Not a new demo

Not really anyway, but just figured I'd share what I've been playing around with the last few years, since it's been awhile since I last posted.
https://github.com/seishuku/vkEngine/releases

Controls:
Left mouse = look around
W/A/S/D = usual strafe moving
Q/E = roll
V/C = move up/down
Z = "explode" asteroid field
P = New random field and sky
Spacebar = Shoot
Escape = Quit



This will probably eventually become an actual game at some point, but it'll probably be awhile as there are a lot of bugs.

Also, before someone asks... Yes, it *does* have VR support, but I haven't tested it in awhile and HDR bloom isn't supported in VR mode yet.

Very cool. Awesome to see new stuff from you.

*late edit*
Also seems to run ok on my 7900 XTX, locked around 144fps... which is also my refresh rate. Crashes if I attempt to alt+enter into fullscreen... but it does seem to go 32:9 properly :D

Should run pretty well on anything modern, I usually top out at about 300FPS on my Ryzen 5800x and 1080Ti (as you can see in the screen shot)... About 100FPS on my laptop with Ryzen 5500u and 3050Ti, though it's pretty aweful on the Radeon iGPU.

I'll have to do some more testing with full screen switching, it's pretty neglected (even forgot to mention it lol)... Though it does work properly on my 1080, so I'll have to do some more testing on AMD side... Gives me an excuse to start up my second system with the old RX 480 in it.
 
Can't wait to see more, as I'm digging visuals and probably spent more time than I should admit just messing with blasting stuff around :lol:
 
Cool demo, working on my system, getting 146-178 fprs at 1080.
Wine v8.1
Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon. kernel 6.3
AMD 5900X, RTX 3090

Ah, that's good though! Kind of the goal is a fun casual game... Assuming it actually gets to that point. lol

The shooting sound caught me off guard.
Yeah, I was browsing freesound.org and came across those... Figured why not, it's a good placeholder SFX for shooting

Good to know it actually works with wine, never thought to test it on that... Though the code does build for native Linux. ;)
I usually test/build on WSL, even though it renders with the awful LLVM softpipe vulkan renderer, it's still easier than rebooting into Arch.
