Lumencraft is a top-down shooter with base-building elements where you're a lonely little digger sent into bug infested underground caves. The game is made in Godot Engine 3, with many custom-made technologies that enable a fully destructible environment, fluid simulation and dynamic lighting. We launch on Windows and Linux for now.

I’d like to talk about some of these examples today and examine how best to build meaning in our games. I would never have bet on a ultra-detailed dwarf simulator using ASCII art. Consider the case of Fortnite, which started as a game about building forts while fighting off waves of zombies.

Computer software like Unreal Engine has been in the works to build 3D models of structures. Its convenient features allow architects and Unreal Engine developers to build immersive environments from scratch. Over this, you can start building the rest of the design which includes buildings, neighborhoods, grass, trees, foliage, etc.

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. Multi-threaded physics simulation. Test framework.

At the same time, trying to build new tooling now while so much is still up in the air can lead to simply redoing everything later. Most of the teams have accepted new reality and are preparing to make the most out of uncertain terrain. The fact that most MMPs have various approaches is definitely worrying.

The interesting part is that you can see all these statues on the way in, foreshadowing potentially difficult bottlenecks on the way out (assuming you can’t directly confront and outright destroy all the living statues, a decent assumption for many builds). Architecture.

I want to know if there is some specific structural quality that is shared by Chess and Go and Poker and Bridge and Magic: the Gathering, some recognizable topological feature of their state space terrain. And if there is then I want to see it, and be able to talk about it and reason about its ramifications. What depth isn’t.

all drawings by Eleanor Davis "We Dwell in Possibility" (WeDIP) is a new queer gardening simulation game about planting bodies and ideas, and watching them grow into a kinetic landscape. It's a zoomed out perspective, it's not immersive, it's a simulation. Naked simulated AI people ("peeps") arrive and flow across the terrain.
