UI looks nice. Is it Qt?

YouTube video by Toyful Games Making Custom Car Physics in Unity (for Very Very Valet)

Nice vid on simple car physics (Note to self: make some animation curves for tuning values)

Some options assuming you are writing it yourself:
- first move and resolve horizontal, then move and resolve vertical. (Nice and easy for 2d)
- collide and slide algorithm. (Not tried personally)
- Verlet integration. Decent videos include Wolfire Games Gibbon video and ones by Pikuma

Is this distinct from ‘learned helplessness’?

Not a big time OOP fan, but I don't read the thread this way:
- different physics object type (still using inheritance)
- cache strings
- avoid unnecessary nav stuff
- time slicing :(
- move non physics code out of physics updates/callbacks

All mostly independent of using OOP or not.

Also its a bad idea to do stuff that affects the visuals of your game there because it can cause stuttering due to a variable numbers of physics steps being run per rendered frame

Not a Godot person but... The physics step tries to run at 60hz independent of your frame rate. If it has slow code that pushes your frame rate below 60 it might cause a ‘death spiral’ as the physics step is called multiple times but it can’t catch up.

Today was a close call, but I have once again avoided paying for a cabin bag

Got my MacBook with me, Windows builds are running on GitHub actions, the journey never stop #gamedev

Sometimes you just wanna write a cloth simulation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes!!!

Nice lib, thanks for sharing !

Uploading an app to apple and waiting for notarisation to complete Uploading an app to apple and waiting for notarisation to complete - package_mac.sh

Here's the full notarisation script. Figuring all that out was a pain

A terminal showing a file being uploaded to itch.io with butler

A screenshot of the itch.io website backend showing a successfully uploaded Mac app

Packaging is now down with `./premake package`, and uploading to @itch.io with `./premake publish`.

Feels good 😎

A git diff of a bash script showing the change from using altool to upload Mac apps for notarisation, to notarytool. The new script is much shorter: xcrun notarytool submit --team-id ${TEAM_ID} --apple-id ${UNAME} --password ${PASS} --verbose --wait --timeout 5m ${APP_NAME}.zip

Got packaging and notarizing Mac builds working from the command line with notarytool. Honestly this is much better than the old way with altool #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Shadow effect looks nice, although I'd keep it at a constant angle & offset as if the source is in the top left. Having it move around feels kind of disorientating

Ah yes, the way to fix that is to first inform the computer that you would like to store, and it will make an exception

Feeling sick, but enjoying this in bed

Tried improving my GLSL workflow in sublime text with syntax highlighting + linting. Unfortunately the linting package needs a PR merged and glslangValidator.exe's --glsl-version flag appears to be broken... Still better than nothing #opengl

Whelp. Today I think I made a proof of concept vector class implementation with swizzles _without templates_

Instead it generates types with macros all with a 'common initial sequence' to avoid UB. Not saying it's a good ideas, but I think it works? github.com/thomashope/v...

Yes you can!!

I think I'm close to having enough gameplay to make a demo for the car game but feeling a bit stuck 😖

Instead I fixed up some maths code and debugged lighting in this old FPS test scene. Worth doing I guess #gamedev #indiedev

The way I've seen testing done always depends a lot on the project, but if you're gut says you need it I'd trust it.

If you have serialization code you can use to make initial / success / fail states that's a start. Poor mans solution is to have some 'zoo' levels & UI to skip through them quickly

Any chance of a Gilbert 8 colour pride flag?

Posted past midnight so it counts #screenshotsaturday

Nitrous drifting baybeee lets goooo #gamedev #indiedev

I think the game has got to a size where the hot reload button in visual studio just doesn’t work any more :(

Had another playtest today and did some editor polishing. Feeling like I need to touch grass rn though... #gamedev #indiedev

Working on the level editor
