3:33 you should use assert_eq! instead of assert! here, it takes two arguments and panics if the two are not equal. because youre passing the actual variables for the macro to use instead of just a bool, the panics will give you more information than assert!. you can also do assert_ne! for inequality.
Hey Tantan, things are looking good, especially the AO! Make sure to implement the quad-flipping tweak mentioned at the end of 0fps' ambient occlusion article to get rid of those sharp 'AO spikes', it makes things look significantly better, it's definitely worth doing!
You got me into Rust and I quite like the user-friendliness. After some 2D stuff I'm now working on a 3D game with planes and stuff. I'm probably not gonna use an engine and so I spent 1 Week just on figuring out the coordinate system :D I wanted millimeter accuracy anywhere in the world, so I was first working on a complicated position system where an i32 represents the current chunk and an f32 gives the position locally in that chunk. But there where so many edge cases, that I eventually realized I could just use an i64 and Fixed Point conversion, where I pretend that a certain number of bits at the end represent the fraction and when I need the Meter-value, I right shift by the amount of fraction-bits. I could then delete all the complicated code I had written. It was a week of work, but the new solution felt so much better. Anyway at this pace I will be done in around 12 Years, and my motivation for a project usually lasts a month, so we'll see how much further I'll get :D
@@KyranFindlater True, but I didn't want any difference in behaviour close to the origin vs far away. When floats are close to 0, they have much more precision than at higher values. And I wanted the same precision / deterministic behaviour, regardless of location. This is really just a minor detail :P
Great video! You really got the balance of technical / high level right. It's nice when you find a fun project that keeps you motivated to push through the hard parts, you learn so much!
Good to see your progress on the voxel game. Totally agree, that implementing physics without a game engine is a nightmare. I had to do it for a game I made with Three.js and it took me an entire month to finish!
He's BAACKKK! Love these videos, and it's super cool that you're still making your voxel game in Rust! (Also my favorite programming language, that I actually found from your first Rust video)
Text is quite easy to render properly in 3d with signed distance functions/fields :) The generation is cumbersome, but there ofc is open tools to pre-generate them :) There are great, easy examples of it on ShaderToy.
The problem with stopping every block on physics may have been because you didn't simplify the geometry. When two bits of collision are next to each other physics engines tend to get caught up on the edge between. A solution is usually to merge flat areas of collision geometry into one simple box instead of a bunch of small ones.
Great video! I always love to see more rust game dev videos. What tool are you showing in 0:39 for managing your tasks? I'd like to check it out for myself.
I feel you with the diagrams. I can't read code. I can only write it. So if I want to know what my code does, I better have diagrams like the one @1:44 .
Are you not worried by the fact that there already exists a written in Rust, Voxel RPG, inspired by Cube World that is already playable and is free and open source? It's called "Veloren" in case anyone is wondering.
This might sound weird but consider making ao color slightly yellow as light from the sky is mostly blue. Id also recommend not using a linear gradient

depending on what you are trying to do, a full 3D physic engine can be overkill, and starting a new one with balls isn't a good idea, you will then have to deal with quaternions and impulse resolution for something like minecraft, you should focus on a 2D platformer engine with a fixed grid and aabbs, it's pretty easy and porting to 3D is straightforward
Not to discredit you, but have you heard of veloren? It's a voxel game inspired by cube world and made with rust, oh and it is open source, it is on a way more advanced state, it has gameplay and some content like gear and bosses, but lacks a few systems, you could check it out! And maybe even contribute.
Something i've seen in a lot of voxel engines that i still dont get is, why do you only need top side bottom? what if there is a block in the air? do all other sides just get filled?
I hope this game comes out a success. I've loved Cube World so much, but sadly, after years of silence, the sudden release with many positive things changed for the worse made me give up on it. I'm not sure whether those things were changed again later, but it really was a big letdown seeing the game in a worse state at launch than at early access.
Cool video. Im currently playing with Rust but not with any game engine just cli, yew. Maybe next I will do project using Bevy:) Also I like to change some of my productivity habits. Recently switched from vscode + vim to Neovide with Astronvim base and I ❤️ it so far. Wonder how it compares to mentioned Helix 🤔
I basically know everytNice tutorialng there is to know about soft soft but I still watched tNice tutorials through just because of how good you explained
I do not stream. have thought about it but I don't see me trying it any time soon. Will probably try some time in the future when I can do some light-weight programming. Doing a lot of hard thinking stuff atm
did you try using greedy meshing ? are you satisfied with the rendering speed ? (greedy meshing is great but doing AO with it is massive pain, im trying to deside what to do im my project)
I have not tried greedy meshing, I feel like the fps is good enough to have a 8 chunk radius around the player. (With my rather old graphics card gtx 660). It's a topic I would like to explore, but atm I'm not doing anything related to performance/graphics. Priority 1 at the moment is getting a combat gameplay loop in!
@@plebisMaximus i don't think it's WSL because his terminal host-name was something that had pop_os in it, and pop_os as far as I know doesn't work with windows subsystem yet.
Hey Tantan, how do you cope with stress and burnout? I been doing some indie rust game dev and it's been very stressful. Had to look at lots of formula, do lots of research and it's been very hard. Just last week alone, I stopped programming for 3 days just to take a rest. If I keep resting, i won't finish my game tho. Asking for advice

