Bye

[hazy sky]

fuck yeah credits music

@rotund garden we really gotta release the OST later (with Ignacio's approval as well)

[rotund garden]

of course, I'll tell him later on

[hazy sky]

rank screen OST

@pure jackal listen to these boy

[dusky pivot]

Cooking with the visuals I think

[hazy sky]

why is it sparkly

[bright yarrow]

This isn't a modding question, but is a gamedev one, does anyone know how the instant repawn in ULTRAKILL works? I want to impliment something similiar in UE5.6

[hazy sky]

#ultrakill-modding

[sharp vortex]

Mmm honestly they're not going to have any answers, Ultrakill mods are just a bunch of scripting and BepinEx shit from what I gather

[half furnace]

I think they are asking how to make instant respawns in UE5 using Ultrakill as an example

[sharp vortex]

As for an answer, I think it's probably more like teleporting and resetting stats to what they were, and involves some extra shit to make it faster.

I saw some dude making a video about his game talking about pretty much just never actually destroying enemy objects once they're dead so he can simply reset their state on reload instead of fully loading brand new objects

It was this one, though I don't think he explicitly says that in this video. Maybe I'm smoking crack and made that up, but I think it would work well for this kind of thing. He talks about it somewhere after 8:42.
https://youtu.be/BtexfEcmdts

Pretty much just down to resetting only things that NEED to be reset, and anything that has changing states that remain in the level just make sure they return to normal

Naturally as he says, there will be a lot of edge cases.
Probably need to account for objects and enemies that weren't "activated" so they don't try to reset, stuff you wouldn't think about like doors, sounds, scripted events

[hazy sky]

object pooling is a good thing to do

[tranquil oracle]

However we do not use IL2CPP so anyone is free to open up the DLLs in ILSpy to see how things are implemented

[waxen plover]

god have mercy

[hazy sky]

don't get me started

I still haven't implemented the animations akdov made

@stiff thorn you up?

[stiff thorn]

wassus cuz

[hazy sky]

you said something about anim trees in godot

[stiff thorn]

merhaps I did

[hazy sky]

inquiry about anim trees rn

how do they work

[stiff thorn]

well

there are different kinds for different purposes

[hazy sky]

should we move to dms to not clutter up chat or

[stiff thorn]

what's your goal?

[stiff thorn]

either way is fine with me

[hazy sky]

entity has 4 phases, i need to play animations or blend them together based on a float value

[rotund garden]

https://imgur.com/a/yCHobX9

[tropic token]

It creates a duplicate of all dynamic object (they're all stored in one object so it just copies that, disabling the original) and whenever you respawn it removes the copy and instances a new one

At least that's my understanding from observing with rude and unity explorer

For the stats though I'm not sure it probably just stores it on checkpoint collect and reverts to it on death although that's an educated guess

[waxen plover]

working on the game on my first monitor and watching the timer on the second

18 hours left, gonna boost through this

yeehaw

if my scene gets deleted i'm quitting the game jam

[stiff thorn]

-rm rf

:))

[rotund garden]

best of luck with your submission!! 🫡

[rotund garden]

make backups!!

[waxen plover]

thank you 🙏

[waxen plover]

i did just now, won't risk it

[waxen plover]

@hazy sky what are the resolutions you typically put in a game

[hazy sky]

you mean like ALL of them?

I can give you a list

[waxen plover]

nvm i got it

[waxen plover]

these are the ones i'm using

[hazy sky]

i separate them into aspect ratios on my end

    "4:3": [
        Vector2i(512, 384),
        Vector2i(640, 480),
        Vector2i(800, 600),
        Vector2i(1024, 768),
        Vector2i(1152, 864),
        Vector2i(1280, 960),
        Vector2i(1400, 1050),
        Vector2i(1440, 1080),
        Vector2i(1600, 1200),
        Vector2i(2048, 1536),
    ],
    "16:9": [
        Vector2i(640, 360),
        Vector2i(854, 480),
        Vector2i(960, 540),
        Vector2i(1280, 720),
        Vector2i(1366, 768),
        Vector2i(1600, 900),
        Vector2i(1920, 1080),
        Vector2i(2560, 1440),
        Vector2i(3200, 1800),
        Vector2i(3840, 2160),
    ],
    "16:10": [
        Vector2i(1280, 800),
        Vector2i(1440, 900),
        Vector2i(1680, 1050),
        Vector2i(1920, 1200),
        Vector2i(2560, 1600),
        Vector2i(2880, 1800),
        Vector2i(3840, 2400),
    ],
}```

its just like a list of most popular resolutions i got off of google

[waxen plover]

i think i saw something similar on a forum

no time to add all that though

[hazy sky]

wym no time

no time to add like 30 lines of resolutions?

