For over twenty years London Studio has been home to some exceptionally talented and wonderful people in the games industry. As we close the doors, and all go forward to new adventures, we wanted to say a heartfelt thank you, to all our past and present, players and colleagues

Friends! I’m off to GDC, give me a ping if you’re in the area 😁 …assuming I make it anyway, so far I’ve had to deal with train strikes, cancellations, delays, a rebooked flight and having to travel two days early, and that’s before I’ve set off 😅wish me luck!

This weekend has been insane to say the least, straight from a very excellent work Christmas do, to beating the strikes with @dave_e_rogers to get to London to meet @AbroadInJapan and co. I am a teeny tiny bit tired (understatement). But such a good weekend!

Started a new job with a bunch of lovely peeps, really excited to see what we can make! 😄

First draft of a job system API. LaunchJob() schedules a job. Job is eligible for execution when the array of existing jobs have been finished. Job scheduler only schedules jobs if they don't have resource conflicts. 1x ReadWrite or multiple ReadOnly for each resource...

Teaching Grassmann algebra / geometric algebra in my graphics for games class today. This will be the first time that the newest findings have ever been taught in a university course. #GeometricAlgebra https://t.co/5sQCUbwSgr

Signed. Proud of everyone who is trying to make this industry better. #ActiBlizzWalkout 💙 https://t.co/7bdCbUBNz1

cubic polynomials (ax³+bx²+cx+d) with three real roots can be solved using trigonometry you can visualize it geometrically with an equilateral triangle 🔵 the vertices align with the roots 🔴 the center with the inflection point 🟢 the incircle boundary with the local min/max

Do you enjoy programming horror stories? Are you brave enough to endure spooooky side effects, crashes that seem to LEAP out of nowhere, and hostile spirits of the past and present surrounding you with a barrage of ~BeWiLdEriNg~ impediments!? Keep reading.....IF YOU DARE! <🧵>

Ever wanted really wide, clean silhouette outlines in your game? I did, and I spent a lot of time trying to do it the "wrong" way so you don't have to. https://t.co/xDdtSDdg2H

I wrote a paper on Behavior Trees around 2 years ago for a book that never got published. I'm publishing it now myself so that it may be of use to someone. Please share this to anyone interested in AI or Behavior Trees:

A thread about narrative states. Suppose we have a dating sim where outcome is decided by the player's relationship stats to three characters, and the player has loads of chances to increase relationship with any/all of them. It can be tricky to reason about the design of this.

Fun thought: Most ML models are really superstitious. Lacking a good causal model, they just follow correlations, whether or not they are spurious. Cargo cult ftw. I just like the image that failure modes are really due to models trying to control the supernatural.

I saw this video of Boston Dynamics' testing facility 5 days ago and I'm still thinking about it.
