Happy May, everyone. As Spring begins to finally come to the States, we approach the season of outdoor activities — hiking, camping, picnics, and the like.

This week I finally implemented SSAO! It's pretty basic, but it works. Check out the effect source code here . It's a big deal for me because I tried it once before and it came out like this: I'm also still working on the player model. I think it's close to being in a usable state. What do you think?
