- gg, weeks 12 to 15: rain, snow, lightning, and back on the 3070 Back on the desktop: the weather starts dropping things, the goldens move onto the GPU, a scene gets more than one body to steer, and leaves hang off branches.
- gg, weeks 8 to 11: a pond, fog, night, and a month on a laptop Four weeks on a laptop with an integrated GPU: the pond gets a surface, fog becomes a medium, the goldens leave git, and night stops being black.
- gg, weeks 6 and 7: weather, TAA, and a flag day for Vulkan Weather driven off the scene clock, TAA after a month of arguing against it, the SDL fork retired along with SDL_GPU, and the first half of water.
- gg, jam 1: undercooked The first attempt at a game jam using the engine, and what fell out of it.
- gg, week 5: shapes, sound and a UI An engine that makes noise and draws a menu, a mixer that never touches the frame loop, and what a month of this actually produced.
- gg, week 4: clouds, scale, and taking the look back out A rim light that turned out to be most of a moonlit frame, proper clouds, deleting the art direction, and a frame that cost 12.9 ms drawing nothing.
- gg, week 3: terrain, and a sky that knows what time it is Terrain as a document instead of a mesh, a physical atmosphere driven by the scene's own clock, and a moon bug only a number could catch.
- gg, week 2: an editor, a cooker, and letting an agent drive Undo you can audit, an asset pipeline on the build graph, clustered forward lighting, and what happened when I let Claude drive the editor.
- gg, week 1: something from nothing Building a game engine from scratch: six days of setup and nothing to screenshot.
- Compilation speed humps: std::tuple How std::tuple took a CI build from 7 minutes to 35, and the bespoke type list that undid it.