You should take a look at Veloren. It is an open-source project which was also inspired by Cube World and it is also written in Rust
Veloren is a really cool project!
It's always nice to see the progress you make on this project, big or small. Great video, already waiting for the next one 😲

You probably heard of this before. But there's a voxel game made entirely in rust called Veloren. Maybe you should check it out for some inspiration.

Man, your videos are so interesting and inspiring. Hopping on a flight and was excited to be able to watch this before boarding!
This is very impressive. One of my new favourite dev channels
Finaly a devlog again!!! Woho! thank you!
Amazing! keep up the great work dude!!!
Nice, was fun to watch as another rust dev
Hell yeah bro I'm making my own voxel game on unreal engine let me tell you it's hell fun exciting for a minute or two than absolute hell again
in the details. when you get stuck, roll back to the beginning and start over. The other weay is to focus entirely on one set of commands
LOking forward for the release! Good luck!
Eeehoo, how I love this (probably already a column) on the channel.
Just wanted to say thank you for doing this series; it's great!

Amazing as always! Awesome project, great video, ETCETERA!
I'm also making a voxel engine in Bevy?!?!?!? I knew there were others but holy cow...
Hey man thanks a lot. I was really overwheld and confused but now it all makes sense. Thank you.
It is hard to find a Bevy 0.8 tutorial, could you make one? :->
Art tip, don't use pure black for your occlusion! In the real world, shadows are often dark blue. Try it - it might look more colourful & less muddy 👍
tbh i would continue on the physics, they can be a pain in the ass, but cutting down a tree, and killing enemies with it uhh
9:37 i think you'd better write your own camera system instead
Dude, it's awesome to see your content thriving! Great stuff as always.

I use hacknplan.com
where I’d record one track of the soft and than use a second Edison to record scrubbing through the soft to mimic a wave table.
looking forward to learning from the rest of your videos. Subscribed!
So I went into soft soft and tried to intuitively grasp the basic fundantals. And now listening back I feel like I'm one step ahead of Nice tutorialm.

s and a couple EDM and Dubstep goals for myself, and I guess I better start learning sowhere. Thanks for the great vid!

Awesome, always fun to see your progress. I have a question - what program do you use to edit your videos on PopOS?
Highly likely it's Kdenlive or Davinci Resolve
question since you're developing on POPOS, but you're using DLLS internally will this game natively support linux still?
Something i've seen in a lot of voxel engines that i still dont get is, why do you only need top side bottom? what if there is a block in the air? do all other sides just get filled?
yes
What task/project management software do you use here 0:35 ?
6:43
Minecraft has auto-jump, but people often turn it off because it's annoying
What is that shading language?
recursive tan, inner tan function
real time dynamic baking into light maps instead of ambient occlusion
do you have only one computer

yo im always happy when I see one of these devlogs. Idk, you just make boring stuff interesting
hopefully, UA-cam is still around to help Nice tutorials upload "echo into eternity" XD
Wtf I did not make this comment
I have respect for people who doesn't use a game engine. It's a much more difficult and experience rich path
You should check out Veloren. Its open source, Rust based, and it's really good right now.
