new Quake map: Breakfast Under The Balloons

AUGUST 12, 2022

I liked the idea of climbing / descending a big weird tree, and building it in Quake would be a big challenge, so that's what I prototyped first. So I divided the bumpy terrain into quadrants, with big tree roots gating each section. The two big influences for this map were Elden Ring and Halo.

Since the last post I’ve been working on the terrain’s vegetation. First off: I learned a lot about Unity’s build in batching system. The foliage shader has an alpha cutout value and uses a texture + culling set to off (it is visible from both sides of the planes). Draw call batching.

The first part of this so-called “Great Utility Update” began during Alpha 12 with a few fundamental mechanical changes, but since then the project remained on the to-do list until 1) even more content was added to the game, and 2) we collected more info about what items people were and were not using, and why.

First I've been working on building a test suite for physics. In order to solve this problem, we use an algorithm similar to Bresenham's line algorithm, which had been implemented in Bullet by Zylann , a Godot contributor who is also behind the Godot Heightmap Terrain plugin. To get ready for an alpha release of Godot 4.0,

Garrisons were originally added to Cogmind in the months after the first Alpha release in 2015 (see an overview here ) as an optional location for players to visit, adding a unique extra dimension to the world to answer the question “what if I infiltrate these things where many enemy squads come from?”

It parses your code and automatically understands what you are trying to do (such as writing to alpha for transparency, reading from screen, etc.) This new implementation is based on Tiled Editor 's Terrains and is fully compatible with previous TileSets. In Godot 3.0, writing shaders is very easy! Visual Scripting.
