@aras_p @SebAaltonen In @FlaxEngine we use the latest .NET 8 so with AssemblyLoadContext we have near-instant code reload even in large projects. C# Editor code and domain stays up and responsive. I wonder if Unity will be able to ever transition from Mono

@SebAaltonen I would argue that while it is good, it is not good enough. I'd want to "somehow" get domain reload times be 10x faster. At some point (back when way less engine/editor code was C#), domain reloads used to be faster, so yeah a hard problem I guess.

Unity does one thing very well: C# code hot reload while editor is running. I worked there as principal engineer for 3 years leading DOTS rendering development. Really loved writing Burst C# rendering code. Could iterate render code without booting the editor. Same for shaders.

@duroxxigar @team_veki @FlaxEngine Yeah the build system compiles C++ engine and C# editor with .NET runtime and all features inside. We use lots of templates but keep the code clean and optimized for build time as it helps us to develop engine faster (less time wasted on compile times)

@team_veki @FlaxEngine Pretty sure Flax is using a lot of templates. @wfigat can probably confirm. The primary language runtime Flax uses is C++ though. You just do your scripting in C# (or C++ if you want). The editor is C# as well I believe though.

This is a from a completely fresh full compile of @FlaxEngine source code. The entire source compiled in 31 seconds. That is crazy. Godot takes my machine about 10 minutes for a fresh build. Unreal about 1 hour and 35 minutes. #indiedev #gamedevelopment

The next Flax update will contain a new Shadow Map Atlas that supports variable resolution and update rate per-light. #flax #flaxengine #indiedev

@FreyaHolmer You should check out @FlaxEngine which recently moved from Mono to the latest .NET 7 with new C# superpowers flaxengine.com/blog/flax-1-6-…

Freya Holmér@FreyaHolmer·25 Ağu

I feel like Unity upgrading from mono to the .net runtime/"CoreCLR" is going to be a low key game changer a massive performance boost + new C# features without changing your workflow into a contrived mess? yes please

@SebAaltonen It uses DDGI with custom SDF tracing and surface cache atlas. More info: docs.flaxengine.com/manual/graphic…

Wojtek Figat@wfigat·27 Mar

@SebAaltonen You could try Flax Engine Tech Demo that uses software ray-tracing GI/Reflections but all quality is set Ultra so it can be a challenge for a GPU :) flaxengine.com/tech-demo-2022/

First experience of the new computer: - Desktop is super smooth (144Hz 4K monitor) - It is completely silent in desktop use. Fans run at very low RPM. Can't hear them. What is the best way to stress the RTX 4090 nowadays? I want some ray-tracing :)

@guitio2002 In @FlaxEngine we use very similar approach with Global SDF clipmaps but instead we use chunking and mipmap generation to improve both rasterization time and tracing performance. More info: docs.flaxengine.com/manual/graphic…

Guillaume Boissé@guitio2002·5 Eki

there seems to be quite a bit of interest for this so thought I’d do a small breakdown:)

This paper uses a real-time distance field builder that I wrote but unfortunately never took the time to write about :( Here, maintaining a field representation of the scene in <0.5ms. Excited to see the paper accepted at SIGGRAPH Asia and congrats to my teammates on that one :)

@Bobby_Anguelov Yeah that's concerning in the long run. That's why we're building @FlaxEngine to provide variety in the market of game engines.

English

Bobby Anguelov@Bobby_Anguelov·5 Nis

I cant help but be concerned with the consolidation of the games industry around UE. While I disagree with it, I understand why it's happening. Main worries are in terms of both stunted technical innovation as well as companies tying their futures to a 3rd party financially.

@JoeFindsTalent @UnrealEngine Nice! But sounds like someone who fights against monopolies might become a one.

@zeuxcg Yeah it's a great tool! We're using it in @FlaxEngine for nice auto-LOD.

A little bird told me that github.com/zeux/meshoptim… is used in a certain *very* high profile title that may have had an accident wrt source. Some folks from the industry reach out saying that they use it and some people don't but I'm happy all the same, it's good to see adoption!

Holy Stick | OUT NOW! 🔥@alwaystoolatehq·18 Mar

We're creating Holy Stick! It’s a 2D multiplayer action game, filled with fun and gore. No flesh can counter a bullet, so it's easy to lose a limb or two during combat (try shooting that gun with no hands, smart-ass!) #gamedev #IndieGameDev #madewithunity #holystick
