[Release] "Nullpunkt" / "Point Zero"
|
Hey there, GameDev. :)
I've just finished my recent game project. It is a 2D space shooter named "Nullpunkt" (or "Point Zero") I've been working on the last 2 years. The game engine is written entirely in C# and based on OpenGL and OpenA... |

Nullpunkt
|
Here are some screenshots to a project I'm about to finish: "Nullpunkt" (which translates to zero-point). As its content is done in german language I'm afraid only a small percentage of gamedev users will actually be able to play it... but I dec... |

2.5D realtime shadowing advice?
|
Hey there,
I'm currently thinking about how I would create a modern version of a 2D tile-based RPG engine. You know, something like that:
Only with the twist to inject a little more "graphic awesome". Dynamically lighting tilesets and objects... |

Perf considerations: Optional component methods
|
Assume the situation of a component-based gameobject system where you derive all your components from a general "Component" class. There are a lot of situation-specific update calls and not every component needs all of them. In fact, most components... |

Efficient, modern 2D pipeline?

I'm doing a different project right now, but can't keep my thoughts off that thing. I've written one or two OpenGL-based 2d graphic frameworks so far. I always used OpenGLs immediate mode although knowing it was deprecated and shouldn't be used... |

VBO / Immediate Benchmark
|
Hey there,
I repeatedly here people complaining about how sloooow immediate mode is but, using it myself, I always thought "Can't be too bad for 2D, worked good so far". Due to some recent performance issues (The first in ~three years) I wrote a s... |

2d game resolution independence
|
Hey there,
when playing a modern 2d game, are you expecting it to be resolution-independent? If so, do you expect "true" independence as in 3d games instead of just having a bigger viewport (== you can see more)?
For my current game, having a d... |

Aiming at "Freespace" in 2d: Pre-Alpha Test

Hey there,
I'm currently developing a 2d space shooter (No! Please don't stop reading yet! :D ) aiming at recreating the atmosphere and feeling of the old "Conflict: Freespace" series.
However, I've just completed a first playable demo to give... |

Need: Music [Orchestral, Sci-fi]

Heyho,
I need music for my current project.
--> Would be nice, if it was orchestral
--> Also, single instruments should bring in some "sci-fi"-ish theme
--> For now, I need one or more tracks that illustrate space combat.
--> I can't pa... |

Not really 100% Nullpunkt-related but I didn't want to open a new thread for another announcement of mine. However, I'm blogging now. Basically a development diary for whatever I'm working on. |

Rendering 2208 2D tiles - Optimization?
|
You can use one vertex buffer for all tiles and inject all their vertex data at once. Also, you draw them all at once using a single drawcall. Assuming 10 immediate mode drawcalls per tile (Begin, 4 Vertices, 4 TexCoords, End), you're... |

Games with 2.5D Isometric Graphics made from 2D images- NOT a 3d engine rendered 2.5D

Not, isometric but 2.5D as well: --[ Nullpunkt / Point Zero ]--
It internally uses 3D coordinates for each sprite but does projections in software per-quad instead of 3D per-vertex. While the camera can (in theory) move tree in all three coordinat... |

[C#] Indexing IEnumerable effeciently without allocation
|
If you need to index something, don't pass it as IEnumerable<>. As far as I know, you can't do it efficiently with an IEnumerable and ElementAt is just iterating until a coutner reaches the index parameter. |
