Old Town environment: Town and Courtyards

The cobblestones remember every footstep — even the ones that never returned.

Inspired by the Dutch townscapes of Cornelis Springer — weathered facades, creaking stalls, salt air and old timber. A 19th-century harbor town, ready to walk through.

What began as a handful of courtyards has grown into a standing town: tall tenement houses now line the streets, not just the back alleys behind them.

Old Town: Town and Courtyards is a low poly environment pack — 192 prefabs, a playable demo scene, and a complete street layout for 19th-century European settings. Flat shading, palette-based texturing, LOD0/1/2. One diffuse material, non-PBR.

The package features custom shaders, including dedicated water (EA_Water) and skybox (EA_Skybox) shaders designed specifically to bring the dockside, canals and atmosphere to life out of the box.

Built for walking simulators, narrative adventures, RPGs, and mystery games.

🎮 Includes a fully playable demo scene — walk the streets, cross the bridges, explore the courtyards and dockside, and use the layout as a starting point for your own world.

🆕 What's New — The Town Update

The pack nearly doubled (110 → 192 prefabs). The headline addition: full multi-storey buildings, so you can now raise streets and façades — not just enclosed courtyards.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Stylized Grass Shader (URP)

Lightweight URP grass shader for foliage cards and terrain detail meshes. Full Paint Details + GPU Instancing support. Now ships with a dried-grass variant material for dry / late-season ground.

Wind — Per-blade jitter combined with a coherent world-XZ gust — whole regions lean together like a real breeze. Direction, speed, frequency and strength on the material.

Foliage shading — Two-sided leaves with a soft shadow lift and tunable ambient tint — dark sides never crush to black.

Dual-layer color tint — Two independent procedural layers (Tint Small for fine shifts between tufts, Tint Large for broad sweeping patches), each in Blob or Stripes mode with independently remembered sliders.

Per-layer controls — Color, Scale, Intensity, Width (coverage), Speed — all animated, flowing with wind direction.

No tint texture required — procedural value noise inside the shader, works out of the box.
