9 years ago while learning 3D/Unreal I posted this gif on Twitter and started a chain reaction that led me to working in video games for real. #gamedev

Thank you so much for sharing this! Can't overstate how generous it is for you to have put in all this work & to have shared it with the community. You're awesome!
Rune is very kindly making a gigantic contribution to the procgen community by sharing his exploration into erosion techniques. GPU-acceleratable, chunk-friendly erosion is a problem that has led me to mainly late nights, the info here is immense and thorough, please show him some love!
My erosion filter is out! Video, blog post, and shader source.
It emulates erosion without simulation, so it's fast, GPU friendly, and trivial to generate in chunks.

Trying to pack everything into one small carry-on suitcase for a week at GDC is insane bc what do you mean I can't fit twenty pairs of underwear in case I accidentally shit myself nineteen times
That's p much it. Imagining working on the tech to make a tactics game in Unreal. Probably won't do it, but it sounds so fun to work on.

I can assure you that small/not-AAA studios are a decent chunk of casework and not immune to the bullshit the big companies can throw on workers.
Sometimes they're worse!
