Hi everyone, today me and 22 others at Double Fine were hit by layoffs today. All the people who lost their jobs today care so much about the games they make and the people they work with. If anyone is looking for a tools SE with 7 years of experience and who brings baked goods on Mondays lmk.

Any cool international devs (preferably with a game released in the last year or so) interested in visiting Melbourne this year (for the small price of doing a short talk??)

TinyBVH has just been 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝟭.𝟴.𝟬. For CPU ray tracing, it is now the fastest option in most cases - Outperforming Intel Embree and Madmann91 for BVH build time and single-ray performance. On GPU, performance exceeds 4B rays per second - 4 rays per pixel at 4k/120Hz. github.com/jbikker/tiny...

Reminder that the coding help I need the most for Dear ImGui are related to tech that are foreign to me: Vulkan, OSX, Metal, Android, Linux. Many open issues/pr, need quality brain time, design time, explanations & reviews to close topics rather that have more opened: github.com/ocornut/imgu...

I don't do podcasts often so I was very nervous, but I had a swell time chatting with Jon and Sagar about adventure games and the complex push and pull between player and player character. Great fun! Check it out!

New Kaleidoscope episode! We're joined by @stirpicus.bsky.social (Fortnite, Minecraft: Story Mode) to talk about writing protagonists with strong personalities. How do we get the player to connect? And does it allow for more complex - even immoral - characters? www.inklestudios.com/kaleidoscope...

I have reserved this opinion for a long time but now the hater gates are open. Mario is set in 1981, a time where a New York plumber's access to guns was plentiful and based on a simple google search shows the surge of popularity around the Beretta 92 means Mario was surely carrying.
