What turned from a personal jam idea for a day or two of dev (initially) kinda morphed into an actual thing!? So if you like space lasers and explosions then this might be up your alley: Wishlist this bit of chaos dev now! store.steampowered.com/app/2589190/Re… #space #indiedev #unity

@EricLengyel This has already bitten into me and I need it

FGED3 adds five new chapters to the series: 11 • Curves 12 • Motion Operators 13 • Models and Animation 14 • Advanced Shading 15 • Special Effects I'm shooting for a SIGGRAPH 2026 release. (The cover is not necessarily final.)

@DJSnM I, for one, like ads

"OMG You did an Ad read, I'm going to UNSUBSCRIBE" Fine.... I'd rather be able to pay for healthcare.

@DevinDtv *cough* fullscreen quads *cough*

can we take optimization seriously again?

@NoMansSky Riveting

jokes on them - we forgot to LOD those rivets 😅

@Phantom_TheGame QA and porting

If you suddenly got $10k to spend on game dev, how would you spend it?

@bgolus @ForrestTheWoods About a small sandwich

@ForrestTheWoods Cool cool… how big is a byte though?

I abhor that computer programmers still use the term “word”. > Size=2 means a word (2 bytes) Just say it’s 2-bytes. Word and Dword and Qword are stupid terms that should never be used by anyone in 2025. Just say how many bytes and be done with it!

@DJSnM @ThePrimalDino Good old curvature drives, but I can't derive it

My explanation, is the entire movie is about getting the ‘quantum data’ that lets them lift space colonies into space. So they have some sort of propulsion system, but maybe its performance depends on space time curvature. Gets supercharged near the black hole, but the sun doesn’t cut it.

Genuinely such a good movie, however, rewatching it a couple days ago I noticed that this movie just does NOT care about orbital mechanics at all, or it has absolutely ridiculously efficient engines that run on magic

@gak_pdx @Citrous By the machine god

@Citrous How is the stinger guided?

I always thought "My gods, why do missiles cost so much?" Then I got to work on a couple of parts, with the engineers who showed me larger parts of the assembly (like this) and immediately realized that they are sort of a bargain. The engineering going on inside a modern guided missile is absolute insanity. If you've ever taken apart an iPhone, imagine that level of component packaging, and make it huge. Oh, and everything needs to be over engineered. Yes, it is a "one time use" item, but to get it to the point of use, it needs to get carted around. It lives on the back of some sort of vehicle getting beaten up, or hanging from the pylon of a fighter aircraft. Often for months/years or alert duty cycles. My favorite was going down the rabbit hole of the Stinger missile, and just what a bonkers idea it is to put a radar and heat seeker into a man-portable system. The big coffee can battery pack, single use chillers - the Stinger put electrical, mechanical, and every chemical engineering bleeding-edge tech out. Or how the original Sidewinders powered their guidance system with a literal water wheel in the airstream to generate power while on the pylon. Shame it is all secretive.

@Acerola_t I'll discard this clip of theirs

guy who thinks he popularized dither aesthetics

@jnvcia @SkyGlitch3 Lean and mean

@SkyGlitch3 Inline 6, in this case

Gamers should never have been taught what a game engine is

Payment was unsuccessful

@skytrellisgames Okay, I need this

store.steampowered.com/app/3320850/Pe… 🚀It’s finally time!! Periapsis: Eclipse is out now in Early Access!🚀 Get in there, light up the reactor, deploy the radiators, and turn some hostiles into dust!

@AJamesMcCarthy Definitely bad

@AJamesMcCarthy Is it bas that the first thing I did was check the corners for coma?

Here's what my 135mm camera lens captured this morning looking East before dawn: A spectacular comet, getting brighter every day. This is the most active one I've captured, with noticeable changes to the tail between shots! You can see where a chunk just broke off here!

@JonasTyroller @paul_schnepf I'm already sold on it

We started working on our next major game release today. Wanted to share the very first sketch by @paul_schnepf to celebrate.

@128_mhz A lot of engines make one an ouroboros

@LenteGameDev Talk about flow

making virtual rivers, on a river. what a nerd

@willeastcott @simonbethke @Integza__ might find this disgusting

The level of realism achievable with 3D Gaussian Splats continues to get better and better. Show me a better GPU-rendered tomato, I dare you! 🍅 #SuperSplat Credit: @simonbethke

@DelbellzVA This is siiiiick! Awesome!
