A Simple Curved GUI

http://www.sudoplaygames.com/blog/2014/10/02/how-to-a-simple-curved-gui.html

A Simple Curved GUI. Oct 2, 2014 Jason Taylor. This post details my implementation of a curved GUI. The technique aims to distort the GUI to look like it is projected onto the inside of a curved cylinder using OpenGL and GLSL. I was about to give up and retire for the evening when I ran across this vague tidbit from a four year old youtube video. I just simply transform every pixel on screen by quadric function in fragment shader. Suddenly, I felt dumb; of course it’s going to involve a parabola! Let’s u...

Completely DRM Free

http://www.sudoplaygames.com/blog/2014/11/10/completely-drm-free.html

Nov 10, 2014 Jason Taylor. Last week, I rewrote the launcher from the ground up rendering Lodestar: Stygian Skies truly and completely DRM free. The previous launcher used an authentication system that required players to register an account with our server and purchase the game before playing. That is no longer. Last week, I wrote a new launcher that doesn’t require any authentication and provides an improved feature set. Provides the player with an easy way to manage their mods (coming soon).

Hover Glow and Occlusion Ghosting

http://www.sudoplaygames.com/blog/2014/09/01/hover-glow-and-occlusion-ghosting.html

Hover Glow and Occlusion Ghosting. Sep 1, 2014 Jason Taylor. It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything really technical about Lodestar, so I decided to write about some of the challenges that I recently faced while implementing two new features into the deferred rendering pipeline: hover glow and occlusion ghosting. The Stencil / Line-Width / Wireframe Solution. This method is outlined as follows:. Draw the object and write into the stencil buffer. Set the line-width to a visibly wide value. The Hardw...

Finding Interesting Areas in a Cave

http://www.sudoplaygames.com/blog/2015/07/28/finding-interesting-areas-in-a-cave.html

Finding Interesting Areas in a Cave. Jul 28, 2015 Jason Taylor. Procedurally generated caves present a problem when trying to find interesting spawn areas. To generate area masks for our cave areas, we use a layered, diffusion limited aggregation approach. What we end up with is pretty organic, as you can see below, and serves our purpose very well. Now that we have these, how can we identify areas of interest in the mask? This is the process that we mimic with the algorithm described below. Select all t...
