Hello there!

So, this week I wasn't fooling around and continued making my game.

Finally, mapping system is (almost) done! I hadn't got nuff time though, so there's no actual map right now lol

But! I made a collision system.

#gamedev #dev


Here the system is used to check if there's a wall in the way, but it can be used in many other ways. You see, it's the way the game calculate all the interactions of the character with the world, NPCs, etc

I mean, I also kind of proud of myself. 4 years ago I tried to make a game from scratch as well, but I wasn't experienced enough, so one day I realized it was the dead end and I couldn't continue the development as the code I'd written was bad down to the bone... And that mapping system was very heavy yet it was pretty straightforward and couldn't do anything special (it literally loaded the CPU up to 70%! )


Well, some might say, "Hey, isn't that, like, the basics of any video games? Why would you post that?"

Yes, kind of. But! I'm making the game from scratch with no engine, so that's pretty big update for me. By the way, that's the problem any game developer eventually bumps into:

You did a really great-effort update, but it won't bring much attention, as the update wasn't too visual. You basically have nothing to show!

Anyway, besides the mapping and collision, I optimized the way the engine display stuff. Basically there are a few layers, each of them is a pair of two vectors (dynamic arrays). One stores the sprites themselves, another stores shaders, blending modes, etc. This system of layers allows us to chose which sprite will be drawn above another!

Thanks for reading. I'll try to make an actual map soon

Oops

It seems I forgot to add some parallax mapping when I declared the mapping system was done a few days ago.

Anyway, I've just fixed it.

The video is just test. You can add as much layers as your CPU can.

It's been a while since my last post... I needed a break.

Anyway, I made that 3D thing that's actually called "billboarding". So, in the video you can see this in action.

Now you can walk among the scary math used in billboarding and that handsome dude

Hello everyone. Well, I've finished making the lighting system. So now I'm kind of trying to make a tile map builder, and I just want to show what my game is now. (Yes, I reuploaded it, 'cuz it wasn't being liked)

Madeline is the main protagonist of the mountain climbing platformer, Celeste. The game has been praised for its visuals, gameplay, and introspective narrative. The game's creator Maddy Thorson confirmed that Madeline is trans in 2020.

Hello there. Well I tried to make a shader for my dunno-when-it-is-being-released game. It works

Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."

Wishlist the game: https://bit.ly/CritterCove

OK, hi and I am not dead btw

So, yeah, I said I'd continue development... and it was 2 months ago... yeah...

But anyway, I want to have Gamejolt achivements in my game

So currently I'm making a test programm to... test if I really can do that.

Hi, 2 years ago I said I was kinda making 3D.

It seems I made it lol. My game is 2D, but, well, I didn't mention it, but my game is supposed to be a bit "weirdcore-ish", so this simple 3D would be neat.

(Looks horrible, but I'm just testing it currently)

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

Hello there, I did it!

I made a post two days ago about making a test game that would simply "achieve" trophies that would appear on your gamejolt page (via API). And I did it!

So why not download it and enjoy 3 amazin' trophies?
