Today I'm releasing Spark for Unity, a Unity package that brings the Spark texture codecs to the Unity engine and it's free for projects with lifetime revenue under $100K. t.co/RaUwMH90rK #unity #spark

The Cost of AI alextardif.com/AI.html

Indeed! Used this a while ago to make a 24-bit hash optimized for GPU and got some really really good wins compared to the commonly used version of PCG out there. The full-rate 24-bit multiply-adds are the real workhorse of it 🧡 www.shadertoy.com/view/l3K3zR

Need advice, What’s good for VK frame pacing w/ low input latency? I was seeing bursts of frames I wrote a feedback system that consumes stats from the last frame, then waits for the projected time it would take to run the update +10% to have minimal swap latency Works well, but feels like a hack

I have released my level scripting i/o system, it's called JoeIO and it works great for me and at work but it's early so be gentle and just holler if you come across any weirdness. An explanatory video is below www.joewintergreen.com/joeio-a-leve...

There's a new paper out in JCGT by @jamportz.bsky.social et al. that proposes a super simple modification of existing microfacet models to implement a retroreflection model. What's interesting is that although insanely simple, the model fits measured data pretty well! jcgt.org/published/00...

I spent some time reverse-engineering Apple's Lossy texture format. It wasn't as simple as I originally thought, and some of the details surprised me. Check it out! www.ludicon.com/castano/blog...

It’s probably time to start a set of blogpost on the joys of programming, which will discuss some of the more novel things I’ve been doing in my home engine / c99. Just because the global tech space makes me feel like I’m losing my mind.

I’m not usually one to get disheartened at work around AI, due to the type of work I do. But giving feedback on a review to someone and that person copy pasting my feedback directly into a prompt and me getting the AI message back is such a slap in the face, we are meant to be communicating ideas!

you guys went crazy for low poly island, thanks for all the kind words 😎 detail:

Currently working on porting my website to hugo for static website generation, gotta say, this is so much better than writing HTML like I was before. . . Once this is rolled out, blogposts to (slowly) follow. some technical, some indie game book club stuff, exciting! and now ft. RSS feeds.

The SDL organization has an official position on LLMs and generative AI now: don't use it. github.com/libsdl-org/S...

Ive been working towards making my asset db simple to serialise, so all my containers use spans for data now. All I need to do at this point is write span serialisation w/ a header and then the my assets become mem mappable from disk. db entries are slot handles so that’s trivial to serialise too!

Happy 20 years of Neil banging out the tunes 🐀🎶🎉

INTRODUCTION TO SPHERICAL HARMONICS FOR GRAPHICS PROGRAMMERS finally done. gpfault.net/posts/sph.html

I somewhat recently wrote a new debug allocation tracker, this tracker also stores off as much of the call stack that can fit int a 128 byte string buffer when an allocation is made. And finally it triggered and showed me the exact system that didn’t free memory. Brilliant!

Hi. I'm still looking for work! I'm a games generalist programmer that has done tons of different things over the past 15 years: - game design & engine development - audio programming for music games & board games - graphics programming & tools engineering - ui work someone must have a lead for me?

Oh my this is beautiful.

more low poly stuff, this time a mockup for an imaginary game in gba resolution (240x160px) the 3D scene is made with picocad2, 2D overlay is made with aseprite #picocad2 #aseprite #lowpoly #gamedev #pixelart

I’ve seen quite a few snippets from this post without the surrounding context. I highly recommend you take the time to read the entire blog post. (Especially if you are a manager) It presents many of the issues I discussed in my last university lecture on getting into games engineering.

What is even the point of artistic intent when you can’t even fucking see it anymore through 8 layers of upscaling and sharpening filters just to have a model apply a dire looking “hire fans” ass filter slapped on the end.

Good luck getting footballers or any other athletes to hand wave any likeness rights without anything in return. There is absolutely no chance a player or the agents representing them are going to let that pass without a fee or a legal fight.

Age verification on web for communication is absolutely absurd. The idea that communication methods should be gated like this is insane, if someone said let me check your age before you send a physical letter you would simply laugh at them. Wonder if the outcome of this is the return to SMS.
