Retro Game Engine Update 🔥

Always room for improvement, but I'm really amazed I was able to pull this off. Building a game engine is one of the most challenging things I've done, but seeing the outcome is so amazing to me.

God rays are working indoors & outdoors now!

@AnalogDreamDev The volumetric lighting is sweet!

Wow, woke up to over 3k followers 🤯

Thank you for following along as I build my retro-inspired custom game engine! Half a year ago, I was learning how to get an app to render something. A cube in an empty scene.

Now I'm building worlds and systems to support an entire game!

So many pirate games this next fest and I love it!

Anyone know of some fun pirate RTS games? Closest I can think of would be Age of Empires

[Josh Chapman @rkstormer]

@SyphoticART For a pirate RTS-style fix, I’ve been working on Pirate! Showdown — it’s a fast, ship-to-ship tactical battler with a lot of chaos and strategy mixed in.

Retro Game Engine Update 🔥

Terrain has been born! This is the first iteration, but I wanted to focus on dynamically altering and modifying the terrain at runtime. I want something easy to manipulate, good foundation for proceduralism (later), etc.

Retro Game Engine Update 🔥

I now have a system for setting active chunk → live grid-aligned previews → click to place.

Swapping chunks and positioning them feels fast and intuitive now.

This feature fought me pretty hard, but pushing through forced the engine to mature in some important ways. Really happy with where this landed and excited to keep layering on polish!

Alright, a fun update for Retro Game Engine! 🔥

First MVP of my construction grid system is working. The grid acts as a tool to help with quickly laying out modular content for levels.

Controls over alignment, size, origin, giving full axis control. Next up, spawning vignettes instead of cubes!

Grok video is now 10 seconds and the audio is greatly improved

[Analog Dream Dev @AnalogDreamDev]

A mere 85 days ago I decided I was going to try and write my own custom game engine from scratch.

Might not look like much, but just got the first pass of point lights working and I'm loving how its all starting to come together.

Should we add elves to the game?
