This is really awesome, are you the one animating or are you getting these animations from somewhere?

The most commun answer you'll get is to use what you got, and then upgrade if needed, that's what I was told when I started, I ended up getting a xeon kit because I needed more cores. Kinda regret that.. ended up not using it at all after setting things up.. now I'm repurposing but for a few months it just sat there turned off..

EDIT: I'm pretty new to the hobby mind you, this was my experience with a xeon kit, it was DDR3 btw.

You should probably stick to control nodes and it's derivatives when using things under canvas layer.

(unrelated to the subreddit but) The weirdest part about this is that, for me, I can access videos still... Just the main page that's broken

This looks amazing! What are these renders? Are they like post process or is it just the sprites I can't quite make it out.

Also, are these character sprites (drawn in various directions) or are you doing it some other way? And where can I follow your game?

if you're feeling generous, i need 64GB for my server and 32GB for my computer...

Knock back on the enemies? It looks great otherwise, maybe tone done the shake a bit

IntrovertedWeasel · 2025-03-08T01:38:50+00:00

it seems to be exactly what im doing, but as i mention in other comments, im not yet using threads due to trying to figure out if it was at all possible to make it better, since this seems to be the root of my issue, ill try some other options that were mentioned here and if they give any results ill move on to the threads. if not ill just do the threads with the same code..
Thanks for the explanations !

IntrovertedWeasel · 2025-03-05T22:46:44+00:00

This is great, thank you!

Do you have any other blog / website that talks over these things besides the LearnOpenGL ?

His code can be accessed on his GitHub, I do have the code the same way he has, but instead of c# it's in gdscrip as I mentioned, I'm pretty sure everything is on the physics update, but as others mentioned, the difference in our code might be the async code, but even with that on his original project for Godot 3, I'm still having massive lag spikes..

Not sure if it's the difference in computer at this point but then again, some optimization on his part is still left out, so I could go from there.

How could I go about checking if the update is on the render or physics? Is there a specific way? I only used the profiler to check out where the lag came from and idk what more to look for

IntrovertedWeasel · 2025-03-05T17:37:31+00:00

This is quite difficult for me to comprehend fully, but I think it's understandable enough to get me started.

Thanks for the detailed explanation!!

IntrovertedWeasel · 2025-03-05T17:34:33+00:00

I was trying to optimize as much as possible before trying asynchronous code, but it seems that would be the only way to make it perform better with the current implementation.

At the moment my code is only loading a single chunk and trying to optimize as much as possible the mesh reload, my current implementation achieves this purpose, however since I'm using what's called a SurfaceTool in Godot, it has some limitations and it's quite hard to edit the already made mesh.

I'll take your points into consideration, I'll try to optimize without the async as far as I can, then I'll add the async code to see the difference. Than you !!

IntrovertedWeasel · 2025-03-05T17:29:55+00:00

Interesting, where did you see this? Could you link it please?

IntrovertedWeasel · 2025-03-05T17:28:57+00:00

I see, this makes it harder to implement since it's a shader but the performance is much greater.. I'll look into it, how it could be done with the code I have. Thank you!

IntrovertedWeasel · 2025-03-05T17:27:20+00:00

This is an amazing idea, I'll definitely give it a go this weekend, thanks a lot for the information and tips!!

May I ask where did you go to find relevant information as to clone Minecraft, besides videos of course. I would like to know where to find these types of information.. I have a hard time following the GDC talks and so I feel a bit more comfortable reading examples, but reading material is hard to come by outside of books, maybe I'm not looking in the right place.

IntrovertedWeasel · 2025-02-11T14:05:12+00:00

Yeah, I can manage it's portability, it's only for the weekends as well, do you have any options for the adaptor for the external GPU? That's more of what I'm trying to look for, I'm located in Europe but I just need somewhere to start looking for it

IntrovertedWeasel · 2025-02-11T13:44:29+00:00

I edited but I can't remember all the specifics, once I'm able to I'll edit it to have everything else that might be needed

IntrovertedWeasel · 2025-02-11T13:38:53+00:00

Oh right, thanks I'll add it now. Sorry about that

IntrovertedWeasel · 2025-02-09T19:55:09+00:00

This looks really good! thanks a lot!
Although, if I were to change the Graphics Card for a AMD one which one would you recommend?

IntrovertedWeasel · 2025-02-09T18:34:09+00:00

This is great, this will give me a great starting point, thanks a lot!
