This go-around, I'll be making a proper 3D game based on collecting coins and reaching a goal. Here is what I managed to accomplish so far! For the next update, I'll be aiming to make the full map you can explore.

PS: Does anyone know how to make GIFs of your game in motion? I'm at a loss.

we now have a terrain! much prettier. the coins now rotate as well

Whoa, that looks so fancy! Cool!

(I use Gyazo GIF to take gif screenshots, it's nice and easy)

^ you can also use licecap or screen2gif. also these trees look really nice so far.

appreciated! but they're a free asset, i  had nothing to do with it

work didn't let me out until 1 AM tonight but i got some color lerping done for an exit gate for when you collect all the coins!

I've added the last of the structures and coins I intended! Currently banging my head against the exit gate I made not becoming active when you reach a certain number of coins. The only stuff left is some UI work, a victory screen, some music, and a death condition for falling out of bounds.

not sure if you got the translucency figured out but this might be useful: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/StandardShaderMaterialParameterAlbedoColor.html

i think alpha should be available on the standard material? good luck with the win logic

The game over condition, the exit gate's transparency, and the coins needed to activate the gate are all working as intended! We also now have an official name for the game - "Find And Pick Up Some Coins"

after some finagling with the zip file, here's what I got done for this jam! It's not much, but I'm glad to have finally made something presentable in 3D!
