Voxel Game Development Is Hard 

You should take a look at Veloren. It is an open-source project which was also inspired by Cube World and it is also written in Rust

I'm messing with Bevy as well, not gonna lie, it's starting to make sense. But I TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTALLY did not spend 3 days trying to make it so my space ship can repeatedly shoot projectiles by just holding the button.

Finaly a devlog again!!! Woho! thank you!

I'm also making a voxel engine in Bevy?!?!?!? I knew there were others but holy cow...

Amazing as always! Awesome project, great video, ETCETERA!

Are you not worried by the fact that there already exists a written in Rust, Voxel RPG, inspired by Cube World that is already playable and is free and open source? It's called "Veloren" in case anyone is wondering.

wintergatan music. outstanding choice sir

tbh i would continue on the physics, they can be a pain in the ass, but cutting down a tree, and killing enemies with it uhh

Awesome, always fun to see your progress. I have a question - what program do you use to edit your videos on PopOS?

I feel you with the diagrams. I can't read code. I can only write it. So if I want to know what my code does, I better have diagrams like the one @1:44 .

Thanks for lesson number one I'm going to leave ssages on a few of your posts and maybe even a few links to soft I make in the

question since you're developing on POPOS, but you're using DLLS internally will this game natively support linux still?

4:00 why is it a dictionary and not an array with enum indexes? I don't know much about rust, just asking

It is hard to find a Bevy 0.8 tutorial, could you make one? :->

Hey, what is your project management software ?

Come on man, the variable doesn't need to be mutable!

did you try using greedy meshing ? are you satisfied with the rendering speed ? (greedy meshing is great but doing AO with it is massive pain, im trying to deside what to do im my project)

LOOOL YESSSSSSSS TNice tutorialS COMNT IS FELTTTTT

9:37 i think you'd better write your own camera system instead

What task/project management software do you use here 0:35 ?

Ah maplestory memories.

Just been thinking, if you let players build with the blocks you should probably have all sites xD.. also how would the grass block look from below with that setup, just no texture or the top one?

What software were you using for the tasks and management?

In Minecraft you can change to autojump. 👀

I think the textures could have a rework. 🤓

I love it Sir can you help to edit

so basically you are making minecraft clone with rpg elements

🥰🥰

3D stuff is arl hard and you make it with rust

SA. I watched tNice tutorials video last year and guess who's back for a fresher course

"It works like a charm, even though I barely know what I'm doing." Programming in a nuttshell.

Hey Tantan, things are looking good, especially the AO! Make sure to implement the quad-flipping tweak mentioned at the end of 0fps' ambient occlusion article to get rid of those sharp 'AO spikes', it makes things look significantly better, it's definitely worth doing!

You got me into Rust and I quite like the user-friendliness. After some 2D stuff I'm now working on a 3D game with planes and stuff. I'm probably not gonna use an engine and so I spent 1 Week just on figuring out the coordinate system :D I wanted millimeter accuracy anywhere in the world, so I was first working on a complicated position system where an i32 represents the current chunk and an f32 gives the position locally in that chunk. But there where so many edge cases, that I eventually realized I could just use an i64 and Fixed Point conversion, where I pretend that a certain number of bits at the end represent the fraction and when I need the Meter-value, I right shift by the amount of fraction-bits. I could then delete all the complicated code I had written. It was a week of work, but the new solution felt so much better. Anyway at this pace I will be done in around 12 Years, and my motivation for a project usually lasts a month, so we'll see how much further I'll get :D

3:33 you should use assert_eq! instead of assert! here, it takes two arguments and panics if the two are not equal. because youre passing the actual variables for the macro to use instead of just a bool, the panics will give you more information than assert!. you can also do assert_ne! for inequality.

You probably heard of this before. But there's a voxel game made entirely in rust called Veloren. Maybe you should check it out for some inspiration.

So good to see you back on your project ! I hope you'll have a lot of fun making it.

can we just talk about how he is very evidently using Linux, but still uses .exe in his demonstration?

It's always nice to see the progress you make on this project, big or small. Great video, already waiting for the next one 😲

Finally a video where i can see the guys mouse, he says words clearly and actually SHOWS how to open stuf like the soft roll instead of

Say it with me: Bevy Bevy Bevy Bevy Bevy Bevy Bevy Bevy

First

Tantan. Your hair is magnificent.

Hell yeah bro I'm making my own voxel game on unreal engine let me tell you it's hell fun exciting for a minute or two than absolute hell again

_It gets messy the code is messy but surprisingly it works like a charm..._ Said every developer more frequently than we'd like to admit.

Good to see your progress on the voxel game. Totally agree, that implementing physics without a game engine is a nightmare. I had to do it for a game I made with Three.js and it took me an entire month to finish!

Could make a video how to setup helix for rust and bevy? I tried alot couldnt get it worked so far like i wanted.

You should probably get rid of the ultrablack areas somehow

This is NOT a voxel engine... the same way Minecraft or Cube World are not voxel engines.

