Ok so @CapnRat and I took a little peek at the @DianaInitiative group CTF and ended up absolutely enraptured (totally a word!) in it all day! I'm pretty sure there was a great conference somewhere around us, alas!

After talking with folk this past week: If you want to grow your company in an industry where you need to hire talent that has worked on competing products, maybe don’t bash on those products. Why would someone want to work for you if you constantly belittle their past work?

You can be critical of the companies, totally. I know I am! But the products themselves are personal achievements for those who worked on them. And you’ll need those people on your side to get ahead.

Saddened to see more talented ex-colleagues laid off this week…

If any ex-Unity people (or current Unity people) want to have an exploratory chat about Guerrilla or the Decima Engine feel free to reach out to me! We’ve got a bunch of positions open!

just found some code that says "'endian': True"

someone needs to ban programmers from booleans

Oh hey, I'll be at GDC all next week! If you want to talk console ports and how to handle them, especially if you're a small indie team, hit me up!

#GDC #GDC2023 #indie #gamedev

Graphics programmers, any good books or papers on modern GPU memory management techniques (ideally focused on #Vulkan )? Not thrilled with continuously finding “just use VMA” all over the internet.
After 4 years, we have made it back to SF for #GDC2023 ! Looking forward to seeing old indie friends, Unity friends, and future Guerrilla friends!

A few years ago we organized a small conference on renderer architecture and then brought it as a course at SIGGRAPH 2021. This year we will make it an open virtual conference, available to all to attend. I'm happy to announce the Rendering Engine Architecture Conference 2023 is happening virtually June 5th and 6th! Please go to our site to register and even submit a talk:

(Co-organised with: @kenpex, @stevemcauley and Mike Vance.) Join us!
