Apart from some bug fixes and some other stuff, next HAZE version will feature a subtractive mode for density volumes, using their own density to carve away at the existing fog 🌫

Combined with the previous update that means you can have point lights dissolving the fog! 💡

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Deepfake-Videos zeigen Frauen, die gewürgt oder getötet werden, realistisch, künstlich, grausam. Plattformen wie TikTok, X und Tools wie Sora 2 sehen zu, während Gewalt zur Simulation wird. Diese Clips bedienen echte Gewaltfantasien und werden millionenfach geteilt.
