VORTEX (Karlson at home)

[teal dust]

Mom can we have Karlson at home?

no this isn't another clone of Dani's tutorial movement system and grapple

[peak sonnet]

Looks nice :)
I would personally allow the jump boost things to give the effect even if you're above it, especially with the VFX it looks like you should start levitating upwards

[teal dust]

yeah I was thinking of a making that a separate object, something like a wind generator thing

[teal dust]

hey look its carls son!11!!

[knotty pivot]

carls son!

[teal dust]

carls son's catana!1!

[knotty pivot]

no way!

[glad condor]

[teal dust]

it's now!

I can bully billy's head

my brain is too small for physics-based followers

dont ask about the hp bar going negative

[teal dust]

timewarp is epic

[glad condor]

[glad condor]

ooo thats nice

make it stronger 🙂

[*snaps legs off*]

[teal dust]

its billy bob!

he still cant stand

[teal dust]

the

[glad condor]

hey look its billy

[glad condor]

@teal dust you should stitch all these clips together when you're finished speedrunning this

[teal dust]

billy can now jump around and follow the player

he still falls over very often but at least works

[teal dust]

billy has evolved

it doesnt lose balance that often now

[knotty pivot]

👍

[teal dust]

gotta make a proper indoor level

[peak sonnet]

When I first saw this I was like wow finally someone who made something good without copying...

Didn't last long

[teal dust]

lmao

i shifted from "Karlson style movement" to "Carl's son"

at least I made everything from scratch

[glad condor]

[tender sentinel]

Nice job! Very cool 👍

[teal dust]

anyway it's no longer carl's son but karlson-inspired multiplayer fps

[teal dust]

multi playeh

golden beanz

and a proper baked map

dont mind the UI in the top left

its the default for fishnet stuff

[cobalt echo]

Golden Bean?!

[teal dust]

golden bean!!1!1

[cobalt echo]

damn how you pulled this project off so quickly

first post was 11 days ago

crazy fast deveolpemt

[teal dust]

yeah I got a massive burst of motivation when I did the karlson styled map and guns

[cobalt echo]

cool

and you got multiplayer working

[glad condor]

[teal dust]

nearly

trying to get EOS to work so I can play with friends

[cobalt echo]

yo thats cool

pls tell me when you got the multiplayer done fr

this looks great

[teal dust]

thanks

[teal dust]

sure

[storm hedge]

it would be cool with double jump

[teal dust]

it would be cool with dash

[teal dust]

the thing

playing with a friend

there were like 4 beans jumping around at some point

[teal dust]

beanz: now with color

you can be racist in the voicechat

I mean voicechat isnt there yet but will be

nooo bean what did they do to you

[cobalt echo]

Gen Alpha Roblox Bean

[glad condor]

[gaunt scaffold]

ah shit I just came across this forum

this looks really clean so far

the karlson speedrunning community is always looking for karlson fangames, so if you ever get to the point where you need testers, lmk LOL

[sleek yacht]

Where is Dani!? Did Dani die!?

Dani is fine. He is still working on his newest game/video.It takes a lot of time to develop games and make videos.You can find more information about it [here](#✅-general message)

[wary seal]

Yeah real

[teal dust]

got gun shooting working and networked

no footage since forgot to turn obs recording on while testing

[teal dust]

also juicy healthbar animation

totally not stolen from a popular game called karlson

yes it is janky

yes it is broken

but at least it works

[glad condor]

heck yeah

[wary seal]

Cool

[obsidian fiber]

its scary how its almost identical to karlson

[wary seal]

lol the new thingy

[teal dust]

[indigo sleet]

bruh

[wary seal]

Yeah it is pretty new

[worthy stump]

hey

you should finish this game (or, you cant do that?)

[teal dust]

get this out of my eyes

this is literally the least effort I've seen put in a game ever

[teal dust]

eh maybe I'll just release it when I network everything and finish 2 maps but dont expect much

its a side project after all

[dull whale]

What is your advice?

[teal dust]

uh

first of all is that an AI generated logo

[dull whale]

But i dont have drawing ability

[teal dust]

me neither

yet I was able to make some convincing weapon models/textures for my game via experimentation

fun fact I didnt do any blender courses before except like 1/4th of the donut one

[dull whale]

İs it wrong i use aı?

