Real-time 3D Textured Raycaster Engine in Roblox | CanvasDraw Tech Demo #5

In this video, I will be showing off my custom raycaster engine running 60+ FPS at 240x240 flawlessly with a bit of overdrawing, distance fog, and a custom dithering effect, which the TH-cam video compression doesn't like.
The engine is now powered by CanvasDraw 4.0 which made this possible and will hopefully release within a couple of months.

Bro decided to make the game engine a game engine

[@DriftHyena]

Bruh the lighting in this looks better than Roblox’s implementation

[@nikonguyen4479]

this is so cool, hope I can make something as cool as this someday

[@jonac0426]

oh ok damn
talented
nice dithering too

[@chibisayori20]

Will you use that pixelated city background and maybe the map in some future project? I really want that in a playable game now

[@boomie1]

Bro this is crazy

[@Preinstallable]

Roblenstein 3-D

[@jtath120gaming]

I would love to know how this works to make a project with this.

[@elrioto]

insane

[@SmokytheUseless]

i really need to know how to make games like this with the engine

[@octolotl]

when can i buy (i do not care if it 2k or smth, i brought moon animator 2 at 1500 and this looks hella cool)

[@Ethanthegrand]

This game engine it self is currently not for sale, but if you want the module that allowed me to the draw pixels like this in real-time, it is free and can be found here:
devforum.roblox.com/t/1624633

[@byngerull6861]

How do you apply a canvas image to all parts and how do you determine at which desk to place a certain image on (smth like tag editor or smth else)? That looks fire, keep going!

[@Ethanthegrand]

This doesn’t use parts, viewport frames or anything like tbat at all. It’s using EditableImage and math and custom 2d grid raycasts for projection. This is running under my custom pixel game engine module I made.

[@byngerull6861]

Ok, thanks for the reply

[@kurtziru4471]

hello this is poggers will you sell early access builds of this! can pay big money!!

[@thegoofypowerfull1]

cool

[@tyrant8093]

whats your current projects and whats will be future for after 3 am also are you planning to make any discord server?

[@Ethanthegrand]

After 3 AM is paused, and also the only discord server I have atm is The Powder Box Community server. It’s listed on my game page

[@Domeyto]

are you still doing tycoon game because your games looks good af

[@Ethanthegrand]

I’ll probably start work on the tycoon game again soon. I didn’t have a computer that could handle proper game development until recently

[@oof2568]

Room 2 normality on robloxia

[@microwavemicofficial]

how would we project models with this?

[@Ethanthegrand]

You cant. It can only project a top-down 2D grid

[@microwavemicofficial]

ah.@@Ethanthegrand

[@sickIy]

How i can make it render a game?

[@Ethanthegrand]

Raycaster engines cant render a roblox game. A simple raycaster, like this one, can only render a top down 2D map with blocks in a grid. Raytracers on the other hand, can easily render a roblox scene. It is just farr slower and cant really be done in real time

[@chibisayori20]

@@Ethanthegrand I mean one can still create levels with this they just have to be PURE data and considering we now have UnreliableRemoteEvents, one could even add multiplayer (altrough server would only relay stuff to other clients as the server has no concept of GUI)
Sure most gameplay logic has to be done on the client, which means less secure BUT you can still have the server do stuff like manage datastores and things like that.
When you force the gravity to 0, you essentially disable default physics (and if you don't have a character loaded, essentially no physics) done on Roblox part

[@point0947]

When will DOOM be recreated fr

[@Ethanthegrand]

Pretty soon I’d say
