#GameEngine

I’ve been working on a proof-of-concept in #Rust to check if my dream #GameEngine is feasible for me to put together. You know, the one that’s supposed to support multiplayer runtime modding of the game you’re playing?

I mean, ideally, I’d get some help and input, because I’m really not that experienced in the end.

Putting together a document of “here’s what I want to achieve and what I feel like are open questions” to get people interested is really not my strong part, so the PoC is currently my way of pushing my ideas forward.

For now I decided using #Zig as the scripting language running in a #Wasmtime powered sandbox, for two reasons:

1. There’s a good chance the compiler itself will be able to run in the #WASM sandbox itself in the future. Which I feel like will be important.
2. Its meta-programming really helps with writing a clean API where some heavy-lifting is done by the compiler. Such as analyzing the script file and deciding whether to register a component and/or system for a particular script entity.

I feel like it would be nice to compile this for the web too. #WebGPU sounds interesting, gotta look into it more. Imagine inviting friends to games by just linking them to a web page?

I’m not sure if there’s a lot to share yet, but you could go over to @copygirl to check screenshots. (Or heck, even catch one of my streams.)

I know my computer is old (2015) i7 - 970 GPU - 32 GB RAM.

I bought the #Ablaze course from #p2design. Enjoying it so far.

Except I went off rails, installed #UnrealEngine 2.53 (23 GB download on a 4G+ connection) 🤦🏽‍♂️.

Went to open the provided project, suggested to do a copy due to backward incompatibility, and 40 MINUTES later unreal hasn't finished compiling shaders. 😱

Who wants to use such a bloated #GameEngine? Yeah top notch technology delivered at #snail speeds 👿😠😡

Yay it finished compiling while I was writing this 😒 Still loading though 😱😭

So as it turns out, O3DE's v23.10 #release announcement included a quote claiming #O3DE to be "the only really #open #GameEngine".

Es werde (fake)-Licht 💡 - Teil 3

Letzte Woche hatte ich Euch erzählt, dass ich in die Game Engine von #GeorgeDecker noch Beleuchtung einbauen will.

Inzwischen gibt es einen laufenden Prototypen samt Editor. Dieser zeigt, dass alles so funktioniert, wie ich es mir vorgestellt hatte. Ich muss aber noch einiges feintunen, damit man die Lichtobjekte im Level besser platzieren und auswählen kann, und einige Bugs sind noch zu fixen.

Außerdem muss ich wohl noch ein paar Objekte bauen, von denen Licht ausgeht, also sowas wie Laternen. Wäre ja doof, wenn das Licht einfach nur so da ist.

Hier ein kleines Demo-Video: https://youtu.be/yuJpbuW4MXM

In dem Video ist auch ein Geist zu sehen, der durch die Luft fliegt. Der soll selbst auch noch Licht ausstrahlen, damit man ihn auch im Dunkeln sieht.

Für die Feuer-Fackeln wäre es natürlich schön, wenn das Licht ein wenig pulsieren würde.

Und George bekommt eine Taschenlampe...

Due to recent Surges, Godot Engine has broken 50,000 Euros per month of funding. When Godot initially announced their new funding platform they were bringing in less than 24K euros per month.

Es werde (fake)-Licht 💡​

Wie bekomme ich etwas, was so aussieht wie Licht, in eine 2D-Engine?

Genauso, wie es früher in den 3D-Engines gemacht wurde, mit "Lightmaps".

Dabei berechnet man zusätzlich zur eigentlichen Grafik noch eine zweite mit den Licht-Informationen. Beide werden dann miteinander multipliziert. Je dunkler ein Pixel in der Lightmap ist, desto dunkler ist der Pixel auch in der finalen Grafik. Und umgekehrt. Pixel in der Lightmap müssen auch nicht unbedingt weiss sein, sondern können jede Farbe annehmen, womit sich dann auch farbige Lichtquellen erstellen lassen.

Dass es in der #GeorgeDecker Engine funktioniert, habe ich schon ausprobiert. Im Prototyp hatte ich eine statische Lightmap mit dunklen Pixeln und einem hellen Rechteck in der Mitte. Siehe Testvideo bei YouTube. Natürlich kann das "Licht" am Ende jegliche Form annehmen, auch sanfte Helligkeitsverläufe.

Abgesehen von der technischen Herausforderung die Lightmap zu erstellen, muss es im Editor natürlich auch Möglichkeiten geben, Lichtquellen beliebig zu platzieren. Puh, das wird viel Arbeit...

