Interesting! Sounds like you’re doing it at runtime. Was there any benefit to baking the results offline or is it not expensive enough to be worth the effort?

I’ve wanted something like this for ages. Is it a twisty dial?

I’d say “pour one out” but..

You get a document up on that baby and you are seriously looking at that document.

Shadows of Doubt has a bit of this with small tower blocks that you can fully explore. But because it’s procedurally generated they aren’t hugely interesting to explore.

Really sorry to hear this, such a fucked up situation. You worked your arse off on that book and were clearly dead proud of it. Bullshit that you’ve been ripped off like this.

A glimpse of my composing & mixing workflow in The Siege and The Sandfox. I tend to work at runtime with Metron Tracker & my mix system as #DearImGui overlays. I can override gameplay mix events or test in place, tweak synth/sample instruments, adjust quantised sync offsets #UnrealEngine #gameaudio

This is weirdly the second time today I’ve heard evel knievel referenced. Time for his post-mortem comeback tour.

I went to a ‘Star Wars’ exhibition a while back that had a similar level of craftsmanship.

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏

We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch

If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️

A thought from me and @jondadley.bsky.social:

If your name was Peter you could have a social media platform called Peter, and each tweet would be called a Pete, and then you could call retweets Repetes.

Something to consider.
