I'm excited that we're finally announcing SP's new game, Ghost of Yotei.

Love working with such a talented team. Let's gooooo!

@engineering_bae Just be careful about the noise cancelling! It's good enough that my wife has gotten annoyed with me because I can't hear ANYTHING. 😅

Off to Siggraph! 😃

@antonalog @msinilo @9eronimo @longbool In our cases everything was in local memory. C runtime qsort was larger because it had to handle arbitrary calling convention and item size.

[Adrian Bentley @adrianb3000]

@bgolus @arcahyadi Not secret at all, just doesn't make sense to talk about stuff until we've shipped it. Ghost still uses the same tech, extended for other purposes (leaves landing on ground, flowing with rivers, animated meshes). See https://t.co/C4DhRxcOsK for some Ghost info.

[Adrian Bentley @adrianb3000]

@ImpossibleScott It's only one draw, but we still ran a compiled emit & update compute shader per emitter. There were tons of functions used on each (splines, meshes, math, noise fields, etc.). Sort+one draw avoids breaking light/shadowing with wrong draw order.

TLDR, Bill's talk is great. 🤩

[Adrian Bentley @adrianb3000]

@SebAaltonen We tried something like this for Ghost, but IIRC could not solve light leaking sufficiently for super thin walls with complex topology. Would be curious if anyone shipped something.

@tom_forsyth @ChristerEricson Mwahaahahah

[Adrian Bentley @adrianb3000]

@kenpex Yes let's! 😀

@Peter_shirley I started using a 40" 4k tv (no scaling) long ago and cannot go back. Hotkey quad pinning (win+arrow) in Win10 helps a bunch.

@Bobby_Anguelov Welcome to the 1 fraught week a year. 😄

[Adrian Bentley @adrianb3000]

@imo_drew Apple pie all the way :D

[Adrian Bentley @adrianb3000]

@kamidphish I've got a fever...

[Adrian Bentley @adrianb3000]

@ChristerEricson @MyNameIsMJP @FilmicWorlds @aras_p At SP we submit Maya export files (custom format) to perforce. Works ok.

@engineering_bae "There can be only one."

@rygorous @Atrix256 This year less acreage has burned in fact, it's just much more noticable on the west side. I cannot wait for Friday's promised rain.

[Adrian Bentley @adrianb3000]

@ericwoh @bruceoberg Extremely good shoelace technology?

[Adrian Bentley @adrianb3000]

@kenpex In the past I felt like he got a raw deal on perception a bit, but jfc the constant barrage of FU PR disasters has worn me down.

[Adrian Bentley @adrianb3000]

@SebAaltonen Yes. Enum table all the things.
