The wonder games once held has mostly faded. Nothing really hits me. But whatever Kojima is doing here, it evokes emotion. It reminds me why I got into games in the first place.

We’ve worked incredibly hard to bring to PlayStation 5, making sure you get the same authentic BeamNG experience you know and love. Enjoy! 🙂

My humble RDNA 2 now seems at peace with high grass blade counts. There is more to be done to make the grass truly happy. More soon, friends.

After my performance optimisations I hit a wall of memory. I could have strayed into streaming or mesh shaders, but first I chose to tame the beast within. I went from 64 million to 256 million grass blades while VRAM dropped from 10 GB to 5.4 GB by shrinking my instance format from 64 bytes to 10 bytes. The how is in the comments. More soon, friends.

The in-engine audio synthesiser accounts for your car’s specs and every modification you make, so you can actually hear that LaFerrari V12, or the turbo on the Mitsubishi. Still a prototype, of course. More work to come.

v0.39 is finally here! Our biggest graphics and lighting overhaul yet, featuring even more than you see in the video, including a new D3D12 renderer, clustered shading for hundreds of real time lights, and much more. Luis Anton and I poured our hearts into this one. We hope you enjoy it! 🚗✨

The fact that id Tech can push this level of on-screen chaos without a single stutter is insane.

I’m excited to share that I’ve just joined BeamNG! I’ll be working on pretty much anything needed around the engine. I have so many cool ideas I can’t wait to bring to life and hopefully you’ll be able to enjoy them soon on Steam. The best part is this is a flexible role which was key for me. It lets me allocate my time to maximize output, pay the bills, and keep delivering Spartan Engine updates and importantly podcast episodes. The situation is ideal and I’m very happy about the awesome things that lie ahead. Keep an eye out friends.

Have been working tirelessly on many things for BeamNG. One thing that's already out there is that, in the 0.39 update, you'll get real-time night-time lighting (with shadows), even in light-dense cities. Credits to Krazee for the video.

A great demonstration of how a car differential works.

I implemented fully async world loading (not just off the main thread), so the renderer can show the world as fast as possible while other threads update acceleration structures, bindless arrays, and so on. I'm making a game, so iteration speed is critical.
