1
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,577
Here's Gem Island, the starter game.

2
00:00:05,583 --> 00:00:07,586
Let's make it pretty, without any code.

3
00:00:07,789 --> 00:00:08,973
First, a sea:

4
00:00:08,973 --> 00:00:12,056
in the 3D View's header, open the Add menu.

5
00:00:12,633 --> 00:00:13,905
Choose Mesh,

6
00:00:15,567 --> 00:00:16,699
then Plane.

7
00:00:18,067 --> 00:00:19,699
A small plane appears.

8
00:00:19,704 --> 00:00:22,311
Open the Add Plane panel at the bottom left:

9
00:00:22,351 --> 00:00:24,401
it adjusts what you just added.

10
00:00:24,967 --> 00:00:26,848
Set its Size to two hundred metres:

11
00:00:26,848 --> 00:00:28,607
water all around the island.

12
00:00:29,167 --> 00:00:31,686
And set its Z to minus zero point three,

13
00:00:31,686 --> 00:00:33,968
so the water sits just below the lawn.

14
00:00:34,533 --> 00:00:36,223
Now turn on Game in the header.

15
00:00:36,367 --> 00:00:38,062
The Scene view draws the level with the

16
00:00:38,062 --> 00:00:40,867
game's own renderer, as players will see it.

17
00:00:41,433 --> 00:00:44,382
The sky and sun come from GameStudio's sky kit,

18
00:00:44,382 --> 00:00:47,256
which has no panel, so ask Claude Code:

19
00:00:47,296 --> 00:00:49,601
a warm sunset with light fog.

20
00:00:49,688 --> 00:00:52,033
It switches the sky to its sunset preset

21
00:00:52,033 --> 00:00:54,970
with a lower sun, and turns on the world's mist,

22
00:00:54,970 --> 00:00:57,380
which the game draws as fog.

23
00:00:57,933 --> 00:01:00,261
There's the sunset, fading into the haze.

24
00:01:00,348 --> 00:01:02,003
Now turn the plane into water.

25
00:01:02,008 --> 00:01:04,685
In the Properties, open the Material tab

26
00:01:05,267 --> 00:01:06,539
and click New.

27
00:01:08,333 --> 00:01:10,301
Scroll down to the Game panel.

28
00:01:11,433 --> 00:01:12,698
It picks the game shader that

29
00:01:12,698 --> 00:01:14,574
draws this material in the game.

30
00:01:14,661 --> 00:01:16,559
Open the Game Shader menu.

31
00:01:17,133 --> 00:01:20,123
The library's thirty-three shaders come in groups.

32
00:01:20,163 --> 00:01:21,377
Open Water

33
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:23,857
and choose Water.

34
00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:26,636
Scroll down to its settings.

35
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,055
The defaults already look good.

36
00:01:29,060 --> 00:01:32,201
For an open sea, set Wave Length to fifteen metres.

37
00:01:32,767 --> 00:01:34,596
Now press F5 to play.

38
00:01:35,500 --> 00:01:37,422
Click Play on the title screen.

39
00:01:38,867 --> 00:01:40,208
There it is in the game:

40
00:01:40,214 --> 00:01:42,733
warm sunset light, haze in the distance,

41
00:01:42,733 --> 00:01:46,466
and waves rolling in around the island, all without code.

42
00:01:46,472 --> 00:01:48,544
Press F8 to stop.
