Yes, I'm the poor soul who ported DOOM to the 3DO. Gaze at the source code, if you dare. github.com/Olde-Skuul/doo…

@DJ_Link And in case someone wants to give it a try and needs some help. youtube.com/watch?v=ih20l3…

new RTX gpu prices are insane, let’s ditch all for software renderer!

You want to transform a post-projected NCD Z-buffer value to linear view space Z? The trivial solution is to pre-calculate 4x4 inverse matrix of the projection matrix. In shader feed (NCD.x, NCD.y, NCD.z, 1.0) in this matrix. Then read .z in result vec4. There's a faster way!

Stuff I did over the years, a 🧵:

@BartWronsk @_spolsh @Thomas_ensc Something like this? Although in this case I think you would need more lines and from the voice actors. youtube.com/watch?v=688z-4…

@_spolsh @Thomas_ensc Tbh I cannot imagine anything worse than repeated one liners of not important NPCs in every game. And generally repeating same options again and again with ZERO variation.

I wonder when we're going to see the first video game using conversational AI. Both for NPCs (designers pick latent space properties and important topics, rest is generated), as well as player input / controlling behavior. Quality and tech is already here.

You have time travelled to the year 1993. As a designer, you have been asked to name id Software’s upcoming first person shooter (as we know it, DOOM). …What name would you suggest?

@oservieres @DJ_Link Quite the interesting results.

@DJ_Link Well, hum, thank you.

I tried the AI thingy

@DJ_Link So much whitespace... and that scrollbar.

the more I look the worse it gets.

@DJ_Link Sorry Falcom but there must be Doom.

Only one can exist!

@DJ_Link @123phillipg The internet is definitely not better than the bookbook™. That low latency and battery life is unmatched. youtube.com/watch?v=MOXQo7…

@123phillipg yeah I know was just joking around.

Only one can exist!

@DJ_Link Perhaps. Quite them many years before King's Field, they might have played a Rare game or two.

@KrossX_ Wonder if they inspired on this one, it’s also very hard

For some reason this reminds me of a 2D Dark Souls (I never played it)

@dzwrites You're a druid Harry!

@johntv @84play a bit late but also listen to the end. Happy 300!

@DJ_Link @beast_pixels // 7-11-2021 HACK promoted to TEMP, just leaving it for now.

@beast_pixels yeah I'm testing for side effects but seems to work, just leaving for now

uh-oh

@thomasthomassen @DJ_Link At least you can still run the classic ones, for now. Might wanna check win3emu from @toptensoftware, with an interesting series of blog posts as well.

@DJ_Link I loathe the new versions of these with the ads.

computer painting software peaked in 95

@DJ_Link Reminds me of when I used the controller leds for notifications with the linux xpad driver. Are there multiple devices reported on Windows as well? Maybe the wire is damaged, that used to cause my old controller to change ports. Would randomly hear the usb plug/unplug sound.

Couldn’t get unity input to work and noticed the Xbox controller is being plugged as both Player 1 and 4, so weird.
