More than 80% of the world’s #reefs hit by bleaching after worst global event on record
Reefs in at least 82 countries were exposed to enough heat to turn corals white. #CoralReefs are known for their high concentration of biodiversity that supports about a third of all #marine species and a billion people. Record high #ocean temperatures have spread like an #underwater wildfire over corals across the #Pacific, #Atlantic and Indian oceans.

The #LNP have a candidate problem continued…

“Speaking at a #RenewableEnergy conference in #Sydney on Wednesday, #SurangelWhipps Jr described seeing two-thirds of an island in his archipelago country disappear under water in his lifetime. “For those of us in the #Pacific who have lived through storm surges, #rising #ocean levels and increasingly high tides, the phrase ‘water lapping at our door’ is not a metaphor or a punchline. It’s our fear and reality,” he said.

The comment was an apparent reference to a 2015 incident in which #PeterDutton, while #ImmigrationMinister, was overheard on a hot mic joking with then-prime minister #TonyAbbott (#dickhead) about delays during a visit to Papua New Guinea (#PNG) , saying “time doesn’t mean anything when you’re about to have water lapping at your door”.

I saw this awesom tutorial from @stayathomedev and it inspired me to start working on my Kaiju Game idea again, I had like years ago.

This time I try to get the sense of scale and the aesthetics right before I start implementing any gameplay... let's see where this will get me.

Screenshot from a in development game, showing a airplane heading towards a two legged kaiju. The airplane is just a simple block out of some stretched capsules, while the Kaiju is fully textured using a RGB-Color Coding technique and standing in a plane with a water shader.