[waxen plover]

my system is different, adding different aspect ratios is gonna require recoding the whole thing

[hazy sky]

damn

cannot be me tbh

[waxen plover]

you did have a team though, i'm just brute forcing this shit

[hazy sky]

its mostly the prior experience on different projects

BUT akdov and his friends did an amazing job on the visual side of things

[waxen plover]

i see, i'm just saying if i had more time i'd code a more flexible settings system and so on, you can't think much through when you're counting seconds

i'm also doing art and models and everything so

[hazy sky]

yeah i had it easy on this because i didn't have to worry about these

[waxen plover]

2 hours...

[hazy sky]

12 minutes.....

[rotund garden]

Jam officially closed!!

god I'm scared

https://bakdov.itch.io/litany

[waxen plover]

i love it when i upload my game and realize i didn't turn off invincibility off for the player

cool shit 👍

[rotund garden]

I'm sure you can upload an update and put it next to the previous version, don't delete the older one so it doesn't seem suspicious

explain what that tiny update does and that's it

[waxen plover]

gotcha

unfortunate

[hazy sky]

what

[waxen plover]

i can't upload another version

[hazy sky]

that sucks

[waxen plover]

1 boolean ruining the whole game

actually no you're an immortal being it's now lore

[hazy sky]

if you think about it, aliens colonial marines had it's entire AI system fucked up due to a loose "a" in the code

could be worse

[rotund garden]

oooooooooooooooooo I see

[waxen plover]

I've been awake since 10am yesterday, pulled an all nighter for this 😔

[hazy sky]

took the day off to finish up work on the project

[rotund garden]

it's okay, I barely slept for the past couple of days lol

[waxen plover]

i took the whole week off lol

[hazy sky]

we all spent

[waxen plover]

i mean i'm kinda proud of what i did alone

[rotund garden]

we're all rotted in the trenches

[waxen plover]

🔥

[hazy sky]

whats the name

i wanna try

[waxen plover]

actually there might still be other bugs i still didn't play the whole game myself 😭

[waxen plover]

https://eddinn.itch.io/gallu

read the controls on the page

[hazy sky]

no

i will play it as it is

is the game loud?

[waxen plover]

goodluck

[waxen plover]

there's audio settings

[hazy sky]

what do you mean

[waxen plover]

read the note above

[hazy sky]

ow

[waxen plover]

now that i think about it i shouda added "hover"

nvm

[hazy sky]

i can't get ammo

[waxen plover]

hold E

[hazy sky]

holding

[waxen plover]

does the screen light up

[hazy sky]

the progress goes over and starts over as well

[waxen plover]

yeah

[hazy sky]

ammo is still 0

[waxen plover]

you click r, open the barrel and spam F

you're not shown the amount of ammo you pick up, everytime the screen lights up you're picking up 1 bullet

[hazy sky]

huh

[waxen plover]

basically you pick up the ammo, open the barrel and spam f to put it in

[hazy sky]

you should have accounted for stupid people like me

[waxen plover]

no there's literally no tutorial or indicators or anything so it's my bad lol

like i said i rushed it, wasn't even gonna post the game

[hazy sky]

i like the tone and feel

the operation of the gun could be a bit more forgiving but i dig it

[waxen plover]

got too invested into coding the game i forgot players don't just magically know how to play

[rotund garden]

dude so far this is awesome

[waxen plover]

if you get good at it you just move your hand diagonally and your speed reload

[rotund garden]

the ambients, the sounds, all on POINT

[waxen plover]

thanks man 🙏

just forgive the lame twist at the end, i was planning a fight against a monster but time ticks

[hazy sky]

zombies?????????????

[waxen plover]

yeahhhhhh

i coded this with 2 hours left on the clock i don't even know what it is

[hazy sky]

i was about to ask how do i shoot myself but then it happened

[waxen plover]

LOL

[hazy sky]

[waxen plover]

i had a whole monster planned

gonna add it in the finished version

[hazy sky]

HELP ME I AM STUCK

it keeps fading in and out of this

[waxen plover]

oh fuck

god damn it

i forgot to assign the script to quit the game

my fault 😭

[rotund garden]

I gotta get good at the game, but man you COOKED here I really like this game

one piece of feedback I'd give so far is to tune the reloading a bit, to not lock you from going in or out

I dunno how to explain it

[waxen plover]

yeah i know what you mean

not being able to go back and having to redo the whole reload is annoying

i was gonna change it but didn't have time

[rotund garden]

when you open the chamber, you cannot make it go back or forward, if you moved the mouse a tiny bit, you gotta re-do it again

outside of this detail, the rest is awesome

[waxen plover]

thank you, i'm actually gonna go back to work on the game right now

[rotund garden]

the usual problem, it's okay we had to cut a bunch of things for a "post-jam" update

based

I won't lie, that endscene was a bit too long, but I was tense looking everywhere

everything was on point, you got something VERY good here, I loved it lol

[waxen plover]

thanks man, gonna fix a lot of stuff for the next version 🙏

[hazy sky]

i actually thought the long wait made things more suspenseful

[hazy sky]

here's hoping we wake up to 1500$

[hollow plinth]

Does anyone here play both ultrakill and league of legends
I need an opinion regarding a mod I am making
I am currently modding kayle to be Gabriel and I don't seem to find a really fitting voice line when kayle triggers her Ult could anyone help me out ?

