I ported my #Gamecube game engine to PC, and even in its unoptimized state, it runs at 60 FPS with a minimum render distance of 64 chunks on my laptop -- double the maximum render distance of Minecraft: Java Edition. Powerful hardware won't be necessary for the game to...

This unoptimized port doesn't use any level-of-detail tricks -- everything is rendered in full detail. Here's how the game looks in widescreen.

this has been my favorite development to follow on twitter, ur indirectly making what shouldve been the bedrock version we have now since u wont recreate minecraft in its entirety, (understandable) would u be open to passing the torch and letting others possibly modernize it?

Absolutely outstanding! 👏 Will you limit your PC port to the same or a similar RAM usage as the GameCube version? (outside debug builds, I guess ^^) That way you could basically have the full RAM contents in L3 cache all the time on relatively modern machines! 😮

With a render distance of 64 chunks, this already fits within a 64 MB L3 cache. To put that into perspective, that's 460 million blocks packed into just 64 MB of RAM.

Seriously, how do you do this? How are you able to squeeze everything out of this engine on the GC/Dreamcast (and Wii) and then succesfully port it to PC? How do you do this? How/Where did you learn all the knowledge needed for all of this!

Showcase of my #Minecraft-inspired game engine on the #Gamecube and #Wii at Handmade Seattle 2024. My goal: recreate Minecraft Beta 1.7.3's mechanics and branch off into an original block game that surpasses it in both gameplay and graphical fidelity, highlighting the technical strengths of my game engine. If you enjoy modded Minecraft such as TerraFirmaCraft or Feed the Beast, there's a good chance you'll enjoy this game! The engine already boasts render distances that surpass Minecraft's legacy console and Bedrock editions on Gamecube and Wii, and it achieves double the render distance of Java Edition on PC, even in its unoptimized state. Optimization will be my main focus for the rest of this year, with gameplay and graphical upgrades planned for sometime next year. Stay tuned for updates! #indiegamedev #gamedev

Blazing at 3690 km/h (Mach 3), hitting nearly 60 FPS with a 64-chunk render distance on the PC port of my #Gamecube game engine. For perspective, that's three times the speed of sound -- faster than an F-22 Raptor at full throttle. Insane speed, jaw-dropping performance! #indiegamedev #gamedev

This week, I overhauled concurrent heap defragmentation (akin to garbage collection) in my voxel game, achieving microsecond-level pause times and O(1) scalability across all platforms. Since existing research didn't fit my needs, I built my own defragmentation algorithm from first principles. The new system is a game-changer for the Gamecube and Dreamcast, where memory can easily become a bottleneck. These improvements eliminate stutters, even with millions of allocated objects like chunks and entities. In the first clip, the PC version runs 100,000 objects (render distance: 32) with no issues. The second clip in the reply ramps up to half a million objects (render distance: 64) and still holds steady — pause times stayed rock solid.

Blasting through an existing world file at 2800 km/h, holding a perfect 60 FPS with a 64-chunk render distance on the PC port of my Gamecube voxel engine. Feels unreal how well this thing is running. This is shaping up to be one of the most high-performance Minecraft-style voxel engines out there!

I've been mostly working on the internal systems lately for my #Dreamcast engine. The PC port gave me the debugging tools I needed to improve complex systems like the memory manager. • Audio is now working on the Dreamcast version • The renderer runs 20% faster on the Dreamcast • Heap allocation is 300% faster on average and 200% faster on worst case. While this had minimal impact on performance for the #Gamecube and PC versions, it was a significant bottleneck on the Dreamcast. • Increased real-time heap defragmentation throughput by using a new multi-regional heap structure, which also sets the foundation for DRAM bank-aware memory allocation. There's still plenty of room for more optimizations in Meese Engine. In fact, some optimizations found in Minecraft have yet to be implemented in this engine! #retrogamedev #indiegamedev

Just doubled my voxel engine's render distance from 64 to 128, now effortlessly surpassing Minecraft: Bedrock Edition's max of 96. After nearly a year without changes, I finally overhauled the PC renderer, now leaner and faster than ever.

