@SebAaltonen We have this in our engine and used it on Claire de Lune all over the place (virtually all the terrain is done like this). This video is from about 8 years ago. Did blending in depth pass to avoid 2 lighting passes, composite on the gbuffer kind of like a decal. Performs great.

@Jonathan_Blow Our entire company is full remote, always seemed to work pretty well. Then again we've never been in person, I guess possible it could be better!

[Jesse Attard @JSAttard]

@FPSthetics I totally think you could build this

[Jesse Attard @JSAttard]

@tejasybhakta @ID_AA_Carmack @TimSweeneyEpic The engine we built that runs our game Killer Inn was made by two people. 🤷 Not that we're as famous as Tim and John but there are excellent programmers all over the place.

[Jesse Attard @JSAttard]

Great article! Thanks for trying out our game!

[IGN @IGN]

We went hands-on with the upcoming social deduction game and action RPG, Killer Inn, and came away very excited to betray all our friends.

Our preview: https://t.co/gLZSmC7D6B

[Jesse Attard @JSAttard]

Thanks for playing our game! Can't wait for you to try it again...

[Windows Central Gaming @WinC_Gaming]

I played Square Enix's upcoming multiplayer murder deduction game "Killer Inn", featuring innocent lambs and a vicious wolf.

Honestly, I can't wait until I can play it again.

This is Killer Inn, a 24-player multiplayer game from @SquareEnix where you compete in a game of life-or-death using social deduction skills to win. #SummerGameFest

@Jonathan_Blow I think useful as a replacement for googling especially for problems that are already well answered. If I ask it to do a line/line intersection test, it can handle that pretty easily. I was trying to get it to remember syntax for a natvis file and it couldn't handle it.

@ID_AA_Carmack @SebAaltonen @RonanMarchalot Ah I found a screenshot of a barrel!

[Jesse Attard @JSAttard]

@ID_AA_Carmack @SebAaltonen @RonanMarchalot We had a pretty nifty watercolor post effect we wrote back in 2012-ish using geometry shaders. Game never shipped though and didn't perform very well. Wish I still had a screenshot of that...

[Jesse Attard @JSAttard]

@ID_AA_Carmack I get terrible simulation sickness and have spent the better part of 30 years trying to find ways around it, and have incorporated improvements into our engine. Biggest improvements are: Including a crosshair, reducing screen size, widening FOV (85-90 hFOV), dropping FPS to 30.

@PersistentWorld Maya is the industry standard and the educational edition is free if you qualify. Not too difficult even for kids. Otherwise blender!

@foundmyfitness Amazing thumbnail for this topic lol

[Jesse Attard @JSAttard]

@simplex_fx Yes you could of course re-index all static entities to fit into a tighter range, clearly no one has billions of entities in a game. Just giving one example of why people use UUIDs at times as it can make some things easier. Can keep at 64 bit UUID if you're careful.

[Jesse Attard @JSAttard]

@simplex_fx and then << 24, etc. with only a little depth to how nested it is. And now you've run out of space really fast.

[Jesse Attard @JSAttard]

@simplex_fx So then you get sub-entities 1 + (1->5), 2 + (1->5) and you have collisions. So you might try to go, okay well prefab entities are 1 + ((1->5) << 8) or something to avoid collisions, but if your prefabs have prefabs inside them (they're nested), now those have to become << 16...

[Jesse Attard @JSAttard]

@simplex_fx I can't really see using a 32 or 64 bit integer as an ID causing perf problems in a game engine.

[Jesse Attard @JSAttard]

@simplex_fx store them in some other bit depth to avoid that, but if they're nested, depending on how deeply nested, you start running out of bit depth really fast. So you just use a UUID and then it all goes away. That's one reason people might use it. As far as perf is concerned,
