There is a very simplistic upscaler for #GodotEngine, but it was pretty confusing, since many people compared it to #DLSS and #FSR, so the creator shared some insights about the algorythm:

Amazing #GameDesign discussion, related to the majority of #OpenWorld games these days: they assume, that the player is forgetful, and retarded...

#SoundDesign of Mortal Kombat is based on... Vegetables! So, it's a vegan game, right?

A few weeks ago we've talked about Shader Compiler for #GodotEngine, but now the issue is fixed officially (same way, as you may seen in Kena and some other UE games – so, no more stutters).

And this is only one of many new features of Godot 3.5!

Hey, this post gonna be quite unusual, but still: if you are using modern gaming monitor or laptop, it can be oversaturated to match DCI-P3 and some other color spaces, but not all of them have proper sRGB modes and these sRGB can be highly limited.

So, if you want softer look for daily usage or proper calibration for artistic work on a gaming monitor (or, laptop), you may try the #OpenSource app for #NVIDIA users, that clamps the color space into sRGB:

Despite the previous cancellation of the showcase event, #Samsung announced its most powerful mobile processor with #AMD #RDNA2 graphics, that supports #Raytracing!

Previously, only #ImaginationTechnologies have had mobile RT-cores, but this one is nearly the same as the desktop equivalent RDNA, that you can find in last gen consoles, including Valve's Steam Deck, PS5, and Xbox Series:

Unlike Samsung, the team behind current #ImaginationTechnologies brand, explained some of their mobile #Raytracing experiments in-depth. They showring some demo-videos for over 8 years with RT-shadows, GI, and reflections, becoming more and more complex over time.

They began the whole thing BEFORE NVIDIA, but due to mobile-friendly architecture it's still highly limited, this is why even the latest demo is extremely blurry in motion.

(The company, that previously created PowerVR GPUs for Apple, was left behind and purchased by investors from China a few years ago. They are making Innosilicon GPUs for desktop and servers in China)

#Xbox said om-nom-nom and consumed #Activision #Blizzard for $68.7b (which is the biggest game industry deal so far)

Meet #Xbox family: will they be able to make amazing games altogether?
