I'm like at the 2 month point where I usually get bored and abandon my project to do something new, I am feeling that right now. I suddenly want to work on a software CPU rasterizer again. BUT. I have decided NO. I will stick with it. Added buildings back #gamedev

Much of the work I've done on the engine these past days has been on making pathfinding faster and able to be done in increments in the background, all with the goal of eventually supporting lots of minions #gamedev #indiedev #enginedev

I added the ability to create custom shaders (assets) to my engine and now I'm slowly adding interesting effects to the game, see my prev post for the old tornado, this one is a WIP and is already a lot better #gamedev #indiedev #enginedev

DuskEngine can now use spritesheets & cycle through them. My first use case is for animated light halos (7 frames running at 10 fps here), which used to be done via scripting (changing the scale of the transform), but now all that overhead has been removed #gamedev #indiedev #enginedev #duskengine
