Nice. :)

OMG, like a mouth ago I discovered your channel and I was very sad that your last was upload 2 years. I am very excited about your return to KZfaq. Good Luck

Really glad you are back, your videos are amazing! One question, did you delete some old videos? I thought you had videos about Hotline Miami or am I wrong?

Yeeees! Keep it up!

Glad to see you're back! I found your channel not long ago and watched a bunch of videos, then got sad when I saw you hadn't uploaded in a while. If you're looking for video ideas, one thing I think might be cool is how a game's save system works. I'm thinking of games like Minecraft, Elder Scrolls, or Breath of the Wild where it has to remember changes you make to the world and world objects in an efficient way, and even choose when to "forget" something (like blood moons)

That's definitely intentional. If it's not then my right foot can run for president :D

@@GraySlicerAnimations Funnily enough: it wasn't intentional initially, but during editing it accidentally lined up like this so I decided to double down and exaggerate it a bit!

@@GraySlicerAnimations Sooo… Left foot for president?

@@DigiDigger Well I'm glad you did because the result was funny. Also, I'm glad to see that you're back. I found your channel and was thinking to myself: "It's a shame he doesn't made videos anymore..." Then a little bit after that I saw your post and comments saying that you were back! Keep up the great work! :D

@Almost blank If you have to do it often then try building a flexible system for it. At least that's how I like to work, every task that I have to do multiple times I try to automate

@@dercoder015 The problem with that is that, as far as I know, every part of a game made for a jam has to be made during the timeframe of when the jam is going on. So, doing that would be considered cheating.

@@roshibomb4247 I've not done a game jam but some hackathons, surely external libraries are usable right? Not coding game engines from scratch in a weekend I expect. Make a system and open source it so you can use it at the next one should be within the spirit and the rules of a game jam (I think, obviously check the specifics of your event).

@@Athaman136 I've never done one either; my coding experience boils down to a few Scratch games, haha. But from the many videos I've seen on it, it looks like you *do* have to build the entire game from the ground up. The only allowed prebuilt things I know are things like unity and whatnot. I personally also feel like creating something before the jam, while convenient, goes against the very core of the idea of a game jam. The whole point is to create an entire game based around an idea within a set time frame. Having prebuilt tools (by yourself no less) to speed it up feels a bit odd to me. But that's just my two cents. Maybe I have my whole thinking backwards, lol

@@roshibomb4247 quite a few gamejams allow libraries, if you have a bunch of generic functions that you use often, having them handy is probably a good idea. the rules often are similar to: Use any tools, engines, frameworks or libraries that you own or have licensed. You are free to use any assets or content that you own or have licensed. in theory, if you have a game that fits the theme, you could use it, but you'll probably still need to make quite a few adjustments, and probably make art for it.

Usually something like system time and other easily accesible data that is somewhat random. I think some games used mouse position, but that one is probably not a good choice.

nah the seed isn't generated with random number generator, the seed is the current system time

@@spyrex3988 no, the seed is generated by a random seed generator.

@@vlusky_husky You might be messing up the terminology a little. Only initializing a rng is called seeding. After that typically the previous result acts as the next "seed" equivalent, but it's afaik not usually called that. In most implementations i know of (basically everything except retro console) as soon as the generator is initialized all future outputs are already fixed. The function is just spitting the next number in line to you. In other words, seeds are your input, they aren't generated. Sometimes if you don't specify system time is used, but regardless of whether you do it manually or not you only seed once.

@@randomnobody660 Calm the heck down, im making a joke.

@@chopholtz4950 NMS also saves changes to the terrain, just some larger updates in the past might have broken it I guess

*_Catches Necronomicon and stores it_ Hey dude, we might need that again somewhere else, don't lose it!

@xd ZwanzwaN You're fun at parties.

@@marcoshalberstadt7646 we need to use it again

Be warned, this is a very misleading video -- he really tells very little, and a lot of it is opinion and misdefinition of terms. If this really interests you, you might need to read a book about it and start experimenting on your own. I doubt you'll find one of those "mundane tutorials" on this subject; procedural content is too much of an art to make a cookbook tutorial on.

@@BlackJar72 why's that? Can you point out for me one the misleading and wrong things he said in the video? I know nothing about this subject and I'm genuinely curious. I will study it more on my own so I can truly learn how this works

@@BlackJar72 8 months later and still no reply as to what was wrong with the video. Just vague statements dismissing the content when what is described seems reasonable and I'm not sure why it wouldn't work.

@@foobars3816 one thing maybe, he mainly used time to change the image of perlin noise so unless your redrawing every frame you would use one seed but never update the noise its very costly

My main point is the fact that perlin nosie is loaded once not at depth of point traveled

Got it recommended to me, thanks ;)

Recommended

Just got recommended

Same, I discovered it some days age. Seems to be the peefect time considering the reboot of this chanel.

You should use Simplex noise and not Perlin noise, due to Perlin having visible grid artifacts. I wish the video creator would have covered this better. The cave generator explanation isn't entirely correct either. But some of the other info is good! Search OpenSimplex2 to find a noise implementation I've put together, where you should have fewer issues using the 3D noise for any purpose you like, compared to others which use the original algorithm. Otherwise, there are lots of options out there, especially if you just need 2D noise.

@@fibre0690 I totally agree with that, but it just really annoyed me when people are saying he shouldn't make videos if he will spread misinformation. Obviously this needs improvement; it's his third video in this style. It's definitely not the best on KZfaq, but I think a lot of people need to realise, this is just a dude making videos, not some master out there with the intention of informing experienced programmers on complex topics, he's just making what he wants to make. I'm not really arguing with you, just getting a little annoyed over the comments on the previous video lol
