    The fact you got all the way to putting a game you built from scratch on steam is an accomplishment in and of itself. This is amazing props to you homie.

    Choosing the right game genre is the 2nd most important thing an indie dev should do, after the execution itself. A 2D platformer is not a good choice, especially if you don't have behind you a top tier visual artist. Thank you for your video, and I hope your next project would be x10000 times more successful!

    I have the exact same opinion about their steam page. Even after 3 years I still have to google how to navigate the pages I need to find.

    I'll definitely check out your game when it's on a sale! It definitely fits the style of games I play! Also, I love your videos, they inspired me to make my own 2D engine in OpenGL too! Keep up the great work!

    You inspire me in so many ways. I want to learn c++ and opengl good enough to make my own engine to learn. Also I want to make games but I am just not good enough. And you inspired me to become a youtube game dev channel one day too. Thanks man you are my daily inspiration

    Your game looks so good! You should feel proud! Video is fun too. If anything im kinda confused why your game didnt get more visibility? Did you try retagging it?

    • @lowlevelgamedev9330
      @lowlevelgamedev9330  Před 6 měsíci +2

      thank you, well I think I didn't get more visibility because there are many platformers made by indie devs so I really need something to set me appart to get some more sales

    I am greatly inspired by you to learn low level programming but don't you treat this as hobby and use a game engine to make an actual game , because i feel like time is not the problem if i have to work for 10 years to make a game like god of war i may do but work or time is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem in my opening is "know how" , after certain time your system needs certain complexity and in my knowledge there a not literature to learn advanced concepts like advance rendering techniques, animations, lighting,etc only resources available to you is to learn from existing game engine and its not easy to understand unreal engine code to learn lets say about lumen or nanite because its implementation scattered in multiple files or modules and you need great expertise to understand that

    Sadly, the market is dominated either by multiplayer games or by games that are controversial (that are usually NSFW, looking at you TCOAAL)

    • @lowlevelgamedev9330
      @lowlevelgamedev9330  Před 6 měsíci +1

      The code is not online but it is simple, so first of all ambient light for each block that is calculated by adding each light's contribution and clamping the result to 1.Each torch has light intensity and it is decreased by one for every block you go, if you are not far the light will just be max. Finally I do diffuse lighting for every face using a direction normal and a texture that masks the first 2 rows of pixels of each texture to hoghligjt tjat part, for every light weighted by the inverse square law
