesn't make me feel better. But good suggestion ;)
Findthestones
Also old here lol
squiddna
Subnautica has pretty good water.
kahooki
Pretty scary water.
TheFunionKnight
I don't remember it having much water in it
LaBotte
I fucking loved that game. I've finished like a year ago and I'm already "nostalgic" when I think about it.
squiddna
Below zero is more of the same in essence while being different enough to be interesting.
LaBotte
Yeah I'm waiting for below zero because I know I'll be "sucked in" once again but it is on my wishlist for sure !

KeyMasher
Fuuuuuck mesmers. "Oh look, a new pretty fish to scan, I'll just- GHACK!!!"
notacobra
My wife had a major link for Mesmers. Combination of creature and mind control hit buttons I.. can't.
Jaybloobirbwithsquash
Link or KINK?!
notacobra
Kink**
Sh4dowWalker96
I've never actually found a mesmer. The one creature in Subnautica that eludes me.
AzraelWalker
Fuuckk they were just down the way from where I built my base. Every time I got out of the PRAWN I had to be on high alert.
Zeterai
They're fairly rare, but they are horrible to deal with.
Findthestones
Great one!
sum1ne1
It does. But OP may be referring to dynamic fluid assets judging by the video clip.
kodiak931155
When a turned a corner and got to meet a reaper for the first time there were some dynamic fluid assets in my pants. . . Does that count?
Sentay
Negative if you're wearing cloth then the dynamic fluid assets are just a wetness texture that is applied to the outside of the item.
sum1ne1
A wetmask
Sayagain
Is it as scary as I think it is?
Minterfresh
After you see everything in the deep, it stays scary.
MeanMisterClean
Depends on the person. It has some soft jump-scares, but mostly an amazing creepy atmosphere. Easily one of the best games I've ever played.
GadenKerensky
It really depends how well you handle underwater stuff. And turning around to face a big fucking fish.
IAmTheKiltCommander
It’s the dread of the unknown that gives it a truly scary feel. That and the 80-ft monsters that will tear you apart from the shadows.
squiddna
Any survival game has a certain amount of tension. The game often tricks me into thinking I'm in far more danger than I actually am.
squiddna
The atmosphere is through the fuckin roof though.
iloovechips
It's a near perfect game well worth your time
Brookimus741
When people review it they usually talk about the difference between terror and horror. It took me almost a year to finish it.
ishouldprobablybeplayingpokemonATM
it's super scary but only 5% of the tike and that diminishes as you get more used to the environment
Orein
It uses the fear of the unknown. What's down there that might eat me? Once you answer that question, even the scariest stuff is cute.
Orein
In terms of difficulty, nothing is really all that scary. You're not meant to kill the big predators, but they're also giant idiots.
gaidinbdj
Orein
Those guys are a good example of what I mean. When you don't expect them, a sudden attack is terrifying. Otherwise, they're fun to watch.
