Yesterday, Étienne Alby (Founder of Quantumacy SASU) had the privilege of delivering a talk on Metaprogramming at the Toulouse Game Dev (TGD) Meetup gathering.

Our heartfelt appreciation goes out to Maxime, Julien, and the entire engaged audience for their warm reception, thoughtful questions, and the overall dynamic exchange of ideas. As promised during the talk, you can find the slides used below.

Considering our talk's original French audience, only French language slides have been made available; but rest assured that an English translation is coming shortly!

Furthermore, we will provide a basic sample that exemplifies the practical application of the information presented in the slides by showcasing a simple case of the T4 template language in a Visual Studio solution mixing C# and C++.

We are thrilled to share the exciting news! The game from Velan Studio we had the privilege to contribute, Hot Wheels: Rift Rally, is set to release on March 31st, 2023. We eagerly await players diving into this immersive experience and hope they find as much joy in playing as we did in contributing to its creation.

The captivating challenge of merging the digital and physical realms through Augmented Reality has been an exhilarating journey. Our collaboration with Velan Studios on their custom engine, Viper, proved to be an enlightening and enriching experience.

During the initial stages of our collaboration, beginning in November 2020, our focus was on adapting and optimizing the game engine for iOS. We spearheaded this process throughout pre-production, addressing platform-specific issues, ensuring the rendering functioned correctly, and enhancing performance. Moreover, we collaborated closely with Velan's Artistic Director to craft the cel-shading shaders featured in the initial vertical slice, further enriching the visual experience.

As the production phase commenced, our main efforts transitioned towards optimizing the game's UI/UX and tackling the unique challenges of adapting controller inputs for a touch-based platform. We engineered three distinct input methods: button-based, virtual joystick, and gyroscopic motion. In addition, our team designed a scalable and adaptable UI system, catering to the diverse range of sizes and resolutions encountered across various devices.

We take pride in our adaptation of the game menu map, ensuring they resemble and function similarly to real-world GPS navigation on mobile devices, enhancing the overall immersion.

Collaborating with talented game development teams like Velan Studios and Octane Technologies on this international project has been an absolute pleasure, with the shared passion for innovation leading to remarkable outcomes.

We invite you to play this awesome game and check more detail at the official page: Hot Wheels Rift Rally.
