Put together a new cyberpunk-themed scene in Degine so I have something “somewhat professional” looking to showcase at GDC 2026. Feel like the graphics are in a good spot, though I have about a month to do some optimization and clean-up the code (which is honestly full of
Really happy to be a part of the 2025 edition of GP-Direct, a compilation of around 20 different “from scratch” 3D engines made by people from the graphics programming community. I submitted my Degine graphics demo as part of this, and also designed the YouTube thumbnail. Super stoked
Got together a new demo video for Degine, my custom OpenGL 3D game engine, showcasing the current state of the graphics. This 1 minute clip is my submission for the GP-Direct 2025 compilation, with a few dozen other indie game developers and graphics programmers. Stuck a peak at
Made this long-ass developer update for my OpenGL engine, Degine. Lots of info in the video, but I’m working on the character animation mostly and fixing bugs with stuff that was mocked up before. Graphics are in a good place (aside from the glitches), need to flesh out
If you want to learn Lua, this is the book to get. It’s literally written by one of the guys that created the language, this is the authoritative source. There may be other books that cater to beginners, or are more focused on an application of Lua in
Been researching real-time indirect lighting and global illumination techniques recently, and was most interested in simpler methods that did not require extensive pre-computation steps. Evaluating indirect light in screen space is an obvious choice here, since it can be fully dynamic, and the performance cost is essentially fixed
I spent the last two days adding GPU compressed texture support to Degine, my custom OpenGL / WebGL 3D engine. I tried a few formats, but ended up going with ASTC, since it was the only one that appears to be supported on both desktop and web. While
Build your own 2D Game Engine is a pretty straight-forward book for what can usually be a fairly complex topic. Out of the game engine books I’ve read (mostly for 3D) this is one of the more approachable of the bunch, while still showing the details necessary. Thankfully,
This is the second book in the new game engine development series by acclaimed author and engine developer, Eric Lengyel. Though it is not strictly necessary to read in order, it is basically one book cut into sections, so you may want to get the first one, as
Game Engine Gems 2 is the second book in a series from editor Eric Lengyel, one of the premiere game engine developers in the scene. I read the first book and I will say this second volume is even better in my opinion. There are a vast number
