This chapter is all about how I solved it (so far) to be able to place all kinds of assets like 3D-meshes or self-growing fractal seeds on the terrain. The code calculates Instantiations (spawning assets with the given parameters), which is quite heavy for the system to calculate. Before we start. Multithreading.
Optimization Strategies: Static Batching unites several stationary game elements into a single GPU drawing operation (such as terrain together with buildings). Using the Profiler allows developers to detect memory-intensive code sections which they should optimize.
Real Programming 4 Kids would like to profile one of our most advanced teachers, so parents can get a better understanding of what their kids can learn after getting some coding classes under their belts. Our online coding program is for the youth, and extracurricular activities for teens and kids need to be fun first and foremost.
If you ever lurked in Godot source code, and tried to follow the flow of the logic, you most likely noticed that most code related to scene, formats, etc. This would make code more complex, and likely still impact performance due to waiting for mutexes or semaphores. To make this easier, we came up with the concept of Servers.
As I promised in this chapter I will dig deeper into the designing process around the creatures that will be walking on the procedural terrain. I found the following website, al.chemy.org , as a reference for concept artist which exactly belong to the topic above. Designing the game world's creatures.
As a general concept teleportation technology exists in quite a few varieties throughout the world of Cogmind, though the player only has access to some of them. In fact I have two new concepts for teleportation tech, which is kinda funny because of how they evolved out of the same idea.
For the first time this year, Godot participates in the Google Summer of Code ( GSoC ). sdfgeoff is so responsible, he carefully reviews all my commits down to every line of code. My name is Daniel and I am currently working on implementing MIDI support for Godot Engine, as part of the Google Summer of Code program.
Moria’s descendant Angband also included ego items ( over 100 properties), but expanded the concept of randomized items even further by adding the option to activate “Randomly Generated Artifacts,” abbreviated “randarts.” The first roadblock actually has nothing to do with game design at all, but architecture.
Rampant terrain destruction is awesome, by the way ;). Garrison encounter distribution samples, color-coded by category. RIF Installers were already a prefab to begin with, one which (without precedent anywhere else in the game) were actually inserted via a separate hard-coded method, so let’s add it as an encounter instead.
This aligns with the concept that although Exiles prototypes are meant to be very good, they’re also usually flawed in some way, such as eventually breaking down, blowing up in your face, or something in between :P. so I’m all for changing something like this. BREAKING: Renaming Leads to New Mechanics.
TGGW is a linear dungeon, but backtracking to visit certain dungeon features is quite useful at times, so it also includes a convenient map list accompanied by the characters for notable features at that depth--NPCs, stairs, teleporters, mechanical valves, terrain that might contain something… (there is also a key elsewhere on the UI).
Naked simulated AI people ("peeps") arrive and flow across the terrain. In her excellent book Narrative As Virtual Reality , Marie-Laure Ryan outlines some common understandings of virtual: virtual as "digital": inspired by computer concepts like virtual memory. It's a zoomed out perspective, it's not immersive, it's a simulation.
