I haven't been posting much, but after about 10 months, the goal is nearly achieved. I now have a proper game engine and toolset! I'm shifting my focus to the fun part. Making that small proof of concept game I had in mind. Time to put the tech to the test! #gamedev
Parallax Mapping is now in too. It might not be popular relative to other features, but the number of visual tricks you can pull off with it makes it absolutely essential to me.

I realized I hadn't really tested the engine's interior lighting capabilities yet, so I threw some boxes together for a quick test. No shadows from point lights yet, and no GI of any sort, but still pretty decent results.

Updated my Quake-style lights addon for Godot to v2.1.1. Check the changelog below for details. I hope it lights up your projects!

The execution has always been easy. It’s the game design based on the available resources that takes the most effort.

After over 6.5 years and 3 amazing projects, last Friday was my last at Frictional Games. Working with such brilliant minds blew my expectations away. Learned tons, made awesome friends, and I’m crazy proud of this epic chapter. Sad to say goodbye, but also hyped for the future!

One last addition before jumping into lighting and graphics. Added a simple GUI to manage entity components. A bit rough around the edges, but good enough for now.

Adding, duplicating, and deleting entities is possible in my custom game engine editor now. It's slowly coming together. I still need to implement basic component management before diving into graphics.

Late-night progress. Starting to look like an actual game engine editor.

A humble start for the editor GUI, paired with a very interesting bug 🚀

How it started vs. how it's going.
Building a custom 3D game engine from scratch. Started coding this in between diaper changes this Christmas 🎄👶. Let's see if I can find the spare time to pull this together.
