@PantsPantsless yo, saw this and immediately thought of you hahaha

A bit late to the game, but I finally got around to playing through all of Elden Ring and beating Malenia. I'm in the DLC now and getting invaded all the damn time lol

Rocking the USA hat for the 4th of July! Happy bday America! #4thofJuly

I'm finally working on a tutorial for Voxel Mage! Soon you might even understand how to play! Weeeee! #indiegames #indiedev

@NrdofAllTrades Cook me up some of that meat, bucko

Hungry Froggos 1.5.2 is up! I fixed the most important bug in the entire game (the eyes look better) And also fixed a bug with lobbies. You'll no longer join a game if they've already left the lobby scene! #indiegames #free #game #mobile #games #mobilegaming

@PantsPantsless That's rad! I love all the music from that game. It's so future-face melting, I love it

@Terrogaunt hi!! Long time! Found something i never heard before and wanted to share and immediately thought of you. A metal version of a cyberpunk 2077 tune. I swear it’s allmost Mick Gordon esque like if cyberpunk was a doom shooter. youtu.be/e9H-9BbafD4?si…

Hungry Froggos Update! In addition to a number of optimizations... All items in the accessory shop are now FREE!! Customize your Froggo to your heart's content! youtube.com/watch?v=z6tYEe… hungryfroggos.io #mobilegaming #games #indiegame #free #freegame

It’s time

@PantsPantsless @awintory Yeah, I agree. They really didn't pull their punches with the soundtrack. I learned a lot of rad music from that game! 100 gecs is probably the weirdest lol

Ok it’s not @awintory Journey level but it fits well. Music matters. I listen to dark Synthwave a lot now

@Terrogaunt you know. Years later I can’t stop listening to the CP2077 soundtrack. It that good.

@Sosowski @doougle This makes me think of a shared space experience where you have ppl outside the game dropping move controllers like indiana jones traps

“I own enough move controllers” - @doougle

Unity 6 let's gooooooo

You don't know what the perpendicular vector of the face is? Well, that's normal. #gamedev jokes

@PantsPantsless Why does it own "a travesty" :D

@Terrogaunt Its a travesty 😉

The fact that "its" is the possessive and "it's" is the contraction has gotta be the biggest scam in the english language

@epyoncf @Sosowski @Saulcava1 @Nilskiii Oh, absolutely. But I'd say having "something" to compete in 3d seems necessary, given the conversation thus far. I'm just curious about why the push for a 3d pipeline would be a bad thing. To me, photorealism feels more like it describes the input/output and less the system

@Terrogaunt @Sosowski @Saulcava1 @Nilskiii Photorealism are advanced techniques precisely like the ones you mentioned, and take a lot of work and manpower to reach a point where they produce performant and stable results in everyday usage. There's a difference between triangle density and adaptive mechanisms like Nanite.

Devs: Let's continue using Unity, what can go wrong? Unity:

@epyoncf @Sosowski @Saulcava1 @Nilskiii I guess I'm curious as to what all that entails. In Unreal, there's Nanite now, which is like converting to point cloud data for dynamically scaling. In Unity, you've got URP and HDRP. But "photorealism" just implies lighting, texture quality, and triangle density, right?

@Terrogaunt @Sosowski @Saulcava1 @Nilskiii Focus is on cutting edge photorealistic 3d, while there are barely any stable 3d games out there.

@ajgenerated Social media and rage bait seem more responsible here Given how no one cares what he's doing, seems like performative art, which makes this intentional rage bait for attention, right?
