 Rampoina | Elouin: there's very few info | 10:44:31 |
| Rampoina | but it looks cool so far | 10:44:44 |
| Rampoina | finally some abstracted networking ... | 10:45:21 |
 poVoq | dunno... I feel these barebone engines have very little relevance to FOSS game dev. | 11:37:44 |
| poVoq | obv. early days for that one, but at this point in time the tooling is way more important than some engine fetures of an otherwise "toolless" engine | 11:38:25 |
| poVoq | *features | 11:38:34 |
| poVoq | I think there are two ways (outside of comercial funded game dev) of making (larger) games these days: either have a engine like Godot with lots of existing components and tooling (engine as a services as the Unv dev. described it) or make a largely procedural world like Veloren does. | 11:41:28 |
| poVoq | for the latter a barebones engine still has some relevance, but imho these projects are rare and if I understood correctly the main reason Veloren's procedural game world creation works so well is because it was an university project. | 11:43:43 |
| Rampoina | godot doesn't even have that many components | 11:58:17 |
| Rampoina | it lacks basic state machines for example | 11:58:43 |
| Rampoina | hex tilemaps like we found the other day | 11:59:07 |
| Rampoina | etc etc | 11:59:23 |
| Rampoina | I think if anything barebones engines have *more* relevance for FOSS | 12:00:12 |
| Rampoina | that's the kind of thing programmers enjoy doing | 12:00:41 |
 bot | News from devplanet: Multiplayer in Godot 4.0: Scene Replication <https://planet.freegamedev.net/2023/02/23/multiplayer-in-godot-4-0-scene-replication/> | 12:20:47 |
| Rampoina | poVoq: could you include the original link in the bot message? | 12:32:57 |
| poVoq | no | 12:33:17 |
| poVoq | for two reasons: the current RSS feed bot doesn't support that | 12:33:45 |
| poVoq | I actually want people to visit the planet | 12:33:56 |
| poVoq | as for the second point: the idea is to provide the planet as more than an RSS feed. But rather also as a source to add comments and so on. Currently that is done via the fediverse integration, but the plan is actually to switch to a Discourse integration once I switch over forums | 12:35:46 |
| Rampoina | I vist the "planet" as an annoying middle place that makes me click twice | 12:36:17 |
| poVoq | I realize that, but that is not the idea | 12:36:34 |
| Rampoina | as an aggregator it's nice, but I'll never read an article there | 12:37:11 |
| poVoq | why not? usually it is just as good as the main source, sometimes better. ofc there are cases like the broken Veloren rss feed that do not work as well | 12:38:08 |
| Rampoina | the original source is the original, they have their own styling choices, sometimes extra images, better layout, better context, etc | 12:40:33 |
| Rampoina | and broken ones like the article above | 12:41:56 |
| Rampoina | I don't see the point in replicating them, I just need a link to the source | 12:42:27 |
 @modanung:matrix.org | But how will you know to click it? | 12:43:01 |
| poVoq | well, anyways. I think the planet will become more useful once it is integrated with the forum. | 12:45:12 |
| poVoq | I also plan to replace the current RSS feed bot here with an better option | 12:45:32 |
