Silksong is finally here and with it numerous new areas to explore filled with beautiful hand painted art. How does a game like this actually work behind the scenes and how can we use shaders to fix some common problems plaguing them?

Topics covered: Painter's algorithm, depth of field, parallax mapping, particles, bloom, color banding, bayer dithering and debanding, interleaved gradient noise
