Question to #godot users: do you rely on tileMapLayer custom data or do you prefer to keep data in a dictionary with something like atlas position -> data? I'm a bit reluctant to keeping so many things in the editor (tilesets already store a lot of information!)

Announcing the line-up for ThinkyCon 2025! 🎉 Tune in for 3 days of amazing talks from the makers of your favorite puzzly games! thinkygames.com/even...

as much as I hate modern AI stuff, there's this sentiment floating around that LLMs are almost always wrong, but that's just not true I think it's better to attack LLMs/GenAI for the actual bad things it does, rather than overstating things it doesn't really do that horribly with

Best creature design in all Dragon Ball ever.

Hehe, I found the keys I lost like... three months ago? Supper happy because it was a Terminator 2 keychain I like a lot.

I have absolutely no idea where this is going to but had fun doing it. I saw Tsuro, the board game, and wanted to do something in that line (haha). Maybe that red dot wants to get somewhere? Maybe there are a few of them? Maybe tiles explode if they are trodden too much? #love2d #prototype #indiedev

I don't know who needs to hear this right now, but to any indie devs feeling bad because their game didn't sell or wasn't played as much as you wanted: You still made a god damn video game. You did it, and that's harder than anything most people will do. I'm proud of you, you did great.

Not what I expected, I want my money back!

That stupid feeling that goes like "I'm not making videogames lately" when I've made 12 for a client since mid July, one for another client released last month and if things go well, three more from here to April. Minigames, obviously, but it's #videogames and #gamedev after all.

Whaaaat? It's Roguelike Celebration already? Where did 2025 go?? www.roguelike.club/event2025.html #roguelikes #roguelikedev #talks

First time we try Tonks! at home, using SuperThing vehicles with character orientation being the turret and assorted objects on the table as obstacles. Fun squirmish game that can be played almost anywhere with three 2d6 and 1d8. #tonks #squirmish #boardgame

Best part of Unity's security vulnerability is that it forced all my current clients to finally update their games to a Unity version that is not more than three years old! :D

This is hilarious - antifa's strategies are indeed sofisticated! Are You US people ok? Things look crazy from the outside! Because this looks fun on one side (keep ridiculing your government!) but also scary as hell. www.reddit.com/r/DailyShow/...

Hope you had lots of fun this weekend in #ludumdare. I hope I can join next one!

Wow, I did not expect the first edition of #comicCon in Spain to be good, just because well, it's a first edition. But it has been incredibly worse than expected! This is criminal! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zEu...

Oh no! There's a Ludlum Dare this weekend and I won't be able to enter! I was really looking forward to it :'(

Every time I have to publish something to Google Play I lose years of life. If they tried to make it more obscure and cumbersome, they would miserably fail.

Wait a moment... Coroutines in #godot are as simple as just using await get_tree().process_frame or an amount of time? Just made a character move and rotate from point A to point B in a function with a while loop that contains an await and it works? There's a catch, right? There must be.

That's the end of #FallingBlockJam! We got over 200 entries!! These games look INCREDIBLE, thank you to everyone who participated! itch.io/jam/falling-...

Well, well, it trapped a fly by itself! Well done. Little Audrey! #venusFlytrap

Well, it seems I'm back to Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. Shouldn't have read Dungeon Crawler Carl, because it's basically a tutorial. #roguelike

After Picard (interesting), Discovery (fun then boring), TNG (great) and SNW (absolutely fantastic) I'm watching Enterprise. Five chapters into it, so far, it's fun and refreshing! I love how everything seems new to the crew and the inside of the ship feeling like a submarine. #startrek

#GodotEngine 4.5 has finally arrived! 🎉 With this new release, we made meticulous efforts in order to amplify what is possible to do with our engine, guided by our goal of making gaming and game development for everyone! godotengine.org/releases/4.5/

Nothing to see here, just lost of hexes in #love2d But it's exciting nevertheless, because hexes are sexy as hell :D

Last night I died in a dream. I clearly remember tripping on a high platform and falling for a few seconds. I woke up suddenly (though not sitting up in bed drenched in cold sweat like in the movies). It's been a long time!