[teal dust]

I mean

its probably not that bad but its not a good practice

you'll get used to it and you wont be able to get any work done without ai

[dull whale]

Thats true

İ agree

[teal dust]

why would it

yes it is based on karlson but I didnt use any of the assets/code from it (unlike the LH games clone)

you can see it is made entirely from scratch looking at the first video and comparing to other videos on this thread

[dapper garnet]

how did you finish karlson before dani

you finished karlson and gave it multiplayer

wait is billy in multiplayer

does he just walk around and get shot at

[teal dust]

billy isnt in multiplayer

multiplayer and singleplayer are entirely different projects

the codebase is very different at this point

[dapper garnet]

so you made karlson

finished it

and made a multiplayer dlc

how do you work so fast

my adhd fears you

Well, finished the fundamentals, from what i can see now its map design and polishing, but my point still stands

[silk dagger]

Muck.

[teal dust]

it does not

I mean it kinda does but I dont consider this a full game

it still misses things like enemies

probably wont get finished since I focused on the multiplayer more

[teal dust]

Where is Dani!? Did Dani die!?

[teal dust]

cool

[silk dagger]

Add enemies and boss to your game (OR U CANT DO THAT?!)

[teal dust]

might do when I release mp

[lilac spade]

Add a zen mode where enemies just spawn and the player kill as how many as they can until a certain time ends (or you can't do that?)

[cobalt echo]

@teal dust how is this project going?

[teal dust]

havent worked on it much, but it's coming along very nicely

really only stuff left to do is transferring logic to the server and making EOS work

you can expect a release in like several weeks or something if I get my ass back to work

I like to call it carl's son for now, will have a better name when released

#1221879012058595378 message

i got billy

[acoustic solar]

can you give me your billy script my script sucks

[teal dust]

no its just an upwards force being applied when both legs are on the ground

theres a simple state machine for it too for states like idle, falling etc. but you should be able to implement it easily

[glad condor]

thats awesome

[acoustic solar]

i dont realy get it

also how do you make the ragdoll?

@teal dust

[teal dust]

what part of that message dont you get

I just add an upwards force to the head equal to gravity*total mass

the legs are connected with characterjoints to the head iirc

controlled with the builtin unity animation rigging package

[lucid charm]

I dont think he understands the physics

[sleek grail]

ooga, booga, get silly invisible box with silly invisible tool
glue billy parts with silly invisible string
when billy on ground, punt billy in the chin with invisible billy clone

[acoustic solar]

I found out how to do it but different

[teal dust]

fully server-ized shooting, cant be seen on video but yes

need to keep the thread alive somehow

getting close to release though, need to move over the player movement to the server and do some sanity checks on the guns before first release

[acoustic solar]

awesome

[glad condor]

looks so fire

[teal dust]

[cobalt echo]

Looks great! Was it hard to implement this Replication?

[teal dust]

not that hard, fishnet handles basically everything

[cobalt echo]

Fishnet? Online subsystem or what is that

[teal dust]

unity networking library

fish networking

https://fish-networking.gitbook.io/docs

it supports lots of transports, like EOS or steamworks

so I can use those services for free lobbies, matchmaking or stuff like that

[cobalt echo]

Yeah, Online subsystem its called.

Nice

[teal dust]

and its freeeeeee

[cobalt echo]

Really?

[teal dust]

yeah even has free prediction

has a pro tier but the free one is enough for most games

[cobalt echo]

I couldnt find a good online subsystem that isnt pricy for UE

[teal dust]

doesnt UE have its own networking?

[cobalt echo]

It has

But the default system works only locally

Online you need EOS, which is available as a plugin, which is pricy again tho

[karmic basalt]

the eos transport for fishnet sucks

[teal dust]

it really does

but at least it works after some work

well I havent gotten it to work yet but most of the stuff that is supposed to work works

[teal dust]

huh, its free for unity as a thirdparty package

[cobalt echo]

I am currently tryna host a dedicated server on my pc for a brawl stars clone im making

[cobalt echo]

Wait

[teal dust]

https://github.com/PlayEveryWare/eos_plugin_for_unity

[cobalt echo]

Mmh

Gimme a sec

I see. You need to publish the game to epic tho, as you need appID

Which I am not planning on doing, its just a lil project I am doing for a vid

You could use the EOS Plugin for Unity, if you intend on publishing it in the Epic Games Store

[teal dust]

not really

I got it working with just making an app on the epic dev portal

[cobalt echo]

...

