What are you working on currently? (2019)

No sway on the scope? Pretty easy to implement using a Lissajous Curve

wait whatā€¦is that bloodhound?


Dragon head sculpt WIP that Iā€™m working on currently. Also, I stream from time to time here: Picarto: The World's Best Creative Live Streaming Service for those interested in seeing how I make stuff.

Dropping by again because my productivity level has peaked. (yay for doing tons of boring internal refactoring for the last two weeks)

I figured out how to implement falling blocks. Theyā€™re still a bit weird and seem to ā€˜snapā€™ to the floor, but the fact it took no time at all to implement speaks to the flexibility of the server entity system I showcased here a couple days ago!

Next up; players, somehow :stuck_out_tongue:

edit: you know I had to

How are you handling movement for your block entities? If youā€™re doing a ray-check, should be a simple change to find where youā€™re landing + if the speed youā€™re travelling in your current ā€˜stepā€™ will put your block past this point. If its a check on if the next ā€˜blockā€™ is vacant, find your current speed + its intended height. If the next ā€˜stepā€™ isnā€™t below or equal to that position, continue falling.

Itā€™s a lot different than that - itā€™s using my custom entity physics solver. Turns out the problem was actually that my replication loop was out of sync with entity updates :sweat_smile:

Either way, it works smoothly now, and it looks awesome :smiley:

I have no idea who this ā€œBloodhoundā€ is. I based this design off that outfit from that crow outfit from Bloodborne.

Please release that on YouTube, I heavily beg you to do so. :wink:

Working on a re-mastered version of Matt Dusekā€™s Balance. Fixing many bugs, adding more necessary modifications and expanding the place by a whole lot, with maps to come soon.

Little rant about an issue I fixed that I'm super proud of!

With my 3-peat RDC coming up, I finally fixed the single largest issue that seriously got me into development back in 2017.

The original framework for Astral:Hearts back in 2017 was super hungry for data because of how I wanted the combat system to be fluid and real-time for both players and monsters. This pretty much made it impossible to build it on a large scale, and I was not skilled enough to find a solution for it. In 2017, clients were receiving 900KB/s at times, and it was just horrible. Since then, Iā€™ve brought it down to 300 KB/s as seen below. This is prior to a large test we ran today under a newer system.

I donā€™t know why I didnā€™t think of this sooner, but it just works. Under the same conditions and with a few tweaks to the aforementioned system, the client is receiving a lot less data while keeping my real-time mobs near-intact, and I couldnā€™t be more proud of myself. Oh and it doesnā€™t use any Remotes whatsoever!

Also, I finally got time to animate a mob that was made for the project almost a year ago, maybe even longer. Theyā€™re really cute!

i highly suggest uploading this to the devforum itself in your post so we donā€™t have to download a video on our own

May I asked what you use instead of remotes? Possibly some sort of http interface?

Just relied on Roblox to handle replication on its own using Values, but doing it on a per-client basis via the Player object.

Yeah, itā€™s only lagging in the Video and yeah itā€™s not relases yet.

How do you like it and what can I improve?
Game:

Yeah it doesnā€™t have a lot of Playersā€¦

Edit: It uses a ViewPortFrame and the Text Rotation, the button on and offscreen time AND the VIP Image on and offscreen time are random.

This is no longer Roblox anymore
