Hey #PitchYaGame!

Vagabond is a 2D sandbox RPG with procedurally generated living worlds.

Here is an animation that shows the world generation process!

@ArturSmiarowski @kacieahmed I read this and right after I got a text from a friend of my mom asking me if I could fix her printer. 🥲

[Pierre Vigier @PierreVigier]

@ByteArcane @ArturSmiarowski Yes, if you use sized integer types in all your game code, you would have to static cast only when using an external library. But as you mentioned, all the dirty details are hidden behind a nice API.
Btw, glad to see fellow developers with the same issues as mine!

[Pierre Vigier @PierreVigier]

@ArturSmiarowski long long is 64 bits on all platforms but long is 32 bits on Win64 and 64 bits on Unix. 🙃
But I totally agree, having the control on data IO is crucial for large worlds. ECS works well with serialization. I also observed with my current game that it's also great for netcode.

[Pierre Vigier @PierreVigier]

@ArturSmiarowski Hm, if you are using fixed width types, there is no issue. Even the standard int type is 32bits on both x86 and x64. I only see an issue with size_t and ptrdiff_t but I wouldn't serialize these types. I also use a simple struct reflection system, very useful!

[Pierre Vigier @PierreVigier]

@ArturSmiarowski I think it could be even faster and the saves would be smaller if you serialize directly to binary.

[Pierre Vigier @PierreVigier]

Alpha 9 of Vagabond is released! 🙂

It mainly adds the crime system!

Tonight we start a new life as a vagabond. I expect much theft, many enemies and delicious crops. 🤠

@kerrblimey Hi Chris!

I'm solo-deving a sandbox RPG with living procgen worlds. It will be released in early-access Q2 2023. 🙂

@GSabiniok Even in 2D, it's definitely complicated. I think the way to make procgen quests interesting is that they can change/evolve the world, which is more difficult in a handcrafted world. But I'm not there yet. 😅

I will be giving a talk at #RoguelikeCelebration at 13:00 PT on Room Generation using Constraint Satisfaction!

Very excited to be there! 🙂

[Pierre Vigier @PierreVigier]

@hownottodraw Hi! The worlds are fully procedurally generated in the RPG I am currently working on!
