[Martin Griffiths @Griff_]

A few weeks of structural work and the game was rendering, but it’s fair to say there was quite a lot to fix! It might look a complete mess (like my office!) but this was actually a break through moment, because we now could iterate and debug from these small beginnings! (2/5)

[Thomas Papa @thomasjpapa]

Impressive foveated rendering work by @Griff_ Huge fidelity bump in @NoMansSky

[Martin Griffiths @Griff_]

It’s quite common to illustrate foveated rendering in the way we did for the recent No Man’s Sky Echoes release - but the actual image the GPU renders in this mode is quite different and somewhat less intuitive.. possibly even unexpected unless you’re a graphics engineer. (1/n).

[Alpine Sim Racing @AlpineSimRacing]

Never lose sight of the goal 🏆

[Alpine Sim Racing @AlpineSimRacing]

All eyes on @tobiigaming, empowering our team with advanced stats and data 👀

We’ll be working together to support and develop more refined sim racing tools to stay ahead on the track.

@miguelsicart @mitpress Congrats! <3 Homo Ludens (theory and practice) continue to evolve. That subtitle has me thinking. When did Computational Culture form? The abacus? Tennis for Two? I'll be picking this up!
