We were at the game awards with a new trailer!
We’re so excited to share the world premiere of Out of Words, a beautiful stop-motion co-op game! #TheGameAwards

I was quite displeased with how the grass shading looked in The Orb demo for Detis, so I’ve been experimenting with a couple of improvements.
First, I reduced the texel size of the cascaded shadow maps to be slightly shorter than the medium-sized grass blades so grass geometry actually receives shadowing (2nd screenshot). But still this felt like a hack and I wasn't completely satisfied.
So I introduced screen space contact shadows (3rd screenshot) which finally gave the foliage the shading depth it lacked.
This update will be included in the upcoming demo patch alongside some other cool details.
A playable showcase built with @DetisEngine is now live!
Download it free on Itch io (link in replies).
The Orb is a brief, atmospheric walk-sim created to demonstrate the engine runtime in action, not a game. There’s a narrative presence and the world reacts to you, but no formal objectives, so just explore and immerse yourself in its world.
The engine toolset itself drops very soon.

My friend Jotson's game The Mailroom is out now! If you like "cozy horror" type games, I recommend it! I've enjoyed playing so far, lots of little touches and humor and interactive objects!

Box3D now has dynamic character mover support. This is useful for games with lots of physics interactions.

In Baldur's Gate 3 you can be trans and queer and that game sold over 20 mil copies. The chuds saying the reason Bioware didn't sell well with their recent games was because of "activism" are absolutele delusional troglodytes the need to go outside.

The audacity to feed Machinarium assets to AI, make AI slop animations, and call it a love letter…
Love letters are supposed to be handwritten. This looks disgusting and has nothing to do with us or our craft.

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games.
You've got my support 💖

Konami president Hayakawa believes AI “won’t bring a significant change” to the game market. “Humans” and “creators” are crucial for developing innovative games

Me: "If you want to be better at programming stop focusing on efficiency and focus more on your personal process."
Comments: "Wrong! Efficiency is what our corporate overlords demand of us. They define what a 'Good Programmer' is!"
Me: Exactly, don't be like this guy.