[teal dust]

I know some duders which use EOS/fishnet on native quest 2

[cobalt echo]

Well it appears that I might habe missread the documentation

[teal dust]

if you need help with this you better ask another person lol

I only know what I told you from trial and error, so it might be entirely wrong

but I didnt need to publish the game on the store, just making an app on the dev portal was enough

if its free then I will publish it on epic store, why not

welp

[cobalt echo]

I see. Would have been good to know that from the start lol. But now I already server software + clients who can connect to it so ig Im good

Maybe for future projects tho

Does it provide like online hosting and connections for players without IP + portwarding?

[teal dust]

I dunno, might work so that the lobby host is the server and EOS tunnels the connection

[cobalt echo]

Probably

[teal dust]

I dont really know though, I only need it to work lmao

[cobalt echo]

But Listen Servers tend to be laggy, but you said FishNet has free acc prediction?

[cobalt echo]

Real.

[teal dust]

yeah prediction is free, although some lag-compensating features are locked behind the pro tier

https://fish-networking.gitbook.io/docs/master/pro-and-donating

[cobalt echo]

Mmh but it works for you?

[teal dust]

prediction?

[cobalt echo]

Like playing without lag of animations etc.

But you dont have character animations so ig thats a factor

Atleast so far I could tell

[teal dust]

oh the prediction isnt really predicting animations or shit like that afaik

its just running for example movement code on both client and server so the client cant cheat

[cobalt echo]

Oh I see. Missunderstood it there

[teal dust]

you really would be better off asking another person for this

[cobalt echo]

Alright 😉

[teal dust]

im entirely educated on this by experimenting

[cobalt echo]

Anyways, great project

[teal dust]

thanks, wish you great luck on your multiplayer game too

[cobalt echo]

Thank you

[teal dust]

slice direction is now decided by player movement

random when standing, left/right when moving left/right

[silk dagger]

Bean!

[teal dust]

end of ze world

[cobalt echo]

killer bean

[glad condor]

sick slicing

[acoustic solar]

i use photon

[teal dust]

photon's absurdly expensive when you have more than 20 CCU

fishnet + EOS is completely free

[acoustic solar]

the free one

i can only have 20 people tho

plus all my games are vr games

and im too dumb to know how to use fish net

[teal dust]

so yeah once your game gets more than 20 concurrent players youre screwed

[acoustic solar]

ik lol

[teal dust]

alright

[acoustic solar]

but that will never happen

[teal dust]

this is my first time using fishnet too, but I prefer being safe than to spend way too much money because im lazy

[teal dust]

you can never know

[acoustic solar]

how long have you been working on carl`s son

[teal dust]

uhh

when did I create this post

end of january

so I was working for 1 month, then didnt work for another month and im working again now

[acoustic solar]

so 3 months

[teal dust]

not really

[acoustic solar]

oh

you had it for 3 months

[teal dust]

yes

[acoustic solar]

my game has been less than a month

[teal dust]

epic

anyways im expecting a first release in a week or two

(taking that ill be working fast)

[acoustic solar]

LETS GOOO

my game is called karlsons leap

where the audio?

[glad condor]

good q

[dapper garnet]

my brother in christ, how have you remastered a game that isnt even out yet

[teal dust]

[teal dust]

respawn!1!1!!

its a little buggy at times but fixing it right now

[acoustic solar]

insane

[winged lagoon]

Just curious those test textures are identical to Karlson's
Did you remake them yourself? If not did you get them from somewhere?

[sleek yacht]

Where is Dani!? Did Dani die!?

Dani is fine. He is still working on his newest game/video. This takes a lot of time since he has to do two time consuming things on his own. You can find more information about it [here](#✅-general message)

[winged lagoon]

Currently in the prototyping phase of my game I just want something nice to look at tbh. Those have always been nice to look at

[teal dust]

cc0 texture tile

[winged lagoon]

Thank you very much

[teal dust]

specifically the tile107

I cut it down to only have 1 tile per texture

anyways death!!!

need to make the "explosion" particles a bit denser, tested the deathmatch with a friend too and it felt p cool

[glad condor]

death!!!!

