Engine Development

Game Developer details how ARM’s Peter Hodges thinks about game development tools, with a side trip into the 1969 short Lemon. The conversation is most relevant to teams building or integrating...

arXiv cs.GR details S4R, a scale-continuation method that repairs rigid-body interpenetration in large procedural scenes. It shrinks bodies to a collision-free state, then restores full size through...

Unity details how Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor was reworked for mobile, where thousands of enemies, projectiles, and damage numbers had to fit inside a 3 GB iPad budget. Piktiv swapped costly PC...

Leadwerks says version 5.2 adds OpenXR support, broadening VR hardware compatibility across modern headsets, including Steam Frame. The update also improves the VR template with more natural hand...

AMD GPUOpen says ADLX 2.0 adds AI extensions and MCP servers so apps can monitor, manage, and optimize AMD graphics hardware. For game teams, that opens the door to agent-driven tooling that can...

Godot has been tightening CPU-side renderer code, and one Polygon2D case showed why that matters: a scene with only about 20 animated characters was spending 15.7 ms in Polygon2D::_notification() and...

A new HKTex acceleration method drops the mesh eigensystem bottleneck that has made heat-kernel texture workflows expensive to initialize. Two variants, LocalHK and ThermalRF, keep the trainer and...

A new reconfigurable rover uses a variable-geometry truss to change its contact shape on the fly, cutting the coordination burden of traversal planning. The system reuses low-dimensional contact...

Researchers have introduced TBR, a transport-based rendering method that turns inverse graphics into an ordered stroke program. The approach targets marbling-style deposition strokes, preserving area...

A new continuum mechanics solver aims to make million-scale hyperelastic simulation practical in real time, even with heavy contact and friction. Semi-Implicit Pairwise Descent reformulates FEM...

RealSimLoop uses vision feedback and differentiable reduced-order simulation to adapt deformable-object models online, aiming for quasi-real-time real-to-sim calibration. For teams working on...

Unity details how Garage Collective is using ECS to render DrakkenRidge’s huge mobile VR world with far less overhead. The two-person team says the game can show thousands of objects with just eight...

A new layout-generation framework, LayoutShop, uses content constraints and optimization to build creative article compositions from templates. It extracts eligible structures, solves their geometry,...

I'm starting to implement rigid body collision detection and for the first time the order of operations AND the world orientations seams to matter for the correct result of the procedures, but I'm...

A new 3D Gaussian Splatting method tackles gradient vanishing with truncated updates, aiming to make scene reconstruction more stable and less sensitive to initialization. The approach improves both...

Hi everyone, I'm an independent developer from NEXIOR GAME, and I've been working on my own 3D game engine called Hozex Engine. Hozex is designed to make 3D game development faster and easier by...

A new GPU multibody solver reformulates constrained dynamics as affine bodies linked by peridynamic bonds, aiming to handle rigid bodies, flexible joints, contact, and friction in real time. The...

Researchers turned Besiege into a benchmark for LLM-driven machine design, where agents must assemble working contraptions from text goals and simulated physics. The setup exposes a gap between...

Catlike Coding Unity details the first Burst conversion in its Hex Map 5.5.0 generator: InitializeMapJob now runs as an IJobFor over a NativeArray of HexCellData. For Unity 6000.3.23f1 users, it’s a...

When working on a game project, there are often small tasks that take more time than expected, such as calculating values, converting units, checking text, formatting data, or quickly testing...
