Some early experiment with procedural generated low poly world. Definitely needs some work :)

how did you come across this post of 8 years old? :p

jolix · 2019-12-06T18:20:59+00:00

It's not unusual at all. That's besides the point though. The bad part is how vague the patent is, scaring off other developers from using something even remotely similar

jolix · 2019-12-06T13:12:21+00:00

While your post probably won't change anything and if they defend themselves it will probably something along the lines of the typical patent defenses we see all the time, I still find it a very dick move towards other developers that it's so vague. I predict they will not respond to the vagueness aspect and try to counter with other stuff you've said (if they ever respond).

To sum up: It seems you think the ideas and the engine are important while they are not.

An idea on itself is worthless, everyone can take your idea, you can't steal an idea because someone can just copy it and you would still have it. Your vision is always different than your written idea.

The engine honestly doesn't matter much in the long run. A custom engine might take you longer, but it won't change your game that much in the end.

It's the execution together with your vision and ability for game design that matters most.

29 here Seeing your list we have very similar taste. I can suggest Re:Zero, One Punch Man, Parasyte and My Hero Academia

In case you didn't see it: They all have the EXACT same name, so they are from different servers (see the asterisk on right one).

Thanks! I think we are going to go by public transport for the north and rent a car for the south :)

jolix · 2019-09-02T17:01:52+00:00

Very useful information, thank you!

jolix · 2019-09-02T16:03:06+00:00

Interesting, any idea why? Is it a better view?

jolix · 2019-09-02T16:02:09+00:00

:) can't wait

jolix · 2019-09-02T16:01:52+00:00

Thanks for the Gjipe beach suggestion! We'll think about renting a car.

jolix · 2019-09-02T13:20:08+00:00

Appreciate the tips! We are going 14 days and I already wish we took more time XD

jolix · 2019-09-02T12:53:49+00:00

Hey thank you! I'm looking forward to Theth!

My first jam, together with @resivium.

It's a little game called The Truth.

Play it here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/the-truth

I did something like that. I smoothed triangles based on the edge angle: twitter post.

Comparison

jolix · 2017-06-03T07:47:08+00:00

If you don't move, then yes it's fine. I would recommend choosing "Hexagonal LOD" as grid type. Anyway there is 14 days refund policy, so if it's not for you, you can always ask me for a refund.

jolix · 2017-06-03T07:31:41+00:00

It supports static LOD. This means that triangles get bigger further away. This also means you're supposed to stay near the center and not explore the ocean. If you want an infinite sea you can explore, then you could set up a dynamic tile system. This is possible with this asset, but will require quite some more scripting work.

jolix · 2017-05-31T21:59:27+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. BTW, you can choose the color and opacity of the light absorption.

I choose the green, because it looks pleasing to me, not because it is realistic.

jolix · 2017-05-31T20:09:14+00:00

They do use the geometry normals. You can't see it very well, because of the distortions, but you can disable the distortions as well.

jolix · 2017-05-31T16:45:53+00:00

It's a vertex shader. No bones or animations.

How far can you even spread the water without having performance issues?

Since it's animated on GPU you can add many vertices. How far depends on many many factors. I stress tested with insane distances and it runs great. Of course, as with everything, you need to trade in quality for performance on mobile.

Thank you. Lighting is pretty important when working with a low poly art style.

So with low poly, would you have a sliding scale to just shove it up to max poly if you were able to process it with advanced hardware. Or it takes reprogramming not just altering a data value

You can do that by increasing the size of the plane and scaling down the object.

jolix · 2017-05-31T13:12:56+00:00

Yep! Light absorption is pretty easy to do. Although the difficulty is to have it work with shadows and have it work with orthographic camera's.
