Godot 4.0 Vulkan Support Continues Progressing - GI System Overhauled
Godot 4.0 continues to be worked on with much excitement by lead developer Juan Linietsky and others. While continuing to advance the Vulkan code in general for its introduction in Godot 4.0, over the past month most of the development efforts were focused on global illumination.
Ramping up their global illumination system and baking "GIProbes 2.0" was the Godot development focus for October. Their new global illumination system is now largely squared away for the big 4.0 release.

Godot Engine - Vulkan Progress Report #5
Another month, another Vulkan progress report! October was a busy month, as most of it was split between working on the new Global Illumination system and Godotcon/GIC in Poland.
Despite this, strong progress was made and the new GI system seems pretty much complete.

The Sunday odds and ends Linux and gaming section
Let's start with a little crowdfunding news shall we! Everspace 2 is almost at the finishing line, with just over a day left to go they still need about £28K. With enough of a push they might just do it. Recently, Linux livestreamer Corben78 showed it off on Linux.
Another crowdfunding project, OTHER: Her Loving Embrace, recently got fully funded. It's a stylish turn-based/platformer RPG and it's coming to Linux!
The funding campaign to help GNOME fight off a patent troll has now officially passed the $125k they requested! Since they're planning to fight, hopefully it will help deter future patent trolls attacking FOSS.

Steinar H. Gunderson: Chess960 opening recalculation
A while back, I set Stockfish to analyze every opening position in Chess960 (also knows as Fischer Random chess, or Fischerandom, or several other names). For the World Championship, I redid this analysis with a newer version of Stockfish to higher depths (d41 on most positions, d42 on others)—and this time, I kept the PV. (I also fixed a fairly important bug; thanks to Peter Heine Nielsen for spotting it.)

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
