Dani's Race and notgit.py ( Updater )

Blender DumbassNot so long ago I decided to forgo the wisdom of using
git for this game. Instead, most changes will be recorded via the notgit.py program I wrote for fun the other day.
Have I given up on Dani's Race?
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/danisrace_fail.png)
Blender DumbassDani's Race development has been halted. The last changes to the project I've done maybe more than 6 months ago. The game still contains a lot of bugs and only 3 story missions. And it still runs like ass, averaging 20 fps on average laptops.

PeerTube | Making Addon Karts for SuperTuxKart

Blender DumbassAs you probably have guessed by my username, I know Blender. And I also know how to make SuperTuxKart addons. So I decided to make a Fedi-based series of tutorials explaining how I go from zero to a finished addon. This first part focuses on Karts ( since they are a bit simpler).
Is Blender's DOGWALK Even Libre?
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/dogwalk.png)
Blender DumbassIt seems like the project is meant to show that they understand the frustrations of people who didn't understand where the Game Engine was gone. And in the same time, to develop / polish Blender in regards to game development.
The question stands though: Is DOGWALK even Libre?
PeerTube | Optimization Nightmare when it comes to UPBGE Gamedev | Dani's Race | Blender 3D | Python
![[thumbnail]](https://peer.madiator.cloud/lazy-static/thumbnails/663d6dec-4e70-4e78-b513-a8f29526964e.jpg)
Blender DumbassWorking to make a game which is very hard to optimize a bit more respectable when it comes to performance. Which is easier said than done. This video is a journey of pain that is optimization in UPBGE ( the game engine chosen for Dani's Race ).
Featuring a new soundtracks for Dani's Race called "Light Driving" ( and another one with no proper title yet ) done using soundfont "Touhou" cc-by by Team Shanghai Alice. The tracks themselves are CC-BY-SA and for now a test version of them are available on my mastodon.
The video includes ( at 01:18:53 ) a section from the livestream of LogalDeveloper that happened on his Owncast on 02/05/2025.

Path Finding in UPBGE for Dani's Race
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/danisrace_pathfinder.png)
Blender DumbassPaps needs to walk from his room to a car, wait for you, the player to sit with him into said car, and then drive you across a town to a completely different location. Seamlessly.
Story Without Cutscenes in Dani's Race
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/story_danisRace.png)
Blender DumbassThe challenge for Dani's Race is deliberately not to be a movie. As in the game should not have cuts, nor there ever should be a moment when the player loses control over the character. Yet through all those limitations I want to continue a story I started in an actual movie. Which is kind of complicated.
Making Breakable Cars in Video Games
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/how_to_broken_cars.png)
Blender DumbassWe all love some mayhem when it comes to playing games. And nothing makes car games more satisfying than damage models. RockStar Games understood it early on, and all GTA games have breakable cars. Today some of the most popular car games like BeamNG.drive holding on a realism of damage models almost solely. And therefor for me, making Dani's Race any other way, would have not been a good idea. I knew I had to make the cars in my game breakable.
