The game really said "You don't need to see this".

Ekko/Vi funny moments

New Strive patch is lookin good

I initially planned a minimalist style for this project, but the box lighting technique looked so good, it was making the flat colored environments look bad to me, so I tried out making some photo textures with normals, and I think the results look pretty good!

Okay, I figured out the issue with the seams. Rather than calculating the shortest point to project onto, I can instead calculate the dot between the old and new vector at each projected point, and select the point with the smallest angle change. Smooth shaded objects are still fucked though.

And here's the new result. It's a bit messier, there are noticeable seams at the borders, but I think it's getting closer to what we want, you can even see the reflection of the light on the floor below with a bright light.

Experiment making cheap box-shaped lights. It works by calculating the closest point on the box, and then calculating using normal point light code from there. The effect looks okay at first, but I think there are issues with specular highlights and objects underneath the lights.

Been working on implementing joints in my engine, now these boxes stay together a bit better and only fall apart when hit by the player.

Maybe NL was right, The Bazaar might be kinda cooked

I always liked in old Street Fighter games how there were background props you could destroy, so I took a break from "serious" coding to add a destructible crate (this ended up being more difficult to implement than anything else I've done in the past 2 weeks).

So, you're on a first date, and she hits you with this kara throw, wyd?

I haven't posted game dev updates here in a bit and that's cause I haven't really been working on development for a while! But I recently got back into the flow of things and have been having fun iterating on my engine and putting together a skeleton for a fighting game I want to work on!
