In the past I’ve talked a lot about “the perfect metaverse engine”, which was/is the goal of my Brane project. But more recently I’ve been thinking about the sustainable route to get there. Making an engine for a massive social/UGC userbase like that is probably the game engine equivalent of “for my first game I’m…
Hey everyone, I’ve decided to make a very hard decision. I’m putting Brane as a project on hold indefinitely. As I’m sure most of you are aware, Brane has been a core part of my identity for nearly 5 years since I made the first commit in June of 2021. But no matter how much…
Recently I was at a hackathon, and as you do at hackathons I decided that I wanted to make the companion robot for our game float around using actual physics. A long time ago I used to be into Kerbal Space Program, and back then I wrote a script in-game that simulated a suicide burn…
I’ve been on a journey recently of trying to get nvim, cmake, msvc, and ninja to all play nicely together, while trying to keep build scripts and configurations cross platform. So here’s how I make it so that I can throw open any wt terminal and immediately run build commands without having to do any…
Wow, I did not expect my latest video to do as well as it did, I’ll be honest I didn’t get anywhere close to the amount of work I wanted to do done last week because of how in-shock I was. But I can stare at YouTube stats forever, what happens next? First I want…
This is a rant, you have been warned. I recently was messing around with Binaryen as a possible alternative to LLVM, I always find that the best possible way to learn the true capabilities of something is to quickly try to use every feature you need at once. For me this meant setting up a…
Let me start out by saying, if I could justify writing in assembly code, I would. I am no lover of node-based scripting systems, for the most part because I’m often doing extremely complex stuff that would never lend itself well to a node based system. HOWEVER There are some places that node based systems…
While venturing into the world of LLVM I had trouble figuring out a couple of things, most of the time because people would show IR but not the actual api calls to get there. So I decided to set up this page as a reference for myself and others for things that seem a little…
I’m currently in the process of writing my own c++ inspired embedded scripting language for the game engine I’m working on, and the current feature that I’m working is implementing templates. Hopefully it’ll make it so that engine ECS api code is much cleaner. Anyway, while working on this I realized that at some point…
We now have rendering in the editor my friends! After an entire week of refactoring the graphics backend, one of the most important features of the engine is fully functional. It could have been done faster if I just set up clipping plains on a hardcoded render pass, but I wanted to fully refactor everything…
