Rare ducc political post:

The #StopKillingGames movement fights the anti-consumer practice of selling video games with an expiration date.

If you live in the EU or UK, there is a European Citizens' Initiative or a petition to the UK government that you can sign to help.

Made a surface nets compute shader for s&box.

Here, it's generating a new mesh each frame to cover some metaballs that are moving around.

I have some fun ideas for where I want to take this project!

Made a simple Verlet rope/cloth physics simulation with collision for my s&box Tech Jam 1 entry.

Anyone can play it here:
sbox.game/duccsoft/rop...

The integration and collision resolution happen in a compute shader. I generate SDF volume textures to support mesh collisions.

Day 10/34 of making rope physics for the
#sbox
Tech Jam.

Verlet rope isn't too hard, as there are many examples and tutorials online. The part where I needed to get creative was resolving point vs mesh collisions. It's glitchy right now, but I've learned lots about compute shaders.

Made a lava lamp simulator in s&box.

You can play it now: sbox.game/duccsoft/lav...

The lava blobs are SDF spheres with smooth min, ray marched in a shader.

I'll expose more simulation parameters to the player once I make further progress on a certain UI library...

s&box Weekly Review for the week of 2024/11/04

Better late than never, right? I talk about some more updates to the engine and gush about some experimental water.

.NET 9 has been released, and is already supported in s&box. Be sure to update to Visual Studio 17.12.0 unless you want problems!

Posted another episode of the s&box Weekly Review.

This time, I discuss the work-in-progress dedicated server support, using GameObjects in Hammer, upcoming player avatar features, and more.

I've released a video describing some of this week's changes and work-in-progress features in s&box - mostly Asset Browser 2 and the Ragdoll and BodyController components.

Hopefully the video quality here is better than on Twitter.

s&box is my favorite game engine right now.

Here's an underwater scene I hastily threw together with existing assets. I made some components that use video either as light cookies, or as textures that override a material on a model.

I'm gonna be real: dick physics are like 25% of the reason I'm still playing Baldur's Gate 3. And I love the writing and gameplay.
