This is the blog of Stefan Reinalter, Managing Director at Molecular Matters. I have worked in the games industry for the past 15 years, and started my own company in 2012, developing middleware/technology for games companies.
I look forward to sharing my knowledge with like-minded people by delivering insights into the design and implementation challenges faced in developing our company’s product, the Molecule Engine.
Very very cool blog Stefan! Really informative & enlightening. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much, I appreciate it!
Following the blog with great interest and am learning a lot from it. When is the engine planed to be “finsished”, and what will the licensing be?
Thanks, glad you enjoy reading it!
First engine modules, as well as licensing and pricing schemes will become available in October 2012 – more modules will become available for licensing thereafter.
Come back to the main site at http://www.molecular-matters.com in the next few weeks, we’ll be adding more content and detailed information.
I found out about your blog today at gamedev.net. Those are some great articles you got there. Hope to read a lot more in the future 🙂 I guess those article will help me getting my engine together and avoiding some design failures along the way. I’m still pretty new to C++ and this low level stuff.
I wonder if you’re actually German? Your name sounds like it is.
Anyway best regards
Gavin
Thanks for the kind feedback, Gavin!
And to answer your question: I’m from Austria, right next to Germany. So you weren’t that far off ;).
Amazing stuff Stefan, we need more realtime radiosity solutions/middleware for gaming, will follow your work closely.
Your blog taught me a lot, I especially loved the “singleton is an antipattern” and the “adventures in data oriented design” articles. Hope to hear more on that as they’ve been very informative :]
Hi, Stefan. Thanks for the useful and informative blog.
Do you plan to write articles about the material system, resource management, render pipeline?
Yes, but there are other topics I want to write about first. I would like to have the time to write a blog post each day :).
Hm. Is blog dead? No updates since October 2013.
No, the blog is not dead. I simply didn’t have enough time for it.
The plan for 2014 is to blog more often, I’ve got plenty of good topics to blog about!
It’s great.
Very nice blog, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
How could I have missed this excellent blog?! Thanks to the Thrive team for pointing it out. Will definitely spend the next couple of days in my room reading every single post 😉
Thanks for the kind words, enjoy reading!
I definitely will 🙂
