Spyro! This was my favorite video game series growing up! I sure hope you’re following copyright laws here

“How much?”

“500 bricks.” :sunglasses:

Not bad! I like the style you’re going for. Were these masterpieces made in Blender by chance?

:open_mouth:

Only the weights, the hexagons on the mats, and the screws on the side of the racks were made with Blender (which only really took about 40 seconds in total). The rest was made with Studio.

We’re currently going for a very vibrant, cartoonish theme with our game, hence the SmoothPlastic and the bright colours. I tried to incorporate as much detail as possible to make them look :fire: rather than keep everything strictly limited to low-poly.

Yikes that’s fast! Honestly I’ve never understood Blender, but then again I’ve only ever tried it like 2 or 3 times…

Well you definitely did a great job of keeping your builds detailed. Many people have a hard time building low-poly while still staying high-quality.

Well your hard work is definitely paying off, you impressed me. Keep up the great work friend! :smiley:

Last update I’ll make publicly (not promised) about randomly generated terrain plants.

Currently I can generate and place ~2,100 flowers in ~0.035 seconds. All thanks to custom caching and efficient code.

I’ll be using it in my (future) games so everytime a new map is loaded there will be a new and completely random/different placement of flowers. It’s practically useless but I like when games don’t look the exact same everytime you play them.

Edit: Thanks to @F1ndlay, I reduced it down to ~0.022 seconds per ~2,100 flowers. As well as saving tons of resources in terms of sending and receiving network.

yep, all of the models where made by me, although I’m not entirely sure that the wooden crate counts as I edited the wooden crate free model when I was first testing the game. However I have plans to create a new crate model, then everything in the game will have been created by me (excluding the music, which I got from the roblox APM music library)

Finally textured! Took me 6 hours to figure out few problems and texture it… It’s worth it!

Since your code is so efficient, you could consider only generating the flowers around the player’s camera to potentially reduce any lag for weaker devices. If you do that you could also increase / change the density in certain areas so that you could create flower fields, etc.

You should definitely include the flowers in games that you create, they look beautiful!

damn that’s beautiful! I’ve been following your progress for a while now since some of your first posts on the forum, It’s insane to see how far you’ve come already!

I considered that but everything is generated on the server, wouldn’t looping through and removing flowers not near the player cause more harm than good?

Should I consider generating on the client instead?

1 Like

I would definitely consider doing it on the client, as it allows for much more flexibility, such as changing the render distance for the flowers, or giving users the ability to enable or disable them, and it would also reduce the amount of data being sent through the network. It’s not at all necessary to generate them on the client, but if you have the time to make the switch I’d recommend it.

Before, generating on the server:

Now, generating on the client:

I’ve been working on a low-poly/cartoony styled game, and I thought I’d share a small part of it with you guys. Let me know what you think! :smiley:

Note: This is my first low-poly/cartoony styled game.
