I'm a fan of the genre "sleek and elegant UI/product concepts which are actually completely impractical in practice". I once tried to replicate the Tron Legacy computer UI as an OpenGL application and even wrote a full GPU-accelerated terminal emulator to be the center piece

Couldn’t do that with the old OpenGL based renderer, so will be exciting to write a properly separated renderer that can function on a seperate thread.

e.g. I’ve done React and OpenGL; having Claude do the nuts and bolts of Tanstack Start or PixiJS isn’t a stretch. And I’ve done enough assembly and heapless programming that I am confident I could tell Claude to make a Genesis game and it’d be able to make the code work.
But if I was guessing? Ehhh

hey everyone! hope you all had a great halloween 🎃
i've still been working on my 3d pixel art game engine on and off. heres what i added
- pixel art outlines on objects (thanks @davidhol.land for helping me out!)
- swaying grass
- camera zoom and rotation
more to come! 🍃

This is the download page for the NEW modern Mythruna Test Engine. The original Mythruna1 engine was developed back in 2011-2012 and development slowed after my wife got brain cancer. Over the year...

Specifically, when I started the ui retooling I was using OpenGL; now I’m using Niobium and the entire window-renderer abstraction could really use a complete overhaul so that I can properly add support for popovers and such…

Software mode Half Life was how I first saw the game in 1999, and I do actually prefer how it looks to Opengl/3DFX'd HL.

btw this is the character mod i made it myself :D

Iteration time slowed when loading these big Earth images (so mostly I've been loading small proxies), but I finally finished my DDS loader and swapped to that. Still around 2 seconds startup time. Maybe do background loading? But around ~1 second until window even appears; ~0.5 is starting OpenGL.

that settles it, I am switching back to playing games in software renderer only

Every time I bang out a fun prototype on visionOS I'm a bit annoyed that OpenXR is closer to Vulkan than it is to OpenGL. Also that there isn't a D3D11 for Android, Metal kinda hits the API sweet spot on perf vs ease of use.

Plus précisément, c'est un système de conception qui permet d'exposer une partie d'un système pour qu'il soit utilisé par un autre.
Les applications desktop utilisent en permanence des API. Par exemple les applis graphiques utilisent OpenGL ou Vulkan pour communiquer avec le GPU.

long story short i'm trying to make my workflow more consistent and true to the original colors while simultaneously upgrading to a newer version of the program and starting to use actual color spaces. my current workflow involves screenshotting. i need openGL export to eliminate the screenshotting.

is there ANY way to get the same function as Export OpenGL Frames from ToonBoom Harmony, but in ToonBoom Storyboard Pro instead? i own SBP but not Harmony and i can't justify buying Harmony just for file export, but it seems like they could have just hit a button and put this in SBP :/

I'm trying to do a implementaion of a very basic game engine like R-Cade from Racket in Common Lisp. My problem is now that the best thing of Common Lisp, the image based REPL driven development is very hard to achieve because SDL (or, to be more precise OpenGL and Vulkan) really want to be rendered

Say what? I can force Godot 4.5.1 to run under OpenGL, then open the project and set the rendered to 'compatibility'? My laptop sounds like it's going to take off, but this is huge progress. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot

Currently working on a Kingdom Hearts-like prototype and blocking out what I’d like the character to be able to do. I’m really trying to get a similar game feel to KH1 mixed with KH2, and I’d say that’s going pretty well so far.
