Beat Saber@beatsaberofficial.bsky.social

πŸ’₯ The biggest update in Beat Saber history. πŸ’₯ We're adding a brand-new way to play β€” Flux β€” bringing hand tracking to the entire game, and finally giving you a progression system with rewards worth chasing: ✨Custom Sabers✨ and much more. Coming Spring 2027 to Meta VR Glasses, Meta Quest and Steam.

πŸ€ πŸ¦™ In March I will be available for my next project! If you're looking for a Senior Technical Artist with an eye for look development & shaders (& much more!) drop me a line :)

Wohoo!! Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven drops TODAY!! πŸ₯Ά 🩡 πŸ‘ I'm super proud of everything I worked on for this truly MASSIVE expansion, and I cannot wait for players to explore all the cool stuff this DLC has to offer! πŸ₯° store.steampowered.com/app/3840050/...

It is a political choice to keep children in poverty whilst billionaire and multimillionaire wealth grows larger. @greenparty.org.uk has today written to the Chancellor urging her to use the next week's Budget to tax wealth fairly, cut bills and deliver real change.

Children of the Sun is a video game you can buy. It has received generally favorable reviews. If you don't believe it, that's what Wikipedia says. (Also it's 60% off right now in the @devolverdigital.com Publisher Sale if you feel like spending money πŸ‘€)

New at #SIGGRAPH2025: Can we make Perlin Noise stretch along some underlying vector field? Well it turns out it's possible with two simple additions to the original method! No need for advection or convolutions. Find the paper and implementations here: github.com/jakericedesi...

I spoke with the BBC this morning, commenting on invasive camera based tracking systems being rolled out in UK stores. As a game dev I have been uniquely exposed to the powerful computer vision technology that is now being used to track and analyse everyday shoppers... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If I can make it any clearer: This video I took back in 2019 shows a live demonstration of a similarly advertised computer vision system. In this demo you can see how people's movements are traced, their ages (poorly) estimated, and unknown 'visitors' are logged with an automatically assigned ID.

If any other journalists would like to talk more about this, then please get in contact via the email on my website. I'm keen to help more people understand the extent of tracking performed by these computer vision systems, & I've collated some astonishing claims from the companies making this tech

...and let me tell you, this instant replay system is pretty terrifying, but it's just the tip of the iceberg. I don't think most people understand that your ENTIRE BODY is being tracked and analysed: including you journey around the store, what you pickup and hold, and even where you're looking!!

Such a beautiful project! 🀩Each page becoming a space really changes how you explore, and how much time you spend with a each picture or paragraph. With that whole mind-palace memorisation trick, I really wonder if this medium lends itself to better recall of the explored topics.
