Video

Since you're working with a small number of symbols, perhaps instancing the symbols could be one possible strategy to improve performance among others? I don't want to be a downer, but 20fps isn't viable for a realtime videogame, so this definitely falls in needs performance optimization category.

Quick tip about specular highlights! They look best when placed closer to the viewer rather than on the brightest point of the object since they are a reflection of the light source rather than cast light.

Take on me music video

Were you thinking of take on me at all when you decided to make a racing game

Even though I have no experience and have no interest in developing games, using unity or stuff like that, I always love these kinds of videos. Take my sub :D edit: quick grammar check from ChatGPT on punctuation

Is this why you might see white outlines where there should be a black one or none at all in some games?

BRavo man. I like it. Although I want to note the finished product still lacked a real '2D ' Feel. It was defineitly a 3D game with some fantastic shading and mesh ideas. I thought about hand drawing frames angle by angle and creating vector style 3d levels.

Wonder if Unreal Engine would give you better performance by default without fiddling with these optimization strategies.

3:45 Gee I wonder why that is 😆 *stares at 3 nested for loops to parse each frame*

absolutely NOT moebius style

I’d pay to have an mc filter like this

ITES MOEBIN TIME

morbius rendering

I love that part in Moebuis when he said "It's Moebin' time" and then he Moebed all over those guys

Loved it ! As a french artist I really enjoy the work of Moebius and he still is a massive inspiration for me. As for your shading system, a way to improve it would be to make the shadow lines follow the direction of the objet they are casted to. For example: a wall would have vertical lines on it, grounds would have horizontal lines, diagonal lines for slopes, even curved lines for curved objects. For artists this way of drawing shadow helps giving a better understanding of space in the image.

Just rediscovered you

How do you make it on the full screen???

Quality content ❣️🤌✨

Oh man, this video was great. Instant sub!

lovely video like always

Moebius style is one of my favs , kind reminds me of borderlands x spiderverse if that makes sense

Pfiou doing an Anime style cellshading shader is already complicated to render well, but you making that type of "gravure" and hatch style, it's something delicated to operate, it's nice to pay hommage to Mister Jean Giraud aka Moebius ^^...

Seriously though... Why are you still using Unity?

I ran into the issue where SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync() causes lag (which didn't make sense to me since I was using the async version) but come to find out it's an Editor only issue. Builds work seamlessly. Unity recommends profiling scene transitions in builds, not the editor. From my understanding, the Playdead team updated the Unity source code to allow them to get seamless transitions in Inside and there's a Unite 2016 talk about it.

To this day I don't understand why this channel is so underrated. I Love your videos and keep up the great work!

If you are going to add the addressable scene then your add in build settings function won't really be used. You can just use the AssetReference for the scene instead of the scene. HOWEVER, if you are going to use a scriptable to keep the scene data like this then you won't be able to do online content delivery if you want to add a new scene without making a new build for the game, since you'll have to be making the container for each new scene. Technically, a clean approach for ocd would be to get a container with all the addressable paths you may need for a scene from an online backend somewhere, then recreate these containers at runtime. But that's only if your game actually requires that.

I personally would give the choice to the player between longer loading screens, preloading with potential lag spikes, or just full ram usage (I paid for 16gb I'm going to use them god damn it!)

Doesn't having a big root object for each scenes affect performances? Smaller hierarchies beneficiate from multithreading to update their Transforms, whereas larger and more complex hierarchies have a bigger impact on garbage collection. Unless you scenes are not complex enough for that to actually affect your frame budget?

Since the main issue with the scenes is the large textures, I would've handled it the way maps are rendered. Split the massive textures into small tiles, and load them based on player position, same concept as Minecraft's "Chunks". This way only a small part of every scene's background needs to be loaded at any given time. It will also allow for seamless traversal of the world if you wish, doing away with scene management altogether.

Thanks for the video! I always enjoy them. I thought maybe if you needed to upload a big texture but didn't want to decrease the quality, you could slice it in pieces and upload one piece per frame. That way you still have your overall resolution.

So hard theme you tackle. It have so much pits and bumbps. For example. With loading/unloading you at risk to have severe a memory segmentation with time that lives your game. Also, I think, if you can, you should stop using OnEnable, Start, Awake etc events if they for logic. Better to have some object on scene, that have all objects that can have logic, and call their method directly. Unity events can be unpredictable. Anyway good luck. You have a nice project :)

your videos are so interesting ! seeing how sub-systems like this one are used in real game production is really cool :D

First

Bro that's literally Sable's artstyle

👏👏👏

this looks awesome

This video is so informative, I love it. I've been replicating this effect in Godot and so far it works fantastically! There is one detail I don't understand though; in your demo it appears as if the crosshatch completely replaces the shading on objects; how is this possible if the crosshatch is computed based on the shading?

A man that can't draw- can do all this.

i watch your video on bilibili，this very good!!!!!!!!! love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful. Makes you wish you could explore that world on foot.

What if you use multiple cameras, each rendering a desired layer with this effect? It might be the solution for moving and every stroke getting blended and blurred together.

wow it kinda looks like sable

"it looks scary at first" what??? how are you even capable of doing this???

You should sell this asset on the asset store! looks really powerful and something that many would buy without thinking twice!

Hey, you just started showing up in my feed and I've found your videos very interesting and useful. It's good stuff! 👍Which, is why your name rubs me the wrong way... Useless game dev? 🤔 I don't think what we're doing here is useless, why do you?

Found you through the Stardew Kitchen videos (saw the Frenchmen Begs for Mercy screenie and had to check if that was legit on a second channel) and found this haha! Environment artwork looks amazing, concept is familiar and always a winner. Who doesn't love rescuing animals and teaming up?? I know you said you're looking for publishers, but maybe you could reach out to TheHotCross (he's on youtube, twitter, twitch)? He's got a background in teaching/game development. It's a long shot, but it's possible he'd have some good advice, and he's a really kind person. He does a podcast with some big youtubers, who do a "book club" where they choose a game for them all to play for two weeks and then talk about it on the next episode and their audience plays it along with them too. So maybe that could be a longer term goal too? Just to get some exposure for it. And never underestimate kickstarters!! Sometimes it takes a while, but they really can blow up over night if it catches the wind right. Anyways, sorry for the long comment. I hope you have great luck with your game, it looks so charming!! EDIT: The podcast isn't on his channel, but it is posted here on youtube, it's called Spine Chill and it's on his friends channel John Twolfe.

Amazing

how do you get the little holes on the ground

That was so cool and conveyed so well

what in the hell? an incredible shader tutorial just kinda. hangin out? on yt? this is great stuff
