Typical conversation when I show my game to other devs:
Them: What game engine are you using?
Me: It's my own custom engine.
Them: Why not use Unity/Unreal/Godot?
Me: They're too slow for real-time procedural generation/animation.
Them: Cool! So you're going to sell your engine to other devs right?
Me: Uhh no I made it free and open-source.
In order to stop repeating this conversation, I made this 4 minute video going over Flo, my open-source Rust/Vulkan engine (WARNING: not production ready).
I'm not against selling game developer tools, but this is a small business compared to making a game. My favorite tools like Bevy, Blender, etc. are free products created by non-profit organizations, and plenty of contributors would love to be able to make minimum wage working on stuff like this. Plus I'm better at game design anyways so I don't want to distract myself right now by monetizing the engine, unless I see something that I would pay for myself. The only paid software products I use for gamedev are the AI code editors, and I'm sure I'm costing Anthropic a lot more in server costs than the $200/month Claude Max plan.
Was having trouble simulating realistic water in my @BevyEngine game but one must endure the rain to see the rainbow!! Simplifying things for now by using the pipe method to move vertices up and down on the surface plane. I'm sure I made many mistakes but here's my code snippet: github.com/wkwan/bevy-flu…
