While a big problem, it’s also a pretty hilarious problem to have, to be honest. XD
Dave Gilbert@wadjeteyegames.com · 2w agoWe are aware that Steam has classified Nighthawks as an adult game and has excluded it from searches (and delisted it entirely in certain countries). We are working on it. Valve is under the impression that this game is way sexier than it actually is.
Stretching my proverbial legs a little with modelling. Trying out a mixed approach to trims by using one texture set for both trims and mesh decals. Not a novel approach, but I hadn’t done so previously. I’m enjoying myself. ((Note: keypad for the door is a reference asset off FAB, please ignore))
IT'S HAPPENING! I got official approval from Warner Chappell to release my brand-new piece: Uncharted Worlds - Extended Version. Now over 4 minutes of music, starting off with a slight twist on the original, then drifting off into new musical territory. More details soon!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Seriously guys. I can’t believe we’re even talking about this?! Born in the 80s never thought future discussions would look like THIS?! 🙈 Maybe it’s incomprehensible to individuals living today and thinking in a certain way, but in the 90s everyone would’ve looked at you like this

my chemical imbalance@apathysyndrome.bsky.social · last mo."oh but their art has murder in it, isn't that enough to be suspicious that maybe they support murder?" you don't assume an actor supports murder because they played a murderer in a film, the same should go for every other artist depiction of a thing in art is not an endorsement of the thing irl
This game is great. Run dungeons, then be a shop keeper and sell the items you find.
Bo Thompson@gaudipern.bsky.social · 2mo agoPsst: Moonlighter is free on Steam if you get it within the next 24 hours, apparently.
Optical convolution found in the wild. It's like bokeh in reverse.
They make sure they can change the definition and puts the(their) safeguards beforehand.

First time implementing something from a Research Paper. At first it looked really scary but after rereading the paper a few times i got it. Here is my implementation of GTAO (Ground Truth Ambient Occlusion) I had a blast doing this and even got more interested in everything around radiology.
I saw in a Git issue posted to @godotengine.org that a PR was merged which adds a Raytracing api, so one could in theory write RT shaders… in GD Script? Can’t lie, I find that to be a pretty wild - and fascinating - prospect. @demofox.bsky.social maybe I have another excuse to dust off that RT book!
I really need to set some time aside to study the Dune films. The way cinematography for that series captures the awesome and contrasting scale of objects in a scene is mind-boggling.
What To Learn To Be A Real Time graphics Programmer blog.demofox.org/2026/07/01/w... I wrote this up over lunch and it's surprisingly popular so sharing over here too.
Random ADHD thought-bubble pop-up: the Destiny from Stargate Universe is probably one of the coolest starships in science fiction, at least to me. The steam punk aesthetic for a 100,000+ year old starship was a really bold move and it worked astonishingly well for the narrative. 👀💭❤️

Learning @godotengine.org has been cool so far. I’m surprised to find GDScript fairly easy to learn with the ‘right tutorial’ to put my ADHD brain in the right space. Feels good to learn coding after being married to Blueprints for literally decades. I have my issues, but it’s been fun already! :)
Godot is probably the single most difficult example of game animation I’ve personally attempted so far. Holy smokes…
Been thinking and I’ve got a potentially hot take: The Steam Machine could have been an absolute top-selling banger regardless of its’ price, if they’d implemented Thunderbolt / an equivalent on the back panel, and / or an internal PCIE x16 port on the mainboard.
I wonder what the process is for ships and vehicles in Star Wars? They’re such bizarre shapes all glued together haphazardly, and yet… they work! I’d love to sort out that process, it’s so cool.
So friends, who’s doing cool shit with Godot? I wanna follow some Godot Engine peeps.
Possibly a hot take: my favourite time with Destiny 2 was the Curse of Osiris / Warmind era. Them Mars and Mercury vibes were pretty sick 💪👌
Whoa wtf 😢
Maya Media@mayamedia.bsky.social · 3mo ago💔💔 Daveigh Chase, star of ‘The Ring’ and the voice of Lilo in Disney’s ‘Lilo & Stitch,’ dies at 35. She was homeless and living in Los Angeles near the hospital where she died, the Los Angeles General Medical Center, according to her father www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Seeing as I don’t work there anymore I can make my opinions known. Keep Blueprints! They’re good! Verse certainly has its place in the FN ecosystem, but I don’t think it’s a substitute for BP in UE proper. c.org/pstFtWf5cJ

More lighting and material tests. One thing I’m not happy with in Godot is the quality of shadow-casting lights… it’s hard to get lights not to look… I guess “icky” is the only word I’ve got right now? My expectations are probably too high though, as an Unreal Engine refugee. We’ll see. :)
I’ve not even watched it, but sounds like I’m on the right track learning Godot…
Zero One@zeroone.bsky.social · 3mo ago"Uncreative if you don't use AI". I'm reading that's a thing somebody actually said? Live on stage? To a bunch of creatives? Who probably hate AI slop?
Another test for the funzies.
Starlit Snow@starlitsnow.bsky.social · 3mo agoPlaying with global illumination (VXGI) and emissives as a path to learn @godotengine.org… first real try at properly learning this. VXGI is definitely my favourite solution at the moment. This is on a 4K monitor running on my (very loud…) 14” rtx-5070 laptop.
