So proud of my team - none of us can believe this is really happening. But the greatest thing about all of this is that we can continue to make games like this. Yes, they are risky and ambitious and stuff sometimes goes wrong but it’s what the studio was created for. Bg3’s reception shows there is room for this type of game. I hope we get many more like it.

I've been prototyping a compute shader debugger that runs entirely on the GPU. Means I can capture local variables from all the threads in a group, as well as support all wave operations etc. Tiles on the right show the per-thread values (colour coded by wave) (1/2)

@alexanderameye When you make these gifs, can you hold the last frame for a little longer? 😅

[Ben Mitchell @BenMitchellDev]

@alexanderameye Looks cool, great outlines of course from the master himself. Is this a gradual build up of a unity scene visualised?

[Ben Mitchell @BenMitchellDev]

@MaxPears That helps a lot thanks! Love the simple descriptions of weather and objectives get the right feel for the way the character will traverse the level

[Ben Mitchell @BenMitchellDev]

@MaxPears How do you start a level? Is there an initial description of the design/feel you're going for?

[Ben Mitchell @BenMitchellDev]

@SupergiantGames Literally every Supergiant game somehow has exactly perfect colours.

@geoffkeighley Fortnite is actually the Ready Player One game universe we always dreamed of?

Guess I can finally share this! A spider shader I made for Tomb Rainder Reloaded. It uses world position, sine waves and vertex colors to animate the spider, all done on the vertex shader. Those are projectiles so they had to be cheap and not skinned. #VFX #madewithunity

been working on an improved method for detecting navigation obstacles, think I'm onto something now!

this costs 1 raycast per frame and maintains a 'radar' around the boat that I can use to adjust steering on the fly

Came back to #GameDev this weekend with some friends to join the #GlobalGameJam2023

The theme was #Roots so we created this cute carrot wielding turnip that throws lotus shuriken's

@alexanderameye Looks great! What are you storing in the red buffer?

"Andrew the Sorcerer" has just cursed me to be destroyed by his poltergeist guardian... Because I sat in front of him in the bus.

Oddities aside though, he'd make an incredible Hollywood evil wizard voice actor.
