dropping some unsolicited opinions and shitpost.
currently working on a voxel engine.

Tinkering with a simple LOD algorithm that selects the most prevalent material at each #voxels level and propagates it upward. Have a look!

@Dispatch_Graph Surely a skill issue, but damm, it shouldn't be that way.

[marc0 @marc0_dev]

@Dispatch_Graph This omg. I cannot stand having an hazard of a cmake file when trying to make my game/engine run on multiple platforms. It feels so wrong.

I swear having a proper build system and dependency manager (think Rust, Golang, ...) would sign the end of _all_ "C++ killers".

@alz_zyd_ the nerds never have been that overpowered but ok.

@MrTeaThyme @JumpNJetz what about progression? inventory? social features? global leaderboards? etc

yes, if your game is just about playing matches without all of the modern surplus it's ok to have public registries, data isnt critical.

[marc0 @marc0_dev]

@MrTeaThyme @JumpNJetz it's definitely achievable, dont get me wrong. but it takes major considerations the studios just won bother allocating resources on.

i'm 100% with the stop killing games initiative. but it's not as easy as "give the server binaries to the people".

@tekbog the trap for instant graphics satisfaction is you have to put real effort to not look like any other ue slop game.

[marc0 @marc0_dev]

had some fun computing per-voxel normals as only using a neighbor test isn't enough on some cases, like planar alignment.

don't know if i should go down the GI or edition rabbit hole next.

@DanielLockyer in tech, we should promote more lazy people. they are try harders at coming with the simplest solutions to hard problems, simply because they don't want to implement or maintain big and complex systems.

the year of the linux desktop just got oneshotted by some Californian grandpas running windows.

@PhablixDev but that's the kind of details we love!

voxelizer is done!

here's the classic Sponza scene voxelized to about 37M voxels (~800k on screen).

ray marched in #bevy engine.

#rust

[marc0 @marc0_dev]

i cannot get any single mesh voxelizer (.vox converter) to work.

i guess i'll write my own.

[marc0 @marc0_dev]

@but0n0 pretty impressed by your posts! you got a follow from me!

i heard they're selling prompt engineering mentorships.

it's dead already. just ask it to help you make a plan.
