I'm always interested in people who go this route, instead of using something like Unity. I'm not saying they're wrong! Just curious about the motivation. It's like if someone wants to learn guitar, and they go out and chop down a tree for wood, melt some iron ore down for strings and frets, etc. But everyone has their hobbies and interests of course!

The entity component part is basically a conclusion to go with **composition over inheritance**. Worth reading about for any dev (not only game dev).

Your video style is really unique and truthfully enjoyable to watch

yo can you make a playlist of the music you use in your videos?

Your editing is so good!! I'm here struggling with blueprints and c# in unreal and unity and you there are making your own game engine!! Kudos to you man!

I literally have been checking my notifications and your channel every day to see if you uploaded. Thank you for creating such amazing content that drives me to this madness!

I absolutely love your art style. The game has such incredible potential. Please keep working on it. Your videos are so great!

Honestly, these videos are amazing. I usually don't comment on videos but the work you're able to do always shocks me. Keep up the great work, can't wait for the next update.

Love your videos, the minimalistic and clean editing, the nerdy, nitty-gritty details, everything! At this point, I'd say upload more often, but videos like yours take time to make.

Those trees actually look really awesome, I love the visual style of this.

A video idea : program a programming language and program a game in it

I get amazed by the work you are doing while making the games, most of the time I can't really tell what's happening, but at least it inspired me get into gamedev(yet with unity). Also I love your editing style, and the fact that you put StackOverFlow as a whole into the resources section.

Holy shit, that looks *a m a z i n g*! Definitely keeping an eye on your channel, even though my brain is waaaay too smooth to understand at least half of what you're talking about! Keep it up, brother!

Subscribed. You're doing things from the ground up which honestly is a super valuable angle for learners.

love your video style man

dude I've never waited to someone to post a video or any kind of post, but little do you know, I was waiting for an update from you! Keep up the good work.

Man this looks amazing and I love to see the process/troubles your encountering I have a few questions: At 10:55 you started mentioning about the particles that appear when you chop a tree and that you wanted to have 1000 particles which was not possible, are you running your particle system on the GPU? or are each individual particle it's own entity that the CPU needs to work on? Same question for the leaves of the tree are they individual entities handled by the CPU? My other question is what platforms can your engine run on? I ask because thanks to the introduction of the Steam Deck I predict that Linux gaming will start to take off and perhaps consoles will start to make their own Linux distros in the future. That's why when I see someone making their own engine I ask if it can run on Linux.

@jdh

2 жыл бұрын

(for now) the leaves are one mesh that are rendered by the model manager for all tree entities through instance rendering - the renderer/entity system are (relatively) decoupled in this way :) Particles are individual entities (also for now) because I wanted to be able to maximally control their behavior (collision, movement, etc.) in these early stages of development. Will for sure be considering GPU-based particle systems later on, but for now it’s not worth the time when I don’t have a clear spec of what the system needs to be able to do. also it isn’t a bottleneck (yet). The engine is extremely cross platform! It uses BGFX which can run on Vulkan/Metal/OpenGL/DirectX and the rest is just some stdlib-depending C++, so as of right now there are no limits on platform. Though I imagine some things would have a to be (minimally) changed were I to start targeting windows, Linux, etc.

Can't wait for you to go from EC to ECS, whereby you move the logic off each component and into systems which act on sets of components. It makes the components WAY more composeable, brings literally all of the performance benefits (you don't get those with logic per component), and is really interesting to think about and design barriering and system execution dependency trees.

i love how you use the chad meme next to yourself...its the same person

Always remember: memory is cheap, time is not. If you can precompute something and store it in memory, do it. I'm hoping that's what you did with your leaf placement when you said you optimized it. Because even the 5ms algorithm can stay inefficient if you just use it to precompute the data. You'll save time on having to optimize code, and then your leaf placement will scale as fast as your memory bandwidth (which is about as scalable as you can ever hope for). And if randomization is your concern, you can still precompute enough random variations to fit in even a single cache line such that you would never notice a pattern. So, unless you managed to get that 5ms algorithm to like double digit MICROseconds with a full world of trees, just use a few extra KB of memory and have them precomputed!

Your videos always leave me inspired to work on my side projects!

I really want to see what he could make with a game engine.

Awesome to see how far you got in the month!

Greate video thanks. I think the OOP approach for this inheritance problem is Strategy Pattern. Basically implement the behaviour example "Fly" and inject to the class the kind of implementation you want (PlaneFly, BirdFly... etc) and even at runtime you can change the behaviour if you want.

@deistormmods

Жыл бұрын

You should never use inheritance either way.

Fantastic video, great editing and very lucidly presented! One point though, your issue with OOP is with building inheritance hierarchies (trees of is-a relationships). Composition where an object's dependencies are data members not bases, combined with strong separation of concerns is way cleaner than some complex polymorphic structure and is definitely a strongly OO design.

Remember the tetris os ? It would be really cool, if you would make a operating system with ONLY c++ and Assembly without a single line of C code. BUT just to run the Minecraft Clone.

How do you set up VIM like this? I'm trying to switch from VS Code to VIM as it's more lightweight. What's your set up?

The voxel generation from the sprites looks really interesting, I love learning about making tools like that. While I was watching some bits I didn't like how the code in the background had loads of very distracting autocomplete windows flickering open and close (e.g. 3:48). I think I'd like it better if this was more muted or maybe paused altogether while the vid's focusing on something else. Very promising, I'm looking forward to seeing more of this!

I love the little programing jokes like they are a nice touch

So fun to see yet another video of yours! You should check out the indie-game Equillinox. From the little you said it seems to have similarities in the gameplay mechanics, and it's quite the gem if you ask me!

I reckon a short blast of all the leaves from a tree as its destruction particle animation would look pretty sick (assuming such is not already in the works)

You inspired me to make my own game engine and OS. Keep up with the good videos!!!

nice video! I enjoyed it thoroughly. can't wait to see more progress on this game :))

you know what, I'll enable the notifications just for you, I'm annoyed that youtube doesn't recommend your videos as soon as they are uploaded. Thanks for the quality content ♥

If your goal is to make a successful video game and you achieve that by making a game that lots of people will willfully give their free time to then you've made it. Nobody is going to care about the fact this guy made his own engine this is an exercise in procrastination if the goal is truly to make a dream passion project video game but evidently it's about getting views on a youtube video and receiving praise from random strangers on the internet. Great job you did in a month what someone could have done with an engine in a day.

as I do to play microcraft when I download the jar of the game I get a error help me.

What loading library are you using? I had some trouble with GLEW in the past. And I'm curious what your are using. Cheers.

What build tools/pipeline do you use with vim? It looks like it is automatically rebuilding when you make changes, is that true?

those trees are so very lovely

cool video i wanna ask how did u manage to open multiple files and terminal in neovim

me commenting on how good the 12 minute video is after 1 minute of it being uploaded

You've rediscovered composition over inheritance. Good job. :P also inheritance and polymorphism are two different things.

You should consider changing tree opacity while the player is under it, that way you can see the character still

yo can you make a video showing your neovim setup? like the plugins and your configuration file

improving the movement of the character would make this a whole lot better. also I don't think he needs to be a block if your trees have actual geometry that's also not just blocks. great video!

how did you create UI elements?

Isn't an entity component system/data oriented approach the same idea as the strategy pattern in OOP?
