Sounds interesting... depending on how big the library was, how saves worked (cloud-based?), and the monthly cost, I could see it being good.

My computer was the last thing unplugged, but our house is under construction and has been for months and internet wasn't high enough on the priority list compared to water, electricity, heating... XD
Heyao !
Finally did a quick youtube vid just showcasing the moves and background of the game so far
https://youtu.be/WusNK-_6Fx0
Will take a break from this project for a week or two to catch up on other stuff ! But next up will be doing some more variety in the backgrounds and new enemies
Also, if you guys are curious, the image in the beginning is a depiction of the character before his mutation, as a strapping young lad
I'm going to emphasize this: Talk to your lawyer and the company's HR / legal people.
If I get my little camera bug
What I like the most about your graphics is the coloring.So, the background is not finished at all, but i'm experimenting with visual ergonomic, cause let's face it, the game needs all of it, 100% perfect intuitive and precise interaction with edges of every platforms.
So you know.. , it's difficult to have that and pretty dense scenery at the same time obviously!
But it'll be ok! I kinda like that it looks modern and at the same time super old school like an eighties game.
added AOE burn effect to the phased running power
it may be OP at this point.. I'll determine that as time goes
= c*exp(-a*y). However, closed forms do have their oddities.
float a = "density falloff rate"
float b = "distance to object point"
float c = "density scale"
vec3 r = "camera position"
vec3 d = "direction from camera to object point"
if(fabs(d.y) > 1.0e-6f)
t = (expf(-r.y*b))*(1.0f-expf(-a*d.y*b))/(a*d.y); // (*)
else
t = (expf(-r.y*b))*b;
t = expf(-c*t);
color = mix(fog_color, color, t);I can't speak about the OP-ness, but it sure looks very nice, and links the visual with the actual effect much more than it did before
I like it. Game improved a lot, visually! :+added AOE burn effect to the phased running power

Oh God
Some ground based fog. It decays exponentially with height y. Pretty simple.
In this specific case the optical depth equation can be solved in closed form
given that the density just depends on height and decreases exponentially,
i.e. density
Code:float a = "density falloff rate" float b = "distance to object point" float c = "density scale" vec3 r = "camera position" vec3 d = "direction from camera to object point" if(fabs(d.y) > 1.0e-6f) t = (expf(-r.y*b))*(1.0f-expf(-a*d.y*b))/(b*d.y); // (*) else t = (expf(-r.y*b))*b; t = expf(-c*t); color = mix(fog_color, color, t);
The else part is needed for the case that the direction y becomes zero. You
get that term by either using L'Hospital's rule on (*) or by integrating the
optical depth equation for the special case with y set to zero.

That's what I do on a daily basis, hacking my way through! lol xDlol my head hurts
wish I could code properly instead of hacking my way through!
Been watching the thread and grats to all who have released, been greenlit etc. Its been a constant source of wonder and inspiration <3(super early testing of separated movement and aiming meshes)
That was exactly my intention, alas I use longer names in code as well, but
not much longer (like ray, dir etc.). I thought given a better description
of what the formula does leads to a better understanding than cluttering the
formula with longer names, which won't help in any understanding. I think it
is better to understand the formula by what it is supposed to do rather than
guessing what it does by looking at the variable names.
Anyhow, I did a full derivation so anyone can see how the result was derived;
Of course, you can manipulate the density function producing other cool fogs.
But if the term becomes too complex you no longer can integrate the optical
depth in closed form and you have to revert to numerical integration, i.e.
stepping along the ray, which is a bit more computational demanding but leads
to even cooler fogs (volume rendering, basically). However, the given formula
already produces fast and cool looking fog right out of the box. And if you
mix that fog color with the color of the sun (angle dependent) it should look
pretty advanced than, for almost no computational cost compared to full
volume integration.
The formula can be speed up by approximating the exponential function like
exp(-x)~=1-x, but you have to keep the argument pretty small otherwise you will
get banding in the fog.
Looks funny already.... I'm aiming for a mech twin stick shooter with heavy loot elements. Sort of a mix between smash TV and borderlands if you will. Been messing with ways to make the mech walk one way and aim the other and it finally clicked so the rest should be relatively easy
I always liked the idea of moving with one stickWell, I took computer graphics right in the first term at university and
But it's not in game yet so there is much work to do!
That's one nice background! I'm still months (a year?) away from making my own, as I want to get the character right first... but I'm looking forward to learning from yours until then in regards to quality and detail!
As for character movement, I've been resting a bit this week because of burnout, so there's fewer new stuff than before. Still, there's this:
I don't think I'll manage to get all of her moveset in before the end of the year after all, but I'll still try to get as close as I can!

Nothing wrong with dabbling a little just to get some ideas flowing and coming back to them again when you're fully ready.Wow. These movements are pretty good looking! I guess we will be blown away... As for character movement, I've been resting a bit this week because of burnout, so there's fewer new stuff than before. Still, there's this: ...

Dabbling a little with backgrounds might be a nice way to help combat burnout
