My global illumination is good enough (for now), so I reworked my water shader and what better place to test it than poolrooms?

This morning, improvements to device initialization. Also finished off the primary-secondary device system. Initially, secondary devices will be used to offload certain compute tasks.

Also the beginning of a useful render metrics GUI!

Day 4 aboard the station 🚀
Built the frame timer + FPS counter for the DreamAgain DX Engine.

Now we actually know how fast the engine is running… instead of guessing 👀

#gamedev #indiedev #gameengine #coding #programming

Welcome screen of the game block block block with a title saying Usagi - FPS 60 - run : 0.47ms

After a looooot a bugs and some additional grey hair.. we're now rocking LuaJit on an optimised engine! With direct access to the virtual memory from the Lua!
Usagi has never been so fast 0.47ms on Block Block Block ! This same game was running at 6 ms a week ago!

S&Box game engine: looking closer at grains of sand The market for modern game engines is steadily growing; more and more studios are choosing smaller engines rather than one of the two major players (or, given recent events, just one). Today, let′s...

We’ve checked engines like Godot, Flax, Dagor, Unity, and others. When a game engine starts picking up interest, it's hard to ignore, so here's what we found in S&Box

After months of testing and tweaking, I've finally versionned my GI using spherical harmonics.
Now that it's done, I can move on and experiment other stuff like specular occlusion.
For this, I recreate a test scene from @passivestar.bsky.social

This weekend, I've been working on stability and render performance. Now at a point where 40000 entities can be drawn/updated. A massive increase from the 1500 in last week's post.

A game’s performance doesn’t start at the content layer.
It starts with the engine.

We partner with studios to optimize, extend, or build the systems that keep production moving and performance stable.

Strong foundations ship better games.

Lemonate is part of Prof. Dr. Kevin Gonyop Kim's workshop today at the FHNW (University of Applied Science in North-West Switzerland).

The students will be introduced to Lemonate and get to play around with this project one of our programmers created for them! 😊
