It has been said that the most difficult part of making a game is to actually complete it. That could not be further from the truth. It may hold up when a developer is just starting out, and have little to no experience of what lies beyond completing a game (let alone making it*), but when there's …

Folks – it's that time again. We're back for another blog post… and it's a doozy! We're bringing more variety to the game than ever before and that's what this blog post focuses on. We've been hard at work on the Alpha release of the game and we're very excited to share our progress sin…

Without something to play, I can't yet form any opinions on it.

We can't believe we're writing this but... after 6 years of development, our game is finally out! (I'm one of the guys on the development team) We are having a heart attack and would like to ask you, ( hoping it's ok to do in this forum) to check it out and if that's something you think you might e…

We're a little late for this but – Happy New Year! Hard to believe this is our first blog post of 2021. Time really flies. As per usual, we've been caught up in the whirlwind that is life. Unfortunately, I had a brush with COVID-19 that was not so fun, and a lot of our team member…

Also the default resolution is 1920x1080, …

Hello survivors of the night! How have you been? It's been six months since our last blog post. Just over a half a year. We took a good long break from creating these blogs as it put a lot of added stress onto our development and at the end of the day, Nightfall is still a hobby project…

What is your skill level with C++, and OpenGL?

If you've made your game in Unity or Unreal and designed it to work with a gamepad on PC, it can potentially work directly on game consoles with minimal changes.  I've worked on a few ports where nearly everything worked out of the box because the PC version focused on xbox controllers.

If you'…

FYI that sort of issue would get caught by the D3D debug layer, and I definitely recommend enabling it for your debug builds.

@-Stu- Thanks for the feedback! I will see what I can do.

It's also still very common in games to teleport objects. E.g. grab nearby the ball and teleport it into the hand.

Nice idea. I think I can cheat this out. Thanks.

My first thought when looking at your code is “order of operations”.  Have you tried switching the last two statements around?  Have you tried setting amount to 0 or 1 and checking if you can get back your original animations?

My second thought is that there is a needless round-trip from q…

Moving this survey post to the Lounge. @large , you don't need to do anything (the thread has already been moved to the appropriate place). Please read the site's posting guidelines before you post again. https://www.gamedev.net/guidelines

@Alberth thanks a lot for your support!
Well, you are right. I will try to stop designing constantly and will try to make something more material.
I think I will be able to improve some aspects of the prototype right during the process. Maybe will post some kind of a report here when I've some progre…

Welcome back! In the month and half since our last post, the world has changed quite a bit. While I don't mean it as a pun, both the real world and Nightfall's world are much different from what they were at the time of our last blog post.…

@christiancl Thanks for the follow up. I still have you on my list for when our project is ready to consider music.

Most likely, there is no such tutorial. Hexagon theory is completely independent from the programming language and the render backend, and opengl is independent of the programming language too.

Your best bet is to split the problem in two. Code a hexagon map in c++, and render that map. A hexagon bo…
