PS4 version in work.

[gilesgoat]

It's NOT bad at all .. I'd love to see it on a bigger 3D screen ( mine is 23 inches ) .. but yeah .. crazy stuff .. looking good ... looking good ...

I have a nice big 42" 3D TV I can try it on if you like and er, tell you what it looks like

Sorry, but I'm sure my 47" TV and my 3D projector (108"!) would be a much better test platform!

Then I'll definitely have to check carefully that TRC about "max parallax distance" before you put hands on it or you may see wrong with such a big screen

... just a REMINDER of Play Expo 2014 in Manchester :

.. you want to be there trust me ..

I still cannot believe it how much this PS4 / DK2 thing is coming out ..

I was just saying Yak "you think T...... been made when VR/3D was not even existent .. it's incredible how well it works in VR" ..

The more we are working on this thing .. the better it gets .. it's just .. just .. "fook me" .. "it keeps giving" ..

There were a little tiny bugs there and there we fixed them .. I am smashing pulsars .. things .. explosions .. plasma balls .. laser lines .. vectors .. and it just feels "so natural, so real" ...

Tomorrow I am going to work on a "special nicety" you'll see ( hopefully ) for "something you can do while you pause" ..

It's just .. you put the DK2 on .. you play this thing 5 mins .. does not matter if you win or loose .. you get out with a BIG SMILE on your face .. part of you it's a bit like "what heck was that ?" but in a very good way

I literally have to telly myself "look, it's late, you NEED to sleep SOME hours or you won't be awake tomorow" .. yes it's been frustration too .. 3 days for a (*&$*(#@&(* shit of mega stupid bug that took 3 *$(@&$*(@#& days to find it out ...

.. but now it works .. even better than before ..

It's the web .. I am ON the web .. IN the web .. the web is around me .. I can look at it there and there .. that plasma thingy that flies around BOOM ZAP SWOOOOOOSH .. it's fucking REAL

It's a drug you can't just stop it

Is the Ozric Tentacle from Llamatron making a comeback?

Any Gnus on this?

Jommy Wars 3 is out on the 25th and it's got me Jonesing for some more abstract shooty goodness...

INSTANCING and (*&$£"*(&$(*£"$&(*£ shader optimizer & fetch shader DON'T GO WELL TOGETHER !!!

2 days 1/2 of YO ME BANANA to find out that seems to me some left hand does not know what the right hand is doing ..

"Yo ! You don't need this bit of stuff man I'll take it out for you" ... no .. no touchy .. don't .. don't remove that buffer ...

.. don't try to look into the disassembly of a fetch shader to try to understand what is it doing .. I think it's almost worst than trying to read the Voynich and try to make a sense out of it ..

And this is the 3rd time or so I get "sank" into an "optimizer issue" .. now this was particulary nasty as "I wasn't at all expecting that to happen".

On another side "scary" the kind of stuff those optimizers can do ( and do ) ..

Gnus is that Yak is with super pumped volume and VR all time continuing to add stuff every now and them coming out with "Oh this is so good" "Oh this is so amazing!" ..

Me I just finished to swear about the post of before but now I can progress.

[gilesgoat]

Doodling a bit with stuff ... just to test some things ..









Yak is adding/doing more and more things, me I am adding/doing some more other things and optimising others ..

Great!

Recent Tweets from Jeff:

ok, all Vita TxK enemies have been replaced by chunkier, more solid-looking ones that look better in VR and on the big screen.

that's a major milestone on the way to PS4 and PC TxK. Game now playable start to finish with the new graphics, bar bonus rounds.

Next week's job will be to fix the bonus round so that it no longer looks like a small fur bathroom rug in front of you in VR.

Once the bonus round is restored there will be a time of reviewing the ways in which things come apart just to extra polish them

Little go from the start to level 41. So much fun, grinning all the time . I swear I'm better at it in here than I was on the vita

Can not wait for this in VR. Gonna be awesome!

New "rule" : "if the output looks totally shit, blame the shader optimiser that chopped away some stuff".

.. damn .. I am starting to understand PS4 shader ASM ..

I just stumbled across this thread, I'm so excited for this! THANK YOU!!!
one question...
Are you thinking of using the ds4 touch pad for an optional control method? I played through sparkle 2, (Zuma clone), and thought it much more accurate, miles faster and smoother than using the sticks.
