Indie Dev working on Dungeon Magus, Cows Control 2, and an untitled project.

@Lizzergas Yeah, still untitled even haha.

The only video of the game has pretty minimal pathfinding to show. I'm getting pretty close to the point where I can start posting about it. I can take a video of the behavior I currently have in a sec here. And I can DM you the game video.

[Stives @BeardLogic]

@Lizzergas You bet, that's what I'm doing.

Effectively I have a crowd simulator that takes in a direction (and a list of local neighbors). The direction can come from A*, flow field, or really any pathfinder.

It then processes the direction and returns the 'corrected' direction.

[Stives @BeardLogic]

@Lizzergas Portable, so that the pathfinding system can easily be dropped into any game.

[Stives @BeardLogic]

@Lizzergas Agreed!

Haha, me too actually. My code is designed to be very modular.

If you come up with anything that works I'd be interested in hearing about it.

Cheers!

[Stives @BeardLogic]

@Lizzergas For sure, I appreciate it!

These problems are difficult at the best of times. It's nice to be able to get ideas from someone who is also trying to sort out these issues.

[Stives @BeardLogic]

@Lizzergas it. I'm doing something like this. The terrain is proc generated. So I segment it, and connect each segment as a neighbor with portals that must be traversed to path through it.

[Stives @BeardLogic]

@Lizzergas With respect to the a* being a bottleneck. I haven't tried this myself, but you might be able to do a single a* search for a group of entities and have them attempt to follow the path. Perhaps with an offset. Alternatively the map might be able to be optimized by sectioning

@FracturedRTS My apologies if you've already seen this, but this has helped me a quite a bit to get something similar started. I'm no where near sc2, but I'm progressing. Would be happy to share my insights, and interested to hear yours.

[AntiqueGearGames- Idle Gumball Machine out now! @GearAntique]

My last two games flopped, and I was down to my last dollar. But I didn't quit. Today, I’m finally hitting 'Release' on my 3rd commercial game, Idle Gumball Machine.

It’s chaotic, it’s satisfying, and it’s finally live. Retweet to help a solo dev out? 🥺👇(link in comment)

[Stives @BeardLogic]

@noio_games I ran into this about a week back. I opted to reset the variables myself. Figured unity was doing something weird in the background. Thanks for sharing, this is quite helpful.

[Here Comes The Swarm @HereComesSwarm]

We’re feeling a whole swarm of emotions right now. After almost 9 years of development, our game is finally live in Early Access. 🎉

This is a huge milestone for us. We’d love to hear what you’d like to see next as we shape the game together.

Play Here Comes The Swarm on Steam!

@Kekius_Sage Frame rate restrictions 😏

[Stives @BeardLogic]

@thomasbrushdev Too real man.

[Stives @BeardLogic]

@noio_games Interesting, yeah that would help readability a lot.

[Stives @BeardLogic]

@aminerehioui Ooo, smart. That's actually helpful, I might be able to make something similar work. Thanks! I appreciate the response!
