I asked Jerry about everything. Here is the interview:

https://blenderdumbass.org/articles/clarifying_costs_of_running_the_fediverse_with_jerry_from_infosec.exchange

I think he mentioned he run 3 96-core servers for that instance to be running. Or something.

Funny, I chose UPBGE for 4 reasons, non of which effect depsgraph much:

1. EEVEE
2. I know how to use Blender
3. The GPL License ( because I want my game to be GPL’d too )
4. I know how to use Python

So I never felt like I’m missing out on Geonodes or whatever. And depsgraph was only an interesting challenge to tackle.

The idea here, is that it is not a huge inconvenience for them to push just a little bit to become Free Software.

Dani’s Race version 07-07-24 is almost released! https://blenderdumbass.codeberg.page/files/DanisRace_07_07_24/

I made a very basic multiplayer support for this game. We tested it with a few friends. It is somewhat working.

Launcher and settings.

Working on new fire stuff.

Nothing too complicated, I just implemented a day-night cycle.

That is a neonspeedster with a spoiler.

New release 27-06-24

Changes:

Fixed Scene 2 ( almost )
Fixed Entering cars
Added back the Hatchback
Made cars more explosive
Added animations to Jack
Added Jump Animation to Dani
Fixed swimming

Added a settings system
Added a settings UI ( GTK )
Added a savings system
Made so it saves cars in garage.

I made it so it saves what cars you have in the garage.

The car is in the game.

I decided that this car will have a spare tire.

Making doors to some background NPC cars. ( That you can steal of course ).

There was a whole big problem with character trying to go into cars and no being able to do so. So I had to come up with some solution. This is so far the best I did. They are facing with the one side at the center of the obstacle ( sensed by the ray ) and walk forward.

Also I made passengers sit on a different side of the car ( available only for 2 cars atm )

And yeah, Jack has no animations yet.
