society has moved past the need for unreal engine 5

@halcy its output looks very pretty. i like that as an aspirational target for my own engine.

@lritter @halcy it's not worth it D: it's not worth it at all

[lritter@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva @halcy i have a smaller set planned:

physically based shading
cascade shadow maps
light propagation volumes
screenspace GI
temporal anti-aliasing

no raytracing, no sdf

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@lritter @halcy my current planned feature set:
- variably low poly
- vertex colors
- color palettes
- textures sometimes
- transparency?!
- simple particle system
- compositing

@aeva @halcy sounds good. i've seen a few games with vertex shading style and it makes the picture supremely readable. (last thing i played was go-go town)

i just listed rendering components; as to actual geometry and style i have a few more things i want to try. many problems to solve simultaneously. sometimes i feel like i'm an AI model in training myself.
