Many things happened over the past month, but getting back to doing what I love: making games :D. And I'll be doing that together with amazing people from PixelAnt Games!

Modern path-tracing comparison shots are dishonest. Devs didn't bother to implement standard local light shadow maps. I don't see SSAO either. Of course it looks like shit if you are removing all the basic stuff that even PS3 games had.

🔦 Bent normals add directionality to ambient occlusion, resulting in more accurate sky lighting, reflections, and specular lighting. They’re an efficient, low-cost way to enhance lighting quality - with or without a global illumination system. Dive into the full article to see how bent normals can dramatically boost your lighting pipeline 👉 bit.ly/43wZ0tO #PAGexpert #GameDev #Lighting #GraphicsProgramming #GameDevelopment #Rendering #UnrealEngine

Game development has four critical phases: ‣ Ideation (vision & planning), ‣ Pre-Production (prototyping & vertical slice), ‣ Production (content creation & testing), ‣ and Finalization (bug fixing & launch). Nintendo invests significant time in pre-production with small, experienced teams, then ships flawlessly. Meanwhile, many developers struggle with post-launch fixes. The secret? Invest time early to save money later. Read on how to avoid the most crucial mistakes 👉 bit.ly/gd_pillars #GameDevelopment #ProductionProcess #GameDesign #GameProduction

After a 10-year hiatus, Game Jam on the Tram - the world's most extreme game jam - is back! 🤯 If you're brave enough to try to make your own game in 60 minutes while the tram runs through the streets of Poznan - sign up today: shorturl.at/lum1M 🕐 Game Jam will start on the night of October 26-27 at the Most Dworcowy stop in Poznan at 2:00 am and will last until.... 2:00 thanks to the magical change from summer to winter time. Ready, set, go ❗️

Let's try it out :) I've seen a lot of nice people moving to it recently.

🔥 GPU Work Graphs Mesh Nodes are now available for @VulkanAPI with latest #AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 24.10.30.02 beta driver 🔥 Find out more, including links to the driver, documentation, and samples in our latest short blog: gpuopen.com/learn/gpu-work… #workgraphs

I love these weekly summaries by @jendrikillner, so I'm really happy to see myself in this one <3

If you want to learn about Mesh Shaders and understand where they can be used, and already are used, check out my talk from #dd2024: youtu.be/3EMdMD1PsgY?fe…

It's an amazing talk! Be sure to check out ;)

@Johnny2Cellos I hope it drops on Netflix Poland. I really wanted to see it, but it isn't available on HBO MAX Poland :(

Scavengers Reign re-releases on Netflix in a week. If any of my fellow creators enjoyed the show, I HEAVILY encourage you to make videos and/or spread the word. SR is one of the best pieces of science fiction I’ve ever seen, and success on Netflix could lead to a 2nd season.

- Basic understanding of low level concepts (memory, cache, multi-threading) - Try to find area that you like. Not required, but if you have some shaders or a hobby-engine it's a big plus - Play games. Be able to talk why you like a specific game and about their technical side

A couple of tips from me: - Network with people in the industry - Finish a game with a better quality than a gamejam project - Repository with projects - learning, algorithms, plugins - Learn how to debug - Absolutely NEVER talk bad about other game devs! It's a small industry

Last day of #dd2024! Lots of talks and meetings, which is quite refreshing while working remotely ;). Today's my lecture about Mesh Shaders at 1pm (CEST) in S4A Hall. See you there! #indiedev #gamedev

Hey people! @Digital_Dragons is just around the corner! If you want to talk anything gamedev or rendering I'm your man :) And if you want to learn more about Mesh shaders than be sure to drop by my talk about them! #gamedev #gamedevelopment #digitaldragons #dd2024

Gdyby zastanawiał się ktoś czemu znowu wrzucam dziwne zdjęcia na FB i ciężko się do mnie dodzwonić to od 19 do 22 maja jestem w Krakowie. Do zobaczenia na @Digital_Dragons ! #okiemdeva #gamedev #gamedevelopment #digitaldragons #dd2024

I need a new poster soooo much :D And more free time <3 As always, Supergiant Games delivered the game that is above and beyond my expectations!

Wait until people hear that Alan Wake II already use that tech for their foliage :D remedygames.com/article/how-no…

Wooo \o/ My first @Digital_Dragons, and I'm going there as a speaker! I'll be talking about Mesh Shaders, the technology that will change how we write shaders :)

@_woookie_ All the examples and recommendations I saw, mention to do culling in task shaders. Primitive culling on mesh shaders might bring some benefit, but only for really small edge-cases. So it's better to invest in LODs and culling on task shader side.

cc @RadekPaszkowski Heared you're into mesh shaders :D

Correct me if I'm wrong, but does this mean that primitive culling might not be the best thing to do in a mesh shader? It sounds like one should rather focus on good LOD system on task shader level, kind of like Nanite does. gpuopen.com/learn/mesh_sha…

@problemfellow They've probably leveraged their AI to retweet it :D
