raytracing progress #3
the demo is complete as i fixed the bug that prevented shadows from forming!

What's next? tackle more graphic demos to learn more, obviously!

[fautore @ilfautore]

@SteamFrameOut Obviously they'll re-release the same games "remastered" at full price so you can enjoy the game you already own on the ps7

[GOG.COM @GOGcom]

Even if a game vanishes from the GOG storefront, it never leaves your library.

Exactly as digital ownership ought to be.

Autodesk’s fine has bankrupted our small studio.

A few months ago, we made a serious mistake - we bought a Maya license from a fraudulent third-party seller. Autodesk hit us with a massive fine, far larger than the original error. Even after we explained our situation as a two-person indie team, they still enforced it in full.

This has been incredibly tough and made us question everything. But after 7 years of hard work, we’re not ready to give up!

To keep our studio going and fund the next game, we’re running our biggest discount ever: 87% off Wigmund.

If you’ve wishlisted us, enjoyed our unique mouse-as-sword combat, or want to support a passionate two-person indie team, your help right now would mean the world to us.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI.

We have a team of 72 artists of which 23 are concept artists and we are hiring more. The art they create is original and I’m very proud of what they do.

I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art. The artists do that. And they are indeed world class artists.

We use AI tools to explore references, just like we use google and art books. At the very early ideation stages we use it as a rough outline for composition which we replace with original concept art. There is no comparison.

I talked about how we use ML here if you would like to know more:

We've hired creatives for their talent, not for their ability to do what a machine suggests, but they can experiment with these tools to make their lives easier.

[Valephore 🌙♦️ @ValephoreVT]

Concept Artist here, the "AI hate" directed at Larian Studio is 100% ignorant and bad faith virtue-signaling.

Artists are NOT against AI usage as a tool, we're against Generative AI that was trained on real artworks and mass-produced "slops" that imitated our hard work and then marketed as our replacement.

In pre-production, the art team would grab random pics off the internet and other games to create a general mood board for aesthetics and "vibe" that fit the art direction (There are more nuances than this, I'm describing this in the most simplified way possible)

A mood board of a character may include several pictures of other videogames or anime shows, dozens of object with "texture references" for parts of their attire, multiple reference pictures of relevant objects such as animals or historical weapons or even other character artwork made for other games; ALL of which are randomly drawn from the internet and put together for the purpose of creating an overall aesthetic for a design that will become original in its own way inspired by its references and the artist's own creativity and originality to visualize it when they create the design by doing ART.

Larian Studio mentioned using AI to streamline this process; an actively menial labor of "looking for relavant and cool pics on the internet" in essence.

There is zero reason why AI speeding up this process is a bad thing; it is essentially the same as someone asking Grok for facts they could have spent a few hours reading through Wikipedia pages.

None of the pictures grabbed by either the AI or the art team in this process are being exploited for any monetary gain since they're simply inspiration and visual direction, this has been standard practice in the industry for decades.

8 million to build a file explorer, I've got a bad feeling bout this

[Abhay Agarwal @Denizen_Kane]

For 40 years the file browser hasn’t changed.

Today, we’re launching with $8 million in seed funding to rebuild the file browser into something more intelligent, searchable, and delightful.

The world is in the middle of a data explosion. We’re generating and using more files than ever, but the apps we’re using to manage our files don’t even understand them.

It’s time for file browsers to become useful. When you search for “dog”, it should show you content with dogs in it, not just files with “dog” in the name! When you want to edit, convert, summarize, or organize a file, your browser should do that, too.

Your files tell the story of your life, but when you need a specific one, you usually can’t even find it anymore. Why can’t your file browser find it for you, or cross-reference it when you have a question? Prompting can give an LLM a million tokens of context. With Poly, you can give it the next trillion.

As long as we can afford it, all new users receive 100GB of free cloud storage. We can’t wait for you to try it out!

September, 26: Cloudflare rewritten in “memory safe” Rust.

The change is touted as “faster and more secure” because of Rust.

https://t.co/JqtUziMGpU

November, 18 (53 days later): Cloudflare has a massive outage, which took down large portions of the Internet, because of a memory error… in that Rust code.
