Þank you, grand wizard, for using your mystical spells to make my render pipeline work

Are we twins? My tesis were with AI, neural networks, and my last job was working as a software engineer for a game dev company coding with Unity.

I feel like we are connected, but

🎓 ✨️ academically ✨️🎓

(do not let that asshole of a dev discourage you. He is probably afraid of competition and dont want new people getting in the field, a huge sign of a bad developer tbh)

oop 🤯 probably yeah lmao twin brains 🤪 my bachelor is just ai but i'm taking a course now on the side in game dev as well, so i'm not sure if i might pursue ai/game dev or just ai? or maybe just get a basic programming job without the ai lol 🫣 and yeah, i just don't get why you need to belittle someone just because they're a beginner 🙄

im on reddit doing hdrp vs urp research. remembered this post

who took this damn screenshot who was it

"Run."

Rendered in Unity with the HDRP pipeline Models made by me Background belongs to unity in the HDRP tutorial +earlier version I kind of like

[ourlittleuluru]

Oh boy... irl kept me busy these past couple of days (both work and new kinda last min art~) >~<;; couldn't post and also just go crazy about ALL the new announcements...

hoooo boy ⚆_⚆ was there so much announcements... discord's basically flooded

Let's just talk about the new features~ Which, as if this game isn't delulu enough, adds even more delulus~

But honestly, I think the new Quality Time feature would be like nice background/white noise for the times I feel like I need something in the background (and I don't want any YT videos, video essays or music. Ngl, I sometimes just open the game and leave Xavier's tender moments on just to get that nice ambience when trying to work in this sweltering... humid af... heat...)

Though I wonder for the Work option... What would Xavier be working on...? Zayne's gonna obviously be doing, well... his work... Rafayel's painting, I think, from one of the other screenshots... Is Xavier just gonna like, idk, read? Can't imagine what he might even be working on 🤣 maybe writing reports

But can I just say this (again) PAPERGAME'S ART TEAM PLEASE TEACH ME YOUR WAYS! I know people are going on about jiggle phyiscs and some... packages. But look here. The technique of the Technical Artist team to make the sweat glistening? And the sweat beads???? Hats off. To make it look like so nice ToT I wanna know how to achieve that look and feel too. How does one do this in Unity??? custom shaders? HDRP magic????

Ahem. anyways... uh... moving on. The new AR photoshoot feature (╹ڡ╹ )

Definitely gonna fuel ALL the delulus. Probably gonna try it only once to see how the changing positions work (and then never use it again, especially if I am gonna put myself in it :v )... I guess the tech for separating the background from main subjects are pretty solid at this day and age. But still, am curious how well it'll work.

Though, if I ever use the photoshoot feature and I have to edit the lighting... welp, there goes hours of my life 😂 gonna be stuck in that mode constantly trying to match the irl lighting and game lighting

Last but not least of the updates is Rafayel! Can I just say the Ultimate animation is just... phenomenal. (Please let Xavier's new myth Ult be just as cool. I mean, I love his current Ults but... would be nice to have a fancier one, ya know?)

Like the whole school of fishies and MC just casually riding on a whale to smite dem enemies 👌

One final thing. Rafayel's outfit. The back, with that spine that goes to his lower legs and ending with these fin looking things. That. That detail is nice. (it does remind me of the word Dolphin tail which leads me to think about Tifa and her dolphin tail hair though. Such brain tangents)

[the-64th-gamer]

Alright so for Pneumagination at some point soon I'm probably going to be attempting to branch the build into Built In Render Pipeline so I can try out TrueTrace and see if thats the best option going forward for rendering.

TrueTrace is actual path tracing, but also doesn't require RTX cards so it can be available to a wider audience. Unity's pathtracer sucks so bad and its RTGI/SSGI feel pretty lackluster- especially with the fact that reflections don't account for any RTGI bounces so interiors still look bad. TrueTrace seems to be able to pull off multiple bounces and still run fine, Unity dies when you try doing RTGI at 2 bounces.

