I would upgrade the ferry and make sure to get a high quality one given all the swell in the ocean already (most of bali had 6ft+ waves yesterday) and this incident. Not worth the risk.

Agreed - I expected someone trying to render a simple object or scene and was pleasantly surprised.

I love this post because it goes well beyond "can I render 3d graphics on this device" and into "how can i play with the combo of art and rendering tech to get a nice looking scene on this device. Very cool, thanks for sharin

Dig the site layout. Left nav is interesting, glow around screenshots is a nice touch.

One more idea.. You've worked across great companies and great games. If you were going back now to your former self striking out to ship your first commercial game, what are the 3-4 pieces of wisdom you wish you'd internalized ba

I'm sure it will flow when the time comes :P For me.. the most interesting part of the whole Warcraft saga would be more discussions around the arguments/design decisions of.. "we should include ___." For example... War2

Awesome - i've been meaning to look into ableton live plugins or Max. Would love to use my software background to improve my production workflow.

Lots of fun toys. Nothing productive :D Revamped my blog to have a funky 3d background and animated cursor after years of minimalism: https://bdickason.com A little screensaver inspired by After Dark: https://bdickaso

I just found your blog yesterday reading up on the stories of how Warcraft and Starcraft were made!! Have been hacking on small games and a tool to build 3d environments for a while and get very inspired by hearing stories from back in the

"my only claim to fame from that time is that I’m part of the final member list of ACiD Productions under BBS Modifications." This is a pretty rad credential. ACiD and iCE were hugely influential in my early career and I looked up

Thanks this is helpful! I started my project without cargo at first and tried to start writing code without a cargo.toml. I was surprised that cairo didn't default to 2021 until I specified it in the .toml file. Good point that cargo i

I recently spun up a project in Rust (a small game using Bevy) and the main issues I ran into were around smart defaults for the compiler. I was surprised how many lines I had to add to my cargo.toml to just complete a simple game example.

I've been using Godot off and on for the past month prototyping a mobile game. The editor loads/refreshes very quickly on a macbook air m1 (which hasn't been the case w/ Unity of late). The workflow is intuitive and for

This is very cool. I love the focus on builders and do think there's a gap in easy to use 2d web-friendly game engines currently. Phaser still requires a ton of boilerplate code compared to the example games here. Both Godot and Unity

As someone who previously found art very inaccessible, I loved diving in with p5 and feeling like I finally found a medium (gen art) that I can freely create and experiment within.

This was a really popular project. For those who haven’t poked around generative art recently, check out artblocks.io. You buy a piece of art (limited edition) and it creates a unique (randomized) piece for you on the spot. Pretty rad. (I d

Heavy user of ETH, SOL, Polygon (MATIC). I don’t think it’s as simple as ‘eth or solana.’ I suspect that multiple chains will be useful for different applications. For example, games which want super low latency will want a solution like so

Hey! Author here :D I'll try to describe this in a bit more detail: Zero-to-one is a type of product which is created from scratch. At many companies, there are existing products and you add features or improve them to grow them. There
