#gamedev 🎮 #dkgame: Turns out that #physics are *still* hard to get right. Who knew?

I was supposed to go forward...didn't really go that way😅

#gamedev 🎮 #dkgame: Turns out that #physics are pretty hard to get right....and fake physics as well! The vehicles should stay on the plane. As you see they...don't quite do that 😅

#gamedev 🎮 #dkgame: I fixed the spinning and also wrote a part 3 of my sci-fi racing project: mads.blog/sci-fi-racin...

We explore magnets and oscillators.

We just released the demo for Sea of Rifts, our systems-driven naval roguelike RPG!

Take the helm as Captain, assemble a motley crew, and engage in tense, ship-to-ship combat as you explore a shattered reality. RimWorld meets Sunless Sea, with a dash of Dredge thrown in ⛵🐙

#gamedev 🎮 #dkgame: This is one of those few times where you in fact can't spin to win.😔

But it looks hillarious.

#gamedev 🎮 #dkgame: With some amazing help from @freya.bsky.social's awesome Discord community I've gotten some nice levitation thrusters for my hover cars using Harmonic Oscillators.

#gamedev 🎮 #dkgame: First I checked out Hovering, now I'm checking Levitation instead to see if that means something else and it did lead me to some other approaches. Turns out it's a hard problem to solve. Four different approaches on display here.

#gamedev 🎮 #dkgame: We just had our #culturenight here in #denmark and I wrote about it! I was part of an exhibit at PROSA which is one of many #unions here. They provided the Game Workers Guild a space to talk about the game making process: mads.blog/culture-nigh...

#gamedev 🎮 #dkgame: I decided to write a #blogpost about making the racing game I'm working on now to give some insight as to how it can be achieved.

You can find my first post as part of a series here: mads.blog/sci-fi-racin...

#gamedev 🎮 #dkgame: A good friend of mine helped me turn my clunky little hovercar model into something cool that animates! It makes such a big difference.

#gamedev 🎮 #dkgame: Here is a gif of the game I tested at Dev, Test, Repeat last night. You have 6DOF movement and can switch between driving and flying at will. The concept is underutilize here, but allows for some really interesting designs.

#gamedev 🎮 #dkgame: Now using Physics instead of Transform and decided to put in a function to switch between ground and flying mode at will. Could be interesting for a racing game. Gives me 2D and 3D movement.

#gamedev 🎮 #dkgame: Managed to implement variable acceleration. The controller has a little lever on it that makes it feel like you are controlling an actual throttle.

#gamedev 🎮 #dkgame: Made a little 6DOF controller in #unity3d as a #prototype. It only moves a transform right now, so no physics involved, but the idea is there. I am playing using an actual flight stick controller. I've missed those.

#dkgame #gamedev 🎮: We got a #voxel engine addon to dig tunnels, but it was only exposed to GDScript. So I wrote a thin GDScript class and then a C# script to run that GDScript. The bridging was easy. Credit to Godot for that. Using Get(), Set() and Call() present in all Nodes.
