Sage advice….

This is a post from Michal Nowakowski, one of the joint CEOs of CDPR. Without Bioware, CDPR might not have created Witcher 1. Without Witcher 1, there is no Witcher 2 nor 3 nor Cyberpunk 2077. This is the level of Bioware's influence, and the size of today's loss to RPG gaming.

Very heavy news as our former studio, BioWare closes its doors today. It was a formative place for many. However, many former BioWare devs are scattered around the industry. Find them, support them. Like, follow, comment and help us prove there is still support for the types of games we make!

Devastating news to wake up to. Thanks, EA.

For my birthday, @fallingoutside.bsky.social got me the Hubble telescope 😁

Lurker 🐈‍⬛

Doing some more iteration on the visuals, added tonemapping and self-shadowing to the clouds. It's great to see this running at 60fps inside the browser, even when propagating all ~30k orbital objects. #webgpu #space

Been re-working the UI to take some inspiration from NASA's 1975 Graphics Standards. Perhaps I can get a copy for Christmas? standardsmanual.com/products/nas... @fallingoutside.bsky.social 👀

Incredibly sad to hear Margaret Hamilton has passed away. I wish I had had the chance to meet her, but she was a hugely inspiring figure throughout my life.

Margaret Hamilton has died. Absolute legend, it was my honour to meet her and have a conversation with her just a few years ago, super nice and still sharp. Ave atque vale Margaret. news.mit.edu/2026/margare...

What's up?

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

I need to make something very, very clear. If we are in a Zoom interview and your pet interrupts, you never EVER have to apologize. Instead, please introduce them so I can greet them properly. Thank you for your time.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

Added support for rendering the orbits of the selected / hovered objects. Another to-do list item down :) #space

Variable names are: irez, d2201, d2211, d3210, d3222, d4410, d4422, d5220, d5232, d5421, d5433, dedt, didt, dmdt, dnodt, domdt, del1, del2, del3, e3, ee2, se2, se3, sgh2, sgh3, sgh4, sh2, sh3, si2, si3, sl2, sl3, sl4, xgh2, xgh3, xgh4, xh2, xh3, xi2, xi3, xl2, xl3, xl4, gsto, xfact... Send help.

Still lots to do, but got ~27k out of ~30k orbital objects propagating in real-time inside the browser. Praise #webgpu and compute shaders.

I just remembered I can literally paint whatever I want onto ships

Singapore-based Wigetworks is hoping to create a modern version of the ekranoplan.

Some more photos. I read that they are restoring a LUN for a museum. Ecranoplan are basically ground effect vehicles, a cross between a plane and a hovercraft.

Sketchin’ some ships

Going to replace the keplerian propagation with proper SGP4 - looks like a good candidate to go into a compute shader, as each satellite is an independent calculation.

Still open for work! I’m going through some challenging life circumstances at the moment and, honestly, I’m in a place where I need to bring in a more substantial income. I’m very much ready to roll up my sleeves, hit me up.

Finally, it is all coming together. Simulating >30K objects in #space from real data, using #webgpu in a custom engine. Using Space-Track and Celestrak as data sources.

Legit….

If you're wondering why you often can't get to CelesTrak lately, it is because we are dealing with a surge of users using software that blatantly violates our usage policy (celestrak.org/usage-policy...). We are working to clean up the mess, but they are making the site unusable for everyone.

Ok ladies, and men in the know about these things... is there a name for the style shown in the images below (sides tied back)? Are there different terms used depending on whether the side bits are straight, plaited, twisted?

This is a cat checkpoint; relinquish your most recent cat picture. He's still a little uncomfortable: anything less than 3 pillows is barely acceptable as a sleeping spot.

Artists! Quote with your most detailed art! Nearly a thousand reference photos taken. Ever stur and bolt I could see included. The Lovell radio telescope at Jodrell Bank.

It was easier to print some paperwork from my Linux machine than my wife's Windows PC. I was not prepared for this.

Another friendly reminder to devs to include an option to invert the vertical axis in first person and third person games. Too many games out there missing this option, and if you're lucky, one in every hundred might respond to the request to add it. If only there was a reliable workaround :\

Cool video of the Artemis II Orion capsule separating from the European Service Module. This footage is from the GoPro HERO4 Black cameras installed on the ESM's solar arrays. The wobble in the second shot is from the jolt imparted to the ESM as Orion separates. Credit: NASA

enough. i’m tired of github actions. it’s time for github consequences

"The Ghost in the Shell" anime series by Science Saru is coming on July 7 (Prime Video). New trailer >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=yedJ...

I should be trying to fix a regression in Hexterminate but there's nothing I can do. Sorry, players 😭 #gamedev

Mountain flight through my mountain forest terrain at a few different altitudes. This one has the improved erosion on the cliff sides, and tweaked camera flight behavior. #ProcGen #GameDev

How did they get this picture of me?