The Play for Peace: Games for Palestine charity bundle is now live! Nearly 400 games from creators all around the world, with proceeds going directly to Gaza relief efforts. Bundle link: itch.io/b/2979/play-... We made a launch trailer to celebrate this moment👇 Please RT.

No Man's Sky corvettes are the most fun addition so far! You can build your own spaceship with useful modules, fly it through space and land or planets (or skydive to the surface). Looking for parts and upgrades is a great motivator to keep playing! Hello Games deserves the best.

Just found when trying to configure my mother in law's Chromecast that her #Netflix basic plan with ads DOES NOT CAST. I find Netflix plans so incredibly predatory that I prefer to buy her a Chromecast TV than telling her to pay for the standard no ads service.

How to waste two hours of your life: installing a ceiling fan that ends up not working, so you have to uninstall it to try getting a refund. Oh, store is more than half an hour away and you'll probably waste there another hour, so make it four hours of your life

dears, our little game engine's steam page is now also online!~ wishlist if u like and try the demo at www.wareware.rip :3 store.steampowered.com/app/3726810/ #gamedev #indiegames #threejs

New obsession unlocked: watching people making little #tonks for Tonks!, a quick skirmishes game. I doubt I'll ever make one (may make a digital version, tho!) but they look soo nice! Like this guy's here: youtu.be/mzOK_x6tngw?...

I wish people would be so against eating animals as they are against using AI because of environmental reasons...

I own three Nintendo Switch (two Lite). Mine and my kids'. Can't play my games unless I go through the whole synch thing with only ONE of the other consoles?? This system is stupid and abusive, I hope I'm misunderstanding something...

It's been so fun bringing a more trippy visual style back into our game! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

Ok, next game dev framework to test: #raylib! It was about time. Not sure about going full c, it's been ages and I am not sure I would enjoy its stiffness. On the other hand I would be happy using just structs and functions, no OOP in sight. But maybe it's more fun with #Lua bindings? Do you use it?

Hello bsky💫, first post here Sharing some pixel art that I'm enjoying doing a lot lately always loved ps2 Primal ,even with its quirks, here's a small tribute #pixelart #ps2 #primal

#love2d users, don't you miss that your games could be played on HTML5 on mobile devices? In #Pico8, HTML5 builds come, for free, with on-screen gamepad and buttons. Doesn't work for all games, but it makes things easy to share :) That said, I'm not sure how many people actually play that way...

Löve2D would be awesome if I could debug properly and export to HTML5! But mainly debugging xD It seems Zerobrane Studio makes it easy to debug Lua, I should try it!

I'm... having fun with Godot? Way more straightforward than other engines. Maybe I should invest more time on it, at least as a hobby game engine? Funny, because I was waiting for Picotron, not for... well, Godot. By the way, this roguelike tutorial is fantastic selinadev.github.io/05-roguelike...

I finished Doom: the Dark Ages. And... Well, I enjoyed the combat at first, but it gets a tad repetitive soon if you rely too much on melee. The story, though... Agh. I couldn't care less for it all. I think Doom doesn't need all that story, and being plain bad does not help. #doom #gaming

Civilization VI is free on Epic these days and well, maybe it's time to play again since Alpha Centauri! #Civilization

I watched South Park a lot when it first started, then stopped, so I'm not in the loop. But... is the dictator dating Satan a recurring joke, or did they just bring it back from the old Hussein gag I remember from the early episodes? 😂 #SouthPark #Satan #Dictator

DON'T STOP CALLING. email them if you want, sure, but the fact that they are requesting people to *email them instead* (presumably because emails are much easier to ignore) means that the calls are WORKING, i.e. becoming a massive nuisance and interrupting workflow. once again, DON'T STOP CALLING.

It's already been a few days since the launch, and we still haven’t said anything! We're really bad at this... Luto has been a deeply personal project over the past few years, and seeing it resonate with so many people has been the greatest gift. Thank you, truly 🖤.

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached. They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others. Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further. #UBI doesn’t kill ambition, it frees it.

there is no route through the control of pornography and queer views that doesn't have an endpoint in the erasure of non heteronormative public life and domestic slavery of women; they are part and parcel of the modern patriarchial social complex
