Simulating an ENTIRE Ecosystem... | Devlog 4

I still can't believe how high quality your videos, like... You have edited around 5 vids and it's better edited than pepole with YEARS of experice

Im loving the game so far! Im getting more excited and impressed by each devlog (Seriously dude your videos are very high quality and very well made)

Just FYI you do not need a statically computed grid for A*. It's sufficient to have a function that takes a position and returns the list of adjacent positions. So you don't have to page anything in or out as you move around. The main things to worry about with a homegrown pathfinder are escaping a deep bucket-like shape where the unit has to move away from the target to make progress, avoiding runtime explosion due to retracing in mazes, and identifying that a location is unreachable without searching the entire world.

This is gonna be the best game every

Yo this is insane! It's so cool seeing you designing these animals, and then making them come to life

this looks really cool, I love the action tree stuff. Looking forward to seeing how you integrate that into the gameplay

He is back ❤I love your edeting style and how you explain your created game to us. Keep it up!

Just found out your channel and I m quite amazed by the quality of it all ! Cheers!

Loving your videos, looking forward to more!

This is so cool! I just finished binge watching all of the dev logs and I’m really excited for future updates. Also on an unrelated note, I finished my first game jam! Even though I was bad at it, I learned quite a lot. Like the fact I don’t know how to use if statements lol

Nah this is actually crazy you’re gonna go viral soon for sure

Every single feature I would add if I made a Unity game, you always add! I love how this game is turning out! It would be fun to see some sort of gameplay video or playable demo, when the game is in a playable state. (Or now, if it already is!)

Game is looking very cool to be honest, i think this could actually be a big one

I have been learning quite a lot from ur videos lately, from game dev to video editing, ur videos are helping me in everything i need for my own devlog videos. Awesome content!! 🙏

Wow. Dude, that thought bubble idea is genius honestly, it’s like having a live in-game error log.

You earned my subscription! Can't wait to play this game!

Cool video! I've been working on a similar project, although now it's on the back burner to a different project. Something I found that helped me with optimization: The logic of the creatures can be completely separated from the game objects. So technically, enemies are just classes with some values, and you can still simulate logic, hunger, interactions, etc without a game object. Now game objects are only used for the creatures within visual sight of the player. You could use object pooling to avoid instantiating lots of game objects all the time.

You‘re insane dude, keep it up 💪🏻

Nice to see the game evolve

Hey youre content is really fun and I was here with the first devlog so now Im on a quest to make your channel popular af so lets go
