bad news for gamedevs i guess

Revisiting the #Somnipathy code base after an extended break to adjust somethings before the 2nd anniversary of the 'final' chapter release...

What in the world was I thinking with this journal system! I know I was obsessed with getting the pages to turn but this truly is bolted on with prayers and tape!

It's using viewports off screen to capture images to manipulate them so they are readable while they flip and on and on... It must have been important at the time!

TToday’s progress in gamedev:
I fixed one bug, created three new ones, and somehow broke a system I didn’t even touch.
This is not a bug — this is a feature.

Made a YouTube channel for my indiegames stuff — gameplay tests, weird prototypes and general gamedev chaos from a solo developer.

How did my #godotengine tank game go from 10 FPS to 30 FPS on my potato machine (GTX 980)??

Sadly by switching from the Vulkan renderer to Direct x 12. It's super frustrating as I've spent months trying to get meager gains, and ultimately its a neglected driver that was the issue.

There was other optimizations which mattered of course, which I'll mention in replies, but nothing was as big a jump as this.

Spotlight on Chikka Praveen 🎮 – the mind behind worlds of fun and creativity. He’s the one who turns imagination into games you can’t stop playing.

Devs would literally rather rebuild fundamental systems from the ground up than debug multiplayer issues.

Having took some time to learn vectors and physics and the like, the boost and srimech are in MUCH better places than they were! Also they are technically more multiplayer friendly I guess...