[teal dust]

tested with some friends again, with all the current issues fixed

at this rate the game might get released in like half a week

[acoustic solar]

best game ever

[cobalt echo]

Carls Son shall be the greatest game ever released

when is it releasing for Xbox and PlayStation

[teal dust]

never

epic games is being a bitch and stopping progress

[storm hedge]

BEAN

[solar fossil]

how did you do dropping weapons? I am asking cuz i am confused with my third person game and could use a similar system for my half life 2 style game

[cobalt echo]

ayo Mirage Dev release when?

[knotty pivot]

epic game my dude

[teal dust]

uhhhhhhhhhhh

im trying to get the match scene to load on the network still

finished dealing with EOS being stupid and another stupid issue comes in

[teal dust]

making the weapon rigidbody kinematic/non-kinematic based on if the weapon is dropped or not, and interpolating the weapon to the player hand whenever the player picks it up

if you interpolate the weapon on update depending on if its grabbed then it also gives a slight weapon sway effect

[teal dust]

at least I've done a lot of progress which I didnt post here yet

proper hitmarkers, client side prediction (if I can call it that) of shots, main menu, spiced up the map, fixed a lot of movement/shooting issues

and I got absolutely destroyed by my friend who never played the game before when we were testing

[glad condor]

nice

[obsidian fiber]

bro is actually making the thing

[teal dust]

yipee lobbies work, just some small stuff left

[winged lagoon]

I feel like fusion would've been a better choice tbh

It's built for competitive fast paced games and comes with a ton of things to back that

Flexible security features too

I understand how hard it is to switch solutions though. I'm painfully doing it now

[teal dust]

100 CCU free limit though, very unlikely that I get past that but if I do then I would be absolutely fucked

fishnet also has a lot of features free, and developing the other stuff from scratch is a good exercise of networking programming

learning how to use EOS also helps a lot, since EOS is very cool and gives lots of things for free

its really similar though as I have used PUN once (hope its not too different from fusion), not much of a difference except I didnt have to fiddle around with Epic

iirc fusion also doesnt give client side prediction builtin for free

[teal dust]

I mean the stuff which im using is free from what ive read

which is just lobbies, aka service to relay and search P2P connections

if it isnt free then please correct me

[teal dust]

hoping to do a release by the end of this week or even earlier

[cobalt echo]

[glad condor]

free is always better

who the hell wants to pay for servers

with EOS your game can scale to fortnite amounts of data free

literally worry free

releasing a popular game shouldn't put your ass in debt

[teal dust]

yeah and EOS provides free matchmaking so when I do get some servers I can use them for it

[winged lagoon]

I'm lost what's EOS

Also yeah my bad I somehow forgot you need to pay for more CCU

[teal dust]

epic online services

basically a thing which gives you lots of online game shit like achievements, lobbies (P2P), leaderboards, matchmaking, friends, invitations

https://dev.epicgames.com/en-US/services

[winged lagoon]

What the fuck why have I not heard of this that's awesome

[teal dust]

I dont know either why I havent too lmao, tront told me about it iirc

back when i was deciding on making the game multiplayer

and its completely free from what ive heard

[winged lagoon]

Seems like its far superior to a lot of solutions

I hope there isn't a catch of some sorts because that's crazy

[teal dust]

especially when they dont straight off host your game on their servers but provide alternative solutions (from what ive understood)

like lobbies is just a relay

[winged lagoon]

That's awesome as heck I need to look into this more

[teal dust]

yeah I really recommend it

it took me a long while to get working with fishnet and shit but entirely worth it

ez lobbies

[winged lagoon]

Oh so I shouldn't really be using any solutions like pun or fusion for this?

I might go with NetCode and this then. I've always wanted to learn NetCode for a while

[teal dust]

I dont really know, not experienced in these kinds of things, but EOS+fishnet is free and PUN/fusion isnt entirely

[teal dust]

im using fishnet instead of netcode, dont really know why lmao, tront recommended it

but theyre very similar if I read correctly

[winged lagoon]

I was looking into fishnet but netcode just seemed a bit more appealing

[teal dust]

best part about EOS is that you can even use it on steam, it doesnt require publishing the game on EGS

and the best part about fishnet is that it supports LOTS of platforms

yeah you can even use photon services with fishnet

[winged lagoon]

Damn FishNet is loaded

[teal dust]

yep

[teal dust]

well that was intense

my friend is still beating my ass

[tiny hare]

I smell competition

[teal dust]

still targeting this week for release, everything going alright

[teal dust]

it is

literally super fun

[tiny hare]

btw what are you using to make maps?

