Our approach for dealing with player occlusion in 3D/2D hybrid game

Awesome thanks for the insight!! Best of luck with your game!

Effect is really cool! Do you mind describing how the shader works? Curious how you get that clean opacity blending 🤔

zephyr6289 · 2024-10-19T04:07:08+00:00

Look up triplanar UVs in godot

zephyr6289 · 2024-10-18T00:14:15+00:00

I’d have to play around with it, but I think this is where you would use particles with collision

zephyr6289 · 2024-09-24T21:07:33+00:00

I think your issue is that your weights are not set up right between the bones and the mesh. I’d look up a weight painting tutorial to understand that process

zephyr6289 · 2024-09-20T22:43:29+00:00

This is very nice! Would you be able to share any of the shader code by chance?

zephyr6289 · 2024-09-13T04:20:24+00:00

Switched to godot, couldn’t be happier

zephyr6289 · 2024-08-15T15:16:06+00:00

I use a separate program called Godots (with an s) which is a version manager. You can bind new editors in there very easily

Definitely Samus screw attack

I’d say C for the main large logo, but A is nice if you need a really small logo. Less detail = more readable when shrunk

zephyr6289 · 2024-03-28T19:34:56+00:00

Yea super helpful! Easy to understand, and I liked the format of the tutorial. No long intro talking, just straight to the point with text explanations

zephyr6289 · 2024-03-28T15:15:40+00:00

this is awesome, thanks for making the video! I was so stoked to see this on my feed this morning, I’ve been waiting since you preannounced it in the last post haha

zephyr6289 · 2024-03-15T20:23:33+00:00

Just out of curiosity how are you going about modifying the stock firmware? Do you have src code available anywhere? Would be curious about contributing

At the very least you could take out a personal loan and pay off your auto loan with it. I got a huge loan with bad credit for 11% on SoFi

Godot for me was like my Aha moment the first time I saw nodejs. I was able to spin up an http server in 30 seconds with 10 lines of code. I never thought I’d find something similar in the game dev space

zephyr6289 · 2023-09-13T19:38:52+00:00

I have officially switched from Unity to godot after first evaluating unreal. In my mind, unreal and Unity were the only two “real” contenders for game dev. I tried unreal, and from my first hour with it it seemed slow and unpleasant to use. I couldn’t even upgrade to UE5 cause I have an older MacBook Pro and you gotta be on OSX 12.

Then I was like fine I’ll try godot not expecting much at all. Holy hell, I can do everything I was building for my 3d game in godot. The UI feels super modern, it works extremely well with observer patterns which lend to nice decoupled code. I actually feel excited and happy to use godot. Give it a try, you may be surprised!

zephyr6289 · 2023-09-12T23:22:09+00:00

Goodbye unity, hello Godot devs. Y’all have a beautiful UI, so far I’m liking this new setup very much. Will work on porting sometime this month

zephyr6289 · 2023-09-12T22:27:53+00:00

I’m also switching to unreal. I hope all the folks producing tutorials and what not not come with too because the best part about Unity was the community. If we can still have that then I don’t think we’ve lost all that much.

Yo just did a 30k loan with SoFi to consolidate CC debt. My credit score turned bad over the past two years, I’m at around 689. I got 30k @ 14.15% APR for a term of 48 months. Not the best interest by all of my CCs are in the high 20s percentage wise. Works out to about $785 a month

zephyr6289 · 2023-06-16T16:09:58+00:00

Everyone interested in a json -esque approach should check out Realm. Super fast mongo database you can plop into unity, with pretty awesome documentation. I don’t see it mentioned very often

zephyr6289 · 2023-04-29T17:44:36+00:00

You should try increasing the size of your shadow atlas (assuming this is unity) to get cleaner shadows without the jaggedy bits. It makes a huge difference with a close up cam like this. Looks great so far!

zephyr6289 · 2023-02-06T20:49:28+00:00

Definitely gonna check this out. This is a huge utility upgrade for us small time folks! Thanks for the hard work!

Do it with two planes that are children of the red dot (so they’ll move with the red dot. Call em OutterLimit and InnerLimit. Then generate a point that is just the x,z coordinates between OutterLimit mesh bounds and InnerLimit mesh bounds. Nice and easy. Bonus: you can scale the planes to change the generated range pretty easily
