10 Worst Video Game Glitches to Test Before Launching Your Next Game

iXie gaming

Character Clipping and Collision Glitches A video game entails characters interacting with each other. However, their interaction may be faulty, leading to objects or characters getting stuck in walls, terrains, or on each other. This ensures that all in-game assets, from textures to 3D models, render correctly.

Cylinder collision shape. One of the requirements was adding support for cylinder shapes in Godot's custom collision detection system. Technical details: Godot Physics is almost entirely based on the SAT algorithm for collision detection, but cylinders can't entirely rely on that. Heightmap collision shape.

Object Placement on Terrain (Mesh)

This chapter is all about how I solved it (so far) to be able to place all kinds of assets like 3D-meshes or self-growing fractal seeds on the terrain. Because the computer won’t render the next frame until all the needed calculations are done! Before we start. This struggle is visible for the player as a freezing screen.

Tiles editor progress report #3

Mircosoft Game Dev

Most of TileSet's systems (rendering, collisions, physics, navigation, …) are now using a concept of "layers" (this might be renamed). As an example, you could now define several PhysicsBodies per tile with different collision layers/masks. Terrains are the more powerful replacement of autotiles. Navigation.
