Celeste VS AmnesiaTheDarkDescent

Aha, found it! They opened sourced the C# version https://github.com/NoelFB/Celeste/tree/master/Source/PICO-8

forget TDD when you make a game, you want fast iteration time at all cost, gameplay is king, if you can't nail it fast enough, you'll make a bad game that is not fun

it's all about the feeling

Celeste's player class: https://github.com/NoelFB/Celeste/blob/master/Source/Player/...

https://store.steampowered.com/app/504230/Celeste/

check this out! both the readme and maddy's article that's linked towards the bottom, as well as the player.cs source code that is included. might be some decent resources

Keep in mind, the Celeste player controller is one single file of 5400+ lines of code.

So Celeste devs are shit at planning and have very poor code https://github.com/NoelFB/Celeste/blob/master/Source/Player/Player.cs

Celeste's source code is available in github :D https://github.com/NoelFB/Celeste It's a LOT of code, but some stuff in there helped me out creating momentum mechanics for a project recently.

Look at Celeste's Player.cs. Incredible games can (and often do) ship with messy code. Also read the readme where they discuss how they both agree and disagrees with criticism their massive file's received (look up the thread in this sub for a lot of it).

They dropped the controller script for Celeste. 5400 lines of tuning and refining to get everything right. https://github.com/NoelFB/Celeste

There's actually a README now, that does say it's probably messier than it should be and includes more cutscene logic than it should.

Looks like the source code is publicly available: https://github.com/FrictionalGames/AmnesiaTheDarkDescent and the Sclerosis (this port) developers are preventing the game from being distributed anywhere: https://createam.itch.io/sclerosis " P.S.: Frictional Games prohibited anywhere to distribute my remake, so I'm posting the full version for free without any restrictions on my itch.io in the hope that soon the game will appear on all kinds of forums and sites, after which I will probably hide the game from there. Version v1.7 will remain the final version for Sclerosis: The Dark Descent. "

This curiosity grew even more when I downloaded Amnesia source code and saw in there LOTS of Pointers, but I have no idea what I'm looking at (just yet, I hope).

Here is the source code to amnesia the dark descent https://github.com/FrictionalGames/AmnesiaTheDarkDescent crazy how that exists when you say it can't exist

The game engine that runs Amnesia was written by 2 guys, uses OpenGL (which is a hell to begin with, especially on different hardware) and does use some quite advanced shading stuff for its low complexity. They released the code btw. if anyone is interested.

As for Amnesia it's a similar story; They're using their own in-house engine which does itself use SDL. FrictionalGames recently open sourced Amnesia so you can take a look if you wish: https://github.com/FrictionalGames/AmnesiaTheDarkDescent

Project is seemingly dead with the latest commit being from 2018.

Two major games with code on github I can think of are Amnesia: The Dark Descent (1) and Celeste (2)
