@SoerbGames Is the computational overhead mainly in extra samples in the object shader? I'm guessing that you would have to sample the color buffer in a radius around the object to determine direction of light? Or can something like reflection probes / cubemaps be used?

@LiterallyJeff Yeah, I was surprised how well it works for almost no computational overhead. If you have specific questions I can try to answer them here.

@SoerbGames Nevermind, saw your answer on another post. Using the fluid color buffer, blurred and sampled as a sort of lightmap. Would love to learn more about that, it makes for a convincing realtime GI effect.

@SoerbGames Nice breakdown. How does the fluid sim contribute to lighting the environment?

Check out the latest trailer for the 40-player real-time chess battle royale game Chess Arena, as the game will launch a Closed Beta. #indiedev #indiegame 🔗 ift.tt/z8RP6Jw

Chess Arena makes a battle royale out of a classic game - gamesbeat.com/chess-arena-ma…

@alexandrabotez Love how the trailer turned out 🔥

I turned chess into a video game: 40 players. Giant chessboard. ONE winner. Also, I added bombs💣 Playtest starts Oct 25th!

Check out the game I've been working on!

This change had me pulling my hair out. They used to all be distinct and easily recognizable by shape and color. Now I find them based on memorizing the order I put them in an app folder.

@danielsantalla Very charming! Reminds me of Magikarp Jump a little bit. Good stuff.

Wow just woke up to this blowing up! I’ll keep polishing it, and you’ll see it on Steam in a few weeks! 🐟🐠🐡😄

@WholesomeRaf @UnrealSensei Lumen reflections and SSR are two completely different things.

@UnrealSensei Uses Lumen, even in that video on a small phone screen I can see SSR inconsistencies 🤷🏼

Marvel Rivals is the biggest game of the year and is made on Unreal Engine 5 using Lumen. Unreal is not killing video games. It is making the barrier to entry to game development easier.

@Soundy777 Have you seen PrimeTween? It has replaced DoTween for me recently.

I think I have a DoTween obsession w/ #Unity 👀

@WeezSays @trbltrtI @thicc_stick_boi The fact that you're basing your argument on your personal definition of "never fully" is crazy.

@trbltrtI @thicc_stick_boi ??

Playstation fans have 0 kowledge of gaming history.

@MisterSaturnus @JanOrszulik I try to keep the mentality of cleaning as you go, like you would cooking in the kitchen. Rarely will you be revisiting prior features if they work as intended, so all you can do is try to make the first effort as clean as possible.

Speaking from professional experience, we only optimize when we have to, like when developing for a platform that has significant limitations, like switch, and only because performance on that platform is a priority. Otherwise our focus, as an evergreen is on retention and onboarding, as you would expect. We have some focus on performance, but it is not major. However we also aren't using DLSS, though I imagine we might in a few years.

I wonder how much these ppl know about actual game optimization.

@OverdrawXYZ How do you handle the situation where the damage creates a floating bit? Just leave it be or is there some logic to make islands into gibs?

Check out some of the #houdini tech i developed to quickly create gore, gibs, and zombie-like effects for my indie project, #resistanceisbrutal. There are 3 layers below the skin - muscle, bone, and organs! #indiegame #indiedev

Today I learned scientists discovered a dinosaur tail perfectly preserved in amber. It is full of feathers.

Absolute eye candy 😍

@ImaginaryBlend Incredible work!

I've made some slight lighting improvements! 🌊 The shader now simulates sunlight absorption when the geometry is underwater inside a tunnel.

oh boy
