#gamedev folks:

I want you to tell me about your game.

This is a passion project for you; I want to share that passion. What's going well? What isn't? What makes you excited about it?

When your game is out, tell people! What kind of game is it? What makes it fresh? I'm not a hard sell, but I need some reason (even a flimsy one!) to justify buying it.

Just like live music is better than recordings, it's 10x more fun to play a game when you know the dev. I love games - tell me about yours!

OH NO 😱

Using larger camera FOV (80 degrees in the video, previously 60 degrees) would make height differences more visible and the terrain more "readable" but somehow it doesn't feel right.

In normal top-down game with flat ground I would go with very low FOV but that does not work here.

I could make it adjustable but I still need to pick a good default.

Interesting how custom resources work in #Godot and how they make a lot of stuff much easier! I always used JSON files to store game data and then had to read the files from disk and parse them. Trust me, resources work much better and have a lot of features.
If you didn't use them yet, check them out in the official docs:
https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/scripting/resources.html

Of course, you can find also a lot of examples and tutorials online, since the official docs lack a bit of real examples.

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...

Wow, Unity seems to have done a complete about face in their licensing scheme. That's good. Seems a lot more transparent and balanced now.

https://www.pcgamer.com/nvidia-calls-time-on-native-res-gaming-says-dlss-is-more-real-than-raster/

"Raster is a bag of fakeness" is a very neat way to say "fuck your games because they don't help us sell GPUs" to devs who prefer to create stylized worlds that rely more on gameplay and conscious visuals to provide a fun experience.

Imagine being an art director and having to prepare for various kinds of AI GPU chips with AI frame generators: what will my game look like with this renderer or that renderer?

A really awesome add-on that I found on the Godot Asset Library (so you can install it directly from the editor), is "Rebuild C# Project On Focus".

It's a super simple addon that triggers a rebuild of the dotnet project when focus is restored and it detects a file change. It's incredibly similar to Unity's functionality and is a real time saver because I forget to rebuild all the time!

My robot is sad.
It is sad because:

1. It had this annoying line hanging over its head all evening.

2. I jump down the rabbit hole and tried to find as many fixes as possible instead of just one.
And thus forgot to connect the sad little robot to it's programming menu so it can start moving again.

If I was a game dev I don't know if I could trust Unity. They showed you what they want to do and it took MAJOR pushback to reverse course. Easy to say when it is tools I don't personally use but this would leave a very bad taste in my mouth.

In early 1993, Commodore hadn't released hardware specs for the new AGA Amiga computers. So me and my game dev partners (known as 'Team Hoi' back then) decided to create a demo trilogy, using self-discovered AGA chipset features.

The second demo was called 'Mindwarp', and I still love to listen to our music composer Ramon Braumuller's 4-channel soundtrack.

The first game I made in Unity was Bees 'n' Trees, I figured I'd remake it in Godot as my first game there as well.
I have just finished the final fixes and uploaded the Godot version to the itch.io page.
I would say it turned out better, but that's probably just cause I'm a more experienced dev as a whole now :P
Overall quite happy with Godot, though am yet to try anything involving 3D.

If you think the Runtime Fees and Limits won't change again to be worse in a few years you are very silly. But this time they'll be more widely accepted and harder to argue. #Unity3D #Unity #Gamedev #Indiedev

The Unity's new "softened" pricing and policy changes are NOT good enough and they don't fix anything.

The dreaded "runtime fee" stays!
The nuts CEO & board stays!
They got what they wanted.
They WILL do this again.

Self-reported install counts will still be a nightmare and I am sure Unity will track this silently anyway.

Unity already twice silently altered their ToS.
Another "pinky promise"? SUUURE.

Finish your Unity games, and never look back.

#Unity has walked back their runtime fees, but the damage to the brand is already done. I'm sure developers will always have in the back of their heads "when will Unity try this again?" and not use Unity going forward.

Subtle art trick: terrain rim highlighting. Edges facing away from the camera get a little brighter.

Since this art style is watercolour-inspired, I’m letting the “paper colour” shine through as the highlight, as if the edges aren’t quite fully coloured in.

#gamedev #feedback

Gentlefolk of the #GameDev committee, I'd like to introduce: the new single most important macro in my #UnrealEngine codebase

Hi everyone. Something I'd like to open for discussion.

I am the head of community for Microsoft game dev. I just started in August, but I come to the table with decades of experience in community, social media, platforms, and gaming. One of the things I've inherited is a social strategy and community strategy that is entirely focused on Twitter as the primary source of community engagement. With Twitter melting down on a daily basis, it's my job to talk to game devs where we live, and I'm trying to see if Mastodon is a viable place to engage with the #gamedev community that is focused on Microsoft tools and Xbox. But, would a brand dev voice be welcome here? How would the gamedev community feel if myself, and my team, were on Mastodon helping foster and support and celebrate the game dev community that has fled Twitter?

Open to ideas and feedback, also open to being told "terrible place for this"
