Article Latest postPublicI made a T-shirt.People always tell me I should put the things I say on shirts so I decided to do just that. I'd love to hear your feedback.
Sep 13, 2019 0 likes 0 commentsStatus UpdateI've been mostly silent about my activity since I put VK9 on hold. I've tried a few things and contributed to some other open source projects like CosmosOS. I'll be posting more information once I get a proof of concept but currently I'm working on software which converts MSIL to SpirV. The idea being that you can write a shader in C#, do CPU side unit tests and then execute on the GPU using vulkan. This is still an experiment but I wanted to share what I've been working on.ArticleJul 2, 2019Public 0 0Taking a BreakHey guys, I wanted to give you all a heads up that I'll be taking a break from VK9. I've been working on VK9 for nearly 3 years. I'd like to take some time off to pursue other interests. If any of you wish to cancel your contributions I completely understand and thank you for your support thus far.ArticleFeb 12, 2019Public 0 6Which Games?Dec 30, 2018ArticleDec 30, 2018$1 tier & up 1 11VK9 - Milestone 29 CompletedVK9 has reached it's 29th milestone. Reaching this milestone required further shader enhancements including support for applications which set a vertex shader but no pixel shader. In addition to this there are a number of fixes including proper NOOVERWRITE support which fixed the graphical corruption in UT99. This release also no longer depends on the push descriptor extension so VK9 should now be compatible with the closed source AMD driver. New 32bit and 64bit builds are available on Github.ArticleDec 15, 2018Public 0 1Happy Thanksgiving!This will be a short post due to the holidays but I wanted to let all of you know how grateful I am for this community full of awesome people. On the VK9 front I'm working on fixed function lighting fixes and a member of the community is working on a patch for the shader converter to add support for additional instructions.ArticleNov 22, 2018Public 0 0VK9 StatusOct 27, 2018ArticleOct 27, 2018$1 tier & up 0 0UT99 over Vulkan with VK9Sep 29, 2018 View postArticleSep 29, 2018Public 0 3VK9 - Milestone 28 CompletedSep 29, 2018ArticleSep 29, 2018Public 0 0VK9 - Milestone 27 CompletedVK9 has reached it's 27th milestone.

However, during my work to reach that level of functionality I've made the "Off-Screen Rendering" sample work. I put an early release build on the premium supporter channel on Discord for those of you that can't wait for the next milestone release.ArticleJul 28, 2018Public 0 0VK9 - Milestone 26 CompletedVK9 has reached it's 26th milestone. Reaching this milestone required enhancements to the fixed function texture stage handling. This release also includes further improvements to the shader translation and community provided 64bit improvements.
