Java 3D Game Development 43: World Editor

3D Opengl Game development log videos with commentary about my indie Java RPG game.

This week I started work on the world editor, as well finishing off the LOD editor tool.

The game is written in Java, and uses LWJGL and the Opengl API.

Music: Kevin MacLeod - "Wallpaper"

These never cease to amaze me, I love how dynamic it all is like when you moved the lamp. :D

[Zormion]

The editors are coming along nicely, can't wait to see them when they're done!

[itay]

This is amasing! Can't wait untill i would be able to use these dev kits/tools and play the game!

I like watching your tutorials and dev logs a lot and for your game would you be able to stream you programming and creating the 3d models and anything else you are doing with the game on a site like twitch. I think it would be cool to watch the behind the scenes of your game and we can interact with you while your doing it. Also help people out that wanna learn java game development by asking about why you did that. Just an idea i thought would be fun to do

This looks amazing! I am making my own 2D game engine in java and it is going great but your series gives me more ideas :)

How did you implement the terrain heights and textures? Did you use blendmaps and heightmaps? Please tell me if you used blend and heightmaps because I found it really difficult to make a different map for each terrain. Or is there any alternative method to do so?

[harleyracer]

Have you tried to put a button for randomly setting to y rotation when placing entity's and when you dup the texture for the grass and whatever else you dup try to make it rotate randomly as well to see if it makes it look better

How did you add the fish in the water? Is it a model, i.e. when you remove the water it will be swimming around in air?

[tomandhannah]

Can someone please point me in the right direction to make something like this? I've already got my own OpenGL Game Engine, I just Terrains but I need it so I can customise it and save and load in the game

[nathanmobed]

Where did you learn to code? How long did it take? Best way to learn?

[GieneqAD]

Hi, Im really impressed how your game is precisly done :D and I have two questions:
1. Do you load into GPU 10 models of the same object? How is it done, briefly?
2. How can i simplyfy some part of terrain which is one mesh 256^2, is there any real time method?

[Raketkalle]

I just wish I could be as good at java as you! 

[CRAZEERUSKEE]

Awesome! What will you be working on when you finish all the editors?

[josephsmith]

what do you use to save the entities? Like when you finish editing, how do you transfer the edited world to the game? I would like to know, because i'm making  a similar world editor but i cant figure out how to save the entities that are placed

[Thegenfy]

What do you thing of game maker studio? Personally I dislike it as you learn nothing of use.

[MrphilvideosArt]

I know you have tutorials, but is there a book I could purchase or sources that you used to learn Java and game programming?

[protowalker]

Hey, sorry to bother you, but how did you convert a vector2D to a vector3D?

[MohammedPlaysMC]

Hay mate havent spocken to you in a while i would usally comment on ur videos and tweet you but i dont have acces to a laptop in my house right now so hopefull when i get it i can get to work on ur tutials and tell yo how greate ur games is going i am trying this of my xbox so its a big doggy :D also great progress on the game cant wait to start haveing a go at these tools and maybe inmplementing my own things like a mini gitar i am going to start dewsigning becuase im learning guitar in shcool
