Happy birthday #Quake! On June 22, 1996, id Software launched Quake — the first full-3D shooter using the #QuakeEngine. Unlike 2D-sprite-based games, Quake featured fully 3D environments, dynamic lighting, and Lightmaps.

#HalfLife and #CounterStrike are built on the Quake engine — making it a milestone in multiplayer #FPS history. Earlier, #Doom (1993) set the stage with groundbreaking 3D visuals, network play, and the birth of #Deathmatch.

The evolution continued with #idTech2 through #idTech5 powering games like #Doom3 and #Rage. Developer #JohnCarmack was the technical genius behind id’s engines before moving to #Oculus.

Which #idTech-based games do you remember?

Here's an unexpected (by me) development! BB Studio is an early proof-of-concept fork of GB Studio targeting the NES!

Still in alpha but looking very exciting!

As mentioned in a later post, I'm going to make both entries in spanish and english on my blog, and separate them with tags for easy filtering.

So here's my first post in english

“Ships, Icebergs, Game Engines” by Ryan Fleury https://www.rfleury.com/p/ships-icebergs-game-engines?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGameDev #Programming #Coding #GameEngines

Having a week long vacation to empty the brain from ordinary-life noise and plan Tofu Engine’s future. :)

Nice ideas are flowing, but most of all some parts can be reworked for improvement!

AGS 4.0 Early Alpha 8 (v4.0.0.3) for public tests is out.

Hi Folks! Running from the disgusting world of Facebook that wants to sell my info to the highest bidder! Much love to you all. I focus on spreading positivity and awareness for shitty actions of billionaires.

I've (literally) got news on https://enginesdatabase.com/news/!

My intention on Engines Database is to be a reference for all things Game Engine related. Now you can check news on all the engines listed there - from official GitHub releases to blog posts on the engines official websites.

Recently I've been trying to implement 3D UI for my VR game in #godot. Turns out it is not as simple as it is in some other #gameengines , so I've made a #video about it. Enjoy!

#introduction
Hi, I'm Peter - by day I am a #Sciartist, developing different types of #Science and #Heritage #Visualizations using #GameEngines #Fulldome #XR. I have a PhD in #ComputationalGeophysics, specialising in #DataVisualization, and another in #Semiotics and #ArtHistory. I'm fascinated by #Antarctica #Wilderness #DigitalHeritage and worried about #ClimateChange, so I try and make work that explores these to aid understanding. I've made #Fulldome movies about #DarkMatter and #AboriginalSonglines, and experiment with novel types of #ImmersiveMedia and #HCI for #Museum and #GLAM applications. By night my magpie interests range across #Astrodon to #ml and #CognitiveNeuroscience, #Mathstodon #Consilience #Literature #Philosophy - I read a lot. When I have a free moment, I'm trying to builld an #OffGrid home. Well OK, #shack :)
I'll approve follows if I can get an idea of who you are from your #introduction. I'd like friendly polite quality in my feed, not random quantity. That seems to be one of the best things about #mastodon! #lists!
