@CodeRed_dev without budget it's hard to develop a narrative with non rogue like games.

"Indie devs are innovators" Also Indie devs :

@Unfrozen_Studio can't wait to try when I finish my work congrats. But I was quite surprised that you didn't compile the game for macs though. What’s the biggest blocker here?

@boratmuz dev şirketler çalışanlarını modern times daki gibi üretim bandında maks verimlilikle çalıştırdıklarında mutlu mu olmamız gerekiyor? fazla çalışmasın ve maaşını da alsın işte ne güzel 🙂

Bunların maaşını ödemek için 1 gb internete aylık 4 milyon dolar ödüyosunuz

@brodatyBearOT @RecGame_RA thank you 🙂

@emportent @RecGame_RA I hope something from it will be helpful 😄

UE5でメッシュとメッシュの境界線を 自然に馴染ませるツール「MeshBlend」、 これは地味にすごいやつです…👀 岩が地面から生えてるように見える質感、 ずっと眺めていられますね。インディーからAAAタイトルまで 実際に使われているのも納得です。

for demonstration on my engine: 500k blades 60fps macbook air m3 16 I was too lazy to do the shading, but the point here is just to show how cheap it actually is with correct pipeline (Compute -> vertex -> frag)

cubic bezier procedural grass experiment... math from the "Procedural Grass in Ghost of Tsushima" GDC talk code and instructions: shadertoy.com/view/7fSSRc

@jarredsumner its a bad marketing my dude 😀

I expect OSS to go the opposite direction: no human contribution allowed. Slop will be a nostalgic relic of 2025 & 2026.

@_chenglou We worked really hard on this at the workplace (still working though). We achieved over 95% “consistency” finally, but still I'm not very satisfied :-/

Deterministic LLM inference is a hill I’ll die on! I found myself having to explain (to software engineers nonetheless! Maybe we got too used to chat) why it’s important

@Foyezes yeah good idea! cheap procedual 3d flames could be tricky though and their movements ofc :-)

@emportent grass shaders are always so fun when you figure them out. the methods also apply to fire as well, which is great since I'm trying to create a convincing fire effect right now

@XorDev Whaaaatt???? I can’t believe it! 🥺🥺🥺 RIP

RIP Kali 😥

@kiki___toki thx 🙂

@emportent nice!

@SoundSafari_io by ysing a tiny hash rng in the shader 🙂each iteration spits out a rand value that I remap into the visible wavelength range...

@emportent That’s so cool & the result is phenomenal, how are you sampling wavelengths?

Another Spectral galaxy (colors are “pyhsicalish” spectral approach (390-630mm cie xyz->RGB (for perceptual colors))

@FFmpeg one of the reasons why getting rusty ;-)

This is the reason FFmpeg is not written in a Garbage Collected language. We can't just stall for a few milliseconds. Also unlike gaming which can just lag and reduce FPS, video (de)compression must maintain real-time to have smooth video. 1ms is a lot but it isn't at the same time.

@SoundSafari_io i sample a wavelength (~390–630nm), map it to CIE XYZ (approx. human perception), then convert to rgb. So colors come from a pseudo spectral process rather than arbitrary rgb picks 🙂 so each splat on this shader gets its own wavelength based color

@emportent Can you explain the color approach you're speaking about? I'd love to know more this is gorgeous!

@JFPuget "Is there a need for a paper to state this?" yea normally it shouldn't be necessary. but I think it’s important to point this out nowadays. I started to see a lot of pieces about consciousness/llms based on ambiguous implicit assumptions.

TL;DR We need to define consciousness before we can check if AI models can be conscious. Is there a need for a paper to state this? Seriously? What am I missing here?

path tracing for fun: tame impala currents

@SebAaltonen still too expensive :-/

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.
