Adding some environment sounds. I'm always impressed by how much sound design affects the overall experience!

@lisyarus this is super true, and yet audio gets very little love in professional game dev!

@SonnyBonds @lisyarus I think that's true, and is also what a graphics person told me when i was an audio programmer a bunch of years ago hehe

Me thinking about making a game solo...

  1. I got the tech covered, been a specialist in so many areas of game dev.
  2. can't make art (damnit)
  3. I know enough audio and music stuff to know I would like to be better at it but didn't invest the time (damnit)
  4. business- what??

@demofox@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

I think I could sort out business enough... probably. Art and music/audio are the hard parts.

@demofox@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@MartianDays i see you. Art budget is "exposure" and level of exposure is very small haha. Going to keep this in mind though if something that might be appropriate pops up.

Multi Arm Bandits
A very cool article from Martin Roberts (creator of the R2 low discrepancy sampling sequence).
This talks about how to choose between N choices, and learn over time. Also talks about exploration vs exploitation. Also has a novel algorithm that seems to beat the competition!

Lock your doors. Barricade the gates. Cover your head and wait until the slaughter is over.

A new game is coming soon.

What do you think the genre is?

Was changing some rtx code and my screen went black. Maybe a sign I should stop working for the night :P

The simple fact that our bodies are not self-cleaning is the biggest argument against creation, IMO.

"ndeed if you already have blue noise of the right size, you can use that to mildly speed up the search for more"
I've hit this in some ideas i've had too - using blue noise to make better other blue noise. It reminds me of how modern nukes us the smaller, older style nukes to set off a larger explosion :P

@WaitForPresent been thinking about this. Nyquist? or maybe nyquist minus epsilon? 😂

@demofox@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@breakin @WaitForPresent yeah, you think you can go deeper but then you are through the looking glass and everything reverses!

Here's the noise write up + webgpu tool I've been working on:

@unconed real cool! I scanned it and this is super interesting. Can't wait to dive in deeper!

demofox,
@demofox@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@unconed The introduction and motivation is real nice. Concise but says the important things. Really surprised denoising people haven't jumped on these ideas more :P

demofox,
@demofox@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@unconed omg this rings so true. Watching noise generate is so grueling! And by the time it's done you've already realized why it's no good sometimes haha... ugh

demofox,
@demofox@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@unconed This is soo good, im learning a bunch. Thanks for sharing this.

Trump is trying to litigate his cases in the court of public opinion. But for all his bluster, none of it matters inside the court. His statements to the press are not statements under oath, and the judges and juries will not consider them.

The legal walls are closing in. And he knows it.

@demofox@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@georgetakei hope so. People have been saying it for years :/

I like this idea of a tag when you want to talk about a game you just finished playing. It's more specific to playing than which applies to any activity.

Mastodon's lack of text search means we need more interesting hashtags to find topics. I feel awful about spamming tags at the end of a post, so finding tags people actually use are more important.

@idbrii we just have to watch out for overlap with Michael Jackson fans

This morning I'm feeling tempted to take a bunch of those "ad bait" mobile games and turn them into the games they should be. Many of them have compelling ideas, but they are hamstrung by their business model needing to be predatory.
Make the real game, sell for a couple bucks, profit?

demofox,
@demofox@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@dickyjim I'm thinking like just making a bazillion of these lil games quickly, but make them to be fun, instead of predatory, as the primary goal.
Like imagine a perpetual game jam making 3$ games.