[rotund garden]

@hazy sky he did it...............

[dusky pivot]

Textures turned out great and so did the model, Im rlly proud of this one <:

[merry lotus]

woah this looks amazing

[rotund garden]

it's so nasty I love it

[dusky pivot]

Thankies :3

[toxic hemlock]

bro did u really have to do a 3d scan of my bed and put it into ur game completely unmodified

[dusky pivot]

Sorry I couldnt resist 😭

[toxic hemlock]

the least u couldve done is pay me 25 million dollars smh

[dusky pivot]

One small update, also made windows and made lightning better

[hazy sky]

fuck you new project

[meager minnow]

This looks dope, what’s it for?

[dusky pivot]

A game Im making

[meager minnow]

Sick

[dusky pivot]

:3

[dusky pivot]

More assets :3

[hazy sky]

fully translated to 2 languages + the default english

this does not affect the prayers, although i'm 100% sure i could translate them as well, but not gonna

[rotund garden]

We'll see about translating prayers later on in the future maybe

[hazy sky]

no

we won't

maybe the non-latin prayers but you HAVE to understand that you cannot translate these sentences 1:1 and in turn, it would make it HARDER in some languages right?

like for example the Hungarian language really likes long sentences

[hazy sky]

fucking FINALLY

and only one of the subtitles got fucked up by the resolution change, i'm pretty happy about it

[stiff thorn]

idk if it's a good idea to show off the entity all well lit

kinda defeats the horror aprt

[hazy sky]

well but otherwise you don't really know what you're looking at

you're just looking in the dark

[stiff thorn]

huh

isn't that the point? you can see vague shapes of it approaching you, but not fully?

[hazy sky]

i could try removing some light from back there

[stiff thorn]

I just think the more vague the silhouette the better

[stiff thorn]

when I was playing, my eye was more focused on the letters and the dark made it ahrd to see

[hazy sky]

it's one thing to have a silhouette, it's another to not have any at all

[stiff thorn]

I could only see somethingmoving towards me

something that looks like an arm, something that looks like a hooded figure

but you aren't really sure if that's what you see

that's just my take on it tho

maybe someone else who played disagrees

[waxen plover]

yeah it's more ominous when it's dark

putting the monster in a fully lit room in the tutorial is like:
"this is jim. jim is gonna be haunting you. type to make jim not haunt you"

[hazy sky]

https://tenor.com/view/time-crisis-time-crisis-3-randy-garrett-gif-16483018541484885758

[waxen plover]

i'm conflicted between letting the player move around / stay in 1 spot

i think staying in 1 spot makes the player feel helpless, but then again being able to walk is more opportunities for scares

https://tenor.com/view/cat-silly-cat-silly-ahh-silly-ahh-cat-goofy-gif-15009262023119441493

[hazy sky]

should i have restart on death or have lives like in TS3?

also should i have different weapons like in TS3

yes i really like time crisis 3

[long rune]

hello? are pplz here?

I need some help with mods ;u;

[hazy sky]

okay these guys are GOOD

gonna make it so getting hit either resets the timer or add some time

literally making it a rail shooter

what i do right now is basically:

animate the player moving to a position

the animation player sets the players values to disallow shooting and going into cover

in theory, I can make the movement animations in blender as well

the camera moves independently from the player, meaning I can do segments where the camera locks onto the enemies and tracks them

very good proof of concept

the enemies shooting logic I need to get down though, plus the visuals

right now they're basically hitscan which is FUN

I think I'll make the enemies bullets into projectiles

and make them collide with the players area

[waxen plover]

this looks familiar,,,,,,

[hazy sky]

I wonder why

[waxen plover]

indeed i wonder

[hazy sky]

good old time crisis

[waxen plover]

i think i should add a timer to my game aswell

for pressure

[hazy sky]

could work

making it into a full game?

[waxen plover]

actually it might break immersion

[waxen plover]

yessir

[hazy sky]

make it diegetic

[waxen plover]

like a clock thing?

