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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Millions of flowers now live happy lives in the forest in red, blue, and yellow. The wind is more organic after moving to a high quality Perlin texture. Water rendering glitches have been fixed and the geometry passes have been optimised. All of it forms a solid foundation for what follows. More soon, friends.
