How I Created 2D Pixel Art Water - Unity Shader Graph

Welcome to my very first YouTube Video!! My name is Jess and I’m a software developer from Australia. In this video I showcase the water I made for my game and all the juicy technical details behind it.

My game (name tbd) is a top-down 2D pixel-art style sandbox that uses procedural generation, inspired by games like Stardew Valley and Minecraft. I’ve been working on it for a few years now so I thought it was about time to start sharing some progress! Would love to hear what you think so far :)
