Warper - Sci-Fi Beat-em-Up

I noticed a few flaws in the groundwork I used to make Sorcery of Uvutu PC and Gateway to Legend . I noticed my rendering system was basically me just asking SDL to render an image rotated around its physical center. There's no changing the center, grouping images, applying filters, do real-time or pre-rendered animations, or anything like that.That pushed me to write [url=https://gi...

Explore the landscape, fight through turn-based battles, and spend Shards in order to summon minions and gain an upper hand! [...

Gateway to Legend [pc]

Gateway to Legend is an open-source Puzzle-RPG. The main focus of the game will obviously be solving puzzles to get experience, as any Puzzle-RPG would have it, but the mechanics that make this game unique is that most puzzle mechanics will be based off doors or gates! Switches and door pairs allow you to gain access to rooms, teleporters provide gates between two places on the map, and more! It also supports the development and easy integration of user-generated content, as well; you can make p...

OpenGL Terrain Discussion

I would like to design and texture a landscape in blender, and then render it in a custom openGL engine. designing the landscape is pretty self explanatory, however i don't get how to "brush" on materials onto the landscape. The engine should know what texture to use for each face (and thus have vt texture coordinates), but also know what material the object is made for in order for walk sound and stuff like that. This is what i mean by "landscape", excluding houses, trees, grass, an...

Open World Engine for RPGs (OWERPG?)

I got bored so i started programming an engine for open world RPGs. (In c++ with openGL 2). The world is split into "cells"/"chunks" which are loaded/removed as you move around. Alpha-mapping is used to shade different ground textures onto the ground mesh. (the ground is a mesh, not a hightmap, to allow for more freedom.) I am also programming some sort of "construction set", which currently allows you to edit some values of the cell, adding/removing/manipulating prefabricated objects in the cel...
