If you are the creator of all this you can be proud of yourself. Most peoples don't realise all the work behind the gameplay, the difficulties with collisions, the camera, we could talk about it for a year. But, as a game creator by myself, I must give you greetings. Well done, for a first time that's impressive.
I'm making a game at the moment, its hard work to get all the algorithems working smoothly. All the math, its alot of work just to get the player to move in the direction your facing. I'm having trouble just to get textures to render, and how to deal with the very limited range of the camera in OpenGL.
How can yall not know it's from BG&E :O Everytime I hear this theme all my childhood memories hit me right in the face. By the way he didn't necessarily stole it. He has the right to use it in a presentation video and he credited it in the description.
Making a 3D game from scratch is a whole another level of craftmanship. Sure the game is very simple, but it makes sense as a whole and does not look just thrown together like a typical starter unity3d project. Very nice
That is not how theft works. Unless a creator of something explicitly says that something can be used with the requirement that credit is given, it is theft.
Nikhil Prasad The game you are mentioning also was developed by a team of professional game developers and also wasn't their first project, so NO SHIT ITS BETTER, that doesn't negate the fact that this game is pretty impressive for their first game.
+Nikhil Prasad How dare you saying it has been stolen ?! This man (or woman, I don't know) obviously has a passion for video games and is giving a tribute to Beyond Good and Evil, the "unknown" (it wasn't really successful for what he cost) real treasure in the video games history.
Yo man, don't know whether you read comments anymore but i wanted to say that i got my first job ever at 3d modelling. Had watched this trailer when i was 14 or so, one thing lead to another and i'm here now. Thank you for inspiring my young self.
Hey @aylaz, that's nice to hear! 😄 I'm very happy my work managed to inspire you in such a wonderful way. I have a lot of respect for 3d artists as their job is harder than most people realise. I wish you the best of luck in your career, thanks for coming back!
There have been many successful text-based games released over the years. Granted most of them are on outdated platforms. It doesn't mean that you can't start there. Even the greatest of programmers are sometimes humbled.
MasterLeoBlue not rlly. Think about all the maths you gotta do..you must be v good at maths to implement the physics engine (srry for my broken english)
I can already say you don't even know what you're saying. This is his FIRST game, first games always take the most time because while making the game you're learning whatever you do and encouter your first ever and probably the simplest bugs while your knowledge is at level 0. Sentences like "oof this game is simple probably took him like a week or some shit" should be deleted instantly because they don't serve any shit than just being dumbass. Well maybe it is simple for someone to do but now try to remind yourself how did you started with making games, literally the same.
Don't know why but I feel nostalgic when I watch this, Feels like a 3D game from back in the days. Nothing mean intended. All I can say is: I am intrigued! Good job, Mate!
I get this game is a simple design, but I have to congratulate you. For a first game, this is insanely impressive. The physics of the ball itself is impressive alone. Then on top of that, I find this to be quite original. I know there are plenty of "puzzle" games like this, but there;s something about this one that makes me think, "I'd actually play that". It's nothing too exciting, but if I had nothing else, I would not complain playing this. Even watching you play it, I was shouting "NOO, DON'T FALL!" Really good job!
Old comment, but if anyone is interested in learning OpenGL I really recommend learnopengl com. I'm currently following his tutorials and I can't believe they're all free.
Holy shit man, we started learning opengl this period and this is extremely nice. You've used everything we were thought and even put it together nicely so it's easy to understand. Definitely going to learn from this :D
Depends. If your job is to code a program like an OS than thats top of the class. But if your job is to code a 3d graphics program in an API then this is top of the class.
you can be very proud of yourself ! I'm currently learning to code, not even speaking about learning to build a game and it can be really hard sometimes, but having this as your first game: my deepest respect ! :)
The lava looks pretty static, you can learn GLSL and move to a more modern version of OpenGL at the same time (I believe you're using the fixed function pipeline)
coppyhop Yeah but it's mainly software acceleration, GLSL uses full hardware acceleration, hence why fixed pipeline can use double precision floats, but only GLSL >4.0 can use double precision floats Many old fixed pipeline functions such as glTranslatef, and also setting up matrices (glPushMatrix,glPopMatrix) and even glRectf are executed to the CPU, and then uploaded to the GPU, but on the other hand, in GLSL, everything such as gl_FragColor, gl_Position, and vbo data are all stored in video memory and executed on the GPU
Hello @OneGoldenCat, I was wondering if you could tell me how you learned to program and create your own 2D and 3D games. I especially like the the 2D game you posted a few years ago. You don't have to go to much into detail, I just want to know what books you used to learn or whatever. Thank you so much!
Pardonneur Silver I studied computer science in college. They teach you a lot of programming and algorithm design in there, and also a bit of computer graphics. However, the way I really learned how to develop video games was by doing little experiments by my own and consulting the different documentation pages of the libraries I used (OpenGL, GLUT, GLEW, Fmod, etc.). StackOverflow is also a good source for finding any kind of specific information.
All I can say is incredibly impressive; Before I started programing I probably wouldn't have thought too much of this, but after seeing the amount of effort that goes into things like this I'm very impressed. Keep up the awesome work my friend!!

