I made a DCEL for #ProcGen dungeons. I'm working on the "Just make it exist" part of the meme. I'll add the "dark and scary" later. E.g. I'll fix the door gap, add room variety, and flesh it out with real art, enemies, and dimly lit torches.

#IndieDev trick. Spawn debug soccer balls to quickly test whether the visible geometry and physical geometry are aligned.
And of course, it makes game dev more fun. 🙂

Why does your game have finger guns?
Actually, strike that.
Why does every game not have finger guns?

I'll be working on dungeons, mines, and caves soon. What games should I reference for "good dungeon design"?

Anim bug is fixed.
Video:
Weak first skeleton. Flinches take over all animation and prevent other actions. (He's stunned during the flinch.)
Second skeleton is stronger. Same animation but additive and reduced by 70%. He's hit, but not stunned. He can still counter-attack.

I have a bug where the client thinks a skeleton has been killed, but the server says otherwise. This is known as Bad™.

I'm an #IndieDev building a custom engine for my medieval fantasy survival game.
Some things I've done so far:
Simulation with client / server networking
Basic DX12 renderer
Asset pipeline
Character movement and animation
#ProcGen world creation
Basic UI
Basic Audio
Basic Health / Combat

There's a 1:1 mapping from a square grid to a hex grid. First scoot every other row over by half of a square (see back grid below). Then bend the horizontal lines so they angle up and down as they connect the verticals (see blue lines).
Might not solve the original problem, but it exists.

This sprouted in my yard out of nowhere. It's either a beautiful flower that I've never seen before or an alien that's going to kill me in my sleep. Does anyone know which one?

Let's play "Spot the bug".
This is code I just wrote to process animation events. When a certain point in an animation is played, FireEvent() is called. This results in a sound being played. 🎵
Symptoms: The first event worked fine. After that, the sound always played twice.
Solution in thread. 🧵

Personally, I would paint the rivers as going in one edge through the middle of the tile, and then going out of another edge. Then you just connect river edges together to form the rivers. This image has an example from a board game:

I've used it. It's raw assets so it won't be integrated into Unreal or Unity or whatever engine. But my experience was smooth. Assets are usually pretty cheap there, but you can find free assets (see screenshot) if you want to give them a try with no risk.

Nice demo!
I notice that in this spot the line hits the wall and then snaps about sixty degrees left. If it rotated smoothly left, I think it would properly follow you around that corner. Is that possible?

Questions for #IndieDev who have shipped a game with store bought assets:
Did you get any feedback from your players (not other #GameDev, but actual players) about your store bought assets?
Did anyone actually rate your game lower?
Or mention it in their review?
Any other fallout?
