It never ends.

Though Iā€™m not a programmer at all. (Do not take any advice from me when it comes to programming because Iā€™m only just beginning to actually program) Iā€™m working on these cool little Name Tags which include a VIP tag if you own a gamepass or are in a whitelisted script, Iā€™d say itā€™s pretty neat as of my restricted ability but most could do better. (Iā€™ve also added so you can change the rank to whatever you want depending on the UserID.) Itā€™s pretty gooood if I say so myself. :cowboy_hat_face:

I canā€™t record due to some sound issues atm but hereā€™s screenshots of the revamped deathmatch stuff. Sprite rendering is more lightweight, projectiles and rockets are perfect, custom chat and a bunch of other stuff!

Models for a new medieval RPG game!

Iā€™m really liking the staff and the sword though the bow could use with a little more kind of naturalness if youā€™re looking for that kind of model, if not then itā€™s pretty much perfect, I love them.

Currently making a house edit mode for my game,
It is in its very early stages which currently only wall and floor creation is available
(Mostly gui is just a prototype and not final)

I would love to hear some feedback back from you to encourage me continue on this more :heart:
(I really need it!)

Swimming pool and ladder removal when?

Also, perhaps you could try implementing a dollhouse camera for the walls, so you donā€™t have to look down quite so steep?
like this effect here,


where walls that would block the view into a room get shortened to about half a foot

meanwhile, I recently moved to Illinois, and after driving around a lot, i kinda realized ā€œheyā€¦ this would be likeā€¦ super easy to make as a driving game, because thereā€™s nothing out hereā€


only creating road around where there should be road.

to do: Wedge recycling, Prop placement

In Primitive, players get the chance to build whatever theyā€™d like. Hereā€™s a small video showcasing a creation by one of our testers :palm_tree::pineapple:

Iā€™ve been working on a new dragon model for Shard Seekers for a few months:


The entire model is going to have a little over 110 joints total once complete, but most of these joints will only run when the model is nearby or if the device is high-end. Most of Shard Seekersā€™ player base is on mobile, so Iā€™ve spent a lot of time optimizing the gameā€™s animation and LOD systems in preparation for this.

Downscaling the texture to 1024x1024 makes it look like a potato sadly, so Iā€™ll need to spend a lot of extra time cutting/optimizing uv maps, or I might just end up using Roblox materials :persevere:

Or split the model into 2 textures. Also are you mirroring the texture to save on texture space?

2 Likes

Iā€™m only working with the right side to improve workflow. The uv map does contain both sides though. Whether I should mirror the texture depends on if I want characters to have asymmetric customization options like scars; although things like this can always be implemented as additional parts instead of as a texture. Splitting the model into multiple textures can cause problems if I want to be able to ā€œLODā€ the character into a single mesh when extremely far away, but I can simply have a separate low res texture for that case.

This is what the texture quality would look like as-is, downscaled to 1024x1024 without doing any additional texture reformatting optimizations:


I could probably get over 2x the detail by optimally packing the texture. Optimizing complex textures like this by hand can take days though, and I canā€™t seem to find any tools that automatically pack uv islands and transform pre-existing images to the new layout.

Even if I do optimize it, itā€™s frustrating that I canā€™t upload above 1024x1024 for use in high-LOD scenarios on more powerful devices (the texture is 8k)

Using Roblox materials would result in something like this:

Iā€™m working on a voxel based shooter as my side project, and I just implemented explosive weapons. Itā€™s a lot of fun to blast holes right through the map lol.

Iā€™ve been working more on Blox Survival recently - have some new water and tree generation :stuck_out_tongue:

Im actually pretty Excited for it to come out. Any ETA?

Not yet - thereā€™s still a long way to go with Survival. Itā€™s a background project at the moment as Iā€™m still updating Blox Classic; once I release Classic fully tho, itā€™ll be a full time thing. Iā€™d give it a month maybe? :slightly_smiling_face:

Could you try a combination of Roblox material and Decal/Texture?

I use it for my special Zimmerit versions of my tanks

itā€™s not the best effect, but I like using it, as the visual style of my game relies on roblox materials, and to use full textures justā€¦ feels off style
