Ardaria - Survival | Creative

⚡Today I did something I never did 🔨 Fixing my #1 mistake in life 🤐 I've never been the kind of guy to reach out to build connections 🚫 This time is over 🏆 I'm proud of what I'm creating 📨 Today I applied to @speedrun SR0003 for @Ardaria #buildinginpublic #gamedev

@CloudlessStudio Why that? I've jumped in Twitter for 3 weeks, find the place much more interesting that I thought and I was thinking about reddit

r/gamedev is the worst place for gamedev

🌞 GM Ladies & Gents, not everyday is a victory... 📕 But as I #buildinpublic, I also share my struggles 🟦 Working with a voxel open world presents challenges 🤖 Procedural generation == real time aka computation by code 🔮 Must be predictable → the code must always produce the same exact result 🤩 VoxelPlugin works to display a planet in the screen by using different “level of details” 🔭 Far away → a low details 3d model is used 🎨 Close → The Planet surface becomes more detailed --- 💥 Sampling the surface means "using collisions to find points on a 3D model" 💰 This process is expensive, approx 4 milliseconds, which is 1/4 of a frame at 60 FPS 🚫 Cannot do it all the time or the game is laggy --- 💎 The solution is to SAVE / CACHE the results ⚠️ But... 🚫 Because Voxel planet updates -> you will have different points between sampling... 💨 A village vanishing when you approach it? Not super immersive 🧙‍♂️ Being sure of the correctness of the point is HARD 🧐 Because you NEED the highest level of detail 🤯 Therefore, today I struggled to find a good solution... 😉 But I have an idea, see you tomorrow ! #gamedev #indiegames #developer #SoftwareEngineering #UnrealEngine #procedural #voxel

🤩I reached my #buildinpublic goal for the day! 🌲Making good procedural environments for open world is about: - How far you can see - Fast to load - High diversity ✅Check the boxes = immersive open world --- ⏳Can now generate vegetation in less than 1mn, for 100 square km… 🐍 Sampling is done zone by zone, following a grid pattern around the player, like a snake 💫 The bigger the grid cell is, the less points we attribute to the cell 📊Performance is all about generating just enough data to make a cool world 😵 But not too much to not induce a lag spike --- #gamedev #indiegame #UnrealEngine

🏆A great day for survival games 📚Keywords: Unreal Engine Procedural Content Generation 📈I can generate thousands of square meters of vegetation super fast 🕘Tomorrow it’s optimization, on Twitch 📙I could write an article if you are interested in the technology #gamedev #indiegames #screenshotsaturday #buildinginpublic

@0x_neon GM bro, on the grind as always

GM! 🌞 Are you on the saturday grind? I reply to all comments|👇| say Hi

🔴 Today on stream we make forest for the voxel planet 🎯 I want to release an update before 1st April 📈 8 hours of stream, 13 subs, 2407 followers 🤜🤛 Thank you bros #buildinpublic #gamedev #SoftwareEngineering

@IndieGameCloud @JB_Briant Yeah especially that the game is free

@JB_Briant @Ardaria That looks intriguing! But we can't do a giveaway for a game that hasn't released yet.

What #indiegame should we do a giveaway for next??

😤Yesterday was super hard 🤯Directional gravity isn't fun to make 🕗But after 8 hours of learning, it's working ! #buildinpublic #gamedev

@LeoSandbox Thanks for that inspiring message, wish you the best in the difficult times

Hey everyone 🌟, it's been a while. I can't thank you enough for the outpouring of love and prayers after my last post. It truly meant the world to us during this challenging time. We have been through critical health issues, personal loss and taking the leap to quit my job after 10 years to pursue my dream of becoming a full time Indie Game Developer. 🕹️❤️ I'm excited to say we're back to working on our dreams and crafting worlds we hope you'll love - from our upcoming RPG 'Drakontias' to our spooky survival horror project. 🎮✨ Your support has been a light in the dark! Let's embark on this journey together. #IndieGame #IndieDev #GameDev

Building a procedural world in #UnrealEngine5 is better than we thought. @phyronnaz made an awesome job with #voxelplugin and an ocean plugin even exists! #gaming #pcgamer #gamedev #survivalgame #openworld #developer #software #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev

@GameDevMicah If I understand correctly, you are using static mesh actors for the physic simulation and then update every instanced mesh to render them? No rendering for actors No physic for ISM

Testing on the 1080ti i7 machine shows the same results, even FPS, but the draw/RHIT times are cut in HALF with ISM batch frame updates instead of rendering the static Nanite meshes per 4,096 simulated actors. Moving this loop to c++ may make a #ue5 return for ISMs... I’ll try it

@Steam Works with a VPN... @Steam Did you firewalled Thailand ?

Is @Steam down?

@BirdiBirdson Looks really neat! GG

@shadow_survival Thanks bro, we are on steam as well, prototype is downloadable

@Ardaria Thank you! Ardaria looks very nice as well. 😀

A look at some randomized equipment from the arsenal pod, there are thousands of possibilities. 🔥⚡️❤️
