@pussreboots Surely! Thanks. I can confirm that it's better for an 8 years old to just read some books at home. Real home works are better suited for older children @Fragglemuppet@RickiTarr
This kind of (depressing, but realistic) discussion is exactly why I get irked when I see "#NotAllMen"-type narratives.
Sure, it may not be all men, and there are, undoubtedly, lovely, kind, wonderful men out there, but how does one tell which is which without putting oneself at risk, especially when one just wants to be left alone.
nerdsniped myself into thinking about distant terrain LoDs. you can read the full exploration of the subject in this thread (https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@eniko/115609446120694951) but the conclusion is that it's doable, storing the LoDs for a map the size of gta5 or botw would only take about 350 megabytes of disk space#EniBlockGame #GameDev #IndieDev
ok lets just do a poll i guess. please see the images here and in the following post https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@eniko/115293072359182706which do you prefer, new new style, new style, or old style?#EniBlockGame
going to start a separate lighting thread for #EniBlockGame so atm i'm using a similar floodfill approach as minecraft, although i'm also propagating light along diagonals. this is a bit better (on a flat surface the pattern is octagonal not a diamond) but idk, i'm not really feeling itthe interesting thing about minecraft is that it doesn't actually light surfaces, it lights *the air* and tbh i'm starting to question whether this is the right approach
