I'm also part of the "former GDC (Europe) Volunteer"-club. For me it was rather my field of studies and personal interest that landed me a job in gamedev, but I still made some great contacts and wouldn't want to miss this time twitter.com/lindarendel/st

Hi there,
I'm Dominik - proud father of a one year old and doing graphics and engine programming on Snowdrop and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora at Ubisoft.

If you've happened to catch an ad for a suspiciously similar-looking game to Unpacking📦 on mobile recently, please know that this is not our game.
They sure seem to want to give the impression that it is, though! 🧵

This is one of the best illustrations for these processes that I've ever seen! Wish I had these when I initially set out on my graphics programming adventures!
Never would've guessed Unity was behind those animations though, impressive! :)

This time the animations are made in Unity, using Shapes by @FreyaHolmer. This plugin is so incredibly nice, I can't recommend it enough. Immediate mode drawing was a godsend specifically for the stuff I wanted to do in this video.

First day of work after xmas vacation. This time, I managed to actually relax and not work on any side-projects. Actually finished the Guardians of the Galaxy game: Can only recommend! Top notch story and writing with some unexpected twists - I want more games like this! :)

That's really a missed opportunity. Also they didn't seem to have any issues with calling out Konami during the show when they had their hiatus with Kojima

I understand the desire to simply celebrate the devs whose work we want to spotlight and champion, but I think it's possible to do that while also using the massive platform of The Game Awards to denounce the rampant abuse they've suffered in our industry. twitter.com/Kotaku/status/…

I am gutted right now. My friends in QA at Raven were promised, for months, that Activision was working towards a pay restructure to increase their wages.
Today, one by one, valuable members of the team were called into meetings and told they were being let go.

Hey graphics Vulkan twitter:
I'm a bit confused how VkAccelerationStructureGeometryKHR.flags should be used when building a TLAS. I *assume* it is ignored if geometryType is VK_GEOMETRY_TYPE_INSTANCES_KHR, but I can't find confirmation in the docs.

So, I have a story about the Skyrim Intro and how hard game development is.
That intro is famous now, but back then, it was just that one thing that we had to keep working and working on forever. I lost track of how many times I've seen that cart ride. Easily hundreds. (thread)

Can't wait for another round of awesome content - especially the advances course looks pretty promising this year - basically all talks in there are a must-see!

I'm thrilled to finally share what I've been working on these past years: #AvatarFrontiers. It's an honor to work with so many talented colleagues across multiple Ubi studios. I'm involved in various graphics- and engine-systems. youtube.com/watch?v=Axmg1E

My current theory is Nvidia accidentally created the AI singularity in their labs, it's taken over as some kind of Skynet, and is holding Jensen hostage unless AI is preached as a religion and put into every household.

I've been moving my home-engine to a full bindless binding model. Everything is much easier & cleaner now but I wonder how others deal with the debug layer reporting incorrect resource states if e.g. an SRV of the currently bound rendertarget is part of the global texture table

Graphics-twitter: Are there any open-source rendering frameworks out there (e.g. similar to oryol or bgfx) that abstract *only* modern APIs (Vk, d3d12,..)? I'd really be interested in choices made when not held back by d3d11/OpenGL
