I'm deving my Network Manager in C# and wanted to get some thoughts if TCP is suitable for an RTS. It's always valuable to hear insights from someone in the industry who's willing to share their knowledge and experience. Since R is public, I thought I'd share this here. #GameDev #IndieDev

While tweaking some variables in my default shader, I accidentally created this result. Now I'd like to expose it as an effect parameter ~ a kind of luminance threshold and grayscale, but "without" doing some post-processing. 💃 #GraphicsProgramming #GameDev #IndieDev #Vulkan #PureCSharp #DotNet

have a couple of loose, but I prefer keeping them boxed, coz I like box art 🤭 especially the Zelda series. I have the entire The Legend of Zelda amiibo collection that will not fit on my shelve💃💃💃

Got the shininess settings I wanted for my PBR implementation. It took a bit of tweaking, but e'm really happy with how it's looking at the moment 💃 Still room for improvement! 😊 Credit : Boots model from SF, CCA #GraphicsProgramming #GameDev #IndieDev #Vulkan #PureCSharp #DotNet

WIP Integrated ORM map feature💃but still need to choose which texture channel is used by the artist 🎨for each map. It would need a controls for adjusting the intensity or influence of each channel color.🧮 #GraphicsProgramming #Vulkan #GameDev #IndieDev #PureCSharp #DotNet

✨ Fixing my TBN for my PBR to make the shading look much more natural. Still tweaking it, but I'm really happy with the results so far! 💖 Playing with Master Chief model while waiting for Halo evolved 🎮 #GraphicsProgramming #GameDev #IndieDev #Vulkan #PureCSharp #DotNet

My WIP PBR said,"Trust the process."💖✨All the essential maps are showing, the final color is still on its villain arc. We'll fix her later ~ today we're celebrating the small wins.💅🎉 It's Halo! Master Chief!🤭 #GraphicsProgramming #GameDev #PBR #Vulkan #PureCSharp #DotNet

I also have it ~ it's from my dad's bookshelf : )

Nothing much today, just having fun tweaking my height map settings and trying out different values to see what works 💃 #GraphicsProgramming #GameDev #IndieDev #Vulkan #PureCSharp

Nooo, e'm not procrastinating 😭💅 e'm just having a tiny existential crisis trying to implement PBR. Like, seriously... how many maps are enough? At this point I'm collecting maps like they're Pokémon. ✨ WIP ~ Not all maps are working yet 😅 #GraphicsProgramming #GameDev #IndieDev #Vulkan #CSharp

Alright bestie,🥰 it seems like 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗫 𝗫𝗜𝗻𝗽𝘂𝘁 is actually super easy to use in C# with my 𝗫𝗕𝗢𝗫 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿. 🎮 She connected, she slayed, she understood the assignment. ✨💃 #GraphicsProgramming #GameDev #IndieDev #GamePad #Vulkan #CSharp #DotNet

Yes, yes this time around, I'm really making a game out of my Vulkan C# mini-engine, Inspired by the Retro Game Background music from Irem 🕹️ If you know the game, you know 🎮 this will be a long journey 💃 #GameDev #IndieDev #GraphicsProgramming #Vulkan #CSharp #DotNet

…and everything here is pure C# contained in a single library~NO NuGet Nuget packages, lol. Just one DLL each for: Zna𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘄𝘀.dll, Zna𝗟𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘅.dll, and Zna𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗶𝗱.dll. #GraphicsProgramming #GameDev #IndieDev #Vulkan #CSharp #DotNet

Now let’s redo the party!💃This time around, the animated models received all the available lighting effects: Env. lights, Diffuse, Directional, Omni, Point, and Spot lights. They also received shadows, self-shadows, and fog.🥳 #GraphicsProgramming #Gamedev #IndieDev #Vulkan #DotNet #CSharp

Handling animated meshes is really a pain, all of my previous posts didn't receive lights outside of the environment, also why the f* HLSL doesn't have an inverse function! lol, nywayz it's working now with exaggerated light colors to test 💃 #GraphicsProgramming #GameDev #IndieDev #Vulkan #CSharp