[hazy sky]

clock on the wall, pocket watch something

[waxen plover]

yeah that could work

except there's some people that don't know how to read clocks

[hazy sky]

it's only immersion breaking if it's plastered on your HUD

make it those vacuum tube clocks

[waxen plover]

or maybe add a red mark the clock hand is rotating towards as an indicator

[hazy sky]

sure

then again I only ever made gamey games so

can't say I tried to make things that work diegetically

[waxen plover]

i don't see a retro game being immersive but i'll try anyway

[hazy sky]

the word immersive truly lost its merit nowadays

a game is immersive as long as you achieve getting the player immersed

graphics don't really matter, imscared is a very chunky pixelated game but it still got me immersed as fuck

[waxen plover]

imscared tells you it's a game, hence the immersion

[hazy sky]

silent hill feels immersive despite being a psx game

[waxen plover]

you need a bit of realism in graphics to have a higher chance, which i'll try to achieve

[waxen plover]

well, we also have good ambience, soundtracks and so on in the equation

[hazy sky]

what you could do is

replace the sans speech pattern and voice act the radio

that would in itself already give more immersion

I'll be honest I didn't even pay attention to what the radio said I just went on 0 thought

[waxen plover]

it would feel out of place honestly, though some gibberish would work instead of the sans stuff

[hazy sky]

would it?

[waxen plover]

like talking, but you can't really tell what he's saying

[waxen plover]

damn i thought i made the dialogue text fluid enough

[hazy sky]

it's a radio, it's meant to convey information across distances

[hazy sky]

i just zoned out during those sections

[waxen plover]

no like, the audio is just random noises, but the text is fine lol

it's like speech but you can't tell what he's saying

some games do this i don't know how else to explain it

[hazy sky]

no what I mean is

voice acting those mish-mash voices would actually help ground the thing a bit more

you already have screams and grunts in there, hearing a guy through the radio going abbabdlaabsldbsnsb kinda just reminds the player that it's just text being processed with garbled voice chunks

then again if you wanna keep the text to speech thingy that's up to you, but even a low-tier voice acting gives more character than garbled noises mapped to letters

[waxen plover]

honestly i played mouthwashing, it literally just plays small clicking noises and it's immersive

i'm reading too much into this

[hazy sky]

man it's been a while since I've beat that game

[hazy sky]

but that's also different because you SEE the characters and interact with them

in your game you listen to a disembodied voice through a radio

[waxen plover]

that can be solved by making the radio do some little animations to express emotion

[hazy sky]

oh wow rifle goes click I'll play with it while nothing happens

[waxen plover]

huh

[green fiber]

Ye, in the way that it was barely relevant
Didn't even die once to a timeout

[green fiber]

Personally I'm not too much of a fan of that but you love ts3 anyways so ye go for it

[hazy sky]

what if I based it off of Vampire Nights instead where you get "different" weapons based on progression

the special mode allowed you to upgrade your gun, ammo or use different guns altogether

but you were locked to that gun for the run

I think

maybe you weren't actually but the switching was not as fluent as TC3

like you had to pause and switch weapon from that menu

BUT you had the option to upgrade your gun, your bullets and even unlock a shotgun and machine gun

granted almost every enemy in vampire nights had a healthbar

[merry lotus]

wip dialogue system

designed it after deus ex's dialogue system

[hazy sky]

big miss to base it off of vampire the masquerade: bloodlines 😔

[toxic hemlock]

big win to base it off the malkavian mod

[merry lotus]

i like to make a silent takedown

[hazy sky]

@green fiber

@rotund garden new litany update looks weird

[rotund garden]

this motherfucker cooks so fast

[hazy sky]

still so many things to do

but i made the player 100% state based, meaning setting the state forces actions. so i can directly influence and force player behavior for example, when moving between sets, i can force the player out of cover and lock them into the moving state which disallows firing and reloading, also sets them invincible and untargetable

untargetable means enemies cannot fire dangerous shots at the player

they will always miss, but the visual bullets will do near misses around the player

there is an inaccuracy modifier that influences these, so i can make enemies spray down wildly, or make focused shots

the way they work is basically a random number rolls between min and max shots until danger shot

at 0, it will be a guaranteed danger shot

i used to have an early exit chance but it was too luck dependent and made the enemies unpredictable as fuck

but the general thing is, i have 3 cover positions now, left, right and down, i can animate an empty in blender around the map, segment the animations into actions and basically the rail system is done

i still need enemy spawning

[merry lotus]

not sure how to decorate this bedroom

[pure jackal]

A desk and a bookshell maybe

A tv?

[waxen plover]

carpet, closet, sofa, fan or smth, trash bin

more paintings

hell maybe even some dumbbells

[toxic hemlock]

add some empty mounts for those fish trophies that u hang on the walls

[pure jackal]

A rocking chair with a little table and a candle next to it

[toxic hemlock]

put a big moldy teddy bear in the rocking chair

[daring bramble]

Idk

[waxen plover]

Add a wooden box full glass pieces with a blood droplet on each piece

guys, moral question : I am making a video game, and in it i made a secret room that shows a map of the fictional world. Would it be moral to use a swastika to denote a temple?

