So a flyby showcasing the upgraded Imperial peak main city in #theFalconeer remaster that is coming soon (when was that launch-title-date 5 years ago again?

But the new lighting, hyper detail, and all the work that's gone into this really shows this has been a very very very busy year.

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 1d

yeh its shaping up pretty well . cheers;)

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 2d

Even the smallest location in #theFalconeer has a ton of detail now.

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 2d

ooh yeh

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 3d

I mean... freaking point lights. How I missed you...
Don't worry I've maxed it out at 15 point lights for tracers and 5 for environment lighting.

Perhaps this is what folks call a 'lightprobe' I wouldn't know... really. ;)

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 3d

Tomas.. did you just add dynamic point lights to the Falconeer Remaster?

nooo.. just a vector4array buffered to the GPU for positions and ranges. It's nice even affects the clouds.

Those are pointlights, how many did you use????

not enough.... not enough

yeh a shame,, the Xbox App on PC is so barebones, it doesn't even tell you what's wrong..

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 3d

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 3d

aah its even on gamepass. well was debating wether to keep GP at the new price... well for a little longer then..

the indie selection really has been lacking of late, so this is a decent find.

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 3d

alright wishlisted that.. def my beef..

I believe that a thing called 'financial independence' (never heard of it myself) insulates its user from the consequences of their actions.

Diminishing use of core skills such as critical thinking and 'awareness of others' leads to the transformative process of becoming "a douche".

I remain confused how people in my industry, the ones who built the web and benefited from its best days, can use AI. Those products, the companies, and the people behind them are choking the web to death. Is there no respect for what we’ve built?

Little bit of combat around Stargazer for the unannounced remaster (soon) #screenshotsaturday

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 4d

me too, but the grand canyon f18 challenge they have now is beyond superlatives. It's like a AAA bespoke action sequence. super cool

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 4d

It's simply MS flightsim 2024.. They do weekly low altitude challenges, get to a destination as fast and as low as possible and plot your own route. It is literally one of the best classic gaming experience out there atm.

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 4d

it is

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 4d

MS flightsim 2024.. they have low altitude challenges that are insanely fun

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 4d

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 4d

well you know when you overshoot the canyon, your run is basically toast.. didn't even get to shoot the womp rats.. dooh..

Its insane you can just boo

I meant this stuff. Doesnt need to be usb.. but thats a ridiculous amount of brand specific plugs

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 4d

no that's the problem I just spend 150 euros to convert those cables to an aftermarket pioneer set...

150 bucks.. wtf!
no standards.. just car stereo nonsense

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 4d

This is not because of security. I mean its a fucking radio. Why does it need to look like a beehive of different connectors .

Tomas Sala @falconeerdev.bsky.social · 4d

Can anyone give me a rational reason, other than ripping off car owners with ridiculously priced converters/cable harnasses etc, why car radios just don't connect with a USB cable or two?

I mean this is all about paying up for silly bespoke plugs right?
