Progress in figuring out what works well with my virtual triangle pixel rendering.

Visual pass for the fully interactive physics based dice role using click + mouse motion to shake and click release to toss.

A transparent randomness design that makes me feel like the results of chance are a direct result of my actions and timing.

Got this rendering style cleaned up more and pretty excited about it.

Video with pixel movement attached below.

Progress on this dreamy sci-fi rendering style.

Something about reduced clarity draws me in. A feeling like my mind is participating in imagining the world rather than being presented exactness.

I much prefer when random chance feels truly random with irl dice roles, compared to digital black box systems that are often designed for control of game flow.

Here’s an example of a physics based digital dice role interaction using mouse input for shaking and release.

Mesh based triangle pixelation scene sampling in Unreal.

My goal here is to physicalize the world view, pulling properties of VR immersion strategies back into traditional games.

More on this to come.

Hey everyone!
I am now offering Unreal Engine optimization consultations and training. For inquiries that seem like a good fit, I can start with a free initial evaluation to more clearly understand the depth of your needs and to validate that my skills would benefit your goals.

My all time favorite game! I’ve only met a small handful of people that have heard of it, even among long time gamers and devs, this one seems to have really slipped through the cracks for how incredible it is.

Optimizing games is often presented as data collection with a few high level goals in mind, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. Knowing what to do with that data is where things get tricky, as the best solutions are often specific to the game itself.
