there, i got drop shadows working for all layers.

it was interesting doing a lot of color / fill explorations recently. i have more to do! i think this flat shaded, bitwise color one is my favorite of the crop. but next i want to go back to free rgb because it's so tunable, and it's good for haze etc. and gives me very manual control.

this sort of thing is honestly such a huge part of why doing game development is so wonderful.

today i'm doing generative work. i have two heights of bridges, and i'm going to add higher bridges as well. i'm also going to work on special cases for how bridges connect to buildings and walls. i really like the compound curves around these 1st floor ones, and i want to continue that language.

oh! that was an unexpected bug. i was just going to do dithered shadows and i ended up with... i think it's the span lengths messing with the dither?

messing with dithering a bit more. i kind of want to try this with stricter color restrictions. i don't think i want to dither the colors though, just the shadows?

i think the refactored render basically works. this is all the additional geometry layers, minus depth test + span fill. 15ms currently, which is close but i can get it in the zone.

i'm working on getting the new renderer to match the tuning set for the old renderer now. this handles color differently, at present- it's all precomputed + bitwise math. i'm going to explore haze (or hazeless looks) with this, but if i'm not content i'll go back to more on-the-fly color.

i also wanted to at least try doing screen space dithered shadows. i you could finesse this various ways, but this is a good indication of what it might feel like. i like the brightness and cleanliness of it. the light feels good but the volumes suffer, i think.

ok this is promising- with shadows (not rendering) for everything, it's at 10ms. but that's only with inlined point samples, not interpolation. if i turn on interpolation w/ a function, it's 23ms or so. i'm going go try inlining.

Titanfall was released on PC and Xbox One 12 years ago today. Developed by Respawn Entertainment, the sci-fi shooter introduced fast parkour movement and Titan mech combat. A sequel followed in 2016, while a third entry has long been rumored - but as the years pass, it seems increasingly unlikely. 🎮
