really unique idea for a horrorgame especially if you kept the rest of the 3d space and literally did just use this as a camera projection. Imagine your playing this and then halfway through something shows up as a shadow on the screen in front of you and eventually the screen gets blown away and now you are running away from an actually terrifying entity.

[@Moeturr]

excellent video! there are a few criticisms i have regarding future vids being done in this style 1. the chapter title cards are necessary, and a jingle for each one is nice, but if there aren't at least a couple of minutes in between these cards, the jingle can very quickly get very old- sometimes opting out of a jingle and renaming the chapters in a way that separates them into "acts" can also help with pacing and feelings of fatigue (ex. the chapter can be called "Textures" but sub-chapters or milestones could be called "Textures: Part 2, electric boogaloo" or something like that while keeping the jingle for "Textures" but opting out of using it in "Textures: Part 2"). this way, you can both shorten these sub-title cards in timeline length and keep the jingle for more major developments without too much compromise. alternatively, you could opt for a longer-formatted way of doing things, simply getting rid of "Textures: Part 2" altogether but remembering that "Textures" must contain a grand majority of your talk on textures- regardless of if you're talking about materials in traditional 3D for a fun side project, or simply reading a texture file and rendering a slice of it to the screen (like you did here). 2. even though it's the end of the video and most people have clicked off of it by now, a golden rule of great pacing is not wasting the viewer's time- if they haven't clicked off of the video by the end of it, they're most likely very interested in what you have to say and are going to probably click on another video. leaving large gaps in between your phrases at the end of the video is great! it shows personality and is more reflective of who you are. but if these pauses get too long, some people may feel that you're just padding runtime. i think 1 is the biggest criticism i have and 2 is more of a pet-peeve, but i still think this was a great video overall and i see great success in your future if you keep up a content style in this format! been a very long-time viewer of the channel (i think since the "let's make minecraft in unity" tutorial series days (probably more around episode 5 of that series is when i subbed)) and seeing you try more things is always welcome!

[@b3agz]

Thanks for watching and all the feedback! I genuinely appreciate you taking the time.

[@Generic_Handle4573]

This actually serves as a great tutorial by leaving you to figure out how to do everything in the language of your choice

[@b3agz]

True! I've done a bunch of videos where I spell everything out and they create a bunch of problems 😬

[@Generic_Handle4573]

@@b3agzIf you don’t mind me asking, how did you map out the cells for the play area? Only solution I can think of is to use a Multi-Dimensional array and have each block be either a 0 for air, or 1 for wall. I would just follow a tutorial but I’d rather figure out the scripting myself as much as possible.

[@b3agz]

@@Generic_Handle4573 I didn't dwell on it too much because I was only making it for this video, not a real project. The solution I used was 3 int[] arrays (floor, walls, and ceiling) with the value representing a texture. 0 was empty, 1 was brick, 2 was wood, etc. If was making this properly I would probably make a custom class/struct that contained all of the information for a given cell in one and just have one array of those.

[@cola98765]

This is fun and should be important lesson in on it's own Games today are too used to having too much processing power, which results in nice looking, but ultimately worse if you try to lower the settings to make it run on suboptimal hardware. Recreating the rendering tricks used to render a game like that, while not that useful today, shows that you can use tricks to give convincing effect.

[@b3agz]

I found it super interesting digging into this stuff. I don't know if my video should be a learning resource but I'll be very happy if it serves as one.

[@Swenglish]

It's useful if you for example make a time travel game where different time periods look like what contemporary games looked like. This style would be the early 1990s. The mid-1980s would look like an 8-bit game, with flashing sprites (because there wasn't enough memory to have a large number of sprites on screen at the same time) and a limited color palette. The late middle ages would be populated by people who look like carved chess pieces. And so on. Or if you make a game that starts out looking like Doom only to then reveal that it was a game inside a game and you're playing as a gamer. Perhaps one who then ends up having to take up arms against enemies resembling those from the game. Or perhaps the actual monsters from the game escaping into the "real world" because the game is actually itself a Jumanji-style portal to Hell, magically disguised as a shareware floppy. Those are just two ideas that suddenly came to me, that could incorporate this kind of 2.5D engine running inside a 3D engine.

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

The issue is that the constraint is rapidly becoming the man-hours to create the assets and test the code working. We're not that far away from having the ability to render more or less completely photo realistic graphics of complicated scenes, but the ability to generate the assets for a modern AAA game is easily more people that were involved in all of the development of Doom.

No. Descent is definitely a 3d game by any definition. You have 6 degrees of freedom, you can go in the X, Y, Z directions as well as various types of rolling and acceleration. What makes this fake 3d is the the player is only moving on one plane. The height of all of this is just there to make it easier to play than just having a single row of pixels. You could make entirely the same game with 3 rows of pixels to make it easier to identify when walls are slanted.
