I hope everyone is doing well. I just have a short post this month, which will include: The announcement of a new project, and my usual collection of interesting and impressive community showcase posts from the Discord server.
Handmade Seattle
First of all, I'd like to remind everyone that the window for purchasing tickets to Handmade Seattle is closing soon, so be sure to head over to the Handmade Seattle website and pick one up if you are planning to make it! There have been some more exciting details about the conference announced, including the announcement of new speakers, new projects, and more general conference details, so I recommend checking the news out.
New Project: Dan Zaidan's Break Arcade Games Out
Community member Dan Zaidan recently streamed a short series in which he programmed an entire game from scratch in C. The series features several interesting topics, like software rasterization, a multithreaded job system, and more! Additionally, the game that Dan worked on was just recently released on Steam.
This project was just accepted to the Network, so it has its very own page on the website! Check it out here.
Community Showcase
As always, I have a number of community showcase posts from the community Discord server to relay to you.

UglySwedishFisk's Raytracing Renderer
Community member UglySwedishFisk has been posting several demos of his raytracing renderer, written in Vulkan for RTX cards. A number of impressive features have been shown off. I've collected my favorite two pictures, but to see them all you'll need to checkout the #showcase channel yourself!