[waxen plover]

no

[hollow gate]

but it is an ancient symbol used in asian religion, and even google maps used to use to denote a temple

[waxen plover]

you are not google, some people will just find it edgy and you'll lose the german audience 😭

just make your own symbol, it's more fun

[hollow gate]

fine, i guess your'e right. but just to prove my point, here it is used in japan on google maps

[waxen plover]

I know but most people will think of n-zi germany, only a select few know about the japanese thing

[hollow gate]

yeha you're right

[hazy sky]

I mean yea the swastika was corrupted beyond belief by nazi Germany so it's probably not a good idea

unless you want people to also think your game is wolfenstein

Paintings, closets, tables and chairs.

Maybe some piles of old books and whatnot.

Or a fishing trophy.

The singing bass kind or whatever it’s called.

Maybe even some old planks or pieces of wood that have rotten off the walls?

Also, a broom somewhere.

Or maybe even a little ice cooler with beer.

my problem is that i feel like drawing is a chore

I'd much rather make a 3d model and paint it than draw something

[waxen plover]

you gotta enjoy the process

there's something about putting lines and shapes on a canvas to create something cool that just tickles my brain

[hazy sky]

it doesn't tickle mine sadly.......

I have a hard time getting my mind onto the canvas, and 3D modeling just feels easier to me

[waxen plover]

i see

i find drawing easier, modelling is eh

[waxen plover]

who would model when you can draw goofy shit like this

[dusky pivot]

your game is 11 on the list

[rotund garden]

WAIT HE DID A LIST?

[waxen plover]

as in it's the 11th game phil'll play

for the first stream yeah

it's gonna start in less than an hour

can't wait to see him play litany 🙏

(i couldn't beat it)

I'm gonna puke, NOW I'm nervous as shit

[hazy sky]

did you try again

we posted the difficulty patch

[waxen plover]

nope i haven't

i'll just watch phil play it then do it myself later

[waxen plover]

wait you posted a patch?

[rotund garden]

I fucked up and completely forgot to tell you, but this guy went and emailed Phil about the game being too hard and asked him if he can patch it, and he let him upload a version that JUST fixed the difficulty

[waxen plover]

it's fine i patched mine aswell, i was just asking since i thought patching would put my game all the way at the end of the list

[dusky pivot]

I think Im almost done with this

Very happy :3

[waxen plover]

ah yes, the love tank we all have above our beds
looks cool asf

[dusky pivot]

Thanks pyka!! :3

Yes yes, we all have one of those

[stiff thorn]

he let you do it?

nice

[waxen plover]

we should def make a game together sometime,, 👀

[dusky pivot]

That sounds awesome actually

[waxen plover]

hell yeah

[waxen plover]

@rotund garden can you ping me when phil starts playing litany, my attention span is too fried

[rotund garden]

he let bunch of people do it, he talked about it on the livestream

[rotund garden]

yeyeye, I'm also waiting for it

[rotund garden]

it's funny that you picked the versiom that ultimately didn't make it lol

[merry lotus]

i was gonna take a screenshot of it in-game and cut it out but the text was in the way

[rotund garden]

well moreso the one I rejected and tweaked it

yeag the text will always be on the way

also MAN I wanna finish it's design for the more complete game, since we went for an all-dark material to it due to time constrains lol

[hazy sky]

we can make it so it gradually reveals itself

like it's not a hard shader trick to give it a cool fading effect mixed with a fresnel effect to keep the shape vague at a distance until its too late

oh shit did i post the new book materials here?

[waxen plover]

i fell asleep but i just watched the vod, congratulations dude

game kicks ass, lot of effort went into it it deserves first place

[hazy sky]

fuck this is the one without the shader

[hazy sky]

can't wait to see Phil get all excited by the manual handling of the rifle in Gallu, you'll be right up there with us man we got this

[dusky pivot]

[rotund garden]

it's funny that the :3 rune is the first one that shows up

[waxen plover]

ayy i really hope he likes it, no need to win i'm just glad i built a project i can finish in the near future

[hazy sky]

it's literally the number 1 rune YOU drew man

there's also the middle finger rune and the upside down smiley

it's funny how i was like "that's definitely a middle finger, i'll name it rune of salt" and then you're like "yeah that's actually a middle finger lmao"

[rotund garden]

just for the hell of it, here are the animations I did for the Specters, the smaller entities

there are three head variations, this just shows one of them

[stiff thorn]

oooh, I really liked these

nice to see them up close

[rotund garden]

realized that the details about them having extra fingers wasn't noticeable in-game at all

outside of the Entity when you're about to lose and you can see it has a shit ton of fingers

they were detailed because there was going to be an easter egg where they'd stare into your face then run away lol

didn't make it to the game jam due to time constrains

[hazy sky]

they have three variants as well

the concept is great, you cooked

he LIKED IT!!!

[waxen plover]

ayy

i'm glad, really, i had low hopes

[rotund garden]

what you came up due to limitations of time for the ending was cool, like me making the big entity completely dark because I wasn't going to get the texture in time lol

[waxen plover]

yeah, should've atleast added an animation for them standing up and not just appearing lol

[rotund garden]

now that I realized, I didn't know about the ending being "unfinished" until I beated it

4 / 5 / 4 !!!!!!

