Updates:

• Lighting: Brightened the lighting so that it is no longer a dim nighttime scene. The environment just wasn't ready to be put in the dark yet but eventually, there will be a day and night cycle. For now, the scene is set in the daytime so that the colors of the garden can stand out more and be appreciated.
• Post-Processing Revamp: Previously the environment did have Post-Processing but it was just a little too much and very unnatural. The goal of this change was to brighten the dark areas of the environment, not over-saturate the environment with unnatural color tones, and add a little bit of a cinematic/stylized "pop."
• Water: No more flat-surface-plane-blue-colored-untextured-prototype water. Now there is an animated water shader that provides a gorgeous addition to the garden. Be assured, more work will be done to it in the future but now the water looks like water.
• More Grass: Grass has been added to more parts of the garden grounds and with a few modifications to improve its visual appearance.
• TREES & Books: 3 new trees have been added to the environment and as will continue for all new plants, these trees come with their own books which can be found on the bookshelf. Play the game to find out which trees have been added and learn a few interesting facts about them.
• Camera FOV: The camera FOV has been adjusted to provide a broader and more realistic viewing angle as you walk around the garden.

The purpose of this project started out because I wanted to learn how to make a game more visually appealing. This adventure has been pretty enjoyable so far and I am happy to see the progress that I've made with it recently.
