• Optimization, Camera, and Forest Updates - 27 October 2020

  A very important aspect of software development, whether in games or applications, is the process of optimization. I'll discuss this briefly, but don't expect a lengthy tutorial (I am sure there are far better specialized tutorials out there). However, I'll perhaps provide some guidance about approaching it. Additionally, I'll go over some new changes and updates in the Forest area for VoidGate, along with a few other small, yet significant, changes. If one were to simplify the process of programming it could be put into 3 steps, it would probably look like this: Get it working right Clean it up Make it efficient While it is good practice to keep in mind the cost of using certain algorithms, especially in terms of the Big O, it is far more important to simply get your current problem solved and working. Thinking about optimization while struggling to get a particular feature or function…

• Development News - 7 October 2020

  It has been well over a year since the last article we posted about VoidGate. Some might take this to mean the project is dead, but that is far from the truth. Instead, for the past year we have rewritten the code for the game. Now we have mostly finished that and are able to focus once again on creating content. So, what was the reason for rewriting the code? The game is being built in Unreal 4, and it had been completely written in Blueprints. Not a terrible thing in itself. A strange route to go, considering I am far more proficient in C++. So why Blueprints? Partly to familiarize myself with the system (although I had spent a great deal of time prior learning it), and partly out of enjoyment. However, as time went on it became messy and difficult to manage. The greatest strength of Blueprints seems to also be its greatest weakness. It's easy to build quickly in Blueprints. However t…

  The Boss Garux is finally working in the update coming now. He still needs work done, but at least he is there. Good luck!

• Boss Still Broken - 18 March 2019

  The boss Garux is still broken in the current update. For whatever reason, he works perfectly fine in Unreal editor but breaks in the packaged version. So we are going to be working on another solution but it will take some time. We have decided to go ahead and post the update anyway, as it fixes many issues. Thank you and sorry about the problem. We will get it though :)
