I make video games, and sometimes I'll actually finish a project. @ErikCLD makes a lot of music for my games.

@GameMakerEngine nearly missed saturday but I'm trudging my way through 3D stuff recently with an FPS project

[Dan @danbdav]

got weapon swapping and grenades implemented. I really gotta make a new map for this kind of aesthetic but making maps is the part of gamedev im the worst at

@SlickestRamen thanks! Each moving piece is a separate vertex buffer and I move/rotate them each individually using matrix stacks. It's all an illusion of skeletal animations haha

[Dan @danbdav]

if you make an invisible 2D ragdoll in gamemaker, and then translate each limb's position/rotation to a 3D model, you can get some convincing ragdoll physics - assuming everything is on flat ground

@mitch_k_miller thank you thank you! <3

[Dan @danbdav]

@CD_Legasse yup! I'll be doing that for the arms. For the legs though, since the collisions are from a sideview ragdoll, the 3D model ends up in an upright lunge position and never falls over since the ragdoll can't fall sideways in 2D

[Dan @danbdav]

@RowanFuture exactly right. only issue I have with this so far is that the ragdolls won't get any sideways movement. it's only forwards-backwards stuff.

[Dan @danbdav]

kinda cool kinda disorienting

@Kanomeister my approach for the offline AI is just 3 different dot products of the forward, right-hand, and upward vectors checking against the angles towards the enemy. rolling/pitching/yawing accordingly. its a bunch of nonsense but its working

[Dan @danbdav]

making basic AI for enemy jets is insanely complicated turns out so I'll never be doing that again

@princesssprozac eating top ramen 3x a day while making little airplanes go in circles on a screen so I can become stronger

[Dan @danbdav]

ok real quick what if I made an jetfighter game
#gamemaker

[Dan @danbdav]

hey all, I'm still working on this. just been busy with life and moving. newest updates are new death cameras, more screams, and new networking code to make the game Peer to Peer without needing an outside server.

[Dan @danbdav]

Well I suppose it's time to actually announce this game I've been working on.
Introducing SANDRED, a small western-themed shooter

[Dan @danbdav]

@TimelessDubs dude I could throw a ball faster than the bullets in hunt. i appreciate you

[Dan @danbdav]

little unlockable charms for your gun? sure why not. lord knows how long it took me to figure out the math behind the swinging physics
#gamemaker #gamedev

[Dan @danbdav]

@TimelessDubs technically the name hasn’t been announced yet but I should probably officially announce this project soon

[Dan @danbdav]

Got a little intro sequence at the start of a match, and some subtle red rimlighting on enemies. Not gonna lie, I'm pretty happy with this

[Dan @danbdav]

fighting @ErikCLD with netcode that definitely doesn't have any issues or bugs at all
#gamedev #gamemaker

[Dan @danbdav]

@acheronti yup, netcode is already wrapped up

[Dan @danbdav]

no cowboy game in complete without a lever-action and a double barrel
