It's running entirely on the GPU, so for rendering it's only 1 draw call. None of the simulation data ever makes it back to the CPU, the MultiMesh buffer is written to directly. I posted the Slang shader code here: gist.github.com/Lateasusual/... I didn't include the CPU boilerplate code though

worth trying without embedded game window enabled, might be a windows (as in OS but also window management) thing as you say

having to remember to change the committer email address for work repos vs private repos was too much and i'd keep committing stuff with my personal email to work repos anyway, so i just gave up

if by "not [...] influenced by western music" he means that every single piece of music ever made has some musical reference to Touhou in it, then i guess he'd be right, but i don't think that's what he meant

it's crazy how much of the game is "If I were to make a game it'd want it to be like *this*", from the environments, concepts, gameplay etc. the OST especially - I've got a bunch of Taishi+みとせのりこ bookmarked as "music i'd want in a game" so it was crazy booting it up and hearing it on the main menu

I finished Doll's Nest, really pleasantly surprised by how good it was! For such a small team it's incredibly impressive how well they managed to execute "what if armored core was a souls game". Biggest thing for me was hearing Mitose Noriko in the soundtrack! Shame there's only music in bosses :)

the sewer drain for my block is blocked so i called the city to get it fixed and now there's like 3 police cars and a fire engine outside, the whole street's taped up like a crime scene, and my drain's still blocked :/ my kitchen is flooding every time someone upstairs washes their hands 😭 save me

wouldn't it be the top left that'd be "invalid but sound" in that case though? i think since ¬P -> (P->Q) still holds P->Q is sound there. If P is true but Q is not, then P->Q doesn't hold so it wouldn't be. unless im getting validity and soundness mixed up, it's been ages since i did logic :3

haha yeah i'm just seeing a lot of codebases trying to remove GS now. graphics is so frustrating with not knowing what's going to become standard or not 😭

i think geometry shaders aren't really well supported by hardware, i think there's a PR for adding mesh shader support floating around somewhere though?

Late as usual @lateasusual.bsky.social · 30/04/2025

i think godot really needs more examples of cool stuff like this, cause there's a lot that isn't entirely possible yet but there's not enough people pushing the current limits :3

i did wanna try some kind of unique path thing where the blocks slide around in all directions without colliding and then realised thats probably a really hard cs problem lol

i don't think it's a bad game by any stretch, but unfortunately the parts that i've found the most memorable and fun were the optional asset-flip foddian rage-game jumping puzzle hell challenges and i'm not sure that's a good look for the rest of the game 😐

maybe it should be based on some natural event. like the first dawn chorus of the great tits and chaffinches or something. the peak of the lyrid meteor showers. idk

there are a couple places in the render pipeline where msaa is always resolved (e.g. POST_SKY) but depending on what you're doing it's probably best to handle MSAA properly

220

Late as usual @lateasusual.bsky.social · 21/04/2025

Or, if you're going the route of enabling "access resolved color/depth" then that's only for reading from the input buffers, you still need to write to the MSAA render buffers if you want to output directly in the same effect.

Late as usual @lateasusual.bsky.social · 21/04/2025

ok it's just called "color_msaa", nevermind :)

100

Late as usual @lateasusual.bsky.social · 21/04/2025

if you're using get_color_layer you need to pass msaa=true if you're getting the texture by name then i think it's named differently than just "color" since it's a different format to non-msaa, but off the top of my head i dont remember the name
