Just a quick update to prove I'm still alive


Actual progress: High level fleet commands

“Keep micromanagement to a minimum” is one of my core design principals. Fleets can now be controlled with high-level commands. Launch fighters, prioritize xxx target, etc. Of course you still have precise control over your own ship, and other players can still control theirs.

It’s not pretty, but here’s a little action after issuing the “launch fighters” command:

The big cube in the corner is a teleporter that leads outside. Again, not pretty. And pay no mind to the floating laser cannons…

Technical junk: Evaluating online multiplayer

A couple people asked for it, I feel like the game needs it, so over the last few weeks I sat down for a proper evaluation.

First off: It’s going to slow me waaaay down. That ~October alpha quickly becomes December-March. But it’s not like there’s a mob of screaming fans lining up to be disappointed or anything.

Things I needed:
-Maximum control over serialization
With large battles every byte counts.

-Security by design
I’d like to ship with source code + PvP

After testing multiple solutions, I decided my best option was to write a custom wrapper over Godot’s NetworkedMultiplayerENet. It’ll require engine-side changes for security reasons, but nothing too complex.

So yeah, I’m doing it! Goodbye October alpha. Hello 2019.

So

i may or may not make an full art of some person or i may just leave this like that-

Finished a project I've been working on over the last few days!

Modeled and textured in Blender.

#3dart #lowpoly #npbr #fantasy #hut

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

So here's the first of the zodiac signs i will make for the next weeks.

My D&D art for my family so far (WIP if you couldn't tell)

I mostly build 3D First Person Shooter game mechanics in Unity, and in this I'm just showing C4 mechanics I made for a little side project I am working on! :)

OK, this starts to be too tricky puzzle already :D

Annie of the stars

A calm and quiet day.. Made surreal by the feeling of finding an elven building in the mountains, and wondering of its purpose and story. I built this elven style house and it was my first attempt at something like this, but what do you think?
