Making a haunted test build Created @fragsurf, prev @FcpnchStds on s&box Inspired by Quake, Source, crisp text, and global illumination

Experimental "No Graphics API" path tracer - PTX to instruct the GPU. No OpenGL, VK, DX (no graphics api) - No tris/verts, only planes - Bindless, raw pointers to scene data Maintainability 1 out of 10, but I do enjoy breaking free of graphics APIs and their paradigms.

GPU lightmapper photo dump I added AO, HDR, shadowmasks, multiple charts, and some filtering in the frag shader to smooth things out. This map has 16 lightmaps with 2k resolution, baked in roughly 1 minute.

Wrapping up a patch for @fragsurf - key features: 1. Networking improvements 2. Movement rewrite, surf & bhop is identical to Source 3. New level editor with PBR materials, GPU lightmapper + indirect GI 4. Visual overhaul to some official maps Probably sometime next week!

Clipping tool, emissive GI, volumetric fog respecting transparency.

Added decals, but opacity in the RT pipeline took a toll on performance. Almost reverted decals to pure raster (losing reflections/shadows) but realized it can work for things like fences too. It stays!

Spent the previous few days on ray-marched volumetric fog, refactoring scene save/load (hence the new scene) and cleaning up the in-world editor experience. High performance path tracing in a create-as-you-play game engine is a tough but rewarding project

Did water today. Worked quite well with the path tracer handling reflections already

Took a break from GI just to end up back on it, had to get textures sorted out in reflections & gi. Slight hit to performance, couple things to iron out, huge visual win.

Various small to medium wins in GI the last few days. Needs improvements still (as always), but I'm pretty happy in its current state, going back to work on gameplay & other stuff

Also if anybody has discrete compute performance tips & tricks please share, I've spent days already on single experiments hopeful it would shave off another .1ms (often fails and adds 1ms)

Oddly found myself not gpu bound today - maintaining 400fps at 1080p with ray traced shadows, reflections, and gi. Handful of issues to work out, then polish visual quality, still free of any vendor specific or temporal tech!

Getting somewhere now! The block tool will be the basis for all level design.. nothing complicated, all convex, push/pull/extrude/clip and a standard set of primitives.

There's now an in-game script editor. Ultimately I want to never leave the game, write all of the gameplay with this. Scripting will also be part of the game but as simple puzzles where programming skill isn't required, programmers could hack away at it if they want tho.
