Expect: webdev stuff, game prototypes, ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

[Darek Greenly @Zielakpl]

Been a while, made a game for #GMTK2026 with @gizmus3

https://t.co/zBhbtDgB0t

[Darek Greenly @Zielakpl]

Added labels to help me debug some buildings things. Now displaying the sector their in and their ID.

#gamedev

FLASHING COLORS WARNING.
Exterior and interior of each building will be on separate collision layers. These doors transition player from one mask to another, letting me walk inside building's colliders.

#gamedev

[Darek Greenly @Zielakpl]

Got some interiors rendering.

[Darek Greenly @Zielakpl]

patiently making interior data for buildings. Green is corridor. I'm struggling a bit with definitions for this :/

[Darek Greenly @Zielakpl]

Much less FPS dips, much less RAM usage, less objects, overall better!

Feels good 😎

[Darek Greenly @Zielakpl]

Got the memory graphs to stay somewhat flat!

[Darek Greenly @Zielakpl]

oh boy.
maybe I went too far and coordinate system started to crack?

[Darek Greenly @Zielakpl]

No more stutters when speeding through the sectors, but need to find out which object stay in the memory :/
I have some object pooling though.

[Darek Greenly @Zielakpl]

new sectors still hang up the game, and the sectors are still not generating everything I planned for them.

[Darek Greenly @Zielakpl]

Roads generation based on cellular noise, snapped to grid shape. Perfect for infinite worlds.

Sector generation still takes some time, especially in editor.

[Darek Greenly @Zielakpl]

Better tools to figure out where does the lag spike come from.

Gathering timing data of each sector to show a summary. Generation and rendering take microseconds, so that's not it...

[Darek Greenly @Zielakpl]

Generating big maps was a pain (3 minutes for 128x128 map...) so I split it in chunks and rely on noise maps to place main buildings.

Here buildings are placed in valleys of cellular noise map.

sleepy cato

[Darek Greenly @Zielakpl]

Starting to look like concrete jungle.
Added some textures on a multimesh instance with shaders for variety.

[Darek Greenly @Zielakpl]

Stair access gets duplicated, because multiple paths run through the same cells.
Need to make the "second" staircase aware of the first.

[Darek Greenly @Zielakpl]

bro

[Darek Greenly @Zielakpl]

One piece of stairs generation FIXED.

My A* path finding (or something else) was duplicating the points in each path. That's why subsequent pattern matching never matched.

Also, ortho looks sweet with that city

[Darek Greenly @Zielakpl]

One way they work, the other they don't

[Darek Greenly @Zielakpl]

Stairways added to cells placed "by hand".
Next need to post-process paths generated by A* 🥺
