@CasualEffects Curious about where the largest bottlenecks were here? Were they technical issues or human ones like moderation and safety?

@HiveHome_IE Is registration for ireland broken?

@nafonsopt I agree. The ability to reliably diff and merge visual coding tools is often lacking or missing.

@kiaran_ritchie And restitution should always be 0.

The physics in The Dark Ages are absolutely amazing

Watch as these structures break down into tiny pieces that don’t despawn

[Dave Gargan @HavokDave]

Less friction, more momentum by changing the business model instead of simulation params. Can't wait to see what people build.

We are excited to announce a new pricing model that makes our industry leading technologies available to a broader range of studios!

The last few years have solidified what AI means in the tech world, so to avoid any confusion (no we're not creating an all-knowing simulation intelligence… yet) we've renamed Havok AI to Havok Navigation.
Same great games middleware, slightly less confusing name.

On the way home from GDC. My first since covid. So nourishing to see the dedication and passion from everyone despite tough times. Apologies if I didn't get to catch up with you despite my lame promises.

[Havok @HavokBuzz]

Today we're presenting a talk on what we learned integrating our Physics, Cloth, and Navigation middleware products into #UnrealEngine5 If you use UE5, are thinking of integrating your own tools, or just want to say hi, drop by Room 2009 at 11:30 #GDC2024 https://t.co/aGAsYDIpAq

[Havok @HavokBuzz]

We might have taken testing ragdolls with real world physics a bit too far this time.
But there’s always space for one last demo while packing for #GDC2024 !

[Havok @HavokBuzz]

#SuperMarioBrosWonder is a jump into the unexpected with Mario and friends, but you can expect great use of Havok Physics from the brilliant team at Nintendo.

GOLDMAN SACHS: WE EXPECT THE FED TO PAUSE AT ITS MARCH MEETING THIS WEEK BECAUSE OF STRESS IN THE BANKING SYSTEM.

@realBobbyHealy I hear you only deliver them in bundles of powers of two.

[Dave Gargan @HavokDave]

@PierreTerdiman Isn't that just a testament to the success of the middleware? How few pieces of software actually reach this stage - I think its super rare.

[Dave Gargan @HavokDave]

@ChrisGr93091552 How many concurrent players does that support?

[Dave Gargan @HavokDave]

@realBobbyHealy @MannaAero Co. Wicklow next pls!

[Dave Gargan @HavokDave]

@realBobbyHealy @MannaAero What influences the pattern? Assume delivers originate at the hub e.g. Shopping area but why are the paths not straight lines from there?

[Dave Gargan @HavokDave]

@paulhayesman Where?!
