This is pretty insane 😳😳

And this right here is why ye olde tiled lighting would never fly in Tiny Glade :D (build by Omayli)

Finally online, the brilliant talk Pondering Orbs by Mikkel Svendsen on the rendering of the similarly brilliant game Cocoon youtu.be/8kS17jt38XQ?...

In our next Tiny Glade update we'll bump the light limit from 32 to 32k while keeping the cost more or less the same. The small limit has been a cop out, as we didn't quite know how to render huge numbers of (screen-space) shadow-casting lights without severe performance degradation.

Here's a recording of my Tiny Glade presentation from the Graphics Programming Conference 2024: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jusW... It's an any% speedrun of our GPU-driven rendering, shadows, global illumination, water, and DoF, involving a few weird tricks.

Graphics Programming Conference 2024 talks are up. Looking forward to learning the new Tomasz magic :) www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Hey, y'all! 👋 I'm Tom (or Tomasz if you enjoy Hungarian Notation or Klingon) I cause graphics devices to become lost, and generate all sorts of technical, design & artistic debt in Tiny Glade, together with @anopara.bsky.social, @lydmartin.bsky.social & @odaodaoda.bsky.social
