The OASE project page is up. It doesn’t contain much information yet, but I’ll try to add more info regarding the project, maybe even make it a bit of a devlog.

This month has been weird.

To start I did a little game jam challenge. I had a look at all previous Ludum Dares en picked the theme of the first one, gave myself a week to come up with an idea and creating a working prototype. To put it short, I’ve created a small little game in Unity, I’ll create a longer post about it some day.

Then something big happened; I became dad for the second time 🥰! As you can imagine taking care of the little girl takes up most of my time!

I did find some time to start rewriting the renderer of OASE, I should really create a project page for OASE and create more videos.

This is it for now, will write another post when the dust settles.

After taking a break from OASE (did I ever mention this project before?) to work on some other side projects, I wanted to work on it a bit.

Last time I worked on the engine the MacOS version had some depth rendering issues, so I decided to dive into the issue and fixed it pretty quickly. With the issue sorted out I decided it was time to do a bit of work on the main menu. Playing around with the stencil buffer to implement the dynamic background gave me the following result:

Not only the look of the menu is starting to look like the real deal, thanks to the great documentation on gtamods.com, I was also able to implement loading and saving of the gta_vc.set file and actually use the values stored in the file for the draw distance and language.

That’s it for now, I might post a bit more info about the OASE engine and the progress I’ve been making in the future.
