The NVIDIA 5000 series is concerning: if they are really that bad, we are doomed!

Dragon Age The Veilguard is 35% off just a month after the release. It seems that the game isn't doing well.

State of Mind is 90% off and I highly recommend it: a cyberpunk adventure with several protagonists and slowly unwrapping story about conspiracy.

Four endings and each of them is painful. It left me wondering what is the reality after all.

The most important award was given to Amir: he fought with layoffs by composing new job openings and CVs of ones who lost jobs, so it will be easier for them to look for new roles and for HRs to find new staff members

The Baldur's Gate 3 has been review bombed on Steam by Chinese players! Why, you may ask? Sven announced Astrobot as the game of the year on TGA, when he had to announce Wukong as the honest person supposed to.

😅 10000 IQ move!

Godot 4.4 will feature the new fast baked shadows for distant objects. It still leaves enough room for proper dynamic shadows nearby the camera, but distant ones can now use predefined shadows from the main directional light.

The new shadow can be drawn at nearly infinite distance, compared to only a few hundred meters where the shadow map is drawn. It will make outdoor scenes way more believable.

Godot Engine released its 2024 showreel, leaving many amazing projects behind. Definitely "suffering from success" moment — there are too many good games to show them all in 5 minutes!
