@aras_p @SebAaltonen In @FlaxEngine we use the latest .NET 8 so with AssemblyLoadContext we have near-instant code reload even in large projects. C# Editor code and domain stays up and responsive. I wonder if Unity will be able to ever transition from Mono

[Wojtek Figat @wfigat]

@duroxxigar @team_veki @FlaxEngine Yeah the build system compiles C++ engine and C# editor with .NET runtime and all features inside. We use lots of templates but keep the code clean and optimized for build time as it helps us to develop engine faster (less time wasted on compile times)

The next Flax update will contain a new Shadow Map Atlas that supports variable resolution and update rate per-light.

@FreyaHolmer You should check out @FlaxEngine which recently moved from Mono to the latest .NET 7 with new C# superpowers https://t.co/GYNWsfYdrL

[Wojtek Figat @wfigat]

@SebAaltonen It uses DDGI with custom SDF tracing and surface cache atlas. More info: https://t.co/xTKydwq2sh

[Wojtek Figat @wfigat]

@SebAaltonen You could try Flax Engine Tech Demo that uses software ray-tracing GI/Reflections but all quality is set Ultra so it can be a challenge for a GPU :)

@guitio2002 In @FlaxEngine we use very similar approach with Global SDF clipmaps but instead we use chunking and mipmap generation to improve both rasterization time and tracing performance. More info: https://t.co/WVv1sIUAb4

Flax 1.4 just got released! Check out highlights: https://t.co/jMWHylMqQ6

@Bobby_Anguelov Yeah that's concerning in the long run. That's why we're building @FlaxEngine to provide variety in the market of game engines.

[Wojtek Figat @wfigat]

@JoeFindsTalent @UnrealEngine Nice! But sounds like someone who fights against monopolies might become a one.

[Wojtek Figat @wfigat]

@SebAaltonen Unreal is an ancient engine so that's expected

@omershapira When PhysX 5 that is used in Omniverse will be released to the public?

[Flax Engine @FlaxEngine]

We're excited to announce the first cross-platform game made with Flax!
The Kostka by @nejcraft is coming soon to #xbox #playstation #nintendoswitch #steam

[Wojtek Figat @wfigat]

@zeuxcg Yeah it's a great tool! We're using it in @FlaxEngine for nice auto-LOD.

[Holy Stick | OUT NOW! 🔥 @alwaystoolatehq]

We're creating Holy Stick! It’s a 2D multiplayer action game, filled with fun and gore. No flesh can counter a bullet, so it's easy to lose a limb or two during combat (try shooting that gun with no hands, smart-ass!) #gamedev #IndieGameDev #madewithunity #holystick

[Flax Engine @FlaxEngine]

It finally happened! Flax 1.0 released with full source code, Android support, Visual Scripting, and more.
