hi
a question been jumping throw my mined for the last 5 years sens i started using blender
does blender community or the foundation support game,s ideas, ?
does the blender foundation actually care,s about the game engine in the first time?
throw this time, i discovered that the only game was made officially by blender foundation or just even using blender engine was yuo fronky
2.8 Would be the perfect time to do a blender open game, using the new viewport and all the backbones added by upbge.
I have been developing wrectifieds core systems for years, to allow collaboration through using control proxies between the game controller and actors or vehicles, and between the actors and props and have streaming detailed futuristic sci fi worlds.
The BF may support a blender open game some day, but I think we as the community are in the hot seat to make good games, with all the work the UPBGE team has been doing.
so what should we do as blender users to see some great blender games?
should we just do game,s demo,s ? and hope that one day wee get the support from the BF ,or should we just find group,s and join them to achieve great project,
lot,s of great users ,in here fear , to work with other groups ,for free , and sometimes for no reasons
which will make the group eventually die ,because thy want someone with hard skill,s like the programmer for instance or the lead modeler
i my self , a modeler and for 5 year,s i,v been trying group a team to create an online game ,and no one is willing to join because thy fear of free work, which made me in the end think like , start doing small game,s by your self
step 2 make the core mechanics using stand in art and simplifications
step 3 make it fun by playing and testing, make tools to make puzzles and levels etc.
step 4 art team takes over
edit: I see you are probably using a phone and leaving a bunch of extra punctuation - clear communication is key in a online project. Look like a leader or you won’t be one.
online games are hard, and the payoff is sometimes not that great compared to single player.
The key here is to maxamize your efforts.
things we can exploit
Geometry instancing in upbge
we can now have grass and leaves that are instances
as well as building kit trim pieces under 128 vertex.
with grass, trees, and buildings made of kit not using any alpha
an ocean shader
a sky shader
lamp lod
physics lod (upbge suspendPhysics)
splat mapped terrain instances
you can make a compelling detailed 3d world witha decent draw distance and good framerate.
I am currently building a 3rd person exploration platformer /jrpg with a talented sculpter.
Yeah I think if you want to recruit people to work on your project you’re gonna have to do more than just “putting the idea out there”. I think you should start alone and make a good portion of the game yourself, or at least a demo, just so people know that you actually know what you’re doing and you’re serious about it.
After that you can ask for people to join your group for further work on the game.
EDIT: Also have a realistic idea in mind. Like if you ask for people to work on a new open world multiplayer rpg, most people will probably just disregard you for being just another newbie who doesn’t know what he/she is talking about.
will this is some great tip,s for today
then to the other step, what are the limit,s of the blender engine
for about 4 month,s now i,v been working on a simple game , that i call it arcade tank
the game is easy and with no fancy texture,s or high control and thing,s it,s just a 2d tank game that i mad with low poly model,s ,i chose is to be like that because i want to try can i make a game or not, the thing is that when i exported the game , i noted that it,s still heavy and she is laging so much, which made me think what will it be if i am to build a game with an open world type
not to big world but a world with texture trees and other elements
i used blender 2.77 for the game with a pc of core i 3
