NFT Statement

Feb 26, 2021

I have decided to release a small set of single-edition NFTs on OpenSea.

I plan to place 100% of direct proceeds from the first sale toward the Bounty for More Eco-Friendly NFTs being developed by Artnome and GitCoin, and 25% of direct proceeds of each of the subsequent 9 artworks in this series toward the same fund.

You can bid/purchase/view the first minted artwork here, and the full series here. At the time of writing, I have only placed 1 artwork on auction, but will place the other 9 in the coming days/weeks.

CUSTOM GAME ENGINES: A Small Study

WARNING: Article moved to separate repo to allow users contributions: https://github.com/raysan5/custom_game_engines

A couple of weeks ago I played (and finished) A Plague Tale, a game by Asobo Studio. I was really captivated by the game, not only by the beautiful graphics but also by the story and the locations in the game. I decided to investigate a bit about the game tech and I was surprised to see it was developed with a custom engine by a relatively small studio. I know there are some companies using custom engines but it's very difficult to find a detailed market study with that kind of information curated and updated. So this article.

Nowadays lots of companies choose engines like [Unreal](https:

GPU Optimization for GameDev

Graphics Pipeline / GPU Architecture Overview

2015 - Render Hell 2.0
2016 - How bad are small triangles on GPU and why?

My team found it rather hard to determine which stage to use – or whether it would be easier to stay with a certain stage and enable some features specifically.

So I ended up with a table of postcss-cssnext features, their postcss-preset-env counterparts (where I knew the option name) and the stage for each feature.

postcss-cssnext features are from the feature documentation page
Deprecation infos are from the blogpost by @MoOx
Stages are from the postcss-preset-env feature documentation page
Option names are from @jonathantneal's comment
