Weird Texture issue

Cocos

AUGUST 30, 2023

I have a 2d tiled game. On my latest game, I have a weird issue with texture and I have no idea why I have this ( I could only reproduce it once but players do find it from time to time). Suddenly, when the player plays, the screen goes all wrong as if all the textures were now corrupted. Here are some information.

Why is it that custom clothes are often just a bit… off? Like they fit just a little big on the character, or don’t quite fold or (procedurally) animate well, or they look too simply textured compared to their own game. Where’s this uncanniness come from?

FEBRUARY 20, 2024

Clothing in video games is nothing like clothing in reality. Video games don't have those kind of constraints - most of the time, clothing is either a texture painted onto a 3D model or it's a completely separate model with a separate set of textures that is swapped with the old parts of the body.

A podcast recently talked about how some games, like Contra Operation Galuga are struggling to run on Nintendo Switch, because they developed it for higher end systems(PS5, Xbox series, PC) first then port it to Nintendo Switch. They suggested it should have been done the other way around, so every platform has a version of the game that runs perfectly(barring AAA high quality titles like God of War and Spider-Man). How true is this?

Ask a Game Dev

FEBRUARY 29, 2024

However, the tradeoff is that the game would look like an upscaled version of a Switch game on the higher-end platforms. The source assets like animation rigging and motions, textures, character and environment models, and so on would be built at a lower fidelity. Take a look at that game and you'll see what I mean.
