A lot of us software engineers, and probably more so in the game industry but not only, are on the spectrum. And many never got diagnosed.

We use sentry for crash reporting and splunk for telemetry. Though we’re still at its inception as the logistics are a bit complicated for the stuff we do (theme parks).

And now Zuck is planning to layoff 5% of the workforce, and later replace midlevel engineers with AI? This is not gonna end well…

Sometimes I feel like we’re living in another dimension. Things are really going side ways… or upside down, not sure!

Super cool. Totally demoscene worthy! Reminds me of the cube with plasma animation in second reality.

You can always deploy a pyinstaller version which turns your script into a standalone app.

Man that sounds like a cool gig. I’d totally apply, and would be awesome to work with you and the team Tobias!! But can’t do the UK. I might talk to the wife nonetheless.

I use PySide. Quite effective.

I’m thinking it would work pretty well for somewhat generic assets like trees, shrub, rocks, terrain textures etc… we already used tweaked procedural textures/models. I just see GenAI be an extension of that.

100% but I wonder if GenAI art would work if you train your model with IP content prebuilt by your artist. That would make art generated by AI just be a variation/derivative from original art with minimal impact to AD.

This has gotten much worse over time. So much performance left on the table. But in the end it doesn’t matter as much. Can be fixed with content.

I think that’s a source of complaint, because you’d end up in a situation where you couldn’t ship your game even at a lower performance like you did on Xenon.

This is a great post Jaymin, but I’m not sure it sells the SPUs as not being as hard to program as the press made it sound. In fact, in many place in your post you say ‘doing x was hard’ like your texture tiling problem, and having to rethink the algorithm.

It’s a difficult debate. Both should be able to deliver a high quality product. The main difference would be on scope. An indie game will not deliver the same as AAA, but they also do not charge the same…

I should rephrase. Asset tracker tool -> robust asset tracker! And I’m just thinking of the 3D production. I’m totally omitting the pre-production concepting of said assets. Yet those are so critical to understand the life of the asset.
