Thanks, Dan! I'm glad you like it!

I'd love to provide music for ES.... oh man, I need 48 hr days. So many things I'd like to do

Hey guys, Overshadowed by David Bowie's death, my new digital single "Welt aus Staub" was released. It features a very nice guitar solo by my friend Yeray Diaz Hurtado. I hope you like it! https://soundcloud.com/marius-staerk/welt-aus-staub https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B019WM61TA/ref=d...

Sweet, I like those Mods

You should wait for ESTk to be released and use it to develop your game

I don't have time to address all questions, so I just leave some points about the static keyword ;) In general, static means that something has a lifetime that extends across the lifetime of the entire run of the program. Static variables occupy memory addresses that lie next to the program code, in...

A smooth vibe is exactly what I wanted to convey in this piece. Thanks a lot!

Hey guys,

I made a new song. It's German again but I hope you still like it I produced it on Linux using Ardour and several open-source plugins and samplers.

You're probably right about the memory access of a structure-of-arrays on a GPU. I was thinking too much about cache coherency on a CPU. I honestly haven't fucked with the geometry shaders enough to know if this would speed things up or not. It's a really good idea... I want to look into it. When I ...

That's the basics. If I were you, and I were using the OpenGL core profile, I would store that giant-ass array of geometry as a VBO GPU-side, and drastically reduce the overhead fo transferring vertices every frame. ...and send only one vertex per tile and inflate it with geometry shader to a full ...

I just released my first single as a solo artist and I made a music video in a kind of pixel style for it! I hope you like it! k05bmctfkco Falco was interested in the lyrics, so I translated them to English for everyone: the alarm goes off for the 10th time oh, sleeping is healthy, i snooze it again...

Maybe you should just stop worrying about this. Use something that fulfills all your needs. You might come to point where you realize your compiler is not the right tool. That is the right point to start looking for alternatives. Personally, I'm using QtCreator with GCC on Linux at work and at home,...

When you start adding more items with different properties, everything becomes a big mess. Imagine a wizard that gets armor bonus for carrying some spell book. What type is it; Armor, weapon or book? Instead think about what an item really is: a collection of properties that have certain effects in ...

I didn't thoroughly read the whole SQL part, but I just wanted to point out that using inheritance for different item types might not be a good idea, in the same way that inheritance is not a good model for different game entities. Also how big can a game inventory possibly be that search performanc...

Hey guys,

I'm interviewing with Google in Chapel Hill on Monday, so I'm jetting to the US for a couple of days. If anyone happens to live or be in the area between Saturday and Tuesday, let me know. Would be great to meet for a beer and some nerdy talk.

Cheers,
