Disco Elysium is great! Never finished it though so far... might need to pick it back up.
You should definitely check out Citizen Sleeper for your list :)
Currently playing through the 2nd part

Oh nice, our talk made it to Graphics Programming weekly, how cool is that?! Achievement unlocked I guess? :)
Graphics Programming weekly - Issue 431 - March 8th, 2026 www.jendrikillner.com/post/graphic...
Our GPC 2025 talks are up on YT now!

Hope you have fun reading it! Ask away or shoot feedback to us for the Doom articles :)
We had a chance to contribute to this amazing book series with two articles and even a cover image. I hope everyone enjoys reading this book as much as we enjoyed writing it!
Unfortunately I won't be at GDC this year after all but Philip will cover both of our individual talk parts with ease - be sure to say hi to him!
Come check out our GPC slides about some of our Doom rendering techniques! YT video will likely follow soon as well
Slides are up for our talk at the Graphics Programming Conference (GPC), with @domlaz.bsky.social and myself. #GPC25 #DOOM

Together with @phammer.bsky.social , we'll be at GDC 2026 talking about some of the idTech 8 rendering tech we worked on for DOOM: The Dark Ages. Will be my first GDC, so I'm really looking forward to it! :)

www.graphicsprogrammingconference.nl might be a good fit for this - IIRC you're also based in EU currently? :)
Super cool! I'm really enjoing the game so far - huge congrats to the entire team.
Would be very interested in hearing a conference-talk about this tech and its early prototypes some time :)
Together with @phammer.bsky.social, we'll talk about some of the rendering optimizations using triangle visibility buffers and VRS on Doom: The Dark Ages at GPC 2025. Hope to see some of you there!

Had a great time at the Doom release party in downtown Dallas last night with a bunch of the other engine guys. Met most of the US-side team face to face for the first time since joining id a few years ago - awesome people!

Yepp, indeed all projected-grid screenspace still, both for Doom and Indy. We do use some tricks to get around some limitations, like temporally reprojecting grid vertices to last frame to reduce aliasing under motion, but not perfect. We might switch to world-tessellation at some point.
Check out some of the tech we‘ve been adding for idTech 8 these past years. Really proud to be part of this amazing team!
Doom: The Dark Ages releases tomorrow, thumbs pressed people will enjoy some beautiful visuals and decent performance.

Sure! You can use e.g. tex2DGrad(.. ddx, ddy) with manually-computed derivatives.
If you re-order the compute shader threads to be in a morton-like order, you can use e.g. subgroupQuadSwapHorizontal/Vertical() to compute derivatives
Confirmed that this is indeed the software-VRS that's in place here. We're investigating some options to mitigate these places.
Its using a form of software-VRS instead
Hmmm, not 100% sure these are VRS issues, actually - could also come from the upscale sharpening or so. Thanks for pointing it out - fwding it with the team and we'll investigate
We‘ve finally shared some extensive look at Doom: The Dark Ages
Couldn‘t be more proud to be part of this team!

Just received my own physical copy, congrats on the release!
However, my copy seems to include some faulty pages of a different book in the middle? Or is it expected to include advertisements of some sorts?
