Fantastic explanation! The first part about what actually causes the parallax effect is such a great example of "a picture is worth a thousand words".

[Tomatech]

Whenever I've tried upscaling, I've always made my base resolution be 640x360, so that it can scale to 720p displays when multiplied by two, and 1080p displays when multiplied by three

This is amazing! I’m actually a developer, and shader stuff has NEVER made sense. I understand the physical lights and concepts and such, but programming them makes no sense to my brain because it’s just so different than other languages

[capsey_]

I remember being very frustrated with how Unity's pixel perfect 2D camera works and this all is exactly how I wanted it to behave. Learning shaders is definitely something I need to do, I've seem so much cool stuff people do with them and your videos are big inspiration as always! ❤

[boatbomber]

Your visual explanations are so good! Love the animations, they're really helpful. I'm very excited to see more about the volumetrics!

[bnckatona]

The production quality of your videos blows me away every time. Such a nice and clean explanation with great visuals. Can't wait for the next devlog

[clementesepulveda]

You can tell this video was made with a lot of care. Really impressive stuff (visuals and also the technical)

[someonewithsomename]

Honestly, the quality is so high and you explain everything so entertaining, I'd watch you explaining how to peel a potato for an hour straight!

[BvngeeCord]

Your videos remind me of why programming is fun. I've recently become less and less fullfilled by what used to be so fun, as I've dived into linux and gotten lost in configuration. Shit like this is why I started, and what keeps me going. Thank you

[smokeback]

Came across your channel while on game research and subbed amazing logic for a dev learning.Look forward to your game

[marcelbricman]

the effect of the ‚offset later‘ aproach is just beautiful!

[the-guy-beyond-the-socket]

a lot of people already said that, but i just want to thank you for such a great videos about explaining mechanics.

[gofrisuto]

Waiting for this was an agony, but if waiting means that you can produce videos in this level of quality, then I will wait till the end of the time.

these devlogs are impressive! I'm excited for astortion, but I'm also certain that your content has already made an impact on the medium.
props on creating a communication template that other people can adopt, and even releasing your own software... your contributions are outstanding and inspiring
thanks!

broski, this is awesome. thank you so much for being this smart and nice enough to show everyone on youtube :D

[SFotakos]

Absolutely incredible how well parallax was explained.
I knew how it was supposed to look, but understanding why was absolutely fantastic.
Awesome content!

[aswin-murali]

Damn not only do you have the knowledge, you spend time to make it easier for us to understand! Only few people actually do that. Keep going man!

[evanpie]

These devlogs have inspired me so much to jump into programing once more, that are explained in such a simple and easy to understand way!

[pranshuchittora]

Your videos are like reading research papers. In-depth, insightful and full of learnings.
