Hi all,

I'm curious about doing procedural modelling by code in 3D and rendering these models in a game. Traditional polygon approaches don't lend themselves well to this approach as procedurally generating topology is very difficult.

Has there been anyone that was able to render complex scenes of mathematically described objects (doesn't matter if sdf or other surfaces and if cached or not)?

I could find a few demos and a few in progress youtube videos, but nothing production-ready so far.

I'm making a small 2d game engine for my game in C at the moment. I am now wondering if adding Lua to the mix would be beneficial for modding and faster iteration.

What I am not sure about is where to put which responsibilities. My game is deeply simulated (think Rimworld, Dwarc Fortress) so I expect some gameplay hot paths that should be written in C, which makes Love2Ds architectural split (game in lua, only graphics/sound in C) not viable.

Does anyone have pointers for this topic?

I have an almost fully decked out lvl 100 Pet Conjurer and looking at Berserker I don't feel like re-rolling. Do you think the DLC would still be a worthy purchase? I'm still unsure.

So I've been wondering about simpler art styles lately and one I adore is classic GameBoy (e.g. Pokemon Red).

So I've tried emulating it on a PC, but it seems that the issue is that modern PCs use LCD screens which become really tiring on the eyes so the usual minimalist aesthetic is black background, white foreground instead of white background, black foreground.

Has anyone managed or maybe seen a game that handles this well?

Long time hobby gamedev here, I'm good with coding and game design, but don't enjoy art. I'm thinking of creating a 2d game. Has anyone figured out a workflow that gives consistent, coherent results for a large amount of assets?

EDIT: I misstyped 2d as 3d. I want to create a 2d game.

I liked the game during the campaign and I think the progression systems are quite decent to want me to keep going more to breed that perfect voidling. But what's the point of the Abyss mode? Just another, poorly executed, roguelike mode? Meh. Give me better endgame content, especially when the campaign is so short.

Liebe r/austria community,

ich brauch mal euren Rat. Vor ca. einem Monat hats in meiner Erdgeschosswohnung angefangen, dass ich dauernd die Nachbarn durchhöre. Das geht je nach Tag so die Hälfte vom Tag so dahin, auch oft nachts.

Schritte, Podcast/Fernseher, irgendeine Tür wird zugeworfen, etwaige Tok/Patsch, was weiß ich für Geräusche.

Wie ich vor ca. 3 Jahren eingezogen bin, war diese Haus totenstill. Ich hab ein halbes Jahr nicht mal gewusst, dass ich Nachbarn hab bis ich die mal zufällig getroffen hab.

Ich hab mich bereits mehrmals beschwert bei den Nachbarn, dass die zumindest nachts ruhig sein sollen. Das hilft dann immer für die Nacht und 2 Nächte später gehts wieder rund.

Gefühlt wechseln sich meine Nachbarn auch toll ab - ich hab versucht es zu verfolgen und es wirkt wie wenn das nicht nur ein Nachbar ist.

Was kann ich tun? Hausverwaltung und Vermieter hab ich informiert, aber der Zuständige ist gerade im Krankenstand.

Das geht mir schon dermaßen auf den Zeiger, dass ich in meiner Wohnung einfach keine Ruhe mehr hab. Muss ich mir jetzt wirklich eine neue Wohnung suchen?

So I am a developer and I sit in front of the pc a lot. However the typical desk posture leads to forward head/shoulder posture.

I'm now looking at getting a reclined setup. So far I've tried a cheap bluetooth keyboard with trackpad on my lap, but the issues I face are:

• Trackpad is slow and inconvenient to operate a mouse
• The keyboard layout isn't good and
• When I type the keyboard moves due to it being on my lap which isn't a solid surface.

I've thought about options like getting a lap board, getting a trackpad mouse with the keyboard or even getting a split keyboard with a trackball integrated.

I don't want to spend 700 euros on those split keyboards with a trackball, which I don't even know will work for my case.

What have you had success with? Any advice?
