Huge congrats! This turned out quite amazing - and all of this captured on a base PS5?! Also, was that strand-based hair I spotted on some of the longer-haired characters (e.g. in the hotel lobby party?)

This is so cool! Nice visuals, the music is next level (esp. in the end sequence...) and all in all refreshingly "different" (as expected from a warframe follow-up I guess^^)

Disco Elysium is great! Never finished it though so far... might need to pick it back up. You should definitely check out Citizen Sleeper for your list :) Currently playing through the 2nd part store.steampowered.com/app/1578650/...

We had a chance to contribute to this amazing book series with two articles and even a cover image. I hope everyone enjoys reading this book as much as we enjoyed writing it!

Unfortunately I won't be at GDC this year after all but Philip will cover both of our individual talk parts with ease - be sure to say hi to him!

Come check out our GPC slides about some of our Doom rendering techniques! YT video will likely follow soon as well

Together with @phammer.bsky.social , we'll be at GDC 2026 talking about some of the idTech 8 rendering tech we worked on for DOOM: The Dark Ages. Will be my first GDC, so I'm really looking forward to it! :) schedule.gdconf.com/session/rip-...

Super cool! I'm really enjoing the game so far - huge congrats to the entire team. Would be very interested in hearing a conference-talk about this tech and its early prototypes some time :)

Together with @phammer.bsky.social, we'll talk about some of the rendering optimizations using triangle visibility buffers and VRS on Doom: The Dark Ages at GPC 2025. Hope to see some of you there! graphicsprogrammingconference.com

Had a great time at the Doom release party in downtown Dallas last night with a bunch of the other engine guys. Met most of the US-side team face to face for the first time since joining id a few years ago - awesome people!

Dominik Lazarek @domlaz.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

Yepp, indeed all projected-grid screenspace still, both for Doom and Indy. We do use some tricks to get around some limitations, like temporally reprojecting grid vertices to last frame to reduce aliasing under motion, but not perfect. We might switch to world-tessellation at some point.

Check out some of the tech we‘ve been adding for idTech 8 these past years. Really proud to be part of this amazing team! Doom: The Dark Ages releases tomorrow, thumbs pressed people will enjoy some beautiful visuals and decent performance. youtu.be/Ed4vNNQwCDU?...

Sure! You can use e.g. tex2DGrad(.. ddx, ddy) with manually-computed derivatives. If you re-order the compute shader threads to be in a morton-like order, you can use e.g. subgroupQuadSwapHorizontal/Vertical() to compute derivatives

Confirmed that this is indeed the software-VRS that's in place here. We're investigating some options to mitigate these places.

Dominik Lazarek @domlaz.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

Its using a form of software-VRS instead

010

Dominik Lazarek @domlaz.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

Hmmm, not 100% sure these are VRS issues, actually - could also come from the upscale sharpening or so. Thanks for pointing it out - fwding it with the team and we'll investigate

Just received my own physical copy, congrats on the release! However, my copy seems to include some faulty pages of a different book in the middle? Or is it expected to include advertisements of some sorts?
