How I Fixed the Ocean in My Pirate Game

Pirates spend a lot of time on the ocean, so the ocean better look good! It's time to give my pirate game's water an overhaul and make it look much better.

It's been nearly a year since the last devlog, and I figured that improving the pirate game's water graphics would be a good way to ease myself back into working on the project, so I do exactly that in this video. I added a masking system to the underwater fog so that it works properly even when half of your screen is submerged and the other half isn't, and I added reflections and refraction, which have _significantly_ improved how good the water surface looks.