[teal dust]

unity

probuilder

[dapper garnet]

the people are so tired of waiting we have made Karlson ourselves

if its not titled Karl’s Son i will riot

[teal dust]

its a completely different game by now, only inspired by karlson, not intended to be a complete clone

[glad condor]

i am

[teal dust]

uh minigun

gotta keep the thread alive

but ive been doing everything on schedule for now, still hoping that the game will get released this week

[tiny hare]

good af sway script

Share? :3

[cobalt echo]

Mirage when release

[teal dust]

still aiming for this week

game is basically done except main menu, sfx and match logic

main menu has some minor stuff left to do and match logic should be pretty fast to make

[teal dust]

sending in dms

[acoustic solar]

This took so long to make it took 5 hours

[dapper garnet]

Mirage will it cost money

[teal dust]

no, at least the itch.io version

if I make enough money from donations and enough monthly CCU then ill publish it on steam for like 3 or 5 bucks

though I doubt it will ever reach 20 ccu

[merry night]

i wouldnt risk making money off of someone else's property. dani might not do anything but i still wouldn't recommend it

[teal dust]

what why is it someone elses property

didnt I already say like 5 times that this is a completely different game now with just the movement (and some objects, which will be remodeled) inspired by karlson

[sleek yacht]

Fake karlson ads!

Don't click on any ads of karlson that you may see online! They are scams. Report them to your browser. For more information please see [this message](#🔆-server-announcements message) in #🔆-server-announcements.

[teal dust]

entire code is also written from scratch (which can be shown by looking at different videos from this channel) unlike some other karlson clones

again im not trying to release this as a karlson clone/ripoff/remake

yes it is VERY similar to karlson, but thats because it turned into a custom fps from a karlson remake

[merry night]

then it's fine to release ig

[cobalt echo]

but why is it here lol

but @teal dust times runnin! almost sunday

[teal dust]

ik 😭

but its almost done

[cobalt echo]

thats great

[teal dust]

I need sfx and match logic now

[cobalt echo]

I see

match logic? just make it some free for all type shit, there doesnt need to be alot of logic, just repsawn players + increase score when they kill

[teal dust]

yeah thats what im doing, just need to make a timer and match UI (like the ending podium and killfeed)

[cobalt echo]

I see

so there is an ending time, like matches arent timeless

[teal dust]

yeah

there will be game options and mode picker in a later update

[cobalt echo]

nice

[teal dust]

theres so much left to do aaaaa

literally did 1 thing today which was killfeed

[acoustic solar]

GO QUICK AND GO ZOOM

[teal dust]

yeah no im moving the release by a few days

id prefer to release a good product instead of a half baked thing that doesnt fully work

[cobalt echo]

when release mirage

[teal dust]

yes

idk I can send a video but release will likely be tomorrow

[cobalt echo]

How did you manage Players connecting? Did you build like a "Connect to + IP" thingy or made server browser?

[teal dust]

lobby browser

EOS lobbies are just relays btw, the host acts like the server and EOS relays the client connections to the host

[cobalt echo]

I see, so players make listen servers + EOS as the online subsystem allows them to connect without having to give out IPs

[teal dust]

yeah

[cobalt echo]

gotta remember that for next game lol

[teal dust]

was p hard to setup and still has some playerlist bugs but it works

has a limit of 64 players per lobby though

[cobalt echo]

reasonable

imagine 100 player tf

[teal dust]

yeah free is a good price for that

[cobalt echo]

https://tenor.com/view/dani-youtube-milkman-karlson-dev-gif-19039532

Very good price indeed

[teal dust]

yep

[cobalt echo]

btw this might be the biggest threat on server so far lmao

except for main but yk

with nearly 600 msg

[teal dust]

lmao fr

funi how it was created just 4 months ago lol

[acoustic solar]

[dapper garnet]

Mirage you a fucking madman you know that?

