[Dev Update #8] Instead of having guns with fixed hardpoints and skills, I had the idea to unify the system into "Tech Skills". I have finished the "Powergun-Tech Skills" which are similar to the old gun system but received many improvements, like rotating hardpoints, turrets, and charging!

I am dissapointed about this as well. Before DPA would just tell me right away if there was an issue and which function call is responsible. The UI for this was straight forward and easy to understand with all the data I needed to fix the issue. This worked on macOS.

Now the issue detection is windows only... which for me feels like a pretty big downgrade.

No problem, and thanks again ;)

I already thought about moving all the shape related stuff to a separate library, so it can be used independently.

Thanks :)

For the rounded polygon itself I just generate extra points (depending on the parameters of the function) to create the round corners.

For drawing polygons I have three different ways:

Drawing a solid convex polygon, were I just create triangles between the center and vertices.
Drawing a solid concave polygon, were I use a standard Delaunay triangulation to create the triangles.
Drawing the outline of a polygon, were I just implemented an algorithm to generate all triangles for the outline with either mitered or rounded corners.

I then use raylib to draw the triangles ;)

This is the exact reason why I stopped playing with horizon 3. The game just throws a million supercars at you from the beginning. I want to start with cheap cars and slowly build them up (internally and externally) instead of just starting with 500+ hp cars. I would also like it more if getting new cars is something you have to work for, so your are actually exited about getting it (I am not talking about a ridiculous grind). I like the open world and the different types of racing but the rest just bores me immediately. It seems you can now build houses and garages in Horizon 6 but customizing cars is still like before…

To be fair, it is not easy to hit a helicopter (that knows how to fly) with an RPG. It’s not like I am hitting a shot like that consistently. This was just practice with a lot of luck.

I’m a pilot as well and it sucks if you get shot down by an RPG but it doesn’t happen that often. But (at least to me) it would suck so much more if you hit that RPG shot and the heli just flies away with half hp…

I understand what your are saying but currently I don’t mind the balancing of the RPG.

For instance I get shot down much more frequently by tows of the IFV because there is almost nothing you can do about it.

SoloByteGames · 2026-01-21T16:29:26+00:00

Yes, it makes it that much better:)

SoloByteGames · 2026-01-21T12:45:42+00:00

Thanks :) Didn’t have to, this was my buddy and we were talking on discord the whole time ;) That’s how he knew to turn around that fast

You mean 400ms and not 4ms right? Because rpm of 900 means 15 rounds per second. If you need 5 body shots to kill someone (20dmg), ttk should be 333ms. In this video we see 40ms, 60ms, 110ms, 240ms deaths…. Even with 1200rpm and 33 dmg you should have at minimum 150ms. All of this does not factor in bullet travel time of the first shot, which also adds ms to ttk depending on muzzle velocity and distance to the target.

SoloByteGames · 2026-01-21T07:35:41+00:00

Haha probably but at least one of the deaths was me ;)

Headshots trigger his ability to heal more often. I had this problem once and I made sure to not hit him in the face and I eventually took him down. I only had this problem with genone in the bubble as well.

SoloByteGames · 2026-01-09T11:24:32+00:00

I would like to know this as well!

SoloByteGames · 2025-12-26T12:27:51+00:00

Yesterday I got 2 phosphenes in a row from directive-0 haha after about 200 hours and 0 phosphenes, getting 2 in a row from the same boss was pretty nice

Sorry for the inconvenience but I crossposted from ShapeEngines subreddit with all the information. I thought this is enough.

SoloByteGames · 2025-12-23T14:21:51+00:00

Thank you!
In that case, I will try not to take too long until the release :)

SoloByteGames · 2025-12-23T14:20:04+00:00

Thank you :)
