Our contributors could fix many of the new regressions quickly, and we merged another big batch of important fixes and improvements. As the pace intensifies in the lead-up to the first Release Candidate, we decided to make more frequent beta snapshots for testing.

For decades, conventional wisdom about game development has stated that the launch of a new hardware generation would bring with it a step change in costs. New platforms brought with them higher fidelity assets, the need for new solutions to technical problems, and consumer expectations of larger, more detailed, and more interactive game worlds – all of which meant that starting to work on a new console generation was expensive, and didn’t get much less expensive as time went on.

Earlier this week, we published a story about Striking Distance Studios leaving a number of developers out of the credits for its debut title, The Callisto Protocol. It's a silly practice, but not entirely uncommon in this industry. It costs a studio essentially nothing to give credit, but many continue to refuse that basic courtesy to those who leave partway through development.

Business gonna business. A lot of tech companies are laying off workers after investing big early in the pandemic and expecting things to remain that way. If the revenues coming in can’t support the costs going out, they’re going to have to either raise revenues or cut costs. Cutting costs means cancelling projects and laying off workers. Ubisoft in particular is in more financial trouble, specifically because they have a big headcount but can’t seem to hit the kind of numbers that publishers li

So, I’m about to pull what precious little hair I have left, right out of my head… mainly because I know this problem has to have a simple solution… but I can’t seem to find it! I am developing some shaders (trying, anyway) and I’ve got a simple burn dissolve shader on a poker chip in the editor. It looks fine. When I adjust the dissolve amount, it burns away as it should.
