With a knack for puzzles, arcades, and simulation games. In such a highly competitive space, innovation is the key to creating new opportunities, and we've seen that with the rise of Physical Match and Tile Match games.

I wanted a colony sim where other settlements around you aren’t just a static backdrop, but parts of a living, simulated world. Without it, rendering the 800.000 tiles that compromise the game map became problematic, so the team had to spend a week on optimizing that. Interacting with the wider world is entirely optional.

With a knack for puzzle, arcade, and simulation games. While Match-3 remains the dominant force in this competition, we've seen other subgenres like Merge taking the second place, while others, like Tile Match, showed potential but ultimately fell short. Yet, recently, Blast games haven't significantly innovated their core mechanics.

The payload registers are the mechanism NVIDIA OptiX offers for passing arbitrary data along with a ray, from the caller that traces a ray, and back. This payload mechanism is very lightweight, similar to passing arguments to a function. Improved customization and performance NVIDIA OptiX 7.4 Image Courtesy © 2021 Koke Nunez.
