Maybe I'm not so bad at art after all #pixelart #gamedev

this could sound convincing if i didn't have eyes

Rest day! I tried getting back into modelling the character but got a bit overwhelmed. Will try to continue tomorrow.

After fixing a couple more bugs in my netcode, I took a break and started messing around in Trenchbroom! It's so intuitive and fun to use, I'm definitely set on using it for this project. Besides the map, working on the character controller and combat is high on the priority list #godot #gamedev

Godot is awesome! I created a plugin to debug my networking code, much easier to track bugs now :) After some fixes, it's *way* more stable - still a lot of work ahead though! Next steps: Clean up the code and figure out what causes the current (smaller) stutters. #godot #gamedev #netcode

Networking is hard.. I'm recording inputs and positions on the client, so that when it receives a corrected position from the server it travels back to that position and applies the inputs from that tick until the present. There's clearly some desync still, will keep investigating #godot #gamedev

NVIDIA created a ray tracing fork of Godot! github.com/NVIDIA-RTX/g... #godot #gamedev

Still trying to figure out clock synchronization and server reconciliation for the player's position. Might take a deep dive into how id tech 3 handles this. For now, rewatching this classic talk will do www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3ai... #gamedev #godot #netcode

I love humans

Initial networked movement implemented. Clients send their inputs to the server, which sends back all player positions. Next step is to get rid of that jitter - implement client-server clock synchronization with a client input buffer to determine corrected position. #godot #gamedev

Server now spawns players, sending their position, rotation and velocity to all clients. I separated the server and client scenes (reducing mental load of "if IsServer" everywhere) and added pub-sub for networked messages. Next step: Spawn players on client based on server data #godot #gamedev

Got networking going using ENet (low-level, not Godot's MP) Players can now connect to and join servers. Next step is syncing inputs from client to server. #godot #gamedev

Laying the ground for multiplayer, I added a console for connecting to a server #godot #gamedev

Taking a break from modeling, I set up a placeholder for testing. Next step is to lay the groundwork for server authoritative networking, starting with movement. I'm looking into netfox but leaning towards rolling out my own solution, possibly over ENet+Protobuf #godot #netcode #gamedev

Some more #blender progress today! Feet are.. weird.

Didn't mean to stay up this late but this #blender stuff is more fun than I thought.

Modelling my first 3D character in #blender, not as bad as I thought it'd go :) The blender community is lovely and already helped me with overlapping edges I seemed to have that messed up my loop cut. FOSS forever

Started work on INF9, a multiplayer tactical shooter. It will feature infiltration mode - one team extracting a briefcase back to base with the other on the defense. I chose #godot for this, hopefully it's the right call! Reliable netcode will be the first challenge to tackle.

First demo of the automation game I'm working on. Might make this a deep sea resource mining game, not sure yet
