I ported my flash party demo to my render graph editor and it works nicely. I can start prototyping quite easily now :D. I might need to add some helper node cleanup stuff because it gets spaguetti quickly, but it works! #gamedev #demoscene

More progress on my render graph editor for my demo tool. It now works :D. I can preview my graph live. I can create compute and raster passes and chain them together easily. I can also load external resources. This is connected to my timeline tool and also my music generation tool.

So this render graph editor for my demo tool is taking form, I need to add a couple of extra features and I can start using it as a tool for my demos. It's not as complete as Gigi, but it's perfect for what I need :D

For my latest demo RADIO I implemented a render graph to handle all the passes and resource management. This weekend I added a little render graph viewer to visualize how resources are read and how the graph is generated

Made a little quick oil painting after work

Quick one hour practice during lunchtime

Little lunch time oil painting practice

Quick mini value practice oil painting on cardboard

More oil painting practice. A tiny Kropotkin portrait and a small coffee pot material test.

another little oil painting study

HSV makes so much sense now that I am painting. I never really cared for it before, but now is the foundation of all the drawings and paintings I try to make

Another little oil painting practice while watching full metal jacket

Another quick freehand oil painting sketch

Quick freehand self portrait oil painting

more quick oil painting practice :D

Another little oil painting practice after work

i got some gesso and started playing around with oil painting on cardboard :D

Finally what we've been working on for a while was just shown in Unreal Fest, Physics in UEFN! Networked physics is such a hard, but interesting topic <3

It's crazy the amount of companies I interviewed a year ago that are closing down or doing mass layoffs. I feel glad I chose to stay at Nimble. I am also happy working on Epic's stuff and doing some really cool stuff for UEFN and Fortnite Creative. I also like having my name in the credits of UE5 :3

When I say: "Could you please review my changes?", I mean: "Just approve it without looking, please. We need to ship it."

I've been watching some of the latest CppCon presentations and I feel like they are missing more "industry experience" talks. To many are about the features of the language, which is not very useful for me. I also miss the good old videogame presentations.

greed is the main religion

Ludum Dare is the best game jam and Mike Kasprzak is a lovely dude who has been running it for nearly 20 years now. Some of the games started during LD jams include: Inscryption Titan Souls Broforce McPixel Mini Metro Evoland Support Ludum Dare! Support Mike! www.patreon.com/mikekasprzak...

Getting these two next weeks off work as a benefit is just perfect timing. I need the rest so much, it's been a really hard year.

Gamedevs, post your first shipped game and your latest shipped game.

more pixel art I made a couple of years ago :3

Inscure experienced programmers are the worst. They can really bring down the morale on a team.

It's been 2 years since the release of panic's playdate console and I still can't buy it, what a bummer.

I can't share my desk now because it's filled with NDA stuff, but here's my #DevDesk from 13 years ago :D

For folks that know me as "the blue noise guy", I've put together a 50 minute video that talks about many of the things I've learned in my ~decade long dive into noise and related topics - up to and including our latest paper published days ago at I3D. Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=teth...

If we need to preserve anything from The Other Place it is this amazing meme originally posted by @mjp123.bsky.social

This is nuts. A web-based IDE for 8-bit games development, with integrated C compiler, emulator, and *source level debugger*. It all just works. 8bitworkshop.com/v3.12.0/?pla... #retro #gamedev

It's kind of dumb, but I feel slightly proud that today, for the first time, one of my fixes was deployed to UE5 repo :D

A couple of months ago I released my small C++ 2D rendering lib. It's made for 2D games, specifically if you're doing something for game jams and with sprites. The main idea is to have a very easy to use, imm mode rendering API. Current targets are D3D12, WebGL and WebGPU. github.com/bitnenfer/libnk

I've lately been thinking on doing a small intro workshop on graphics programming using gigi. This has been such a fun tool to use. It's like the next step to shadertoy. Thanks so much for creating it @demofox.bsky.social !

It's been a long time, how about a graphics study ? I'm going to look at Forspoken. (I wanted to look at it exactly because it had a good art direction that wasn't quite delivered on the final image)

Hello, World! It's cool to see so many rendering programmers here already! As a self-introduction and for those that haven't seen it on Twitter already, here's the talk that I did earlier this year at Digital Dragons re: the GPU-driven rendering in AW2! www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtX7...

Hi! hope this place is better. Here's something I made: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM0l... and you can read how I made it here bitnenfer.com/blog/2020/05... <3
