I agree.

Although not need for my current game, I added a 1st person character controller demo to my engine. Just for completeness sake 😀. Collision geometry is generated automatically. youtu.be/OQ1UflbcSr0

Who needs GTA VI, just make your own 😀. Doing some stress testing on my engine using a large city scene. youtu.be/X8LZRrDERdI

Little update on physics. It's now super easy to define rigid bodies directly in blender and import them together with any scene. youtu.be/l6s699qZF7k

Do your CPU a favor, stop thinking in terms of one at a time. Write code that takes lists of inputs and produces lists of output. Just stop doing the default OOP thing, don't call millions of functions on one object. Call one function on millions of objects instead.

I see multi-threading / parallelism done wrong so often. Don't use a single resource and lock it with a mutex. Use one resource batch per job/thread and when you are done, just collect all your results. If you need a mutex on a resource, re-think your design first.

object oriented programming

Some years ago computer science used to be a serious science. But the recent AI hype seems to have transformed parts of the the field into a circus of lies and deception. Sad.

Stop using per object callbacks. They are stupid, they are dumb, they should be declared a a total anti-pattern. Even more so once threads are involved.

I think this whole thread is a good case for having your own tech as a company, if you can afford it. The company I used to work for ditched their own tech in favor of unity just to find out that the TCO increased, games took a lot longer to make and finding talent wasn't easier.

Good time to bring back stable anti-aliasing IMO. flo | paryonix shows an MSAA+temporal example here: youtube.com/watch?v=g9Ubmt…

"To know, and not do, is still not to know" Attributed to many - not considered by many, especially not on (tech) twitter.

"dos-like" is a mini-engine/framework I made a couple of years ago. It makes it easy to make games and other things with a 90s MS-DOS look and feel, but using a modern C compiler and running on Windows, Linux, macOS and in the browser using WebAssembler.

The state of modern (web) software is embarassing. My old PC (Q9950) runs The Witcher 3 with almost 60fps, but MS Teams is a freakin slide show. It is practically unusable. Except for voice chat most and even more features were already present in IRC clients 25 years ago.
