@mushroomdonoteat@misskey.fryer.net.au May I introduce you to the demoscene? :P It's not exactly game development but the spirit of optimizing aggressively to make things work that wouldn't otherwise is definitely there

@patagona@chaos.social @mushroomdonoteat@misskey.fryer.net.au I'm just happy to load a web page with less than 100mb of javascript.

@patagona@chaos.social @mushroomdonoteat@misskey.fryer.net.au There's a full zoo of super optimized models going on in GL, but games definitely miss a world of playful shader stuff we've seen in the demoscene and live visuals, yes.

@patagona@chaos.social @mushroomdonoteat@misskey.fryer.net.au oh shoot, I haven’t thought about demos in ages! I briefly followed in the footsteps of the giants by homebrewing my original Xbox and writing some dinky shader code for it, but I never delved further. Is the scene still around?
