Giuseppe "Juice" Modarelli 🏹 Tides of Revival RPG

As someone who still prefers to make games in a custom engine I wrote, the code is kind of an inseparable part of a game's character, decisions about engine structure and every little bit of code have ripples that can absolutely be felt in the end product, even if hard to pick out specifics

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

I wrote my first Haiku today "I, a programmer a tech artist and a nerd Can't log into Teams" Sorry to all the poets and poetry enjoyers out there!

"We vibe coded a new Epic Games Launcher" because "programming is hard", announce company we're somehow supposed to see as a serious Steam competitor https://bit.ly/4hMHbi5

Jacob Geller is no longer a part of MinnMax. He won't be on content moving forward and we won't be publicly airing this week's episode of The MinnMax Show. We're in shock and deeply hurt. Thank you for your patience during this sensitive time.

Hey there friends! Unfortunately, I was among those impacted by layoffs at Heart Machine last week. If you or someone you know is looking for an experienced Unreal Engine Technical Artist, I'm available for full time, part time, or contract opportunities.

Kala Paint is out! I'm @olawson.bsky.social , professional artist for 15 years, then game dev, now wrote the painting software I wish I'd been using all this time. GPU-run creamy brushes, no subscription, no gen AI crap, hand-coded with ideas from artists in our Discord, and more added weekly!

Environment test. Little too bright for the horror vibe I have in my head, but we'll get there.

South of Midnight is 35% off for the first time on PS5, until tomorrow! We’re indie again, and every purchase directly supports Compulsion and our next project.❤️

ICYMI: 🚨 AMNESIA FORTNIGHT IS BACK 🚨  It's a Kickstarter. It's a game jam. It's a documentary. It's a game jam documentary Kickstarter! Get notified when we launch on Aug 31:

i understand if people are pressured to use LLMs for work. you gotta eat, it's hierarchical, usage may be monitored, i get it. but if you bring that shit home it's different! that actually is a personal endorsement. you don't have to use your own projects to normalize unethical corporate projects.

The amazing Sandi Toksvig says #TransRights at #Pride.

trans rights motto / Twin Peaks reference in the background of Remedy's CONTROL: RESONANT promo image, happy pride :')

Welcome to Flame, Forest & Flood, our (@fairymountgames.bsky.social) cozy three‑player strategy showdown where simple rules hide a surprising amount of “oh no, you didn’t” depth.

Here's a real proper pro #gamedev tip. Emojis and all! If you are: - adding a thing to a list in a file (C-includes, list of abilities or enemies, functions...) - and the order isn't important ⭐Add the thing alphabetically! 💩NOT AT THE END. Why? There are three very good reasons!

The SDL organization has an official position on LLMs and generative AI now: don't use it. github.com/libsdl-org/S...

About 6 months ago, I publicly announced that I would be boycotting #SIGGRAPHAsia 2026. Today, I released a video explaining my rationale and calling on others to do the same, because I believe it is important. Here it is: youtu.be/bZ6s0-EQp8M

Excited to share that GPU Zen 4: Advanced Rendering Techniques is officially out. This volume features work from some of the most visually impactful projects of recent years, including #AssassinsCreed , #DOOM , #StarwarsOutLaws and NVidia's Zorah. And a killer cover :)

This is a big moment! I never imagined I'd release a game that would be out on consoles, but here we are. I'd appreciate a little love and re-skeets if you're willing -- Vampire Therapist has changed my life but it's a tough sell of a game sometimes, therapy being a scary thing for many!

It’s difficult not to lose faith when so much of the system is rigged against support for Palestine in the UK, but god damn, this feels like a massive, vital win.

There is a pretty good way to evaluate if a producer is good: Are they offloading work from the team and making sure they can focus on the development.. ..or are they making the team do work *for the producer*, e.g. filling out jiras, reporting work, following rituals and procedures.

I've been working for a quite a while now on the GPU-driven renderer for Tides of Revival and it's really nice to finally see results like these 💚It wouldn't have been possible without the help of @srekel.net

I just posted the yearly update video for Tides of Revival, our little CRPG side project that has a big big world! www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1nE...

For my holiday break project I’ve been sketching out an idea to help soften the on-ramp for beginners learning D3D12: a header file that (very lightly) wraps the D3D12 API and only exposes the latest/most-useful bits through straightforward function definitions with ImGui-style inline documentation.

Pretty disappointed in both @humblebundle.com and especially in @girlswhocode.bsky.social. Please teach girls how to code, don't push them into generative AI. That won't build their skills. Prioritize foundational programming skills and awaken their interest. "Tired of long days writing code"???

Last week was my last week at Iron Gate - After three years working on Valheim, it's time to start looking for new adventures elsewhere. If you know someone looking for a kickass Tech Artist/Programmer, hit me up. Happy to work either remote, or on-site in Stockholm. Portfolio's at dahnberg.se

I've implemented a GPU-driven debug line renderer for Tides based on this great article by @belgianrenderer.gijskaerts.com www.gijskaerts.com/wordpress/?p.... Now I can debug why my GPU-driven LOD selection doesn't work 😅

We've just finished another iteration on Tides! This one took three months to do. @gmodarelli.com's renderer is more GPU driven and I have gotten a long way on the release's gameplay goals! We have a more stuff we wanna do and then release something playable in December! bsky.app/profile/srek...