Computing bone animations is costly. I tested multiple models with different animations, and there was still no cost on the main thread since the model animations are computed on another thread. 💃 #GraphicsProgramming #Vulkan #GameDev #IndieDev #DotNet #CSharp

Anyway, just a quick update~after months of trying, I finally got this running on a Mali-GPU Tablet. 💃 Dealing with Vulkan on Mali has been challenging, at least on my end.😐 #GraphicsProgramming #GameDev #IndieDev #Vulkan #MaliTablet #CSharp #DotNet

Yay! Lights💡are now in SSBO. She’s handling only light data and no longer messing with the environment and camera UBOs anymore. Unli-lights for forward rendering. Some spot, omni, and directional lights for this test. 💃 #GraphicsProgramming #GameDev #IndieDev #Vulkan #DotNet #CSharp

I’m honestly obsessed with what just a simple two-texture map can do ~ like, give me a base color and a normal map, and suddenly everything looks so much more alive. It’s giving min effort, max impact energy✨ #GraphicsProgramming #GameDev #IndieDev #Vulkan #CSharp #DotNet #MarcusFenix

I’ve been working on this basic effect, and OMG I just realized the normal wasn’t even working until now 😭 this hangar has sooo many details, geez ✨ #GraphicsProgramming #GameDev #IndieDev #Vulkan #DotNet #CSharp #NoVideCode

Satisfied!💃of adding full control over front and back shadows~ being able to make them subtle or adjust them using subtract or multiply modes. There’s still no PBR yet, just Albedo and Normal maps w/ max sampling of 8. #GraphicsProgramming #GameDev #IndieDev #Vulkan #CSharp #NoVibeCode

This is a nice mesh to test for PBR. There’s no PBR applied yet~this uses only base color and normal maps. Credit to Kerem Kavalci on SF, who was very generous in allowing others to use his 3D mesh under a very liberal license. 💃 #GraphicsProgramming #GameDev #IndieDev #Vulkan #DotNet #CSharp

Had some free time today to fix self-shadowing. 💃Shadow mapping gets pretty crazy with multi-sampling enabled ~ needs a lot of tweaking, at least on my end. 😐 #GraphicsProgramming #GameDev #IndieDev #Vulkan #DotNet #CSharp

The issue with skinning is Normals, Tangents, and BiNormals need to be Recalc😪, coz the lighting must correctly conform to the light direction. a bit complex on my part, but I hope I got it in the main environment light source.💃 #GraphicsProgramming #GameDev #IndieDev #GameEngine #Vulkan #DotNet

I think this time around, the shadow is correctly positioned against the light, 💡 and the objects are darker too, but brighter facing it ~ but it still needs a lot to improve. 💃 #GraphicsProgramming #Vulkan #DotNet #CSharp #GameDev #indieDev #HobbyEngine

Nyek, there’s a bug in that feed; ☺️ of course, the shadow should move when the main light source changes. 💃 #GraphicsProgramming #Vulkan #GameDev #IndieDev #HobbyEngine #DotNet #CSharp

I’m bad at math, but who even am I without the fascinating Cos and Sin?💃My environment light depends on Latitude and Longitude using Cos, Sin - and honestly, the right lighting position can have a visual impact✨ #GraphicsProgramming #Vulkan #GameDev #indieDev #HobbyEngine #DotNet #CSharp

Marcus Fenix model from Gears of War 💖 Just testing my character animation, and I’m so happy it worked smoothly from — Mixamo → Blender → GLTF -> Znb( My mesh format ) with zero fuss ✨💃 #GraphicsProgramming #Vulkan #GameDev #HobbyEngine #DotNet #CSharp

If you know who this dude is, you know!✨ finally GLTF ascii or bin files exported from Blender are now working.🔥It's been such a struggle to get it working on my part, but it's all coming together now, even with those packed joints✅ #GraphicsProgramming #Gamedev #IndieDev #Vulkan #CSharp #DotNet
