🐦‍⬛I love making games, but there are others who seem to enjoy cancelling them more. So, I’ve decided to take a break and share my knowledge with people who truly care and love what they do.

Welcome to🖤 EmberShade🖤, my independent lighting art creative agency.

[John Romero 🤘🏽 @romero]

10 years! Thanks to every single member of the team for making this possible. (Join us: https://t.co/iXvlfuvvD3)

I think this is something a lot of programmers struggle with - "I need to know & understand it all, but there isn't enough time" - I know I have. This is great advice.

[Kostas Anagnostou @KostasAAA]

How to keep up with the state of the art in rendering is a common theme in the DMs I receive. Conferences, books, blog posts all available at a click of a link, we live in a golden age of (graphics) knowledge sharing. This also makes it overwhelming and hard to keep up. 1/4

"Practical Optimization" by @slipster216 is most excellent. Unlike synthetic/toy examples that have been making rounds lately, this has examples from *real actual* products. https://t.co/EKCccprLPQ

@Donzanoid @SeamusBlackley @fatlimey Must be pretty exciting to pull you out of solo mode... looking forward to hearing more, good luck!

[Keith O'Conor @keithoconor]

@mmalex When I sit down at my computer only to realize it didn't actually shut down the previous day, it's almost always because of this.

[Keith O'Conor @keithoconor]

@molecularmusing @liveplusplus Great to hear!

[Keith O'Conor @keithoconor]

@stevestreeting @JetBrainsRider I believe there's an option somewhere to install it in either the game or the engine

[Keith O'Conor @keithoconor]

That early sequence where Jin gallops through the meadow and reaches down to run his hands through the tall grass and the title comes up - goosebumps!

[Keith O'Conor @keithoconor]

I'm very late to the party, but what a beautiful game Ghost of Tsushima is! Just gorgeous environments, animations, lighting... I'm really enjoying it.

[Keith O'Conor @keithoconor]

@Dom3D @tomwillfixit What did you end up doing? Just sticking with Jira?

[George Broussard @georgebsocial]

My short sci-fi adv game, "Stowaway" is free, has amazing voice acting (Travis Baldree) & you can play it in a browser (or download). Try it and gimme feedback and maybe I make more? ;) #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev #madewithunity #adventuregames

@LeeCash @dylancuthbert I ended up just making a new account when I moved back to Ireland because it was too awkward otherwise. Ridiculous!

[Keith O'Conor @keithoconor]

Very much looking forward to Develop, it'll be my first in-person conference in a while (and my first time at Develop).

If you're going to be there and want to meet up, let me know!

[Brenda L Romero @br]

Yes! So excited to be at Develop: Brighton this year! It feels like forever since I've been at an actual conference. HMU if you want to meet with me,
@romero or @keithoconor.

Spoiler alert: my hair is now brown.
