Materia that gives -50% chance of falling asleep on the couch after a long day

This reminded me of the mundane materia discussion from this weeks crew cast and got me laughing to myself again hahah

YouTube video by Iron Blood Games We Spent 7 Years Developing Our Indie Space Game Demo – Was It Worth It? [Devlog]

We've been making our game on and off for OVER 7 YEARS! Was it worth it? here, check out the devlog going over everything that the 2 of us went through to arrive at

WE GOT BAGELS! WOOO!

Congratulations! And eagerly awaiting the return of Big Game Hunger!

A good friend of mine has been working on a SICK PvP sci-fi warship game and has a demo out on Steam NOW! Go check it out!

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple was fantastic! Less weird, experimental cinematography than the earlier film, but it’s way more focused. Also Samson rules.

Amazing stuff! Definitely a throwback to working on Brixelizer haha.

Looking forward to hearing more about your dev process on a new Jayne Dev maybe? Hope you have a great holiday!

This is such awful news. RIP.

No Graphics API — Sebastian Aaltonen Graphics APIs and shader languages have significantly increased in complexity over the past decade. It’s time to start discussing how to strip down the abstractions to simplify development, improve pe...

I spend 1.5 years doing this. Full rewrite last summer and another partial rewrite last month. As Hemingway said: "First draft of everything is always shit".

Tired of twitchy dogfighters? It's time to command something with weight. 🚀

In Warfleet Captains, you don't fly a fighter jet—you take direct command of massive Frigates, Destroyers, and Battleships.
This is tactical, heavy-metal fleet combat.

YouTube video by /noclip The Making of Disco Elysium - Part One: Foundations

/noclip's YouTube discovery has dropped off a cliff in 2025 so just gonna keep posting this as it's one of our most anticipated projects in years. Also we're really proud of it. Check it out!

The post on using spatial hashing with raytraced ambient occlusion attracted quite a bit of interest so I expanded it into a blog post to discuss how it works behind the scenes to both reduce the noise and its cost. interplayoflight.wordpress.com/2025/11/23/s...

Introducing AMD GI-1.2 with multibounce indirect real-time rendering - AMD GPUOpen AMD GI-1.2, our real-time Global Illumination solution, is available now as part of the AMD Capsaicin Framework v1.3.

Capsaicin is not just for tacos, it's also our developer rendering framework!

v1.3 is out now:

🌶️ Added heat with GI-1.2, which includes multiple-bounce indirect lighting.
🌶️ HDR support with spicier tone mapping.

And much, much more: gpuopen.com/learn/gi-1-2...

Only 26 minutes? Fiiiine, I’ll rewatch PsychOdyssey then.

YouTube video by People Make Games The Rockstar Workers Fired Before They Could Finish GTA 6

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

This was such an amazing experience! Now I want to play MGS2 again!

Absolutely adored Keeper! @leepetty.bsky.social and @doublefine.com have done an amazing job!

Still thinking about the Blood Incantation gig in London…

After quite a bit of work, I am finally done with the first blog post about ocean rendering! You can find it here: rtryan98.github.io/2025/10/04/o...

I've also decided to create a video to showcase the ocean simulation in motion: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OXm...

New blog post! In "Billions of triangles in minutes" we'll walk through hierarchical cluster level of detail generation of, well, billions of triangles in minutes. Reposts welcome!

Ten Years of D3D12 For those of us that have been using it from the start, it can be hard to believe that Direct3D 12 has been around for nearly ten years now. Windows 10 was released on July 29th 2015, and D3D12 has be...

I've got a new blog post for all of you fine folks! It runs through the additions to D3D12 since it was released, and finishes up with some of the things that have changed for me personally in my code.

(And yes it's really been 10 years 👴).
