Looks like an amazing amount of programming and work has gone into this! Good job

The icons down the bottom look great too, the stats bars look a little bland though

Thankyou boot, The stats bars at the top left will have a make over soon. I was going to update both the stats bars and the icons down the bottom at the same time, since the icons down the bottom recently had a make over, but I haven’t thought of a nice way to put the 4 bars together, I have a couple ideas but haven’t picked one yet to implement at the moment.

Ive been playing around a bit with 3d in monogame.

Im curious how you are handling mesh ground collisions for your characters to get them stay on the ground with a non flat mesh

Also how are you handling collisions with other objects in your world (trees etc)?

Hello boot,

I’m using a heavily modified version of GitHub - forestrf/jitterphysics-1: A cross-platform, realtime physics engine for all .NET apps.
Its a c# physics library I was thinking of using Bepu Phsycis but instead I went with Jitter Physics I recommend you use either one as they are both really good.

Looking good mate.

I can see a lot of work has gone into it.

Are you drawing your ground mesh with draw instanced primitives? (Having the vertex array stored on the gpu)

If so do you keep a local copy in memory for mesh collisions?

Hey boot, sorry for the late reply.

I’m using storing chunks of terrain around the player and the chunks have their detail reduced based on how far they are from the player. so the chunk your standing on and every adjacent tile around the tile your standing on will initialize with every tile in the chunk, every tile further then the adjacent tile your standing on will only initialize every second tile and the lowest detail chunk (very far) will only initialize with every fourth tile.

A chunk consists of 50 by 50 tiles each tile is rendered by checking adjacent tile heights i’m rendering the chunk in a vertex buffer and drawing the chunk with UserIndexedPrimitives.
