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

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

OK. So, hi there. I'm alive, don't worry

But you see, my last post was 1 year ago, so yeah.. I panned to finish the main part or my engine (so it can properly build a solid game) by the August, but due to some life circumstances I even wasn't able to do

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.

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.

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)

Happy Video Game Day!

July 8 is Video Game Day, a holiday that's obviously close to our hearts at Game Jolt.

Celebrate by completing our quests! They won't be around long, so get the rewards while you can.

Hello there. Long time no see, I suppose. Well I kind of made the portrait for my game main character. What do you think?

:-P

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)