Checkout valoren, its a voxel rpg in rust too

Art tip, don't use pure black for your occlusion! In the real world, shadows are often dark blue. Try it - it might look more colourful & less muddy 👍

He's BAACKKK! Love these videos, and it's super cool that you're still making your voxel game in Rust! (Also my favorite programming language, that I actually found from your first Rust video)

You should try to get close to the game veloren's team

Great video! You really got the balance of technical / high level right. It's nice when you find a fun project that keeps you motivated to push through the hard parts, you learn so much!

Great video! I always love to see more rust game dev videos. What tool are you showing in 0:39 for managing your tasks? I'd like to check it out for myself.

any reason you’re using bevy over something like uniry or godot?

did you managem to improve the performance of the code? You mentioned this some videos ago

using egui very cool

Eeehoo, how I love this (probably already a column) on the channel.

The problem with stopping every block on physics may have been because you didn't simplify the geometry. When two bits of collision are next to each other physics engines tend to get caught up on the edge between. A solution is usually to merge flat areas of collision geometry into one simple box instead of a bunch of small ones.

Text is quite easy to render properly in 3d with signed distance functions/fields :) The generation is cumbersome, but there ofc is open tools to pre-generate them :) There are great, easy examples of it on ShaderToy.

Cool video. Im currently playing with Rust but not with any game engine just cli, yew. Maybe next I will do project using Bevy:) Also I like to change some of my productivity habits. Recently switched from vscode + vim to Neovide with Astronvim base and I ❤️ it so far. Wonder how it compares to mentioned Helix 🤔

I would love to see a video on that 2d physics engine!

This might sound weird but consider making ao color slightly yellow as light from the sky is mostly blue. Id also recommend not using a linear gradient

hopefully, RU-vid is still around to help Nice tutorials upload "echo into eternity" XD

depending on what you are trying to do, a full 3D physic engine can be overkill, and starting a new one with balls isn't a good idea, you will then have to deal with quaternions and impulse resolution for something like minecraft, you should focus on a 2D platformer engine with a fixed grid and aabbs, it's pretty easy and porting to 3D is straightforward

very cool

yo im always happy when I see one of these devlogs. Idk, you just make boring stuff interesting

Something i've seen in a lot of voxel engines that i still dont get is, why do you only need top side bottom? what if there is a block in the air? do all other sides just get filled?

Man, your videos are so interesting and inspiring. Hopping on a flight and was excited to be able to watch this before boarding!

Great to see you making solid progress! I really like how you jump into smaller projects to understand what you're doing in the main one.

Nice, was fun to watch as another rust dev

a different world. It's the sa laws, but different application. Without your videos, I'm not sure I would be at the level I'm at. I'm not a pro

hype

nice ;D

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Tantan, how would you recommend to learn rust? I've installed it and its really fun so far, I'm just struggling to understand any of it lol

I want to start making soft as a hobby , but everytNice tutorialng is so overwhelming and I still feel lost when attempting to make soft.

Bruh, development in a nutshell: How hard can it be to count 1,2,3 ... 3 weeks later it works (it's buggy as hell).

TNice tutorials was an amazing video! you really Nice tutorialt all the key points for the basics without ever over complicating anytNice tutorialng. A hard job and you did

I hope this game comes out a success. I've loved Cube World so much, but sadly, after years of silence, the sudden release with many positive things changed for the worse made me give up on it. I'm not sure whether those things were changed again later, but it really was a big letdown seeing the game in a worse state at launch than at early access.

soft once you've gone beyond the soft length accidentally. i'm tempted to do everytNice tutorialng in the sa step sequencer rather than

s and a couple EDM and Dubstep goals for myself, and I guess I better start learning sowhere. Thanks for the great vid!

So I went into soft soft and tried to intuitively grasp the basic fundantals. And now listening back I feel like I'm one step ahead of Nice tutorialm.

the days of blocks is over voxels can be any shape now didn't u play landmark or DU....... voxel farm noob look it up

trying to learn soft so I am easily understanding everytNice tutorialng but I don't tNice tutorialnk it is for complete beginners who just opened the soft literally 5

not know , but just know you've affected my life, and apparently tens of thousands of others, in an imnsely positive way. Thank you

I basically know everytNice tutorialng there is to know about soft soft but I still watched tNice tutorials through just because of how good you explained

problems and than volu automate the boi cuz I didn’t know how to sidechain. My one buddy produces riddim and he legit saw my daw

10:21 jdh colab?

anyone reading tNice tutorials, taking care of your ntal health should always be your first priority in any case. your happiness matters before

tNice tutorials was really helpful on day 1 of softS for . I managed to create a whole 5 sec loop hahaha. But I am proud of myself and cannot

What is that shading language?

You should check out Veloren. Its open source, Rust based, and it's really good right now.

What backend does this use? Vulcan? How is the Rust language compare to c++ or python?

I recomnd you two to buy the Producer Edition (And if you have got money, buy the Full Bundle)

6:43 Minecraft has auto-jump, but people often turn it off because it's annoying

I noticed you used a lot of osrs gifs/memes, do you play :O some rust/osrs content would be incredible.

watcNice tutorialng tNice tutorials on a Friday tNice tutorialnking ima be the next Skrillex by monday.

This is very impressive. One of my new favourite dev channels
