** SEGA GENESIS - MEGA VALKYRIE **
Formerly the 3D engine- now becoming a game !
Since last showing :
Back face culling of objects added - increase performance by 15% !! Basically we don't draw what gets overdrawn which saves performance - Some scripting helped to sort models into cullable ones and ones that weren't and also analysed co-planer triangles and reworked those to quads for the engine ( a quad is faster vs 2 triangles ) .
Optimised quad drawing ~ 2% gain, saved some resetting of the DDA points amongst shared sections.
Optimised joypad reading ~ 0.8% speedup every cycle counts haha.
Added dither patterns to the renderer so dithered surfaces can be used - only a slight hit to draw speed.
Modified the vblank dma timing to allow XGM2 driver to run at full speed without lagging , so now we can switch from XGM1 to XGM2 and gained 5% cpu performance.
Added a basic Enemy - much more complex ones to come , hes using the same movement logic as the player attract mode before. No destruction or collision checking yet .
Added player attacks - nothing final but a good start.
Reworked the camera to keep a constant background load on here so its indicative of a real stage. Maintaining a solid 20 FPS in this demo.
@TonimanGalvez is doing great work on map layout and huds, hes made some very nice internal renders of how the game will look once fully populated. Music is a placeholder for now, kindly provided by @laurent_crouzet so we can model music load in the game.

@rebecca_doodles If I may, I had always wondered... What are your thoughts on starving artist now? I had personally never had anything i've made blow up in popularity and I can only assume a vent piece wasnt exactly what you thought would blow up this much lmao.
@RUKtWTqDRk20478@1000SunnyVM@aloupwet@Battle_Stories I personally am not invested in labeling anyone as anything based on whatever porn they consume as thats not my business. I do think conflating child abuse in media to actual child abuse is far fetched and im very much for freedom of expression, regardless of my views.
@RUKtWTqDRk20478@1000SunnyVM@aloupwet@Battle_Stories Well yeah they just changed that law so now they can't do that. Very weird it needed to be clarified in law around 2018 I think? I dont know the full details to really tell you much more. As I said, only read a few headlines.
@1000SunnyVM@RUKtWTqDRk20478@aloupwet@Battle_Stories As far as the underage thing, I believe its always been a foreigner stereotype that Japan in particular has very lax laws around sexually assaulting women, especially young women and having graphic material depicting such. I've never tried to look into it cuz its kinda gross.
@1000SunnyVM@RUKtWTqDRk20478@aloupwet@Battle_Stories I was clarifying what they were saying. I've no actual reference points for either tbh.
The only recent thing I saw in headlines some time ago was something about it being legal to force yourself on your spouse until a few years ago? That really shocked me in particular.
@Mashiro_yuh Massive loss is such a laughable claim.
You want my money, right? Well give me a way to give it to you.
Don't wanna? Scared you'll lose money?
Then you don't get to bitch about losing money you never earned.
Put in the work or don't bitch.
@yamori360628@Klarktastic@mia_yapping@esemesmoctm You keep looping.
Just admit you don't agree and move in, brother. It would be easier if it's tiring you out that bad.
You just can also clutch pearls all you want too.
Won't stop people from pirating though!
@yamori360628@Klarktastic@mia_yapping@esemesmoctm The people who are taking odd pride in pirating make up like 0.1 of pirates.
Trust me in saying this. Piracy is way more of a pain in the ass and if I had a way to pay creators directly without having to worry about some bullshit middle man?
I'd be your first customer.
Dead ass
@RUKtWTqDRk20478@1000SunnyVM@aloupwet@Battle_Stories I don't mean to generalize. It's just been an oddly hostile on both sides and I don't think that approach for either side.
I'm mostly complaining about the dumbasses that unfortunately share a country with you. They come in all countries I'm afraid. Also fuck pedophiles. Hell yes
