Spent a whole day trying to figure out why was the camera twisting around Z axis, then I found out that's just a thing quaternions do.
gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/13...
Apparently Unity does it too.
Godot doesn't because rotation is stored as a matrix internally.

Improving my motion retargeter. Now it correctly handles neck/forefoot rotation and limb orientation. Also places retargeted limbs more accurately now, so way fewer temporal glitches. If only the feet remain grounded... #IndieGameDev #GameAnimation #3danimations #gameenginedev #gamedev #indiedev

Did a small redesign of the interface of my #2D #gameengine. Its still very basic but we vibing! #gameenginedev #gamedev

Yep, after rebuilding to correct vertex normals, lighting seems to be more natural now, seems to be : D

Finally! The retargeting setup based on my control rig auto generator is now working. Source motion from geno_laforge_ZeroEGGS. Next goal: solve sliding and ground penetration somehow. #IndieGameDev #GameAnimation #gamedev #3danimations #gameenginedev

The library of Featherstone, more aesthetic than functional, because it turns out Harpies don't like reading anyways.

Testing my auto control rig retargeting setup with a much more demanding dancing motion from Geno Motorica. I think it's holding up pretty well. Time to move on to the next goal: train an autoencoder for poses. #IndieGameDev #GameAnimation #gamedev #3danimations #gameenginedev #indiedev

Different 3D modeler produce different kinds of vertex normal (ToT), sometimes it's ugly sometimes it's good, I ended up putting recreation of vertex normal on mesh configuration for loading of mesh from a file to make it look good.

I suppose this was my main thing of 2025: I started work on not my first, nor my second, but my third and so far best attempt at a game engine. Physics, player character, completely scriptable. C++ and DX12. Jolt physics.

guys help people don't understand my transpile -> Rust architecture for my game engine. I kind of understand the C# attributes guy to an extent (but it was trivial to map that to Rust so idk why he's talking about like adding real reflection in C# libs)

Writing a Game Engine is a stupid idea - lets do it!
People say that writing a game engine is one of the most difficult tasks one can do - and people are absolutely right. So why do I want to write a game engine?

Tldr: its a tile + tilemap editor for drafting small games. Its's supposed to be small enough for you to get a concept out in a programmable format.
I need to do a serious refactor to get this all working properly tbh, but i hope you can at least see the vision here

Just posting to keep progress on my own game engine I am working on. For now it just a cube with simple camera movement with rotating it being janky ;-;. The engine is a Vulkan 1.3+ game engine and is following the bevy architecture in C++.

I find it a little bit tricky to re-create Vulkan swapchain, due to a lot to consider which part should be re-created and what's not in a fastest possible way, when surface form is Resized,Minimized,Maximized,Restored and toggle Full screen on and off. #GameDev #GameEngineDev #SoloDev #CPP #Vulkan

Fixed the predictive waiting for low #lag (input-to-photon, average of several presses at random times) #vsync (actually +0 frames on the top of the screen, +1 bottom). It auto-adjusts the margin now. For some reason it needs >4ms in 60Hz, and >2ms in 120 Hz. #SDL2 #OpenGL #gamedev #gameenginedev
