Video game pre-production in a nutshell

Fixed the last precision issue: computing camera ray using inverse f32 camera matrix was extremely imprecise, so I switched to computing it manually from camera angles. Now everything is as smooth as it gets, the fixed-point transition officially finished!

Wait. The magic trick to be a happy dev without Jira, without deadlines, without constraints is to be… rich????

Incredible stuff. Really inspirational.

On va faire un petit jeu qui s'appelle: le journalisme. Donc après vérification des chiffres, figurez-vous qu'en 2024, la semaine où sont versées les allocation de rentrée constitue en réalité la 45ème semaine de l'année où les "consoles de jeux" se vendent le mieux en France. Ou la 7ème pire.

Début des cours le samedi 20 septembre.

Pour la teneur des cours, tout sera beaucoup plus digeste en regardant la vidéo, notamment sur la démarche. Mais en gros :

• Cours gratuits et hebdos sur twitch
• On part d'un niveau débutant absolu
• Répertoire de musiques de films, JV, Ghibli etc

Réception de trois palettes comprenant 4 titres de la collection N’Autre École

Au cœur de l’été, recevoir à notre librairie 4 livres de la collection N’Autre École.

Une nouveauté à paraître le 2 septembre, Lever la main.

Trois titres actualisés et augmentés: Trop classe; Pour une école publique émancipatrice; Des élèves à la conquête du passé.

Post from Matt Turnbull: These are really challenging times, and if you’re navigating a layoff or even quietly preparing for one, you’re not alone and you don’t have to go it alone. I know these types of tools engender strong feelings in people, but I'd be remiss in not trying to offer the best advice I can under the circumstances. I’ve been experimenting with ways to use LLM AI tools (like ChatGPT or Copilot) to help reduce the emotional and cognitive load that comes with job loss. Here are some prompt ideas and use cases that might help if you're feeling overwhelmed: Career Planning Prompts: “Act as a career coach. I’ve been laid off from a [role] in the game industry. Help me build a 30-day plan to regroup, research new roles, and start applying without burning out.” “What kinds of game industry jobs could I pivot to with experience in [Production/Narrative/LiveOps/etc.]?” Resume & LinkedIn Help “Here’s my current resume. Give me three tailored versions: one for AAA, one for platform/publishing roles, and one for startup/small studio leadership.” “Rewrite this resume bullet to highlight impact and metrics.” “Draft a new LinkedIn ‘About Me’ section that focuses on my leadership style, shipped titles, and vision for game development.” Networking & Outreach “Draft a friendly message I can send to old coworkers letting them know I’m exploring new opportunities.” “Write a warm intro message for reaching out to someone at [studio name] about a job posting.” Emotional Clarity & Confidence “I’m struggling with imposter syndrome after being laid off. Can you help me reframe this experience in a way that reminds me what I’m good at?” No AI tool is a replacement for your voice or your lived experience. But at a time when mental energy is scarce, these tools can help get you unstuck faster, calmer, and with more clarity. If this helps, feel free to share with others in your network. Stay kind, stay smart, stay connected.

Matt Turnbull, Executive Producer at Xbox Game Studios Publishing - after the Microsoft layoffs - suggesting on Linkedin that may maybe people who have been let go should turn to AI for help. He seriously thought posting this would be a good idea.

YouTube video by Skill Up The impossible (true) stories behind the making of Clair Obscur Expedition 33

After 2 months of work, the Clair Obscur Expedition 33 video is here. I interviewed most of the game's senior leadership team asking one simple question: how did you do this? Their answers were inspiring and moving, and it's no surprise that COE33 is as remarkable as it is: youtu.be/mXLOLgC2V2Q?...

Le Groenland tient son nom de quelques traces de verdures et de colons qui veulent vendre leur projet en faisant passer ça pour un endroit merveilleux. Les vikings ont dû créer des comptoirs à Terre Neuve pour ramener du bois par bateau aux colonies du Groenland faute d'arbres sur places

Doing gravity right Now you may be thinking: "baah, I know how to do gravity.." but there's a big flaw in the commonly used Euler's method to handle the gravity (or other forces). Even all the Quake games have this problem. Then what is it? If you have more frames per second in Quake, your player will run faster and jump higher. There are some places in Quake where you can't jump high enough if you don't have enough frames per second. Sounds odd, right? Most of the programmers do the gravity something like this: velocity = velocity + gravity*delta_time position = position + velocity*delta_time The algorithm above is ok but when delta_time changes or delta_time is too high, it causes many unwanted problems. Gravity adding should actually be done like this: velocity = velocity + gravity*delta_time/2 position = position + velocity*delta_time velocity = velocity + gravity*delta_time/2 That's it.. but you need proof, right?

Results in practice Here is a "jumping" parabola with different delta times, using the bad algorithm. The picture on the right corresponds almost exactly to Quake. As you can see, you can't jump in Quake if you have less than 3 fps. (Illustration showing changes in the arc of a jump depending on framerate) As delta time (dt) gets higher, the jumping curve gets lower. Now here are results with the new algorithm: (Illustration showing the arc of a jump staying the same) Quite nice, don't you think? Accelerating physics are no longer approximation! Remember that you should do all the accelerating forces like described above, not just gravity.

Integrating to the same results The proving of the formula can also be done using integration (of course, because you are calculating areas..) After integrating you'll get this formula: pos = pos + 1/2*acc*dt^2 + vel*dt vel = vel + acc*dt Note that pos = position, vel = velocity, acc = acceleration and dt = delta_time And optimizing that formula leads to this: temp = acc*dt pos = pos + dt*(vel + temp/2) vel = vel + temp This equals to the second formula given at the beginning of this document.

I dug up this very helpful old article on the internet archive that I think explains the problem and solution extremely clearly using the way Quake handles gravity as an illustration

ngl i'm proud of this one:

was drawing all the smoke using a single particle system. this caused lighting issues - all the smoke could only ever be affected by up to 8 lights and it would flicker

so now I am sorting the smoke into chunks that each have their own particle system
