I'm like at the 2 month point where I usually get bored and abandon my project to do something new, I am feeling that right now. I suddenly want to work on a software CPU rasterizer again. BUT. I have decided NO. I will stick with it. Added buildings back

Much of the work I've done on the engine these past days has been on making pathfinding faster and able to be done in increments in the background, all with the goal of eventually supporting lots of minions

I added the ability to create custom shaders (assets) to my engine and now I'm slowly adding interesting effects to the game, see my prev post for the old tornado, this one is a WIP and is already a lot better

This demo was made WITHOUT a game engine. My multiplayer first-person shooter game, named "Hyacinth", was written using C++, Vulkan, and Nvidia's PhysX. You can read about my authoritative game server implementation at:

DuskEngine can now use spritesheets & cycle through them. My first use case is for animated light halos (7 frames running at 10 fps here), which used to be done via scripting (changing the scale of the transform), but now all that overhead has been removed

I've got a profiler window! I'll use it to keep an eye on systems as I test stuff out, maybe set some alerts if anything misbehaves badly. A kind of performance smoke, to run before delving deeper with e.g. Tracy. In this case I was taking a look at how much time is spent pathfinding, each frame.
