 bot | Title: Game Made for VR on a $1 Processor? - Invidious (at yewtu.be) | 18:28:39 |
 Rampoina | (the title is a bit clickbaity, it's not a game for VR, rather people playing on a console with a microcontroller together with people on VRChat) | 18:29:28 |
| Rampoina | it's still super cool | 18:29:35 |
| Rampoina | just to continue the point about devs and programming games | 18:29:48 |
| Rampoina | this is way cooler to me than godot | 18:29:53 |
| Rampoina | (besides the networking part, that part sucks :P) | 18:30:02 |
 poVoq | I don't get the point, but it is kinda cool | 18:33:57 |
| poVoq | like your point | 18:34:15 |
| Rampoina | my point is that when devs make games they do it to hack on stuff, do this kind of low level programming, implement stuff from scratch, etc | 18:35:26 |
| Rampoina | so fully featured game engines are not really attractive to people like that | 18:35:55 |
| poVoq | ah. | 18:37:54 |
| poVoq | but those hacks are nothing more than a toy to play around for the dev and maybe a few other people | 18:38:22 |
| poVoq | I find them cool to read about but obviously I would never use most of them myself | 18:38:49 |
| Rampoina | not really, see any 2d foss game | 18:39:05 |
| Rampoina | you still play them, people made the engines from scratch | 18:39:14 |
| poVoq | those usually use a fully fledged game engine | 18:39:24 |
 potatoxel | ur a fullu fledged game engine | 18:39:37 |
| Rampoina | no they don't | 18:39:39 |
| Rampoina | they use small engines at most | 18:39:51 |
| poVoq | löve, libgdx? | 18:39:53 |
| poVoq | maybe not at big as Godot, but still far from barebones | 18:40:12 |
| Rampoina | yeah those are small engines, but you still picked ones that use stuff like that | 18:40:40 |
| Rampoina | see opensurge just as a random example | 18:40:52 |
| Rampoina | dunno, globulation2 all custom | 18:41:03 |
| Rampoina | etc | 18:41:05 |
| poVoq | those are both really old projects from when there was little other choice | 18:41:32 |
| Rampoina | C-Dogs SDL | 18:41:41 |
| Rampoina | OpenTTD | 18:41:44 |
| Rampoina | the list goes on | 18:41:47 |
| poVoq | SDL is nearly a game engine :p | 18:42:07 |
