This latest non-VR Half-Life leak worries me a little... Between this and Deadlock Valve can't have many devs spare to develop launch titles for Deckard
Which makes me wonder if Deckard is coming at all, they must know it's dead in the water without a new game

Taking a break from writing audio tutorials this week to instead write about game design!
This time I'm dissecting the famous level from Half-Life: Alyx (and another similar segment from a very different game...) to learn more about what makes horror tick

@npub1z9m…p50f Oops! Good catch thank you
If you're wondering it's meant to say part 5 lol

I've released a game audio programming tutorial covering how to handle your player character being able to move or rotate, which most games need 😉

I've released a new tutorial
If you've ever wanted to learn how to make sounds 3D in your game without relying on an engine/library to do this is for you!

@npub1z9m…p50f For me it's about rigidity, having to add a new object initialization and pass it through to the right places every time I wanna do another render kinda sucks

This week I've made a tutorial exploring what modern Vulkan with all the latest features (bindless, dynamic rendering and shader objects) might look like!
(Don't worry, first part of the audio tutorial is coming next week)

Is there interest in a game audio programming tutorial?
Writing my sound system took ages and a lot of the things I ended up doing (dynamic occlusion, head-related transfer function, effects with custom frequency responses) aren't well documented for game devs anywhere
