I'm not sure what you mean. It's a generic function I wrote it once. Then I did test whether each subsystem was needed or not (although I did that in groups and not one by one)

Usually for these I use a text editor's multiple cursors features to type multiple lines at once (some editors like Sublime even handle intelligent clipboards) If the task is too complex for that, I write code to generate the code. I also could have written a simpler code with a list of types to delete and a loop iterating through it

As soon as the picture starts moving with more than 12fps, the hand drawn feel is basically lost. That's the issue with trying to make a game look hand drawn. either it IS hand drawn and animated (Cuphead) or it's still and can look like hand drawn... the second it moves in uncanny way that hand animation would not, game over :) It's a great effort, but there's still bunch of problems to solve to be actually convincing :) But as a tutorial on what to do to get the look, this is gold.

One thing I would modifie is to make outline thickness depend on depth (distance to the object), proffesional artists make lines thinner if they are further away to show the depth of the scene

have you considered using a compute shader to parallelize and speed up the solve to a single frame?

@uselessgamedev Ай бұрын

Hi! Yes and no. Solving in a single frame wouldn't be possible because you need to make some clicks to make the game progress, and wait for windows to process that. So even if a "round-trip" takes a frame you would need multiple of them. A compute shader would certainly speed things up but not by much as the number of cells to analyze (the "edge" of the discovered space) isn't that large and the CPU is capable of handling them quite fast. I do agree this is a parallel problem though and would benefit from parallelization, whether on CPU or GPU

@EtienneDeguine Ай бұрын

@uselessgamedev I see yes I was referring to a single frame for the part in between clicks (image processing + logic) so that you could click every other frame but it sounds like the latency is somewhere else. Keep it up, I love your videos :)

A blank project should be about 30mb. Surely your couple of images can't bump it to 80mb! This is why I have settled on older versions of Unity. They provide negative value with each update. I clearly remember going from Unity2019 to Unity2021 in-editor compile times went from ~1 second to 3-5 seconds.

loving this video but a minor gripe: measure performance in ms, not fps, fps is hard to compare due to being inverse. if you cut frame time by 16ms you go from 30fps to 60, or from 10 fps to 13fps, same improvement but one seems way more impressive!! gamers might not understand ms vs fps but we're smart game devs so we don't need to worry about that for performance discussion

Here's one that, in my tests, gave an 8x improvement in frame-time: avoid using unity's reflection-based "event" functions (eg. Start, Awake, Update, FixedUpdate). If you create a singleton that receives the unity "events", you can architect your MonoBehaviours (via base class) to register and deregister themselves to the singleton, which will then directly call the relevant methods through either C# events, or lists of interfaces (eg. IFixedUpdateable, IAwakeable). I don't use Unity nowadays, so unfortunately I didn't get much use out of this after I figured it out, but hopefully it helps others. Unity's 'events'/'messages' are based on runtime reflection, which comes with an absolutely insane amount of overhead. I've never understood why they thought building the application code on the top of reflection was a good idea, especially since when they first architected it, reflection was even slower than it is now.

@uselessgamedev 2 ай бұрын

Oh 100%. You could even put your singleton in the playerloop. But it's certain the SendMessage/Broadcast message system is a performance sinkhole, and the events (Update etc) cannot be much better

@Biggorbino 2 ай бұрын

Hi, could you try explaining that in a beginner friendly way because i am interested

@Briezar 2 ай бұрын

from what I know, Unity messages do not use reflection (SendMessage might be, but not Start, Update, etc.). A quick search on google will have you this: "The first time a MonoBehaviour of a given type is accessed the underlying script is inspected through scripting runtime (either Mono or IL2CPP) whether it has any magic methods defined and this information is cached. If a MonoBehaviour has a specific method it is added to a proper list, for example if a script has Update method defined it is added to a list of scripts which need to be updated every frame. During the game Unity just iterates through these lists and executes methods from it." So what you're doing is essentially reinventing the wheel, minus the checks so you have more performance. Checks here include the auto-removal of null/invalid "IUpdateable"s from a list while iterating, handling exceptions and so on.

@razveck Ай бұрын

IIRC this is not entirely true. There's a blog post from Unity saying they don't actually call methods through reflection. They register the methods through reflection at compile time/some other pre-processing step and there is no runtime reflection.

@@anon_y_mousse Well, you can start from the step just below the comercial engines. No need to write a compiler from scratch, but there are existing libraries that give you control over what you want to add. I'm not even an engine purist, but if you want a comercial engine to be perfectly optimized for your project it'll be hard to find one. I know you can modify and recompile Godot (if you know C++), but Unity and Unreal Engine could be lost cases in that regard. The tech debt will carry over no matter what

@xabblll 2 ай бұрын

Hello there! As technical artist I can recommend more optimization, if you really trying to strip unity default stuff. 1. Check you Player Settings and remove things you don't use. Best examples are Video support, built-in shaders, unused qualities, Graphics API, and code stripping as video mentions. 2. Try to avoid URP/HDRP if you trying to achieve performance or small footprint. Ideally, write your own custom SRP, other option will be to keep Built-in, but obviously you will miss new features 3. Avoid default shaders such as "Procedural Skybox", "Standard" from built-in RP. Ideally write your own, without hundreds of variants Asset-wise obviously check you textures and models, in some cases sounds could get pretty big too. For example, small 3D web game I developed for game jam featured full PBR, Post-fx, 3D level, sounds & music, 0 asset optimizations, since I was out of time, but I setup project beforehand, and wrote somewhat decent looking SRP+Shader core. Surprisingly Web build come out about 20MB, when Godot games I saw was about 60-150MB, and 150+MB for most basic looking UE4 games Edit: Yes, I checked my web build with empty project, it’s 8mb

Honestly? Unity's issue is not really that it's builded games are bloated, rather the editor itself is. God unity 2022 LTS was an absolute PAIN to use, Unity 6 is miles faster in that regard but still slower than the old days of unity 2018 & 2019

@CadaverKuma The entire point of a package system is that you can have a lean core and only include modules you need. But instead of getting leaner Unity just got slower and more bloated, that's just objectively a failure. Doesn't mean it can't still be the best engine for your usecase of course, but I think the drastic decline in popularity and share price proves I'm not alone in thinking Unity messed up.
