That's because they coddle them too much now. Back in my day, it only took 20 years for T-Rexes to fully mature, because they had discipline. Spare the rod, spoil the terrible tyrant lizard.

I know it's meant in good faith but "if we just made smaller scope games and charged 20-40 dollars for them it would fix the industry" is very funny to me. indies release like 20 of those a week on steam. are you buying them? is the industry fixed? no? hm. sounds like you need a different solution
Clipmap debug colors #screenshotsaturday #vulkan #gamedev
Got multiple levels in clipmap working. Stepped through with DDA. SDF atlas draw everything every frame atm. Had change-only redraw before when I used a hashmap, we'll see when I reimplement smarter redraw. :) Each block is 8^3 voxels + borders for sampling.

Ended up ditching my nice spatial hashmap for a clipmap approach. Here is a test with one clip level. The pipe (SDF->Bricks->Voxels) is GPU driven now, only the SDF primitive deltas and clip level overlap indices are uploaded from CPU to GPU.

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly
Aah this great! I love Liero! 😆
Progress on my atlased SDF brick renderer. Brick atlas slices visualized to the right. Bricks to left. Note that movement stops in the atlas when the animated ball is covered. Bricks with no isosurface are pruned. Going to start wiring back the raymarcher next!

Stort grattis!! 🥳 🥂
Work in progress on rewriting my raymarcher to use small "brick" chunks. Debug draw showing dirty bricks and overlaps. This is currently done CPU side. On the GPU I'm working on a spatial hashing of these bricks into a volumetric atlas.
Had to amp up my line renderer to debug draw this. :D
Right after Renée Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles.
Absolutely vile.

You walked right into trouble, Spider-Man! #spiderman2 #photomode #ps5
This, and bread and chocolate!? Cool!!! 🤩
Added some quality of life for my little renderer. Mouse select and drag. 🐭 #vulkan #flecs #glfw
Looks real cool though
Same…
Don’t hug that tree

Relatable
Yes. We have to worry about AI and robotics.
Some questions:
Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"
TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Built the Halcyon Elora earlier this year. Custom keycaps from yuzu with åäö! 😄 First split column staggered keyboard for me and I’m finally starting to get over the initial threshold of learning it, it’s so good on the wrists.
My favourite are the two bros spending an hour bragging and gossiping, getting drunker and drunker and then at the end thanked each other over and over for a ”good and aggressive lunch”. Wtfff
I don’t know why I keep getting surprised overhearing stuff like that. In a way it explains everything.
AirXonix ftw! 🙌
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥
Wow great blog post, I been trying to wrap my head around some of these ideas recently. Your blog post really helped me connect some dots! 😃

screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.
i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
