Applying per vertex ambient occlusion to generated meshes.

Comparison of two different billboard resolutions. Left sample runs at roughly 40fps, whilst the right one runs at 70fps (both at 1440p on a mobile 1050). Many optimizations to be done, like custom compute occlusion and shader optimizations.
Left: 256x1024
Right: 8x32

GPU Instanced billboard rendering in Unity with HDRP. Billboards support fake lighting. Implemented a capture tool that creates a fake camera that captures albedo and normal information for 1 frame during init from the GBuffer to use in automatic billboard generation.

Got persistent global edits that are applied to ALL LODs. Use a segmentation system where 512 chunks are saved in a segment with a bit index for each chunk stating if it has been modified or not. This then gets sent to the Job system to 'apply' the modifications onto new chunks.

Alright time to make a new game engine in Rust again.
One of the major issues that I must fix is prototyping speed (compilation time, iteration time). So I'll probably need to rewrite some (or even completely) remove my custom internal crates for ones with widespread support.

I want MORE game dev friends to talk to!

Old vid of the terrain demo when the engine was still using raw OpenGL and CPU based meshing.

I made my own engine for Minecraft.

Implementing the rest of the game is a much bigger time investment than making the engine.

There is no middleware for innovation.

I am currently hiring a #rust #javascript #typescript engineer to work on GDLauncher full time.
Ideally the candidate knows both. DM me if interested.

Old CPU based terrain (in me custom game engine) before the WGPU rewrite (was using OpenGL).

Hey #Unity , just take a 5% cut.

I don't mind fees. I mind instability and bureaucracy. I don't want to look through several tables and charts just to figure out how your new pricing model works. 😅 (My five cents of unity frustration.)

Really, don't invest your whole life on one piece of software. I've been doing this for a long time, and seen a lot of tech come and go. Was huge in Flash in the early 2000's and my career was ended when Steve Jobs killed it. After being burned so many times I decided it was just…