You cooked friend, congrats!

[waxen plover]

@rotund garden do you think i should add more content and mechanics or just add a more fleshed out ending and release it

do you see yourself playing the game for like an hour+?

[rotund garden]

I do be thinking rn

I don't know if there's enough things to add to make it even better, outside of maybe finishing your vision for the ending

extend it for a couple of more levels, like the enemy soldiers standing up could be one more level where you gotta aim strictly to the head

and then have the final level be the creature you wanted to add, if you want to fight it or be like a playable sequence where you hear the babies crying and all of that

you could turn it into a short but sweet experience, and then add a score based mode where you last as long as possible against endless waves

problem is i can't find any good footage that i could take a closer look at

might just download PCSX2 to look at the bios

idk why i did this tho i just thought it'd be fun

[stiff thorn]

pcsx2 is the GOAT

[stiff thorn]

you figured out the answer to the question "why?"

[hazy sky]

well yea but i cannot really do much with this

[stiff thorn]

so what

did it take a lot of time?

if no then it don't have to have a purpose

[hazy sky]

it was like a half an hour thingy

it's kinda bumming me out that i couldn't fully replicate the look of the clock

look at those reflections and shine

[gritty hinge]

just make a cubemap from a spirally noise texture and add it to the thingy's material

[hazy sky]

wym

you mean the clock crystal's material?

[toxic hemlock]

yeah thats what the reflections look like to me

i doubt theres much of an actual scene for them to reflect

probably just plugging in that noise texture ont he background as the reflection source

also bevel the ends of those crystals too so they have some extra facets

[hazy sky]

I'll check something later

could add like a cellular noise so jt looks like the crystals are cut into shape

could also add some normal maps as well

I need to try that

I wish I could remember exactly what happened when it did, I just remember thinking "holy fuck that is not a graceful crash". Don't know if it was circumstantial or not

Like Unity you run a endless loop and it just stalls, you immediately see the stall and go "oh I must have fucked the loop"

I need to get back into vidya dev again soon

decided to start posting about Litany a bit, until we make an actual proper account for it

[dusky pivot]

Been working on this shader all night

Using depth buffer I managed to make a fog effect that instead of applying colors it makes objects have chunkier pixels the further away they are

[indigo notch]

Ooo that's a sick effect!!!

[dusky pivot]

Thanks ♡

[hazy sky]

post process outline, dithering AND quantization?

looks pretty good

i should rework my retro shader as well

what i really want to do is to apply dithering not as a fullscreen effect but onto the colors itself

[glass kiln]

https://tenor.com/view/thanks-giving-break-gif-10286018

[tidal dew]

yall have some good mods ?

[dusky pivot]

And pixelization based on depth

[hazy sky]

holy

that's interesting

[dusky pivot]

It took me all might

Its basically a pixelozation shader that uses the depth buffer to calculate its intensity

If you pay attention you can see that through the door things have pretty chunky pixels

Theres also fish lense and crt rgb pixels

[hazy sky]

it's a unique look, not sure about the depth based pixelization but it looks okay here considering it's a small enclosed space

[dusky pivot]

Worry not

It cant exponentially scale

The max pixel size is clamped

So basically it wont look like shit on big spaces

[stiff thorn]

now I wanna see what happens if you have the two extremes close together

minimal pixelization with extremely chunky pixels

adn the distance is like silent hill fog XD

[dusky pivot]

I can enable it in some scene with bigger distances later

Tho dont expect it to have gigantic pixels

As said before, the depth is clamped

@stiff thorn holy FUCK man there's a literal fucking config file API in godot??????????

https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_configfile.html

might convert litany's config to use this api and potentially circumvent the false virus positives

[stiff thorn]

There's a whattidy what now

[hazy sky]

you can make an INI file for your game

so instead of storing settings in a json file, you can make an INI based approach

[stiff thorn]

Well that'll be useful

[zealous sundial]

hello devs. i would like to ponder with you. upon watching me play ultrakill cybergrind, a friend of mine said that my style of play feels "algorithmic"

i did get his point, i do have pretty cut in stone ways of dealing with each enemy. it did make me wonder how a bot would play ultrakill

specifically a bot i model after my playstyle, cranked to eleven. aware of every cooldown, every coming attack and enemy in the vicinity and performing near-perfectly.

would this be accomplished with a traditional mod, and where to start? i dont have an affinity with coding but i might be willing to try it out.

(i also sent this to the ultrakillmodding channel, but that channel's mostly being used for mod support.)

wha

I was randomly clicking stuff on the search bar

[hazy sky]

aight

[hazy sky]

the missionary was such a great map........

