thoughts on this menu?
the planet is a bit boring but i'll spice that up with some atmospheric scattering and clouds and stuff at some point

flyke•1/12/23, 10:05 PM

A rotating planet with a layer of moving clouds will look great.

thrillis•1/12/23, 10:19 PM

Really small nit picks here, so much so the first I’m not sure if it is an artefact but the glow at the corners could be improved so it is uniform around the entire perimeter.

Build, space box & the menu items being at different horizontal alignments also irks me a little. Id take the menu being inset a little

AquaOP•1/12/23, 10:22 PM

the glow is the damn screenshot software inserting glow everywhere when I take screenshots
really annoying and I can't get rid of it

as for the menu inset
ultimately it's planned to have more buttons
but if tha isn't the case then yeah I planned to inset it a bit to fill more of the space

The planet is backwards

ThomasMiz•1/12/23, 10:26 PM

lol

ThomasMiz•1/12/23, 10:26 PM

It's pretty good, clean menu tho

AquaOP•1/12/23, 10:31 PM

oh yeah it is lmao
must have messed up the UV calculation in the sphere generator
either that or the texture I used is backwards which is also a possibility

AquaOP•1/12/23, 10:31 PM

but it's probably gonna be the former

flyke•1/12/23, 11:14 PM

I played almost all space sandboxes and simulators

Design is important, but if UI is clean and readable it's enough to make players happy, because you spend many hours in sandbox, and all that "beautiful" things only distracting.

AquaOP•1/12/23, 11:50 PM

welp, you are getting one more hopefully

... at some point
really focusing on this now
and i am not giving a shit about writing terrible code if need be which is why i've restarted this project 5 times cause i wasn't happy with the code
so screw that

AquaOP•1/12/23, 11:51 PM

however since ive done it so many times before it doesnt take me very long to implement the basic stuff which is good at least

Redhacker2•1/13/23, 12:14 AM

Hmm

Kai•1/13/23, 12:14 AM

I thought what KSP did with their menu was very smart

Kai•1/13/23, 12:14 AM

they have kerbals floating in front

KKai they have kerbals floating in front

Redhacker2•1/13/23, 12:15 AM

Sounds irritating

Kai•1/13/23, 12:15 AM

you could do similar with cubes or a small craft or whatever seems appropriate for your game

Redhacker2•1/13/23, 12:15 AM

Especially if They can block UI elements

Kai•1/13/23, 12:15 AM

Kai•1/13/23, 12:15 AM

this is what I mean

Redhacker2•1/13/23, 12:15 AM

Ahh

Kai•1/13/23, 12:16 AM

they are basically stationary iirc, maybe wobble a bit around

Kai•1/13/23, 12:16 AM

imo the menu to the side thing is very nice, but with just a planet it may end up too empty

Kai•1/13/23, 12:16 AM

so I thought this was clever

AquaOP•1/13/23, 12:17 AM

aaaa wtf whenever i think i've come up with a unique menu another space game has done it
my previous menu was a copy of space engineers and now my new one is a copy of KSP
lmao
idc
i like it so

AquaOP•1/13/23, 12:17 AM

mine was gonna be kinda similar with like flying ships and stuff going around the screen too

Kai•1/13/23, 12:17 AM

eeh it's just a menu

AquaOP•1/13/23, 12:17 AM

yea exactly

Kai•1/13/23, 12:17 AM

only so many ways to do it

Kai•1/13/23, 12:17 AM

I know a couple of games that look quite similar

AquaOP•1/13/23, 12:17 AM

a lot of games nowadays, being unique is quite hard

AquaOP•1/13/23, 12:18 AM

or do you mean menu

Hanprogramer•1/13/23, 1:06 AM

i always used minecraft main menu in all of my games :v

flyke•1/13/23, 1:13 AM

Look at small Unreal games - often they have exactly same main menu. People just use same free assets, no problem if it works.

Redhacker2•1/13/23, 1:35 AM

I like the HL2 or TF2 style menus

flyke•1/13/23, 4:12 AM

I tried to figure out how Stride devs draw Avalonia controlls in 3d view, even installed editor

.
And found that they do not draw any UI in 3d vew. All buttons on side border, not in 3d veiw. Problem solved - its impossible

RRedhacker2 I like the HL2 or TF2 style menus

Hanprogramer•1/13/23, 1:18 PM

isn't TF2 basically the same game as HL2 (the engine)?

Furball•1/13/23, 1:22 PM

The menus are completly different in both

Hanprogramer•1/13/23, 1:49 PM

aaaa

ZaBlazzingZephyrus•1/13/23, 3:15 PM

Hi guys!

ZaBlazzingZephyrus•1/13/23, 3:16 PM

Recently been searching for a good .NET/C# graphics library to use later for personal projects and decided to give Silk a try

ZaBlazzingZephyrus•1/13/23, 3:16 PM

Currently I don't have much time to try stuff out, but I'm still gonna stay here in case I have questions or just wanna chat. I hope that's fine by you?...

Lyris the Kitori•1/13/23, 5:56 PM

yea all good

flyke•1/13/23, 6:04 PM

I found tutorials about open GL, but they are for version 4.x. Are any serious differences for between 3.3 and 4 ?
All I read before were ancient content 10yrs old

Lyris the Kitori•1/13/23, 6:05 PM

nothing major most likely

Lyris the Kitori•1/13/23, 6:05 PM

depends on what the tutorial is about

flyke•1/13/23, 6:07 PM

The final article about rendering PBR Gltf model (quite modern content), so I was interested.

Fflyke I found tutorials about open GL, but they are for version 4.x. Are any serious d...

AquaOP•1/13/23, 6:16 PM

if you want the full list of differences look no further than the opengl version history wiki https://www.khronos.org/opengl/wiki/History_of_OpenGL#OpenGL_4.0_(2010)

flyke•1/13/23, 6:24 PM

Thanks

So with older version we cant make skyboxes? Cube map used for it, if I understand correctly.

Lyris the Kitori•1/13/23, 6:24 PM

cubemap != cubemap array

Lyris the Kitori•1/13/23, 6:24 PM

also you don't need cubemaps for skyboxes
