Painting More Retro Assets! // C++ Game Devlog #7

Vulkan support at 500 subscribers wooo!
In this game devlog, I write some new shaders and finally add shadow mapping. I also painted textures for a bunch of assets like the player character, toaster and other scene elements. This is part of a lifelong dream I've had of making an entire video game from scratch in C++ by myself.

This video looks at the following topics:
- Shadow mapping
- Texture painting
- Game engine programming
- Game development with C++
As of the recording of this video, the game is under the working title of "Cereal Adventure." It's an indie game in which a sentient cereal box must navigate a dangerous 2.5D world in order to beat out his breakfast competitors.
More videos are planned and on the way! Subscribe so you don't miss out.

UPDATE: We did it boys, 500 subscribers! I started working on the Vulkan renderer today, follow my GitHub to see all code changes as I make them! Video should be up soon 👊

Game dev in C++, There are some good other YT's as well like: javidx9, The Cherno and others. I suggest you contact them and do some collab video's, interviews? I think the C++ game dev community is a bit scattered where you could have so much fun with more collaborative, discussions, challenges, mutual learning etc. When you go outside C++ and include Unity there are of course 1000's of YT-ers. Personnaly I like Jonas Tyroller and GMTK a lot.

[@dipperdesperado]

I really liked this video, I've not seen any devlogs about making a game and also making an engine, its an interesting take. Definitely interested in seeing more.

[@AngeTheGreat]

I'm glad you liked it, more videos are planned and coming! Thanks for watching ✌

[@UnidayStudio]

The shadows... wow, your game is completely new now! Can't wait for the next devlog!

[@AngeTheGreat]

Thanks! Glad you liked it :)

[@fernasim]

The cereal guy is looking so THICC! Haha loving the work you’ve done so far

[@AngeTheGreat]

He's definitely got some extra chonk now haha glad you like it :)

[@Skeffles]

I think the retro style looks much better now you've added colour to the level. With that and the fact the cereal box is a cornflakes box, it reminds me of an old Kellogg's game called Mission Nutrition. Good luck getting 500 & adding Vulkan!

[@AngeTheGreat]

Thanks :) I've actually never heard of that game, I'll look it up! Almost at 500, let's hope I haven't underestimated how complicated Vulkan is lol

[@justvinchy8776]

This channel is so underrated. Really good job.

[@AngeTheGreat]

Thank you!

[@silvertakana3932]

I absolutely adore the little light that cast onto the fridge through the window, personally I think it gives the scene more depths and more feel to it. Great work, keep it up!

[@AngeTheGreat]

I liked that detail as well, I think it adds a lot of nostalgia/comfort to the scene for some reason. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@twofaceddivey1591]

Looking forward to this looking good

[@AngeTheGreat]

You mean it doesn't look good now 😭 Haha nah I'm joking, yeah still lots of work to do, thanks for watching!

[@nahuelfernandez2352]

40 subs for Vulkan support? Sounds good to me. PD: I like your videos

[@AngeTheGreat]

Hmm must have missed this comment... I do plan on releasing the next part of the Vulkan series soon. Thanks for watching!

[@HadesMrDark]

Just an idea out there, maybe for a death animation have him drop in place arms and legs shrink as cereal spills from the box, and absolutely good luck with the channel and the project, great videos.

[@AngeTheGreat]

That's actually a great idea! I think some other people mentioned something like this too, it would definitely be pretty old school. Thanks for the suggestion and welcome to the channel!

[@marcoavelar]

The quality of your videos is outstanding, amazing stuff!

[@AngeTheGreat]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@obedabit280]

Having a beautiful visual graphics really make a game stand out but also don't forget to improve the movement and the animation of the character it will make day night changes to the gameplay , nice work

[@AngeTheGreat]

Absolutely! Still a lot of work to do of course :) Thanks for watching and for the suggestion!

[@ilovedatfruitybooty9546]

I am loving everything so far!! Been binge watching your devlogs. Hope you keep it up!! Take your time :D

"All we are saying, is give c a chance." ;) sorry could remember how to write for the ++ to be said a 4x speed. Amazing how impactful the shadowing was to the scene. and no more pukeypurpley

[@jeancarlofalabella1195]

oh man that cereal is working out every day.

[@AngeTheGreat]

He's on a mission lol

[@actuallydaneel]

wow, another upload, and with so much new progress! keep it up ange, your work is amazing :D

[@AngeTheGreat]

Thanks! Trying to upload semi weekly lol

[@kingaita9523]

Dude, I like your content so much. A huuuuuge LIKE from me!

[@AngeTheGreat]

Glad you like it! Thanks for watching, part 8 is being made as we speak ✌

[@aarondraws7699]

The production quality compared to view count is criminal.

[@gamesofarcadia]

Great video! ☀️

[@AngeTheGreat]

Thanks :)

[@angelruizdavila9649]

Love your videos

[@AngeTheGreat]

Thank you!

[@JMRC]

Great work! Maybe it would be fun if the toast would fall back into the toaster and only use physics when the player touches it. Similar to the jumping fish in Mario.

[@AngeTheGreat]

Thanks! That is an interesting idea, I may try it and see how it works. Thanks for watching and sharing your suggestion!

[@The_DorkLord]

Congrats on 500 subs.

[@AngeTheGreat]

Thanks

[@The_DorkLord]

@@AngeTheGreat in all seriousness, I just found your channel and binged it. Your videos started with a high level of quality and only got better. As someone who's just realized they're about to get the wrong degree, I'm starting the process of doing a lot of self teaching to get where I want to be. Your stuff has been inspirational and makes me excited to work more on and learn my own stuff. Can't wait for more videos, and to try engine sim 3d!

[@rxn7]

You are so underrated

[@AngeTheGreat]

Thank you! Better than being overrated I suppose lol

[@bencusb]

just starting out in C++, hoping to make something of this level some day. Really inspiring project.

[@AngeTheGreat]

Good luck man, everyone starts somewhere! Thanks for watching ✌

Dani would approve

[@AngeTheGreat]

My life will be complete once Lord Dani finally subscribes to my channel haha

[@swiveiproduction9192]

you could use a pixel density checker addon, it could help you on making sure that the pixel density is the same

[@AngeTheGreat]

I didn't even know a tool for this existed haha I'll definitely looks into it, thanks!

[@henrydane6702]

Ange: *promises to make vulkan renderer at 500 subscribers* Ange: *has good quality subscribers* People: *subscribe* Ange has not posted in a week

[@AngeTheGreat]

The task: weekly uploads What Ange does instead: full-time job, works on too many big projects at the same time because he's an idiot, disappears for months... Haha I assure you the video is coming, don't worry! I really appreciate everyone for subscribing though and I wish I had the time to keep up with this channel properly. As always, thanks for watching and good luck with your own engine!

[@henrydane6702]

@@AngeTheGreat I completely understand -- all coding projects take longer than expected and you have work etc -- i do not mean to put any time pressure on u at all what ur doing is quite hard. best of luck!

[@t3v727]

Your shadow mapping and assets are pretty cool. Do you have a video where you are explaining how 3D animations work?

[@AngeTheGreat]

Thanks! I don't have a video on that specific topic yet but I may discuss it in a future video. It's a pretty standard system based on bezier interpolation between keyframes. I use Blender to do the animation and then export them to a format my engine can read.

[@t3v727]

If you make a video one day, I would love to watch it. But so far, thanks for the hint with the Bezier interpolation. I am going to look a little bit more into that. Somehow I am quite interested in 3D animations, though there are not too many informations online about it. So I am quite grateful for having even a little bit more information.

Yeay! I get to be the first commenter ^w^