[hazy sky]

idk why (don't ask) but i went ahead and repainted the vertex colors on the map by hand for each light source and moonlight basically

could have rebaked it per light source but it's just not the jedi way

although now i'm curious.............

[hazy sky]

i have no fucking idea how they made it back then but old games always had the vertex colors also light up the characters as well

but this feels straight out of the game

player clip brushes also work

[hazy sky]

i might actually just say fuck you to PBR textures

and keep everything like this

this has much more soul than PBR

or i could design it with both in mind

[waxen plover]

funfact: the way i achieved the smooth moving text characters in gallu is by creating a textmeshpro textbox for each character

of the dialogue text 😭

[hazy sky]

how about i say fuck you to NONE

trying to make it so in the legacy branch, the lights are using per-vertex shading

so the explosions and shit like that should still add into the vertex colors

[night hatch]

man that looks so good how much did it took you to make this?

[hazy sky]

the map, an hour since it's an already existing map from Medal of Honor: Underground

i fixed it up, fixed the UV's, enhanced the geometry a bit etc, created the clips for the player and the level

the painting of the lights took a little over an hour

i was going side by side with the original

but man is it worth it

i think i'm implementing this for all of the levels

just going around painting light onto shit is so relaxing

made a level class that supports selecting meshes for legacy rendering, you'd generally only apply this onto the level itself

and when you toggle legacy rendering, it swaps out the material

shit's gonna go hard

[pale raft]

[hazy sky]

its moreso a comparison for myself

left has no lights added, the right also has lights added to the scnee

scnee

what i can do is toggle the light layer when toggling the legacy rendering

[hazy sky]

what good shadow clips can do without needing extra geometry on the level itself

shadow clips aren't rendered, they're invisible but they cast shadows

really gearing up for the maps i'm gonna make here with all the cool shit

thats a lotta shadows!!!!!!!!!

Your art style is so cool! I gives me static vibes

legacy rendering shenanigans

[past flint]

holy shit, this look cool as hell, how did you do 2000s shadowing?

[hazy sky]

what do you mean 2000s shadowing?

[past flint]

like the baked shadowing

[hazy sky]

do you mean the lighting only affecting the level on the vertex basis?

[past flint]

i think

[hazy sky]

ah yea, basically i painted them in blender

[past flint]

ohhh i see

[hazy sky]

using the model's vertex colors

in the shader, i feed this into the emission property

[past flint]

interesting, i was trying to get baked lighting for my games so 🫠

any tips?

[hazy sky]

depends on what you're going for

BUT if you need lighting, seek baking in-engine at all costs

you see, this lighting you saw on the video supplies ZERO lighting at all, it's only visual

the only reason it works is because added lights in the level since the legacy rendering can be toggled

the lights do not get toggled to disabled

so your best bet is to look into baking solutions in your current game engine

[hazy sky]

man progress is so satisfying

cleaned up the HUD better so now each element is separate, and uses it's own class (AmmoWidget and HealthWidget) to control features BUT uses the same compound variables as all the other. what differs is the functions you call in them to dictate their behavior

also added a neat little feature into the weapon handler, a gameplay setting the player can toggle in a true Quake 2/3 fashion!!!!!!

auto swap weapon on pickup: never, if stronger, always

weapon strength basically ranges from grenades/disposables -> pistols -> smg -> rifle -> shotgun

AND also squashed a lot of bugs thanks to my custom debug suite, so everything works BUTTERY smooth so far

so far, until jian comes along and breaks my weapons in half again

there

Godot's becoming the blender of game engines now

with the infamous "there's a button/simple step for this specific problem"

2D also has this

super useful and I only learned of it like a few days ago

[brave solar]

Modding

[hazy sky]

oh damn

that's pretty nice actually

does it account for overdraw?

like does it trigger behind walls?

[stiff thorn]

didn't test yet

[rotund garden]

@waxen plover phisnom mentioned you as potential honorable mention

he mentioned Gallu before Litany, he REALLY liked that ending section

[waxen plover]

AYYY

[waxen plover]

you gotta gimmie the timestamp

[hazy sky]

is he finally finishing up

[rotund garden]

around the time before he plays the first game

he's live right now

[rotund garden]

yeah, final stream for the jam

[hazy sky]

bruh

93?

wasn't there like 138

[merry lotus]

have there been any other perfect scored games

[hazy sky]

probably

we can't possibly be the only ones

also i fixed one of the biggest annoyances in my game

the fucking shotgun

whenever you shot that thing, it deafened you with the bullet ricochet sounds

since i was already pooling the sounds, i've made it so the system looks for the following sounds to play, check their distance from each other and actually skip playing the sound altogether

so you'd get like 3-4 ricochet sounds as opposed to 12 or 16

since the audio pool is limited to 32, this is also pretty cool for saving space for extra sounds

[waxen plover]

time to finish up gallu so i can release the final version as soon as the results are out

i have some cool shit cooked up

[rotund garden]

two games got perfect score, but there's a good chunk of games that got really high points so it's not a guaranteed victory

[rotund garden]

Supposedly he had some friends check to see if they fit the theme since there was a decent chunk of games that didn't follow the theme at all and were DQd the kther dau

[hazy sky]

damn

[hazy sky]

its so funny having everything with the pistol anim

[azure wasp]

anybody have a helper function for setplayerrotation

in ultrakill

[tranquil oracle]

Are you just asking for a way to change the player's rotation?

