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

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)

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.

Hi, I'm alive and I added Undertale-like textboxes to my engine. It's not an Undertale fan game, I just like the idea behind such textboxes. I like... how they type text slowly... and sound Font: vergilia PS: sorry for the mess in the background

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."

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)

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

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