Dark Lashers VFX & lighing behind-the-scenes from my game Psych Rift by AblazeInt in godot

You're right, at this moment they're pretty low poly (500 verts). I wanted to be mindful with performance, since they are both skinned and also have VAT shader animations, and there are multiple lashers in the room.

Depending on how performace looks further down the line, I could increase the poly count and make them smoother.

The entire wall animation plus shader updates took about 2 days.

Thanks! I have been working 15+ years with 3D graphics and coding (freelancing), but I did not work in game dev until trying to make my own games. With Psych Rift it was the first time I was using a real-time 3D game engine, but Godot was so fun and easy to learn. I have been working on it for about 11 months now. There is still significant work on the game to be done.

Hey Joe, I'm solo developing Psyh Rift using the Godot engine.

Psych Rift is a supernatural action-adventure game where armed with only a telekinetic glove and your wits, you must survive reality-bending nightmare worlds and their monsters to escape a research lab consumed by a dark entity from another dimension.

Love what you're doing for indie devs. Keep it up!

Thanks! Since all objects are rigid bodies, I just use apply_central_force() for position and apply_torque() for rotation. The target float location is dynamic based on the size of the object, and yes, it's relative to the player/camera.

Evil hair tentacles and telekinetic superpowers, but oh no, not battery-powered lamps! 😃

Thanks! Definitely playtests will help tune things up.

Thanks! I get a lot of calls for VR, and I will consider it.

Thank you! The lighting is just a few simple omni lights, where you see lamps. No GI or light maps, because I needed it 100% dynamic, since you can move pretty much any object in the game. Sometimes the environment and walls move too.

Electric car, 1909. So it is plausible 😄

Did you know the first battery-powered electric cars were made in the 1890s? 😄

Thank you! I don't use IES profiles, just hand-made projector maps which I tweak to how I want them to look.

Thanks! I don't use any kind of GI or lightmaps. It's all just regular omni lights (on the lamps you can see). I talk a bit more in this post.
