Tools and Libraries for Game Engine Dev

In this video, I share tools & libraries you may want to use to interface with your game engine.

I talk about tools popular among game developers to design 3D game characters, sprites, and fonts. I also share two libraries that you can use to extract the data from these tools.

Finally, I also share two additional tools that I have found very useful. One of them generates normal maps, occlusion maps, and displacement maps. The other tool will reduce your png files significantly.

Enjoy.

Implementing the A* algorithm

Hi guys,

Just sharing my latest live stream where I talk about the progress of my game engine, Untold Engine. I talked about the A* algorithm, navigation mesh (navmesh), and how I implemented the algorithm and the data from the navmesh to find the optimal path a character can take to reach a target. I hope you find it useful and hopefully interesting.

Here is the full live stream:

Implementing the AI Collision Avoidance Behavior

Hi guys,

This is my latest live stream. I shared how I implemented an AI Collision Avoidance Steering Behavior in the game engine. I also shared my thoughts on why I recommend Game Engine Developers to take some time to learn tools such as Blender 3D. I hope you find it useful.

Here is the full live stream.

FYI. I failed to properly explain how the Boundary Volume Hierarchy works (min 10). Here is a link to the correct explanation: Visualizing the Boundary Volume Hierarchy