Also while HDRP does let me use stuff like DLSS, it completely cuts out any complex shader making, and my current goal is having a Kuwahara filter for all objects, and then characters rendered cel-shaded ish with a drop shadow n such. HDRP would be hell to attempt this and probably would run worse too. Its not designed for path traced optimizations combined with stylization.

REVEIL: A Thrilling First-Person Game Coming to Linux and Steam Deck

REVEIL is a first-person thriller game headed to Linux and Steam Deck while launching on Windows PC. Thanks to Pixelsplit's creative talents for bringing this experience to life. Available today on Steam. The REVEIL release is all thanks to Pixelsplit and Daedalic Entertainment for collaborating, along with Arina Tara for the soundtrack. It's not just any music; it's a collection of original songs that echo the spine-tingling vibe of REVEIL's story. And if you're into music as much as I am, you'll want to check out the Funhouse Edition. It's not just the full soundtrack; it's an extra six songs. Plus, it's a great way to support both the developers and the artist. Now, speaking of support, here is what is happening with the native build:

We use Unity with HDRP. Our main goal with Linux was to have a native version of the game ready for Steam Deck.

A quick heads up for those looking to dive into REVEIL on Linux – there's a bit of a snag. The native version seems to have a memory leak issue that causes some crashes after playing for a bit. The team at Pixelsplit did the right thing and reached out to Unity about this hiccup a while back, but it seems like they're still waiting to hear back. But don't worry, Steam Deck users! There's a solid workaround. You can play the Windows version using Proton. It works smoothly and doesn't have that memory leak problem. So, while the Linux issue gets sorted out, you can still play the first-person thriller without a hitch Now, let's dive into what makes REVEIL stand out. It's a blend of visual allure and mental gymnastics. The puzzles are diverse, the clues are baffling, and the whole experience will also mess with your head. You're stepping into the shoes of Walter Thompson, and believe me, it's a wild ride.

REVEIL | FearFest Trailer

You'll be exploring Walter Thompson's psyche and past, which gets increasingly murky and mysterious. The deeper you go, the more you're caught in a whirlpool of deceptive images, memory fragments, and bizarre visions. It's a puzzle you can't help but want to solve, even as hope fades. Your main drive? Finding Martha and Dorie. You've got to stay sharp, and also look for clues, and hang onto your sanity. Now, let's talk features. REVEIL isn't just playing a role; it's a deep psychological journey that makes you question everything. It's spread across five acts, each set in uniquely crafted settings. The first-person story is immersive while offering various puzzles and riddles that keep you hooked. Plus, it's stunning – the visual experience is a #madewithunity style. The narrative layers are impressive while blending psychedelic, biographical, and unsettling elements. The atmospheric touches, like paintings and posters, also brings the '60s circus era to life. The Funhouse Edition launches today. It's more than just a game; it's an experience, especially with its 60s circus-inspired setting that morphs into something surreal. REVEIL first-person thriller showed up at the Future Game Show and Fear Fest on Steam. And now, the wait is almost over – it launches today, March 6th for Windows PC. But offers Proton support for Linux with an intent to offer a native build on Steam. It's also priced at $17.99 USD / £15.29 / 17,99€ with the 10% discount. Dive into and experience this mind-bending journey. It's not just about playing; it's about immersing yourself in a story that promises to be as haunting as it is intriguing.

First time on Unity HDRP with the new PC! 🥳

[bpdshan]

very randomly started doing some solo game dev. unity is wonderfully intuitive and im surprised at how fast i picked it up. i spent yesterday making a pretty HDRP scene with plenty of post processing.

the rock formation is a bunch of cylinders mashed together :3

[lagtrainzzz]

for reference:

0.5GiB of storage

88MiB of RAM

480p resolution

4.37GiB file size

60FPS (note: usually only 25FPS for PAL or 29.97FPS for NTSC)

32-bit (note: the wii actually ran on PPC rather than x86)

please, these aren't difficult standards to meet. you don't need 120fps and HDRP when opengles will do just fine.

game developers you are banished to wii hardware limits until you learn your lesson