Difficulty, how hard it is to pass it. Danger, how easy it is to die. Hole of no return is difficult, and dangerous. But without the lava its just difficult.
You could try using a heightmap - a greyscale image, like a top down view of the terrain, where the grey value corresponds to height (i.e white = 1 = max height and black = 0 = min height). Read in the image to an array, interpolate the values if necessary and use it to set the y values of vertices that make up the terrain plane. For a small terrain, you can do it in Photoshop or paint. not the most versatile way but one of the easiest!
Hello! OpenGL is a strict specification with implementations in symbol level done by video card driver manufacturers. Most likely the terrain was created using simple CPU height maps, but there is also a chance that it’s simply a model (it’s easier for a programmer to use a model)
@@analogfeelingshateswin32 It's just a misleading name. It's a specification managed by Khronos group. They don't write any code, they just specify what the correct inputs and outputs should be. The implementation is free to whoever writes the actual library (such as GLFW).
as a trained unreal engine specialist I can say, excellent manual work... always very nice to see projects created from absolute zero in pure code... the abstraction of engines nowadays ends up removing much of the fun created by "diy"
Some people will be like, game is very simple, low graphics, liquid simulation is so unreal, animation is not so fun, unenjoyable. Don't worry about the negative reviews, man. There are some people called programmers who know the struggle behind the game. Hatsoff man. Keep doing it. And to be honest I struck at Buffer Binding concept. :)
And I'm sure you will! Starting is a challenge, and a bit boring imho, but once you get the basics down it becomes fun and actually not that difficult.
Spent some time digging through your source code. Very tidy, easy to follow and pragmatic. I think you might like GLFW (openGLFrameWork) alot better than GLUT though. GLFW has out of the box cross platform input handling/timers and would quickly take the place of Corona and GLUT in your work. GLFW doesn't force you to use function callbacks and doesn't intrude too heavily into your project architecture. Definitely want to see more. Liked and subscribed :)
Hello, wonderful work! This kind of terrain in older computer games makes me miss late 90s/early 00s PC games. I'm reminded of the terrain in an MMOFPS I used to play called Neocron.
Exactly the graphics that i love, also i'm trying to learn opengl so i was searching for some people that made something with it to get myself more exited about opengl and i found your work! Nice work man, keep it up and please stay on this graphics system if you are thinking of making more stuff, there are some people that loves the classic graphics! 😊😊😍😍😍 Nostalgia.

I really like the design of "The Hole of No Return".
but there was a return
Chen Huang who gives more fps opengl or dx??
use opengl
It's like a whirl pool
the hole of minimal return
I feel nostalgic when watching this game graphics, it's like the games that I played in 2008. And the music is amazing!
The music is stolen staight from beyond good and evil ...

@@chebmaster1791 no opengl
exactly! it has a more "wow" factor to it
However he did not make it from scratch, he used OpenGL, making it from scratch is something else entirely
@@soupnoodles no make it with opengl is the same to make it from scratch
The music went great with the gameplay. Nice game idea too, the name of the levels were cool and unique.
Broughtvulture, music is copied from game called "Beyond Good and Evil". And this game is nothing compared to the game I mentioned

what is the difference between difficulty and danger
june Danger is the damage of touching the lava
Difficulty, how hard it is to pass it. Danger, how easy it is to die. Hole of no return is difficult, and dangerous. But without the lava its just difficult.
This is amazing..I am sure you've put in hell lot of hard work...its really amazing and inspiring for others too...
What program did you use to create the terrain? Some sort of 3d modelling software?
opengl is a library for graphics... and you can create terrains with opengl using the right coordonates but it's hard
You could try using a heightmap - a greyscale image, like a top down view of the terrain, where the grey value corresponds to height (i.e white = 1 = max height and black = 0 = min height). Read in the image to an array, interpolate the values if necessary and use it to set the y values of vertices that make up the terrain plane.
