Oh wait those are steps. Still would love that water feature though. My idyllic future star ships need lots of fountains and ponds.

I love the little recessed canal(?) in the floor. I know it goes against the warm carpet vibe but I'd love it to be a water feature. :D
Did Trump even consult Schumer on the logistics of murdering school children in Iran? Incoming strongly worded letter of support.
It would be interesting to see how this would look with stepped light levels (akin to cell shading etc) to keep the crunchy pixel aesthetic.
I think for a lot of people, the overly smooth color gradients break the vibe a bit.
For anyone who liked Exile, you can get the update/remake of them under the name Avernum. They redid the original 3 exile games and finished the first of the second trilogy last year iirc. Very much still with the same vibe and UX. @spiderwebsoftware.bsky.social
It's short 'n sweet - pretty good fit for GPUs. Pretty sure I shipped it in at least one game.
Iβm putting up a reading light in my bedroom. At this point Iβve bought a 20 dollar light, and about 200 dollars worth of tools.
Canβt wait to start as soon as the new screws, wires, drill bits, bags, plugs, paint, clips, power cable, chalk markers, laser spirit level and Japanese wood saw come in.
I suspected something was up when my package was delivered by a bespoke transport company instead of UPS.
βThe truck driver is here with your shipmentβ is not a good sign either.
Anyway I learned the difference between β and β
After decades of photorealism in games, I'm still very impressed when geometry fades out without showing the concave triangles.
My whole life I've seen peoples' mouth-holes glow whenever a transparency effect hits.
I learned a few weeks ago when to hyphenate in American English! The publishing people told me after I did it wrong consistently in a slide deck.
I follow the golden programming rule - doesn't matter if it is wrong, as long as it is consistent.
It would be gun-shy as it is a compound modifier.
Tweet that reads Leo Xander @STALLEON Stop taking social media so serious. Nothing here is real. Look at this chicken V - it is bigger than the car
I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head
Some things you can try to see if you can narrow it down:
What happens if every texture read:
1) .. returns full transparency (add 0.99)
2) .. returns full opaque (subtract 0.99)
3) .. texture is 1x1 texels
4) .. remove the clip/discard
Tbf it's probably a bit of everything

I've heard such strange reasoning behind studio closures, often it was not about quality or success, but more about "management vibe" and how motivated they seem for their next project.
Almost like publishers have no vision or direction themselves...huh..
Did you guys ever do a talk or something about your rendering? I'd love to get some insight in your style (from art or rendering prespective)
Very cool!
Axolotl game when?
Iβd like to think all the engineers are constantly upgrading and scripting new bits and pieces to their daily workflow. At least, when theyβre not goofing off and writing new holodeck programs.
If this is your video please let me credit you
Gothic 1 was great but the UX was absolutely bonkers. This is an actually good candidate for a proper reboot. Good game, good story, good scale/scope, could use an updated/usable UX.
I'm old enough to look forward to a new bucket I ordered.
It's red
I really like the part where I get to type in lines of code though!
Just finished "Survival: Fountain of Youth", a game that by pure chance stood out amongst the large amount of "survival"-type EA slop on Steam.
Polished, balanced, story driven(!) 11/10. 80h.

I think Doom did some tricks to get transparency(?) but it mightβve been something boring du to them having a red-brown-green ish space to work with
The next time, the record will be broken with a putter instead of a cue.
It's like Voltron but none of the parts fit right and everything hurts. Arthritis gang represent!
Still from Miami Vice S1 "Golden Triangle Pt 2". The apartment of Dale Menton - an 80s extravaganza interior with glass cube room dividers, black furniture and neon everywhere
I found out by pure coincidence that one of the most iconic properties of Miami Vice S1 is for sale. It's the exact apt on Brickell with a beautiful view. Just need to win a few lotteries...

If you're going from a pre-Apple Silicon MBA to an M4, you're going to see a pretty massive difference in perf.
