The peas have got AI Janet!

I wrote more words about how it feels to be a translator watching the games press report on AI and labor, coming from a field that's fought these battles for decades. It may look like I'm beating up on one outlet, but it's not about them; I've been trying to write this for me and my peers all year.

Last week was my last week at Iron Gate - After three years working on Valheim, it's time to start looking for new adventures elsewhere. If you know someone looking for a kickass Tech Artist/Programmer, hit me up. Happy to work either remote, or on-site in Stockholm. Portfolio's at dahnberg.se

I've implemented a GPU-driven debug line renderer for Tides based on this great article by @belgianrenderer.gijskaerts.com www.gijskaerts.com/wordpress/?p.... Now I can debug why my GPU-driven LOD selection doesn't work 😅

We've just finished another iteration on Tides! This one took three months to do. @gmodarelli.com's renderer is more GPU driven and I have gotten a long way on the release's gameplay goals! We have a more stuff we wanna do and then release something playable in December! bsky.app/profile/srek...

Hi, I'm an Art Director & 3D Game Artist Available for hire 👐 I worked on award-winning stylized games Looking for the next project I can contribute to 👀 Please reach out! 💌 [email protected] RT appreciated ✨

New blog site (with RSS!), and UPDATE ON MESH CONTOURS! I've rewrote that whole part of my star blog article on how to render lines for games, by adding my own PhD work that makes it now possible in realtime! Read it AGAIN! panthavma.com/articles/lin...

Fuck AI, now and always

“Fuck AI” — Guillermo del Toro 🎥 Vanity Fair

Tell me you rewrote the renderer multiple times without telling me you rewrote the renderer multiple times!

After a couple of months of on-and-off work on Tides of Revival I have completed the implementation of Meshlet-based GPU-driven rendering and cascaded shadow maps. I had to touch every aspect of the renderer to make this possible and I'm happy it's now over :) Onto new rendering features now!

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...

Hey folks - I am around for work from mid September so if you need for your game: -Technical environment work -VFX work -Level design DM me or get me at my email address Jamie.degen(at)gmail.com Reshares of this are greatly appreciated!

I had a great time doing this interview, and I am really grateful for the opportunity given to me by @wolfgangfengel.bsky.social, whose graphics programming books sit on my shelf 😊 Thank you!

My new blog post is there, and it's a bit different from usual: Fixing stutters in your own code is hard enough, but this time I try to fix performance issues in a closed-source game. No source code or debug symbols, but a lot of guesswork. larstofus.com/2025/07/27/p... #gamedev #Trackmania

Lol, some good spice over at the #Ziglang github

Reposts appreciated! I made a starter pack for indie horror devs who are cool people (no racism, no sexism, and no hate against the LGBTQIA+ community) Also no AI and no porn. If you want to join, please tell me about the cool horror game you're working on😊 #gamedev #horrorgame go.bsky.app/3bvzpEK

Hah, this wasn't really intentional but the generator spawned out a nice village on the side of a mountain. I wonder who lives there, I'm hoping for goat people! #procgen

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

I've been writing shadow cascades code for 30 minutes straights... Time for a break

Last month AI crawlers generated 90% of my site's traffic, forcing me to pay penalties Problem solved after moving nameservers to Cloudflare+turning on AI crawler blocking. Site monthly outbound data back to ~40GB per month, down from 800GB (!!) No impact on human visitors

I wrote a blog post about my approach to GPU resource binding for the renderer of Tides of Revival. It's my first graphics programming blog post and I hope to write many more in the future! gmodarelli.com/blog/tides-d...

This is how I feel about "AI" and I find myself having to repeat these words almost every week. Initially to random folks on the internet, then to colleagues. And now, even to childhood friends 😢 it is tiring as fuck!

I can't join but this sounds like a lot of fun! Enjoy it!

It's really cool to see what @srekel.net can do with the simple compute shaders I'm adding to world generator we're writing for Tides of Revival! We'll soon(TM) gonna add Hydraulic Erosion and SDF compute shaders!

Hey bsky! 👋 I'm Lenja, a solo indie dev based in Berlin, Germany. Here's what I'm currently working on: My 6 month old prototype for a game about spreading water in the desert and watching things grow. 🌱✨

Employees who use AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini at work face negative judgments about their competence and motivation from colleagues and managers, according to a new study.

I am free to talk about Vesper so I thought I'd start off my feed here with a deep dive into what I was up to. We took a text based script and generated a 3D level from it. Obviously this is incomplete as we have now stopped development. It was an incredibly fun and challenging project 🥲.

I wrote a blog article about D3D12 resource states. It explains the rules around state promotion/decay and how that means a resource can be used on multiple queues at the same time (even if one queue is writing!) danglingpointers.com/post/d3d12-r...

There's a petition to ban conversion practices (targeting LGBTQIA+ people) in the European Union. We need one million signatures, and we currently have 180,000+. If you live in Europe (even if you don't), spread the word ! 🌈🔥✊ eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

I've had a "Be nice" rule for 7 years of Discord servers, and that was enough. Saying you're pro-LGTBQ+ and anti-fascism shouldn't be necessary. But here we are. I just added the following rule to the Open World Gamedev discord. Could've phrased it a thousand ways, hopefully this comes across ok.

Wow, I can't believe it's been two years already! Visiting @srekel.net and family was also the highlight of my work on Tides for 2024 ☺️

Some thoughts on gameplay loops, as a reply to an excellent article on the subject. For Tides of Revival, our open world RPG, I was asked to define the gameplay loops to make it clear what you actually do in the game. I came up with these two examples, see images: #gamedesign thoughts on that...
