  • Not sure where we would include any game-specific tutorials. For now, we could link to them from History of Polycount, but eventually we may need a dedicated section (not really a Discipline or a Tech).
  • Game Statistics can be linked from Game Industry. Shaders can be linked from Game Technology and from Presentation.
