Make a physics based game I said. It will be fun I said. #gamedev

Okay NOW it's working

Totally working as intended. #gamedev #gamedevbugs

Game's prototype is finished. Took about two weeks off/on. After all that work I have: buggy procedural maps w/ nav meshes, an interaction system, chunked ai processing for performance, multiple guns w/ hitscan and projectiles, and a silly game that is both too easy and sort of boring. 😀 #gamedev

I did it! I did the thing! It's procedurally generated mountains, land, and water! #gamedev

I spent hours trying to learn how to flatten my procedural terrain before realizing I could just generate two meshes and layer them..

Anyways, I'm now going to try to make a three-mesh procedural level generator (mountain mesh, water mesh, flat mesh).

Happy to report that my game now has procedurally generated terrain w/ colliders and nav meshes. Not a single bit of vibe coding either! The AI only activate if the player is in their chuck. This map is 5, 5 chunks meaning I have 25 chunks generated and one chunk active. #gamedev

Also, trees.

My idea was good but there was a simpler way to do this! By the end of today I should have large procedural terrain generation with chunking!

I have procedural terrain in my game! Here's the tutorial I followed:

I'm SUPER excited because I have an idea. I can take the height map generated by the noise function and cut it into chucks so my AI will have navigation regions and not lag! #gamedev #procedural

Discovering #selfcare and I have to say that the Hemp Logion from Personal Care completely eliminated by shoulder and back pain. Now I can #program without burning shoulders!

Is this a spotted lantern fly in florida?

A nice teleport effect for the end of levels!

UI Day was fruitful!

I added a flying enemy and the first "boss" battle sequence. I guess the game has a win condition now!

Also, I made a giant map to test on.

It's not much, but it's mine.

From the folder where the export is (I named mine index.html to automatically load thew game, otherwise you need to do "localhost:5173/[filename].html" to load the game. This just runs a load webserver on your machine.

One of my favorite things to do when working in Godot is set up web exports, then run a local webserver with hot reloading. Every time I export the game to web, every localhost machine playing the game reloads. Combining web dev experience with game development is really fun.

It's dangerous to go alone. Take this.

He never said where he got the sword.

I added character select and a wheelchair option today!
