Working on my Vulkan-based engine :) First post ever, yay

She is more of a firearms maniac than her mother was. Most of her paycheck goes to firearms, either buying new models or going to attachment mods.

@maxitrol_404 Not yet

@aavaa44 Can I run this on Windows?

We have infantry now :) I'll find another model. I already have one in mind, just have to prep it. #realtimestrategy #gamedev #indiegames

@TheDyla34646123 None, ideas?

@aavaa44 Name?

@ibuildthings Currently it runs natively on Linux :). Regarding MacOS, not sure how much of a hassle MoltenVK is (coming from Vulkan). I agree the zoom feature is cool! Thanks for your word!

@aavaa44 LOVE IT, please make sure it runs on MacOS and keep the zoom. Supreme Commander is still the best because of that zoom and sheer scale. C&C suffered when they switched to a close-in view.

@fooled_trooper Thx dude!

@aavaa44 Bro...his looks sick. imagine a Dune game like this!

@twahtskie Maybe not late dos but maybe more of a RA2/tib sun vibe. I'm still undecided.

@aavaa44 Gives me late DOS games vibes and I'm all for it

@InMercenary Thanks for your kind words!

@aavaa44 Dude I remember having this infantry mod for Forged Alliance, it was useless but was really cool nevertheless Anyways, nice to see yet another interesting RTS game come around I hope your development goes well

@InMercenary I've just started working on AI but all I can say is that I've always hated micro-managing stuff in RTS games :). Time will tell!

@aavaa44 Plus I wonder if the infantry will have a mind of its own instead of you having to micro manage, could just be me just wanting to watch the frontline unfold whilst I slowly do turtle stuff

@hvent90 Oh hey thanks :)

@aavaa44 Lookinggoooood

Just loaded my RTS map into that other game and it feels huge #gamedevlife #indiegames #gamedev

Prettier with a skybox and cloudy weather 😄 Custom engine in C #indiegames #gamedev #indedev

@PondsideGames one more thing on my engine TODO list 😆

@aavaa44 You should try adding some smoothing to the transition between the run and idle animations. Right now, the animation snaps between states too much. Once that’s fixed, it’ll be perfect!

Fought with Blender and Mixamo to mix several animations in one glb asset (here: idle + run). Got character movements down for a smaller game. I'll reuse this mixamo knowledge for infantry in the RTS game. #gamedev #indiegames #indiegamedev

Just implemented catmull-rom splines, let's take a quick tour #gamedev #indiegame

@Rawlala1 I have no idea but I will need to keep it simple :). I have too many things to implement.

@aavaa44 are u going for some tesselation/nanite effect or just increasing the band number everywhere ? lol

The cool thing about the sobel filter outline is that it hides terrain culling somewhat. #gamedev #indiegame #gaming

@Rawlala1 During the directional light contribution, in the original image I limit the light contribution to 4 values (4 bands). If I increase to 8 bands, I think it looks better already. Below is 8 vs 4.

@aavaa44 meant higher frequency lol

@Rawlala1 I think it might be too realistic though, I'll have to play with it :)

@aavaa44 if u could blend these up close and with hack a far that'd nice imo 😀

@Rawlala1 These shadows are a result of my hackish attempt at cel shading 😆. Ideally I should fine tune things, but who got time for that. Here are the original, unedited shadows. Do you like them better?

@aavaa44 do u plan on making them shadows more fine grain with camera distance ? cuz it looks insane from afar but less upclose 🙂
