New programming video! This is the second one in my series about programming a PC strategy game from scratch in C++ using directx. This one is all about where the code starts, and the flow of the code into the main game loop. Enjoy! And share/like/whatever :D. youtu.be/_rrH6MPrPGM

Considering making a series of videos about the programming behind Ridiculous Space Battles. I code from scratch in C++, no unity, my own engine using directx9. I use Visual Studio and irrklang for sound. Thats about it. I need to remind myself it *does not matter* if not many people are interested!

I had forgotten how much progress I had made with this little project =) I have been deep in engine code rewriting the transform system, sometimes I need a visual. #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment #solodev #customgameengine #screenshotsaturday

Viv is 100% correct here. Your options are always one of three: 1. Do not make an indie game. 2. Get funding, usually by making something that fits a very narrow and useless definition of "safe", and subsequently losing agency over your production reality. 3. Have another income or means.

If you need to load .fbx models I definitely recommend ufbx, easy to compile (one #include) and pretty simple to work with github.com/ufbx/ufbx

Some more props/building tweaks. Decided to do what I could to make the game store and upgrade-able area stand out a bit more. #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment #gamedesign #blender3d #opengl #customgameengine