You have released a remaster and a DLC of a game that hasnt even released, and you have done this in like 5 months

ok youve made them

but you have essentially finished the multiplayer

[teal dust]

[charred yarrow]

this is a really good fan made karlson

[teal dust]

thanks

[charred yarrow]

i have one question how did add multiplayer?

[teal dust]

pain

and suffering

eh it was mostly just experimenting with the fishnet library and reading the docs

you cant really simply answer a question like that

[charred yarrow]

thats fine just wanted to say its looks good.👍

[cobalt echo]

Mirage!

When release

I cant wait to 1v1 ya

[teal dust]

uh was gonna do last week but then it went to yesterday but it looks like itll be released sometime this week

[teal dust]

[teal dust]

I like orange juice

[tardy mauve]

but i don't think you like death

[teal dust]

I do

[tardy mauve]

then why didn't you commit self not live a long time ago

[teal dust]

[cobalt echo]

Medals round my neck because I won, I won 🎶

[teal dust]

releasing tomorrow probably

everything seems to be done

[knotty pivot]

Ooh!

[knotty pivot]

Gonna play it 100%

[tired sphinx]

nice i want to try this out

[teal dust]

itch.io page done, uploading and releasing tomorrow hopefully

[knotty pivot]

[teal dust]

released just now

itch.io with the title VORTEX

[charred yarrow]

What it look like I can’t find it lol

[teal dust]

spiral posted it in #🌟-promotion

you can also find it on my itch.io profile

[torpid thorn]

I’ve just skimmed this whole thread, @teal dust you’re crazy you know that?

[teal dust]

anyways uh 0.1-1 released, make sure to play it or I steal your milk or smth idk

[torpid thorn]

I will give it a test run when I get home, can finally stop replaying those old karlson beta maps over and over

[teal dust]

public testing lobby open if anyone wants to play frfr

[teal dust]

fun

[torpid thorn]

I like

so far only a couple changes I would make

• nerf shotgun omg its insane
• buff ar its a pea shooter
• rn you can spam r and hold left click and basically shoot infinitely

but I love the game its very fun

@teal dust is there a knife weapon or did I just get super unlucky weapon RNG?

[teal dust]

no knife ingame yet

there is a model and it already has materials but it isnt available for matches yet

thanks for the playtest though!

[torpid thorn]

yet ? 👀

this gameplay is dumb and low quality but the game is veri smooth

I nuked the bitrate so I can send it lol

[teal dust]

lmao I love this

[teal dust]

yeah there needs to be some sort of melee weapon right

[torpid thorn]

I think it would be funny trying to chase players around with a knife cus youre stuck with it 😭 but maybe it could be a secondary I dont know how much harder you want to work on this game seeing as you cranked the whole thing out in like a couple months

oo what if you added that sword you showed way earlier so people with melee can grapple around and be fast af so they stand a chance

[teal dust]

yeah could use that

and yes it will be secondary

[torpid thorn]

sounds good man keep us up to date

[frigid warren]

KARLSON AT HOME GO BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR 👹 👹

[tired sphinx]

is it me or is that bean lookin kinda THICC

[cobalt echo]

@teal dust hey buddy, how is the sfx design going? btw are you ready for another 1v1

[teal dust]

game already has full sfx (gotta improve the gunshots a bit though)

[cobalt echo]

alr hit me up when 1v1

i will be even better with sfx trust

[teal dust]

I mean thats p true

you can hear where enemies are walking/shooting and stuff

[torpid thorn]

you should make a map more open like original karlson beta map

https://fxtwitter.com/KarlsonGame/status/1222100867383529474

[teal dust]

I dont really want to recreate karlson yk

[torpid thorn]

yea yea ik ik

[teal dust]

I'm currently remoddeling most of the stuff and changing things to make the game not look like karlson

[torpid thorn]

thats good

I was just showing as an example cus its super open and makes it more movement oriented rather than favoring people who hide and camp

[teal dust]

yeah my map does need a remake

[teal dust]

[teal dust]

havent been posting much here since I moved every update/devlog to the game's discord server (linked on the game page)

[torpid thorn]

damn this game a big deal now huh

I remember the humble beginnings smh

[teal dust]

[knotty pivot]

same

[wary seal]

tf

[teal dust]

lmao

[wary seal]

sued for defamation smh

[teal dust]

real

[knotty pivot]

Hype, @teal dust am getting a new laptop in the next two weeks, will be able to play this at last!

