Star Fox™ on Nintendo Switch 2 is developed in VIPER, our in-house game engine at Velan. It allowed us to bring Fox and his crew back in higher fidelity than ever before, with gameplay running at 60fps and all cinematics rendered in real-time.

@rfleury @ThePrimeagen We do the same for the disassembly for our custom scripting language to verify that new language features/bug fixes don’t inadvertently change code generation in unexpected ways.

Don't fear making a 2 week game. Those 8 months will be the most fulfilling 2 years of your life!

Whenever people ask about expected latency in multiplayer games I am often reminded of this awesome table from https://t.co/lyJkT8PJrQ which shows the impact of optical fiber, compared to a vacuum, on the speed of light. Last mile latency left as an exercise for the reader ;)

@cmuratori What are the chances we’ll see a conversation between Casey and Ivan some time soon?

"I conclude that there are two ways of constructing a
software design: One way is to make it so simple that
there are obviously no deficiencies and the other way is
to make it so complicated that there are no obvious
deficiencies." - C. A. R. Hoare

Jira CEO: “When we advertise I wish we could find something that represents a moderate impediment to progress with no true benefit but makes people feel better for some reason because it forces everyone to go slower.”

Jira CMO: “I’ve got you.”

@yamaheru @rfleury > I can't ship very fast and write performant code.

The trick is to _not_ write pessimized code, rather than write "optimzied code".

If you do, you can both "ship very fast" and have a fast running product.

@pikuma Somewhere around the turn of the millennium I went from being excited about seeing the capabilities of new software releases to having a sense of impending dread every time I hear the word "update".

@ThePrimeagen I've been a programmer for 41 years. I'm thinking when I hit 50 years, I'll finally know something.

@rfleury Haters will say it was the network.

If you’re in a meeting and people are arguing about how to do a small task, the best possible use of that time is almost always to just do the task.
