Made this "fish first encounter" cutscene:





I finally get to use all these fancy water effects I made before Smiley This is just the beginning though, I want to have much more sophisticated water scenarios later

That is so good, with the flooding! Terrifying.

Thanks) Ye, it's also fun to make those liquid interactions, stuff like flooding and flushing, I'm planning to make more later and m.b. with the airlocks, i.e. you'll be able to transitions between flooded and normal areas through a chamber that'll flush the water

I agree with Prinsessa, that's a fantastic first encounter (you could even build up the tension a bit longer before the glass breaks)

When players reach this point, will they have seen any liquid interactions yet? Because I'm thinking: there's plenty of games where liquids are either non-existent or just a "static" thing that affects movement, so if you avoid all liquids until that moment, then they won't know the game has liquid physics yet and you can really surprise them!

Thanks) Nope, that's not the first time when the player interacts with liquids. At the beginning of the level you immediately drop into water with no enemies in it, you'll also see a hint that this is a new environment and key mapping for swimming and boosting. Then you'll need to get out of this safe water and go further, this "bunker" like thing goes right after that, so you've just seen the water and when the glass breaks you know what to do (kinda) Smiley

It's gonna hang around for about a week and then it'll be in featured list and gonna come up periodically on game updates. Pretty cool!

Hey.

Well, I postponed this project for some time. I got pretty obsessed with an idea of turning my 2D engine into 3D with a built-in editor, modern graphics (i.e PBR), Temporal AA, soft shadows, etc. So far it's going well, I'm planning to start another topic here on TIGSource once I get to the game making with it, right now I'm mostly focused on the internals. Here're some video of it BTW, in case anyone's interested:

As for "The Mission", I think I'm gonna continue this project after a while once I get some inspiration for it. Recently I got stuck with it in sense of gameplay, kinda didn't know what to do next.

Cool stuff, but maybe try to finish something or you'll risk ending up with a chain of uninished projects like so many other programmers out there... (me included)

Yes, I agree, but the thing is, I kinda stuck with "The Mission". I feel like something is wrong or missing, like it needs a touch of a good game designer in order to become something worthy. When I started it, I had a vision for it, at least for a couple of first levels, but now when I look at it I just can't figure out what should go next...
I think I'll come back to it some time later, the same happened with my previous game btw, which I've actually released. It the meantime I really want to see how this new 3D engine of mine goes Smiley

A custom engine... that sure wins my heart. Take your time, keep doing what you enjoy.

Too much got in the way for anything to write about last month to get done, but there's going to be one next month for sure, already gotten a bunch of stuff done! c:

So I've decided to try to make a Web Assembly port of the game, just for fun. And suddenly
everything just worked, like the renderer, physics, lua scripting, even input and audio! You can even
go to options menu and change resolution and that actually works Smiley And performance-wise it's pretty good:





Here's a link to the game - https://themission1.vercel.app/

Amazing. You already have a level of polish there that few games on here can compete with. Works flawlessly and absolutely smooth. I still couldn't play properly, but that's because RightClick means mouse gestures in my browser, so I kept leaving the page or opening new tabs...

Great to hear that Smiley Ye, input in browser is always a pain, not to mention WebGL, e.g. it doesn't work in my FireFox because of some glsl uniform name problem, but it works just fine in Chrome and Edge. Anyway, this is a quick-n-dirty WebAssembly port done in 1.5 days without much polishing, perhaps I could make it work in more scenarios, I just don't see the point, i.e. playing using native binary is still better. I don't even know why I made this port, m.b. because I'm on vacation and got tired of playing video games and watching Netflix Smiley
