IDK about you, folks, but thanks to @discomode I'm playing Infinity Nikki — a gacha game where your powers are in your dresses. And yes, I'm a pink-hair waifu. And I like it... UPD: What the heck, the game is actually a FIFTH iteration of a huge dressing…
Honestly, I'm impressed with artistic choices, but the art director of Infinity Nikki definitely deserved his role!

It's Unreal Engine 5 and RTX Accelerated version of Lumen lighting system.

There is even their official interview about switching to Unreal Engine: https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/developer-interviews/behind-the-scenes-of-infinity-nikki-tracing-a-glamorous-turn-to-an-unreal-open-world

The trick is: they haven't just adopted the engine, their rendering developers recreated lots of features, like Order-Independent Transparency (OIT). Imagine, that folks can do rendering in a gacha about dresses, but AAA games are all using the default UE.

They also have

1. Custom fur tech
2. GPU-based LOD
3. Skeletal chain for cloth physics
4. Clothing combinations do not have clipping (almost)

And it all works on everything, including mobile devices (unlike Nanite, for example).

A lot of people mentioned DOOM as their most anticipated game of 2025, so here's the meme!

Make your guess: which one is PC (with Lumen RT) and which one is Android? Both are technically the same Unreal Engine 5 game.

This game is almost 10 years old and a PS4 exclusive. It worked on 1.6GHz CPU (2x4 cores) with 18CU GCN2 GPU = around 1.8 TFLOPS of compute power against modern 10-50 TFLOPS machines.

Why it looks sharper and smoother than modern counterparts?

The rumored Neural technology from NVIDIA, that was leaked by INNO3D, can be a new textures compression algorithm. It was recently researched by NVIDIA and provides a huge visual improvement with lower VRAM usage.

You may be curious: why don't we post about free Epic Store giveaways as we usually do on holidays? Well, this time they managed to screw it up completely — they gave away crappy games and now a DLC to a F2P dungeon crawler!

This is a bad idea that will backfire way more than “calm down” the discussion. Have they heard of Streisand effect?

This week I remembered Wolf Children — a touching story of raising kids, overcoming grief, and just living a life. And I highly recommend it!
