L.B.A. Remake is (un)dead.

-

This time I have some good and bad news, I will begin from good and bad I will left for the end, that way will be better.

When I didn't write any post I slept much ,right now I'm pretty tired and in some days after work I just go sleep. I don't know the source of this situation but probably it's time of year so in few weeks everything should return to normal.

When I don't sleep and I have strength then I write game. And here is the good information I done next step in project development, bellow you can find quick screens from actual look of game (I still use old assets). Right now I switched rendering on deferred shading, I'm still not happy with result but step by step I will polish it.

And here come bad information: all things will take little more time than I planed. Right now I spend long time on:


  • cleanups of old things, 
  • bug fixing after changes, 
  • polishing tools,
  • optimization,
  • changing of engine architecture.
Most controversial is probably last point but after switching on deferred rendering there are many changes that need to be done, many that should be done and even more that would be nice to have.

Of course I didn't do only graphics changes, one thing that you can see on screens is begin of the AI system, but there are many other small things that were created in meantime.

And of course project is not dead, I only don't post any updates because I thing that everything still look like early pre alpha. So I wait when I will have something realy good to show then I will post some news on other portals too. If you like to know some news you can check this blog or give some questions in coments I will be glad to answer them.

Query commands execution

So like always start with problem description: I have some pool of command represented as enumerator. Each of command can have unique data that size can be different. I wanted to create system that allow me in easy way iterate over them and execute.  After some time I created this implementation: template<ECommands::enum cmd> bool execCommandTemp(ECommands::ENUM a_cmd, void* a_data) { if (a_cmd == cmd) { SCommand<cmd>::execute((SCommand ::SData*)a_data); return false; } return execCommandTemp<(ECommands::ENUM)(cmd+1)>(a_cmd, a_data); } template<> bool execCommandTemp<ECommands::WRAP>(ECommands::ENUM a_cmd, void* a_data) { return true; } bool execCommand( ECommands::ENUM a_cmd, void* a_data ) { return execCommandTemp<(ECommands::ENUM)0>(a_cmd, a_data); } where SCommand look in example such a way: template <> st...

And as I said last time new preview is available: As you can see a lot has changed. Right now I mostly focus on gameplay so I do test of AI (some of them you can see on end of movie), changes in fight, items managing, fix some problem with physics and many other things. To say truth I don't remember them all :P So I'm going back to work and till next week.

Few words about remake

Time is something funny we don't notice when but it pass by so quickly. Few months ago I announced release of this pre-alpha build. Then it was so far away right now only a little bit more then month left. You probably wondering what changed in this time. So below you will find some summary of biggest changes (from my point of view): Component base architecture  Decision on big changes in engine architecture aren't easy. I think that transition from class base approach which looked like that : class CGameObject class CModelObject : public CGameObject class CPuppetObject : public CModelObject class CChcaracterObject: public CPuppetObject  to component base ( like in Unity 3D ) was one of the biggest and most problematic changes that I done in White Rabbit Engine in last years. I needed to change a lot of code, don't break the game that I have and in the same time change my approach to resolving problems.  Level Editor : New com...
