It's over! Go play our game!

We didn't quite get the alpha finished in time for the gamejam deadline, but there's something there, at least 😅
I thoroughly enjoyed working in our little team this past week. And, for the first time in years, actually making a game!

I haven't touched my Portfolio site in about 3 years... oops!
I've done a bit of greyboxing (yes, that's a gamedev term - I'm not a web dev!) in draw.io - a lovely little tool, if you haven't encountered it already.
And now it's time for me to remember why I hate React JS so much... 😅

I've been playing around with Ray marching over the past couple days - I figured I'd start a thread to post my progress!

i miss the early internet. people were like “you gotta see this dude. this cat sure is long.” and they were right. it was really long. it never shoulda gotten any more complicated than that.

I've finally faced my fear of implementing lighting and jumped head first into the Blinn-Phong model in C++ whilst learning DirectX 12 at the same time. I always preferred Vulkan, and I think I still do, but I can see DirectX 12 tries to be clean. Thank you to Frank Luna for his tutorials on DX12.

Tonight I finally got around to adding Shadows to my toy Vulkan Ray tracer
Setting up SBT bindings aside, it's honestly quite painless to trace rays through Vulkan! I'm enjoying it quite a bit!
I guess i'll do Indirect lighting next...!

C++ Programming: Utilising Vulkan GPU Capabilities for Procedural Grass Rendering.
After several months of hard work, my dissertation is finally complete. This application is capable of running ~4 million grass blades at ~77 FPS.

Year 1 / Block B completed! Our students worked 8 weeks on a 3D Metal Gear clone, for PC and Raspberry Pi, with their own custom C++ OpenGL ES engine.
Video: Work by Jack Tollenaar. Bullet Physics, skeletal animation, navmeshes, reflection probes and lots more. Amazing work.

I'm surprised that there's no native Lua support in Doxygen. A current project is using it, so I might have to look into writing some filters...

Pretty comprehensive survey by @freya.bsky.social of how Generative AI is polluting Google and Bing search results with around 80% content about *.glb files being AI slop. Lots of deep thoughts on GenAI being a parasitic cancer erasing humanity & ruining the Internet:
