@machineloveus As for using Rust its been great but at the time lacking a lot of the libraries that other languages have. Its a lot better now but the gamedev scene is still pretty new so you'll be on your own most of the time. Things like gfx-hal are exciting though and having rayon is great.

@machineloveus I use blender for creating models and kritia/gimp for textures. Programming is done in VSCode. Gitlab for CI Builds. And that's pretty much it. Models are converted using my own tool and the UI is built with FunGUI.

@machineloveus I don't know of any sadly. UniverCity is just a 3d game for the most part which gets around the normal ordering issues with sprite based isometric games. The only thing I do differently is render with a orthographic viewport and angle it to look isometric. gist.github.com/Thinkofname/7c…

Remodeled flowers and the plant pots. They are no longer flat 'circles' on top of a pot. #gamedev #indiedev

Maybe I should play with Godot again at some point and see if I like it.

My main issue with them originally was finding bugs and not being able to fix them but Godot is open source which kinda solves that issue.

Sometimes I wonder if I should give in and start using a game engine like Godot instead of writing my own all the time. I feel like I end up fighting the engine whenever I try and use one though.

Been enjoying playing around with NixOS lately. Having all the config in one place is really neat.

@MajesticFudgie In quake its just a byte array of light levels github.com/Thinkofname/ru… which I have to work out the size of all the light maps in that data github.com/Thinkofname/ru… and convert it to a texture atlas. The atlas generated at runtime ends up looking like this.

After some interesting issues I managed to get my rust quake map viewer converted over to use gfx-hal (only tested with vulkan currently). Think I kinda have the hang of the basics now, kinda fun to figure it all out. github.com/Thinkofname/ru… #rustlang #gamedev

@MajesticFudgie its per-rendered and stored in the map files. Just had to extract it and convert it into something sane

@MajesticFudgie I wrote it a long time ago in another language and port it to other languages for fun sometimes. None of the original quake code was used (I looked up the file format specs)
