@_kelindi lol this one cuts my soul

@rompa69 Lowest common denominator between my iPhone and 45” desktop monitor 😝

[Phil Brown @tallPhilb]

@rompa69 I relate to this my old friend 😂 old tech being rediscovered by new generation

[Phil Brown @tallPhilb]

@SebAaltonen Aren’t they stack / bucket allocated by default now anyway? 🤷‍♂️

[Phil Brown @tallPhilb]

Ok block man has a ray gun! Threw skinning and some basic IK so hands grab the gun. It's quite a mess still, but might have potential in an "abstract" kind of way 💭

[Phil Brown @tallPhilb]

Toying with the look in my GI ray tracer, my engineering brain wants to streamline everything and even make characters out of brushes 🤔

I wonder if this can work 🔥

[Phil Brown @tallPhilb]

@GlvGalv Very cool!

[Phil Brown @tallPhilb]

Adding dynamic lights to my GI ray tracer, very cool to see the indirect reacting instantly. I also learned that ray traced shadows solves SO many pain-in-the-ass things that shadow maps have to deal with 🧠

[Phil Brown @tallPhilb]

@SquareGlade lol do you know what happened?!

[Phil Brown @tallPhilb]

Been fiddling with a global illumination (GI) renderer over the break. It's running at ~200 fps with 32 rays per pixel via OpenGL on my macbook, computers are fast! 😮

[Phil Brown @tallPhilb]

@ItsPolyCube Woa this is tight nice work!

[Phil Brown @tallPhilb]

Slowly getting somewhere with Reflex MM, UI design it tricky. Going for minimalist yet clean look.

[Phil Brown @tallPhilb]

@SuperMegaTeam Looks great! The writing (glpyhs?) on the roads are great too, nice job!

[Phil Brown @tallPhilb]

@rickyretouch So pretty!! What did You render this in? 🤔 👀 💭

[Phil Brown @tallPhilb]

10 years later this game still runs and feels great, memories <3 @ReflexArena #indiedev #arenafps 🚀

[Phil Brown @tallPhilb]

Just messing around with some physics 🙃

[Phil Brown @tallPhilb]

@nczempin @epyoncf @SebAaltonen Personally I’m a simple man and use Cursor purely for manual typing and ai auto complete (which is amazing)

[Phil Brown @tallPhilb]

@epyoncf @SebAaltonen Claude code (command line) and cursor are both leagues above for coding than copilot and ChatGPT

[Phil Brown @tallPhilb]

@SebAaltonen I’m way faster in my own engines than thethe alternatives. And this is before AI which have tipped the scales even further. 💯 agree

[Phil Brown @tallPhilb]

Building a level is so satisfying💚
