@4MORI4N There are too many resources and "things" now. I wanna play the game but man I don't have time for that.

Related; I'd love for DE to make an actual paid Warframe game, with a plot and pacing, instead of being broken into small atomic pieces

I created a small tool to live code and visualize sample distributions

i left cs2 on by accident for 2 days while not home

this is what doing huge number math while using ffast-math looks like i guess

[Half-Life Alyx NoVR @HL_Alyx_NoVR]

Ted Backman reveals in dev commentary that the buggy’s model continued to lose parts of its body from previous beta versions to help with motion sickness

Playtests showed that the more of the world the player could see (like the ground underneath) the better it was for players

Used on the new Train remake in #cs2, these windows use the Transmissive Backface Ndotl feature in the Csgo_Complex shader. This allows lights to pass through the backfaces while also lighting up the glass mesh itself. Very neat trick!

Unfortunate life update:

I have been made redundant from my job at GameSpot.

So, after nearly a decade, I’m on the hunt for work! (hire me pls)

If you need a writer, host, producer, podcast guest or even someone to turn on your town’s Christmas lights, please let me know <3

Aha, realised a simple way of making a distance field texture of a 3d model in #Blender using Geometry Nodes.

[A Flock of Meese @meesedev]

I've been mostly working on the internal systems lately for my #Dreamcast engine. The PC port gave me the debugging tools I needed to improve complex systems like the memory manager.

• Audio is now working on the Dreamcast version
• The renderer runs 20% faster on the Dreamcast
• Heap allocation is 300% faster on average and 200% faster on worst case. While this had minimal impact on performance for the #Gamecube and PC versions, it was a significant bottleneck on the Dreamcast.
• Increased real-time heap defragmentation throughput by using a new multi-regional heap structure, which also sets the foundation for DRAM bank-aware memory allocation.

There's still plenty of room for more optimizations in Meese Engine. In fact, some optimizations found in Minecraft have yet to be implemented in this engine!

Was in the mood to recreate the Plane to Octahedron gif from shaderbit's octahedral-impostors unreal tutorial. Found projection #maths from wojtekpil @github which saved me tons of time. First step for imposters complete :)

💸 THE CRAB IS SEEKING TREASURE💸

So our funding plans for Game 3 fell through. I guess 2024 is really taking no prisoners 💀

But hey interest rates are down so if you represent an investor/publisher and want to help us make our best game yet, our DMs are open!

[polygoniq @polygoniq]

Is this explanation... (muted laughter) crystal clear?

#UE5 Recovering from Covid... AGAIN. Spent 1 week sleeping, pretty much 😡
Anyway... easing back into it. Still working on my volumetric clouds holy grail video. Did some more research, one thing led to another and I discovered sphere tracing 🤷I'm behind...
