Hi, I'm Amini Allight,
I'm making a multiplayer sandbox game inspired by tabletop roleplaying (with optional VR support), a custom FPGA-based VR headset, a variety of desktop software, dozens of game dev tutorials and much more!

Random question...
If you're a fan of shooters (first person or otherwise), what sort of experiences do you want right now that you don't feel are being provided by current games? Including indies, AA, and AAA.

Recent discussion about the perils of doors in gamedev reminded me of a bug caused by a door in a game you may have heard of called "Half Life 2".
I wrote it up over on Mastodon (I find it's better at long threads):

And some extremely jank SSR, everything in this scene is fudged numbers and synchronization issues.

Almost every PC game ever made generates an identical list of resolutions to choose from, including resolutions that didn't exist when the game was made
This feature is more consistent than not crashing when you tab out
Does anyone know how it works? Is it a library function? A popular code snippet?

It pains me to say this as someone who adores the last two games, but Endless Legend 2 feels like it's had a lot of the flavor sucked out?
Almost everything in EL1 & ES2 had full artworks and long flavor text attached, that's mostly gone in this entry
(Possible it's coming later in early access?)

Are there any games that simulate doing occult research? Decoding ancient texts, doing experiments, making your own deductions about the rules of magic, maybe even learning a made-up language
The closer the gameplay is to actual research the better (non-video media like gamebooks are valid too)

Btw, since I'm planning to use fixed-point, I've made a generic implementation some time ago that supports any bitness, and is for the most part a drop-in replacement for floats. It's just a single C++ header, maybe it'll be useful for others:

Finished this a while ago but here's the new rock primitive
You can pick a different random seed to get different shapes and customize the roughness and the approximate dimensions

I discovered I never rate-limited notification sounds so an error in a user-defined step function it causes the notification sound to play per simulation tick (100 times per second)
If you unmute the video you can hear the result, but keep your volume low
