@reedbeta @tom_h_h @benjamin ahh yeah that makes sense. Presumably this is most useful for increased shadow resolution - is that going to be superseded by ray traced lighting soon? Asking as an audio person who is GPU curious 😅

@tom_h_h @reedbeta @benjamin nice article! My only question is why hasn’t it always been reverse Z?

This is a post I wrote a little while ago internally for the team I was on all about reverse z (it took me longer than I'd like to admit to wrap my head around it 😅🙈). Hopefully, someone finds it helpful! https://tomhultonharrop.com/mathematics/graphics/2023/08/06/reverse-z.html

Heavily inspired by the work of @reedbeta and @benjamin

Reverse Z (and why it’s so awesome)

@smurthys Unreal Engine! And most video game engines tbh. Nothing beats it for speed and portability

Me and Matteo Cerquone are talking about the sound of #SomervilleGame today 11:15 at Develop Conference! The session is called “I Know What You Did Last Somerville” because I’m awful and insisted we name it with a pun. Hope you can make it over if you’re around in Brighton! #GameAudio

Jusant is incredible. It's a platforming game about rope climbing in principle, but,

I've never seen anything like it. Artistically, narratively, mechanically, there is nothing else even close to like it. It's utterly new, and shockingly good.

There is a demo.

I recommend it. I uninstally it inside 5 minutes once I saw how hard this was going to go. I don't want to ruin it for myself. My jaw was on the floor, as I worked through the world and game they're laying out.
