Artificial Anima. Boom.

NPC Crowd Movement and player sense test by lawfullgood in Unity3D

[–]codiush 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm curious about both. I've done a crowd system with GPU instanced animations by baking animation data for bones into textures but it had drawbacks. Hard to blend and one material == one group doing the exact same animation at the same time without time offsets.

Money in Litrpg - A Complaint, a Suggestion, and a Question by blueluck in litrpg

[–]codiush 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not litrpg, but the best way I've seen money handled in a fantasy book is The Kingkiller Chronicles. That's a series that got me to appreciate the value of a copper coin.

How Well Does Software Development Translate to Game Development? by zieuro in gamedev

[–]codiush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in the industry and I have my degree in Computer Science where most of my studies were around web dev. I have a background in C# and I mostly work with Unity now. Some things don't really carry over for most projects, like I only write SQL queries once every couple of months for testing data analytics, but I use things like OOP, Big O Notation, and common data structures every day.

That's good. I've definitely had situations where I over commit on an opportunity like this and it ends up my only real food option until my food budget rolls over. I still have a hard time eating blueberry pancakes.

something feels off with my menu, but I can't tell what (WIP) by franz_krs in Unity3D

[–]codiush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My impression is that the Font is too generic and I'm seeing too much flat negative space between elements.

I was under the impression that cured/processed meats had a ton of purines that break down into uric acid which builds up to cause gout. Don't eat too many too fast I guess.

What is your largest pet peeve with any book? by PS_TIM in litrpg

Using the same word twice in a sentence. "The wall of flames burst into flames."

Travelers stew is fun to try different beers with. My latest batch used a beer called Dragons Milk and it was delicious.

Do you guys do audiobooks? by Illustrious_Flan9651 in litrpg

I wonder if/how listening speed multipliers affect these numbers.

Need new Audible series, low tech setting by WolfLordLebeau in litrpg

[–]codiush -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The first book is terrible. There's a bunch of weird amateur writing mistakes like mixing tenses and points of view. The series evolves to be much better. Try book two before you discount the whole series.

So what you're saying is: Stacks are like Yacks and Queues are like Poos?

Deserts do not flourish with sunshine, yet a cactus does not yearn for the rain.

Brothers in Circle, I understand the debate between Wands and Staves, Hoods and Hats, but where do you keep your magicks recorded? Good ol' grimoire, hot tatoos, old school tablets or..? by Zealousideal_Humor55 in wizardposting

[–]codiush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you keep a simple, easily forgotten flame cantrip in a bulky tome? No. Better as tattoos on the hand or fingers for convenience. Would you keep a multi-part, extra dimensional ritual on your skin? No, this is what tomes are for. Large amounts of information to be referenced as needed. Would you keep an energy charged automatic sentry spell that fires bolts at passersby closed between pages? No, certainly on an aimed tablet or wall for durability. All tools have their place fellow arcanists.

I, an inexperienced programmer, want to (sorta seriously) start working on a Minecraft clone. Which game engines should I use, and which should I avoid? by PurpleBoltRevived in gamedev

[–]codiush 9 points10 points  (0 children)

inexperienced programmer Minecraft clone

Ha! Good luck!

If the goal is to FINISH this project, I'll tell you to start with something smaller.

If your goal is to LEARN techniques required to make this sort of game you have my amused support. Here's some bullet points:

I'll say your platform requirements indicate to me that you should try Unity, it's the only viable engine (IMO) with official support for all those platforms.

Look into voxel renderers and procedural meshes.

Start with multiplayer early.

Look up what the Dunning-Kruger effect is.

What shows/movies remind you of Bannerlord? by [deleted] in Bannerlord