NewMovement.Instance should give you the player

[azure wasp]

private void AimAt(GameObject target)
{
Transform player = NewMovement.Instance.transform;

Vector3 diff = target.transform.position - player.position;
Vector3 dir = diff.normalized;

float yaw = Mathf.Atan2(dir.x, dir.z) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;

float pitch = -Mathf.Asin(dir.y) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;

Camera cam = player.GetComponentInChildren<Camera>();

if (cam != null)
{
    Vector3 camRot = cam.transform.localEulerAngles;
    camRot.x = pitch;
    cam.transform.localEulerAngles = camRot;
}

Vector3 rot = player.eulerAngles;
rot.y = yaw;
player.eulerAngles = rot;

}

maybe visually yes it's setting the rotation but when when i turn my mouse and look at Player rotation in game explorer it's evidently still turning.

[tranquil oracle]

If you want to rotate the player camera you likely want to use CameraController.Instance.SetRotation

when fraud?

oh wait

wrong chat

[dusky pivot]

Pretty much completed

Someone should really check this bot to not mute when u send a pic folder -3-

[hazy sky]

it is there to prevent spam bots and shit

at least it doesn't delete the message

[dusky pivot]

Yeah

[hazy sky]

dealing with massive headaches........ so i guess i'll just work on small shenanigans like different UI styles as an optional choice

gonna make a Goldeneye 64/Timesplitters 2 inspired ammo counter

[hazy sky]

this hud framework i've built is so fucking goated.............

wait lemme remove the green flashbang......

it works very similar to the one in Timesplitters 2 because any magazine that's 10 or below in capacity gets assigned the one you see on the pistols, anything that's 30 or below has the double row. anything above 30 just gets the side by side ammo counters, and throwables/disposables show total ammo

starting to really get the hang of UI

i still need to make the old UI functional tho

[pure jackal]

Is that the plazmin shotgun

[hazy sky]

it is this shotgun chopped up

[hazy sky]

holy tomorrow never dies

i honestly didn't think that third person would work

it's funny that it does considering i'm literally making the gun turn TOWARDS the fucking mouse position in 3D space, but for some reason i didn't expect it

[hazy sky]

oh yeah i think i forgot to send it here

it is KINDA similar i guess but not the plaz shotty

[hazy sky]

i hate that all this time i used a VERY complex bs 3D trail to drive my bullets

and then i'm like, hey, what if it was just a cube

[gleaming owl]

make it dumb, always works

[hazy sky]

basically replaced 4 of my GPU particles with simple mesh nodes and interpolate their size and rotation via code and i already have like 80% increase in performance

it's brutal, before this, the game lagged whenever i sent 50 bullets into the SKY!!!!!!!

not even when popping around the room, just flying in the sky

with the new static trail that i scale according to the speed of the bullet, i can safely send like 200 bullets without lagging

this is a hundred bullets per trigger pull

[pale raft]

Call of Juarez gunslinger:

[hazy sky]

looks similar enough

so it seems like spawning effects does hurt performance

but the bullets are so bouncy without it

i might introduce bullethole and vfx pooling to avoid this

[dusky pivot]

He is cooking

[hazy sky]

what's cookin,,,,,,,,

[dusky pivot]

Im cooking as well

[desert shard]

Made a small action-heavy game

https://badpiggy.itch.io/traitors-claw

[stiff thorn]

on god I hope I don't have to do none of ts

I probably will tho 🥀

[hazy sky]

what do you have in mind for them

[stiff thorn]

just meant particles in general

I hope I NEVER have to optimize ANYTHING

[hazy sky]

oh yea

i had to ditch particles on a lot of terms

GPU particles are so fucking heavy for some reason

so i just replaced them with simple physics process stuff

like the sparks on the wall were two particles emitted from the same emitter, rotating and shrinking in size

so i just did the same thing in physics process and the overhead dropped by like 76%

[stiff thorn]

???

[hazy sky]

yea

they are HEAVY for some reason

i still have particles for like chunks of the wall popping out but overall i found out that it's cheaper to literally fake particles

[stiff thorn]

ffs

[hazy sky]

average godot shenanigans

doing stuff like rain and mist effects are still pretty good so

i think in the long run, the particle emitters are made for large amounts of particles, not just 2 or 6 or 12

for small numbers the overhead is just too much, but for rain for example it's much cheaper to go a GPU particle than doing it by hand i think

[stiff thorn]

I see
