Version 1.0.0 Release
My main goal with this game was to learn shaders, and the godots shader language. In other areas Sakura Runner is a small increment over my last game (Melosaur Game) which was also an infinite runner and shares the majority of its code with this game, although the gameplay is slightly different.
In my journey https://godotshaders.com/ proved to be a great resource of source code to pick apart, the shaders for the bubble, dash trail, and death disintegration are all heavily influenced by code from the site.
As the game was themed around Silvervale it was also the perfect opportunity to feature some of her and Shanty Sharks DMCA free LoFi music from her album SakuraBeats, Vol. 1.
