#gamedev 🎮 #dkgame: I decided to write a #blogpost about making the racing game I'm working on now to give some insight as to how it can be achieved.

You can find my first post as part of a series here: mads.blog/sci-fi-racin...

#gamedev 🎮 #dkgame: A good friend of mine helped me turn my clunky little hovercar model into something cool that animates! It makes such a big difference.

I want to capture the same feelings that games such as F-Zero and Wipeout give from their fantastically impractical racing but also animated movies about racing like Redline or films like Speedracer.

#gamedev 🎮 #dkgame: Here is a gif of the game I tested at Dev, Test, Repeat last night. You have 6DOF movement and can switch between driving and flying at will. The concept is underutilize here, but allows for some really interesting designs.

#gamedev 🎮 #dkgame : Yesterday I went to the Danish bi-monthly event "Dev ➤ Test ➤ Repeat" and took some pictures and played some games. If you are in or around Copenhagen, come be part of it next time! It's free and you get pizza!

#gamedev 🎮 #dkgame: Now using Physics instead of Transform and decided to put in a function to switch between ground and flying mode at will. Could be interesting for a racing game. Gives me 2D and 3D movement.

To get more of the #vibe I'm going for listen to this while you watch the clip: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRd6...

A great piece by #twrp which really encapsulates the emotions and high energy I want to end up at. A dream would be an OST from them some day.

#gamedev 🎮 #dkgame: Managed to implement variable acceleration. The controller has a little lever on it that makes it feel like you are controlling an actual throttle.

#gamedev 🎮 #dkgame: Made a little 6DOF controller in #unity3d as a #prototype. It only moves a transform right now, so no physics involved, but the idea is there. I am playing using an actual flight stick controller. I've missed those.

I feel like you should work on bringing circular tables back.

Step 1: Find a table that is round and also good.
Step 2: Host it.

(jokes aside, great post!)

I've always wondered why the default behaviour is double click. It's tedious. I understand not loading something into memory unless you need it, but then make it toggleable and then have it be default behaviour to single click. Little UX stuff like this all over Godot.

Reminds me a bit of this guy; www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_rz...

It shows once again that, if we all wrote super performant code all the time, we'd likely be no farther than quad-core CPUs at this point.

Yes. Patents are a very old system that allowed inventors to make money off of their inventions before everyone else figured out the tech. An inventor's advantage so to speak. But since then, the system has been abused and exploited to hell.

Patents are given even if they are not sound. They need to be tested in court to test validity really.

After 4 years, Mind Diver @minddivergame.bsky.social , our deduction game set inside a mind, is launching in TWELVE DAYS!

Each day before launch, I will share reflections about making and releasing a game in 2025! If you see this, plz repost, so I can join bsky for real 🙏

"What's your shutter speed?"
"A crisp 25.2 km/h"

I guess conceptually if something happens over a shorter duration it is, by and large, faster than if it happened over a longer duration.

So in that sense, shutter *speed* does work, rather than something like shutter "duration".

It's also just a threat to other humans. When electric vehicles were quite new, yet also starting to get some traction, there were accidents with people who literally could not hear the car coming.

"Fake vroom vroom sounds" have more utility than people realise.

For anyone thinking "should I?"

The answer is yes. Yes you should.

Next up; Can sand be food?

I think the idea was there when bluesky was in development, but even the lead guy (Jack, previous owner of twitter) dipped out long before bluesky was open to the public.

So it kind of just exists and appears to be waiting for the community to spontaneously just make it work 🤷

And this is true! I decompiled one of my favourite games once, Shadowrun: Hong Kong, because the game ran pretty badly. After seeing the code, I understand why. My lord. But I still love the game.

Decompile any of your favourite games from steam and you'll find that many codebases are bad.

Fair enough. I misunderstood.

@acerola.gg is currently working on higher abstraction shader features, maybe something to look into?

Called Acerola-Compute on his GitHub.

When will wasps be held accountable for spreading radiation??

Dealing with fae.

I feel like it's a perfect game for VR racing perhaps.