Yes. I recently "resurrected" my cat PS1 game and even ported it on PC too. I want to do a lot more work on it soon and make some real levels/places for it. Here it is running in 60 FPS natively on PC, but still being a PS1 game at heart... :D

In my #Minecraft-like engine, mountains with this level of scale and detail were once out of reach on the #Dreamcast. But with recent optimizations, they're now a reality: • The renderer is now 19% faster, achieving near-peak efficiency at 30 cycles per vertex (up to 6.67 million vertices per second) • Aggressive occlusion culling reduces polygon counts by over 50% • Lighting and meshing is now 73% faster • Terrain generation is now 6% faster • Optimized frustum culling #indiegamedev #gamedev #Gamecube

When you look at games on the PC Engine and Neo Geo—arguably the most powerful 8-bit and 16-bit consoles—it can honestly feel overwhelming. Fatal Fury Special was ported to the PC Engine CD, and at that level, it’s fair to call it an almost perfect conversion. The Super Famicom version suffered from hardware limitations and was handled by Takara, a different company, so the results weren’t particularly impressive. In contrast, the PC Engine CD version of Fatal Fury Special was developed directly by SNK as a test case for CD-based game production before the release of the Neo Geo CD, which explains its exceptionally high level of quality.

Time for a status update and direct hardware capture of another high-profile AAA title coming to the Sega Dreamcast... jnmartin's eagerly anticipated port of Sonic R! As you can see from the footage, the game looks and runs phenomenally on the DC, with all of the fancy lighting from the Sega Saturn version, plus the dynamic weather system from the PC release, along with the banger soundtrack present and accounted for on the little white box of Dreams, which is now able to run it at twice the resolution, with crisp progressive-scan video display output! One of the most exciting and interesting aspects of this project is that jnmartin has taken the port to the next level and has implemented online connectivity and even internet cross-play, so that you can race against players running the game on Windows, MacOS, and Linux on your Dreamcast!

Fun fact: It would take the average PC roughly 138,069,000 hours or about 15,761 years to render Avatar: The Way of Water. Here’s how I worked it out: The average PC in 2024 has 6 cores. The average blade on WetaFXs renderfarm has between 16-64 cores. There is roughly 414,000 frames in the finished film, accounting for half of the film being 48fps and half being 24fps at the final runtime of 192 minutes. Each frame took an average of 20-80 hours to render on WetaFXs blades depending on shot complexity and accounting for the 4K delivery resolution. With that info, we can work out the average: We say that the average Weta blade has 40 cores (average between the 16-64 count). That gives a Weta to PC core ratio of 6.67 We also say that the average render time per frame is 50 hours (average of 20-80) Total render time for Weta: 50 hours x 414,000 frames = 20,700,000 hours To work out how long this would be on the average home PC we must multiply by the core ratio from earlier: 50 hours x 6.67 = 333.5 hours per frame Total render time on a home PC: 333.5 hours x 414,000 frames = 138,069,000 hours, which converted to years is 15,761 DISCLAIMER: This is all an educated guess done for fun based on publicly available technical information about the film and Wetas renderfarm. It does not account for any production optimizations, storage limits etc. The real number could be drastically higher. CREDITS: Video is from WetaFXs YouTube channel:

I have something very special to share today! This is a hardware capture of maximqad's port of the Xash3D engine--which is compatible with the Half-Life engine--running on the Sega Dreamcast... ONLINE! Keep in mind this is EXTREMELY early in the days of the port, with no DC-specific graphics optimizations or hardware accelerated math routines yet, so performance still has a lot of room to drastically improve. Audio was literally just barely moved to the SPU for the first time just the other day too, so this is still all very incredibly new... ...but here it is! The engine that wouldn't even run without being on an emulator that also needed to emulate the extended 32MB RAM modification... now running on a stock Sega Dreamcast with online multiplayer connectivity and mouse and keyboard support! Fantastic work from maximqad! I really believe as this engine matures, it will be an incredibly powerful tool for Dreamcast developers and will potentially bring a lot of new software to the platform in the form of Half-Life engine mods!

When I saw that Assassin's Creed Unity was getting a 60 FPS update for current gen consoles, I honestly could not wait to see it with my own eyes. And after playing it, I realized it is not just 60 FPS. The game also seems to be upscaled to 4K, which is absolutely insane in my opinion and the game runs incredibly smooth! Many of you know that I have never been the biggest fan of Unity. But I have to admit, maybe it is just placebo, yet it genuinely feels like the game plays better. Almost like the controller responds more precisely to what I actually want to do. I tested it properly in stealth and of course in parkour, and I have to say, it feels amazing! For PC players this might not be anything special. But for someone like me, mainly playing on console, finally being able to experience Assassin’s Creed Unity at 60 FPS is a game changer. And by the way, co op also seems to be working normally again. This is honestly crazy to see!
