Using Blender for good and rendering out spritesheets for pickups using ParticleEmitters rather than having 3D models that rotate/bob every frame - much better for performance!
Stress test using ~2,000 of them

Working on a rendering system with dynamic highlights. Ignore the bad quality, I used the studio’s in-house recording system.

*by dynamic I mean that the highlights change depending on what you can see in the map. So far, my computer hasn’t crashed…
Edit: extra stuff video of dynamic highlights

much better than the next gen garbage they’re rolling out soon
Did this for a commission. Not too comfortable with the style but I think it turned out pretty well.

Recreated part of the combat system from the Wii game MadWorld in a few days.
On the Wii you had to move the remote to perform different actions. Here you can do the same by holding RMB and moving the mouse.
(Blood and stuff warning)

Reminds me of the classic Survival 101 / 303 game series by Davidii wayy back in the day. It has a charming simplicity that is reminiscent of retro Roblox builds! (although with more detail and polish 
)

I still work on this!
Today I was motivated enough to code a system similar to the UE4 level sequencer, because they can deliver the smoothest and best cutscenes or general events that occur within a scene.
This lets you basically put events, change parts of the scene and so much more, this has a serverside layer too where the server can perform changes and the clients do animations and such.

Drifting Away WAYWOC - #3
It’s time for another update on Drifting Away 2 's development!
We have been hard at work designing and implementing features.
It’s been a while since the last post, as we have been quite busy. 
So. Let’s get to the point.
First up, the map.
New map!!
We have redesigned the temporary map, to keep it consistent with what we have in mind for the game.
Sorry for the bad camera angles 
I took them ingame so I couldn’t position my camera very well.
I’ve attached a few screenshots below.
This is definitely not final, but at least it is a little more polished!
Next on the list, I have “Shop system”.
Shop system
We have made a system for claiming ownership of an item (In exchange for scrip). This is also known as “buying something” in normal English. 
See below video for an example.
The shop system deletes items if they leave the store and are not owned by a player.
Pretty cool aye? It still has some bugs, rest assured we will fix them when the time comes.
We have also set up an object registry system.
Object registry system
The object registry system allows us to make new items and structures easily. 
It already has support for planned features, such as item boxes and structure materials.
The below video showcases different clay types, which make use of the registry. :
And a building system!
Building system
The Building system is part of the (Spoiler for next section!) Plot system.
The Building system allows you to place structures on a buildable plot. You are also able to rotate the structures!
Last, but certainly 
not least, the Plot system. (My personal favorite! 
)
Plot system
The plot system is “super ultra mega cool”. It was very fun to implement and it works well. You can place structures and items on plots and they save!
You can save, load, and unload plots. The system also keeps track of who owns a plot, and which plot a player owns. The plot only saves the owner’s items.
As you can see, it works very well.
I think I’m done writing this WAYWOC log now. I hope I haven’t missed anything!
Between the thinking, recording, screenshotting, snacking, and typing (and deciding on which emojis to use ) it actually took me quite a while to write this post.
Please tell me if I have missed/forgotten anything.
If this post / the game interests you, please give the post a heart 
. It gives us a little insight into how many people actually enjoy reading these.
Thank you very much for reading the post!

I’ve recently updated my module with a lot more features (Non-access specifiers such as final and abstract, strict methods, better auto-type complete) and more! (Even has Wally support now for Rojo based workflows)