[teal dust]

epic

[acoustic solar]

Where do i get the game

[acoustic solar]

found it

[acoustic solar]

@solemn acorn https://m1ragedev.itch.io/vortex

[acoustic solar]

i have 20 people playing my game and i use photon💀

[cobalt echo]

epic hidden cost inc

[old willow]

epic work

[dapper garnet]

good god, he did it.

[iron mesa]

brother the UI is better than all of the games I ever made 💀

[teal dust]

thanks

also no this game isnt dead, just not posting devlogs here anymore, you can join the discord which is linked on the game page for updates

[dapper garnet]

mirage what the flying fuck
you are literally becoming Dani

[teal dust]

nah I'm not as majestic as Dani

I'm just a random duder trying to make a fun game lmao

[old meteor]

Can I have a copy

[teal dust]

whar

[dire trellis]

Dang I can't see anything on mobile. But it seems like you're working hard on Vortex. Keep up the good work man 😄

[dire trellis]

Alright time to join the discord

[teal dust]

thank you!

[slate mantle]

Vortex is pretty good, i played with my friends. For the ak47 gun, when you hold right click to enhance your aim, it blocks your view, so maybe fix that?

[teal dust]

already done in the upcoming 0.2 update

[slate mantle]

Alright

[teal dust]

you can see how it looks in the discord server

[slate mantle]

Inv?

[teal dust]

theres a link on the game page

[slate mantle]

Aifht

Can you check players playing in your game btw

[teal dust]

hold tab

shows a bigger leaderboard showing kills and deaths

wait what

wdym check players

[slate mantle]

Like, can you see how many players are playing your game

As a dev

[teal dust]

yes but its mostly inacurrate

[slate mantle]

Aight

Verify button wont verify

[teal dust]

might make my custom dev portal since right now the only one that shows me analytics is the EOS one

[slate mantle]

I think your game is pretty cool though, especially if you have a lot of friends

[teal dust]

thanks!

[cobalt echo]

@teal dust still working on Vortex?

[teal dust]

yep

just posting devlogs on the discord server instead of here

[teal dust]

just released a huge update, mainly adding an actual player character model and discord login, make sure to check it out!

[glad condor]

Heckin big update

[shut tangle]

wow just what i was looking for, re-watching dani's karlson series for the 5th time.. will check it out

[cobalt echo]

wait new weapons?

👀

[teal dust]

yeee, 0.2 added 3 new weapons

deagle was also added but in an older update

glock and rifle were upgraded in an older update too

[dapper garnet]

mirage add minigun and rpg this is clearly the next step

[glad condor]

i thought we already had minigun?!

RPG is good idea

[teal dust]

minigun is already there, RPG sounds good though

gotta fix the game first though, its less playable than ever because bugs

[cobalt echo]

will you make an rpg similar to tf2? so you can do like sick jumps 👀

[teal dust]

sure why not

[cobalt echo]

[old willow]

gigachad request

[glad condor]

when rpg update

[teal dust]

uh I may or may not have gotten addicted to ksp again

so vortex stuff will be going much slower

[solemn acorn]

The game looks awesome played it a bit but i would defo add like bots or like a campaign cause if there's no servers up there would be something people could enjoy and if you want to i would defo make the game a little more fast pace

[solemn acorn]

There is also this issue if you release the slide button early you will get stuck

[teal dust]

thank you! bots will definitely come in a later update

[teal dust]

ah right there are some spots on the map where you can do this, will get it fixed, thanks!

[solemn acorn]

👍

[dapper garnet]

oh theres already minigun
cool
gernade laumcher

explosives update

add rpg
gernade laumcher
throwable grenades/ molotovs
and a stick with an RPG projectile taped to it for a melee

and make all of them fucking

F L I N G

you

like im talking ultrakill max damage jackhammer levels of fling

shoot an rpg at your feet and fly so high you can high five god

also flamethrower would be pretty cool

feels necessary to add i have not played the game a single time in my life

[torpid thorn]

we can tell

[cobalt salmon]

@teal dust invite me to the discord, the discord link on itch expired

[teal dust]

wait really?

