Creating a Time-Rewind System part 2

Posted by Matthias on

My new article is out! It continues the creation of a time-rewind-system. Part 1 is here.

Right now we record the positions and rotations of the player 50 times a second. This amount of data will quickly become untenable, and this will become especially noticeable with more complex game setups and mobile devices with less processing power.

But what we can do instead is only record 4 times a second and interpolate between those keyframes. That way we save 92% of the processing bandwidth, and get results that are indistinguishable from the 50-frame recordings, as they play out within fractions of a second.

Creating a Time-Rewind System

Posted by Matthias on

My new article is out! It about how to build a Prince-of-Persia Style Time-Rewind System.

Race-Ghosting is a technique where you race for the best time on an empty track. But at the same time, you race against a ghost, which is a ghostly, transparent car, which drives the exact way you raced before on your best attempt. You cannot collide with it, which means you can still concentrate on getting the best time.

This Berlin Mini Game Jam my friends Till, Nadine and me made Be Bruce Wayne, in about 8 hours.

You are Bruce Wayne, Billionaire Philathropist Playboy. People must not know you are Batman! Be as obnoxious as possible to throw them off.

You are faced with multiple scenarios, where you have multiple options to chose from. But if you mess up too often your secret may come out!
