Following the recent release of Vulkan API, gamers around the world are making first tests for the mentioned new API graphics. One of the eager future Vulkan fans are the guys from AnandTech who have tested new API release on standard GPU with Windows 8.1. You can read their whole review here.
General conclusion is that the implementation so far is better than expected but in the future we can expect further improvements. Hopefully the developers will know how to use Vulkan API more efficiently.
One of our partners in crime, AMD, are satisfied with the ongoing collaboration on our latest game The Talos Principle.
“AMD collaborated with Croteam to implement Vulkan™ into Serious Engine, igniting the next chapter in AMD’s continued work in the low-overhead API space,” said Graham Sellers, Fellow Software Architect, AMD. “Along with Croteam, we are thrilled enable the acclaimed title, The Talos Principle, for Vulkan™ on Radeon graphics to help bring enhanced experience and performance for gamers.”
We are eager to hear for more test reviews soon.
While it may appear that this game is always on some sort of sale, it’s not. It’s just that our marketing team (IT’S ME, THE GUY WHO’S TYPING THIS, HI!) has been kind of lazy when it comes to news updates.
No philosophy to it – get it now, it’s a great game. Don’t take our word for it, check out the reviews.
There seems to be a lot of media interest for Croteam’s support of Vulkan API in existing and upcoming games, especially after this comment on a forum.
We asked Dean Sekulic, Croteam’s Senior Programmer, to confirm the story.
“Yes, it’s true. The Talos Principle will be our first game to support the Vulkan API. The game is already available on PC, PS4, OS X, Linux and even Android, so I thought – why not add Vulkan to Serious Engine? I mean, it was the easiest feature ever, it only took me five minutes or so to implement it. Here, take a look.”
After seeing the first screenshot we weren’t quite convinced that was the support Khronos Group is looking for. We confronted Dean about it and asked him if he read the official specifications at all?
“No. Of course not! But it won’t stop me from speaking about it at this years GDC official Vulkan panel. And if you disagree, I’ll be available for questions after my lecture.”
Dean was equally straightforward about the time frame for the upcoming patch that will add Vulkan functionality:
“Soon.”
We were terrified to ask anything else. But YOU could try.

We are celebrating Talos anniversary and we couldn’t be more proud of it. On December 11th one year ago The Talos Principle was released on Steam.
Thank you guys for supporting us, we really appreciate it.
Now we are ready to make more great games starting with Serious Sam 4. We will keep you up to date with all the news. Follow us on our social media pages, Facebook and Twitter.
According to unofficial sources, there were as many as 50.000 visitors at this year’s Reboot InfoGamer. Croteam was one of the 100 exhibitors at one of the biggest games shows in Europe, but for us it wasn’t about the record numbers or spectacular booths (although we did try to build a very pretty one). For us, it was about hanging out with fans.
It involved a lot of creativity, too. We had to come up with different answers to everybody’s favorite question: ‘When will you release Serious Sam 4?’ It’s just not polite to bark ‘When it’s done!’ for the thousandth time.
So we came up with this great trick and asked back – ‘Why don’t you tell us?’ or ‘Ask not what Sam can do for you, but whether you can do C++ for Sam’. We ended up hiring the ones whose answers we liked the most.
The officials at the Reboot InfoGamer released this recap video, insisting on this awful dubstep track for some reason. For maximum viewing pleasure we recommend muting the sound and watching the video with a chiptune-punk-folk track of your own choice.
