Definitely coming back here when I unlock bombs.

I saw a squirrel roll in the dirt and then sploot yesterday

I updated Ludwig! with Bullet Vision!™ This feature makes it possible to react to threats better, which makes the game feel more exciting to play! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #furry #furryart

This was the first thing I made for my project too lol

Here's how it turned out! Thanks for the help!

…so when I applied it to the stencil, the whole stencil was masked, so all the projectiles passed the stencil test! Setting up the alpha test effect with an identity matrix fixed the problem!

The other big issue was that I was not utilizing the AlphaTestEffect. My thought was, “eh let’s just get a square mask around the player working first, then we’ll refine it with the alpha test.” But that wasn’t going to work, because the player mask is a render target that spans the whole screen…

Thank you so much! I see where I was going wrong now. My assumption was that there was a sort of ubiquitous stencil buffer, that I initialized through the graphics device constructor. I see now that it’s actually something I can enable on a render target!

😭

You know the last Superman movie was good because there are two separate squirrel scenes. #sqrlpix

Furthermore, it seems like I can’t get the stencil test to fail at all. The red bullet always renders 🤔

I have no idea what I’m missing!

Arggggg I’m trying to get stencil buffers to work in Monogame - I want to see of I can render certain sprites like bullets with a red overlay if it’s behind the player but it’s not working right now :(

I did it!!!!! This feels like a new super power. I'm definitely happy that I took the time to learn it.

I found that there’s a project template from Jetbrains for Roslyn analyzers! That’s been helpful to say the least. It’s great to have something to properly study now.

...and just creates source files for the game project, using the reflection techniques I already know, would be easier than figuring out Roslyn stuff 😭

I had absolutely no luck today trying to create an incremental source generator - I'm trying to pivot away from using reflection so that I can take advantage of AOT compiler optimizations, but my goodness, at this point, I feel like creating another project that references my game...

Here’s the fursuit vid on its own :)