I thought I made it infite lmao

[eager wadi]

What texture did u use for the tiles?(i'm trying to make my own recreation, but with multiplayer)

[torpid thorn]

I think its just one of the default ones from cc0textures (vortex is a multiplayer-only game)

[eager wadi]

ok thanks

[teal dust]

it's the tile107 texture from ambientcg

(formerly cc0textures if I'm correct)

https://ambientcg.com/view?id=Tiles107

[cobalt salmon]

ambientcg my beloved

[supple zealot]

@teal dust discord link in vortex itch page is expired, make a permanent onr

[teal dust]

wtf its the second time

it's literally set as infinite

there

[teal dust]

alright it should be alright now

not sure why it wasn't good before

[cobalt salmon]

do you have your server set as community? it needs to be enabled to make links that don't expire iirc

[teal dust]

yeah

[eager wadi]

hey guys, sorry for bothering you(i'm kinda new to unity), but how exactly do i use a pbr material in unity? i set the normal map and occlusion map but how do i use the roughness map? unity only has a metallic map for urp materials. do i need to make a custom shader?

[torpid thorn]

bro joined the vortex thread to ask for help

start yo own thread plugatron

[glad condor]

doesnt roughness directly correlate to metallic/smooth?

[eager wadi]

well in the first place, smoothness is the opposite of roughness, therefore the map has to be inverted. however if i use the inverted map as a metallic/smooth map the tiles look darker because of the metallic effect.

[cobalt echo]

I think for a metalic effect roughness, but rather specular are important no?

[glad condor]

ah yeah there is also a specular mode

as an alternative to metallic

fr tho, custom shader is worth it if you go that route. You can optimize texture lookups by packing channels

[eager wadi]

Thanks for the help

[lament forum]

Are web developers allowed to be here 👉😖👈?

[pine sinew]

hello i just got here and pretty cool game is it ook if i ask how did you make that jump pad thanks

[teal dust]

it has a trigger collider attached, and whenever it detects that a player has entered it, it just applies a force to the player's rigidbody

[acoustic solar]

that makes sense

[obsidian fiber]

damn this is still going

rly cool

[teal dust]

uh I was supposed to make an update like half a month ago but I got way too addicted to kerbal space program

[dapper garnet]

eagerly awaiting the mirage vs dani legal battle over this game

[cobalt echo]

Probably aint happening as vortex is more of an indipendent multiplayer at this point

[teal dust]

yeah, but it still has a lot of similarities to karlson

[pine sinew]

Wow, ok that was simpler than I thought thanks

[winged lagoon]

Are you using Epic Online Services?

[teal dust]

yeah

[winged lagoon]

I'm trying to feel my way around that. It kind of sucks to work with but hopefully I'll get used to it eventually

Yeah it's definitely worth the pain

[teal dust]

it truly is, the free stuff is so worth it

still cant believe that a thing like EOS exists

[winged lagoon]

Yeah I was shocked too

I'm just so confused by it it's been a rollercoaster of emotions lol

[teal dust]

so true lmao, but it'll be so rewarding when you get it to work

[winged lagoon]

I can only hope

[teal dust]

you working in unity or unreal?

[winged lagoon]

Unity

I don't have the money to pay 100 every second for 2 players using PUN or Fusion

[teal dust]

ah, the api for EOS is pretty weird in unity lol

[teal dust]

[winged lagoon]

I recently found this https://github.com/PlayEveryWare/eos_plugin_for_unity so I'm hoping it might help a little bit. It's official but maintained by a separate company

[teal dust]

yeah that's what I'm using too, since that's the thing which FishyEOS recommends

[winged lagoon]

Good to know I'm going in the right direction

Is FishNet capable of p2p?

[teal dust]

yep that's what Fishy does, uses EOS P2P for networking

[winged lagoon]

That's literally perfect I'm dumping all my NetCode for GameObjects code right now

[teal dust]

but Fishnet can also do other methods like steamworks

[teal dust]

fishnet is awesome

have you seen it's prediction yet?

[winged lagoon]

NO?!

[teal dust]

apparently Fishnet is the only thing that offers free CSP

[winged lagoon]

That's mental

Dude I cant believe I went for NetCode over FishNet

[teal dust]

as well as collider rollback but I can't recall if it's a pro feature or if it's in the free version

[winged lagoon]

I appreciate all the clarification this feels like a pretty solid setup
