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
i would've been happy to reach the crafting torches stage at the 2 month mark but instead i did that, then added pretty bushes, and got all the way to axe crafting. pretty proud of myself :3
i managed to get drops done in the same day \o/ had to improve the physics so things accelerate and decelerate smoothly for the drops to move sideways, so now the player moves smoother, too. really happy with how this turned out#EniBlockGame #GameDev #IndieDev
my block darkness propagation function in block game is called KillTheLights so, obviously, my sun darkness propagation function will be called KillTheSun#EniBlockGame