I chose #unity to build my game in but before I got started, they pulled their BS licensing stunt. I’m now looking for recommendations for a different #GameEngine. I’m a one-person newbie dev so I’d love some good tutorials too. It’s a 3D game.

Switching to another #GameEngine can be like learning another language. Apart from things like "material" and "camera", most of the terminology doesn't transfer. Someone compiled a phrasebook mapping #Unity3D terms to those of #Godot, #Unreal, #CryEngine, #Open3D, #GameMakerStudio, and #BabylonJS.

So playing around with all the Non-Unity engines, I am starting to realize that there seems to be a distinct lack of ECS-first options out there. It is either component-based (almost exactly like Unity) or some custom system of their own, e.g. Nodes in Godot. The only somewhat known engine with ECS as a first-class element I found was CryEngine/O3DE. Anyone knows any other options?

I had toyed with the idea of doing this for a while, but it wasn't until I discovered the excellent book "Crafting Interpreters" by @munificent earlier this year that I started believing it was feasible!

“100 runners starting at the same starting block will all grow tired near the same finishing line. 100 runners in a relay race will cover much more ground.”

If you are currently a Developer toying w/ the idea of building your own #gameengine, consider building on the shoulders of opensource platforms that already exist.

Hey #gamedev I'm in the market for another gamedev discord server to lurk silently in and rarely/never contribute to, any suggestions? 😅

Preferably aligned with the sort of stuff I've been working on and posting about here? #cpp #retrocomputing #gameengine #solodev

Randomly thinking about something I worked on 10 years ago, going to give it for advice for anyone who's manually #programming a #GameEngine #Sprite based #graphics from scratch...

The most efficient way to draw sprites to a layer is to run-length index them with a colorkey, meaning you have one byte for how many #pixels you're drawing, and one byte referencing the color in that sprite's palette. (#gif does this) You do this with an array of 255 32-bit ints, one per color, and by drawing the sprite in a triple for-loop: i for each line, j for each run, and k each pixel run.

The run value of zero represents the end of a line, and is handled by skipping to the next number in the i loop. The color key of 255 is transparent, and is implemented by simply skipping forward by the run length in the j loop. Otherwise, the k loop memcopies whatever value in your color map array corresponds to the index of the color key directly to the buffer.

I just recently learned about an in-development #3D #GameEngine written in #Rust called #Dotrix. While there are a couple other projects in the works (like #Bevy for instance) that are further along in development and super cool in their own right, Dotrix seems to be focused more on the 3D #GameDev experience and has it's own workflow that some may prefer.

It's not ready for primetime just yet, but they are looking to expand their community and bring in some more contributors. If you are looking for an #OpenSource project to contribute to and are excited to see more #FOSS game engines for Rust #developers on the scene, maybe give this one a look!

#Inform7 has also undergone a flurry of development very recently (which is wild when you think about how #interactiveFiction was invented in the 70s and almost totally abandoned as a genre by the end of the 80s). It just went open-source, and part of the intent is make it usable as “middleware”—ie you might code the graphical parts of a video game in a #GameEngine like #Unity, but keep all the dialogue and text and choices in Inform 7, and the two can interact seamlessly.

Come to think of it, the same thing that made keyframes slow to make 'til recently will also make it slow to travel between branches of time when the world is large

Only when you're using the proxy interface, but that's all the time when you're using a graphical frontend; have to figure the difference between what you see now and what you will see

I think I could get around this by snapping keyframes at both the origin and the destination

Did you know that #GodotEngine #gameengine has a self-contained mode? It's a way to make Godot store its config and other temp files in current directory rather than %AppData%.

To make it work you just need to create a new empty file in the Godot executable directory and name it "_sc_" (or "._sc_" on Linux).

This way you can use Godot on pendrive and be sure to have config always on the same page!

Hashtag-loaded #introductions toot for searchability, let's go:

New thread: I'm building my own game engine !

The goal is to support the needs for my custom FPS game project. 😄

Feature set goal:
- Forward(+) renderer
- Stencil/Shadow Volumes
- Portals (with recursion)
- FXAA and MSAA
- Oren-Nayar diffuse shading
- PBR Specular/Gloss workflow
- Fancy Post-Effects (ex natural Bloom, SSAO)
- HDR reflections (parallax corrected cubemap) + proxies
- Blurry glass/window (like Doom 2016)
- Parallax/Relief mapping + shadow
