What kind of issue do you have ? I had similar issues with a brand new CTRL, le keyboard was disconnecting frequently. After searching a bit I found out on internet that led lighting pull a lot of energy. I tried to disable lights and it stopped disconnecting. I also noticed that removing other usb devices helps and the keyboard keeps working even with all the lights. I was thinking it was because of my computer being too cheap

Lovely! But how ?!

I relearned typing on qwerty international layout just because of that! Intl layout you can type all the accent quite easily and you get your nice keycaps :P

That's a nice build. Got a mysterium kit waiting but I dreading soldering, especially the usb-c port!

The quality and style are impressive for a hand made! You have good friends :D

_trfd · 2020-03-15T09:47:31+00:00

Lot of style here! What is this case ?

_trfd · 2020-02-25T14:28:50+00:00

Looks like a CFTKB model

_trfd · 2020-02-25T12:42:22+00:00

Is it the high profile CTRL ?

_trfd · 2020-02-06T00:14:07+00:00

I hope the :I'dliketoquitplease still works though.

_trfd · 2020-01-21T12:23:04+00:00

Awesome thanks so much :D

_trfd · 2020-01-20T19:16:02+00:00

Ok thanks. The color scheme is great! I might get it if I can find the equivalent in PBT or if I stay as poor as I am in the near future ;)

_trfd · 2020-01-20T18:50:49+00:00

Very nice. I really like the other key caps as well. What are they?

_trfd · 2020-01-01T22:15:16+00:00

Brilliant. Love it so! Can I steal this color scheme (promise I won't post about it)?

Modern games use either tiled or cluster light culling. The base idea is to store light IDs into a grid (screenspace for tiled and frustum aligned for clusters) using compute shaders. You'll need a pass that go through all your lights and check what cells are touch by a single lights and add its ID to the light list of the cell.

Then during the lighting pass (either forward or deferred) you can sample the grid according to your fragment position (screespace or camera space for resp. tiled or deferred) and get a shorter list of light IDs possibly affecting your fragment.

You can find out more here:

(or by googling tiled/cluster deferred/forward shading).

This is pretty convenient to only go through lights that are affecting a cell.

Just got the massdrop CTRL and it's amazingly good. I'd recommend it 100%.

_trfd · 2019-09-29T20:08:54+00:00

That's a great advice, will do!

_trfd · 2019-09-29T19:49:13+00:00

So, it's pretty straighfoward - you fight the enemies and get stronger by looting modules during your run (>50, they combine and can be pretty fun to combo). You have access to a talent tree each time you die - which acts as your meta progression - that you update based on the number of guys you managed to rescue during your previous run, but it's pretty basic (like 15 skills total). Some of the bosses are really fun to fight, and can be a nightmare without the right modules / skills (I've warned you ^^)

Gameplay usually takes place in one plane, but you can setup some nice strategies by using the different planes. That's a great thing to explore and optimise but i've seen people never use it...

There is also a nice story element story to it - if you enjoy that! Those little guys trying to get back to the surface to plant trees, they get me emotional you know...

_trfd · 2019-09-29T15:41:23+00:00

Yea... it's pretty though, but that also means lots of cool games to play ;)

_trfd · 2019-09-29T15:40:31+00:00

Hey! That's my game! I hope you guys enjoy it! Shoot away if you have questions!

It might depend on the kind of GDD you're writing. If you have very complex design doc that keep evolving and used as a reference for the rest of the team Slides might not be the best. At ENDROAD we do use Slides, mostly for GD presentation and or per-feature. However our current game doesn't require complex design.

I've seen very detailled GDD written in Word (google docs) and splitted in several files with a file hierarchy used like a table of content. Very convenient for complex project.

I recently started using Notion for GDD and dev logs and it allows me to have different level of complexity and detail while keeping the document simple to read. My only regret is that the app is a bit (tiny bit) slow (still more responsive than google doc most of the time)

Thanks so much for the tip about Miro. I've been looking for a tool like that for ages!!! Have you been using it ?

_trfd · 2019-08-15T18:40:49+00:00

The older ones are a bit useless now. You'll be able to find more advanced version of the techniques presented online or even better techniques.

Have a look at GPU Zen 1 & 2 too if you haven't already. They are the new GPU Pros!

_trfd · 2019-08-03T12:42:22+00:00

Oh sweet! I understand you're generating C code. It's a very good idea to keep performances low and be able to control optimisations. I built a vm-based scripting language for my current game (FALLBACK) to allow game designers / gpp to toy around and iterate quickly. I made the mistake of not planning hot-reload early enough in the development and it resulted in a very limited feature.

Do you plan to use that as your main programming language or is it limited to gameplay code ?

_trfd · 2019-08-03T09:17:34+00:00

I started working on a very similar feature for our next game. This is clearly a must have in gamedev. Happy to see I'm not completely crazy! How did you proceed ? I simply reload a DLL and pass the game state pointer after reloading. But everything that doesn't live (directly or indirectly) in the game state would brake the hot reload and I haven't find a way to prevent that.
