My "No Graphics API" blog post is live! Please repost :) www.sebastianaaltonen.com/blog/no-grap... I spend 1.5 years doing this. Full rewrite last summer and another partial rewrite last month. As Hemingway said: "First draft of everything is always shit".

In case you missed the talks from ThinkyCon, all 35 of them are up on YouTube!

New blog post! Behind the scenes of some of the techniques involved in making our last PC demo 💫 gboisse.github.io/posts/this-i...

A retrospective of my tech career - a work-focused autobiography, basically - feels a bit vain, but I'm hopeful that it is interesting or useful enough to justify that. If nothing else writing it up forced me to try to remember what actually happened. randomascii.wordpress.com/2025/10/22/r...

I finally found the time and energy to make a new blog and write a couple of posts. This time I wrote about PBR content and game development principles. Both posts are quite different so hopefully people find something interesting on either one of them. irradiance.ca/posts/

I've got a new blog post for all of you fine folks! It runs through the additions to D3D12 since it was released, and finishes up with some of the things that have changed for me personally in my code. (And yes it's really been 10 years 👴). therealmjp.github.io/posts/ten-ye...

New at #SIGGRAPH2025: Can we make Perlin Noise stretch along some underlying vector field? Well it turns out it's possible with two simple additions to the original method! No need for advection or convolutions. Find the paper and implementations here: github.com/jakericedesi...

Most of the slides and course notes for the SIGGRAPH 2025 Physically Based Shading in Theory and practice course are now online, with more to follow: blog.selfshadow.com/publications...

Great article about a genre of games I love! A blend of puzzle design and Metroidvania-style non-linearity, where understanding the game's world and rules is the key to progress.

Sneaking past guards just got harder 👀 I'm working on the infiltration system for Tako no Himitsu, an upcoming 2D JRPG by @deneosproduction.com. Guards have dynamic behaviors, visible through our debug overlay. #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #gamedev
