Making small games using ordinary (and not so) engines. Godot, Go, Odin+Raylib, PICO-8, TIC-80

Sometimes you just need to learn basics so you know what you're doing.

Odin + Raylib, custom simple lighting and dithering shaders + Trenchbroom maps and basic sphere-to-triangle collisions for the player.
Loads instantaneous. Runs on potato PC.

Welp, stupid code is fun but optimizations are also fun sometimes. So I've made a grid system for the scene to optimize collision detection and drawing. Now every moving object doesn't check every single other one.
Now it can run at 200 fps on and old dual core laptop!

Stupid code is not stupid if it works for you.

Made a simple elastic collisions with naive object querying (every object loops over every other object) and simplest optimizations (if velocity is 0 then don't query).

Still don't know if I need it. Also maybe gonna try Box2D.

Some really small update on the new project I started making literally yesterday.

Gonna be kinda simple arkadey space shooter with some ship configuration, interstellar traveling and (i hope so) fun gameplay!
Need to be sure the controls feel fun first.

Made with #raylib and #odin

A month ago I was promoted to the new position in the dev team of our company. I'm currently in the tech support mostly working with Windows PCs and this promotion was here because I've made some nice progress in fixing software problems with new Linux PCs that were set up in some stores.

Oh wow! That was really unexpected. Guess I need to post more new things then (:

Well, I'm not doing anything besides of main job right now, but I have some plans for Odin gamedev, learning about multithreading and writing some simple turn-based multiplayer.

December is going to be a fun month!

Welp, I need to write some first post, right? So be it.

Hi! I'm a amateur game developer (it's not my job and doesn't bring me money) trying make some small games. Mostly doing game jams with Godot, Odin+Raylib (my beloved), some fantasy consoles etc.

Next posts will be about my jam games
