Passivestar continues to make me wish I invested time to learn vfx in Godot

I choose to believe this is how most 90s arcade race tracks were initially conceived #gaming #retrogaming #arcade

Hello! I still badly need work in narrative design or game writing etc. I’ve been in games for 20 years and I’m responsible for the mobile smash hit Lily’s Garden. I will take on full-time or contract work but I really need to pick something up soon. Please get in touch if you have/know of something

Gentle reminder…

Here are Dave and David's full unedited comments for those interested:

I'm very excited to see the character based on my likeness for myself in the game!

I've said it before: I genuinely consider it a moral imperative that people my age and up bang the drum about what the Internet used to be so those younger know that there's nothing inherent about what it is now. The Internet doesn't have to be this; its culture can and has belonged to people.

The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art) Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money www.federalreserve.gov/apps/proposa...

Spacefarer Games, a 1 person "indie game studio" steals Cyeides' Zera: Myths Awaken game, renamed it, recolored the textures and has it listed up on the Nintendo eShop. Spread the word that Spacefarer is a game thief! Support Cyreides, the original creator! cyreides.itch.io/zerama #videogames #psa

Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers. If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of: fund.godotengine.org

This applies to everyone, artists included. The adobe animate fiasco is a great example. The industry builds monolithic closed source expensive tools you get locked into, then they drop it the moment AI looks like it could make them more money. Support open source software! #Krita #Godot #Blender3D

I'm officially going ✨part-time✨ to make more free interactive guides for Godot!! You can support me on Patreon and get early access and cool rewards 😎 To celebrate, I made a free tween cheatsheet in 8 languages, available here: www.patreon.com/posts/tween-... #Godot #GameDev #Indie #GodotEngine

This is where I'll remind everyone of @nogamesforgenocide.com and their general ask that, out of solidarity with BDS and Palestine, products under the Xbox and Microsoft gaming umbrellas not be covered by journalists or influencers nogamesforgenocide.com

I’m making a #mecha action game in Godot based heavily on armoured core with a co-op missionette focus. I’ve been getting a lot of work done behind the scenes since I started 2 months ago, there’s a thread bringing everybody up to date with the project as it stands now 🧵1/4 #GodotEngine #GameDev

Not all of our concepts are shirty whiteboard sketches! These days we are very fortunate to be working with @ridgelowis.bsky.social on new character art for future hub areas.

I know this won’t get a lot of attention beyond “well it’s New Hampshire, what did you expect” but I want you all to know there are a lot of kids and families of color here and we all deserve better than this kind of garbage representation

Cancel. Genuinely. Cancel. A rejection at the border is a permanent mark against entry, forever. If you insist, follow dangerous territory protocols: know your embassy details, make sure someone knows your travel details, and have funds for emergency legal, health, and departure expenditures.

I am, in fact, triggered by someone being murdered by the Gestapo and our government lying about it and celebrating the murder. It’s time for decent people to decide where they stand — with the Gestapo and its supporters, the juvenile shitposting government, or with America.

This was something I was just discussing with friends that we thought was wild Godot did not support out of the box. This is great! The Godot Community continues to rule and be a huge boon

The Cardiff Lions do an annual Drag Rugby charity match for children’s charities and it’s as beautiful as you imagined

The rust laser tool now handles object occlusion / shadowing! Fun, tough little technical puzzle to figure it out but it lends such a sense of physicality to the tool #screenshotsaturday #screenshotsunday #gamedev #indiedev

This won’t be quite like any expo you’ve attended before. We’re tripling-down on being THE indie friendly event. Here’s how…

You will like my indie game if you played these games: - Portal 🌀 - The Talos Principle 🦾 - The Witness 🔌

Ok this rules: unstream.stream Looking for a way to support a musician directly? Like a way to buy their music or kofi or patreon or anything other than streaming? This app someone made shows places you can do that. Search for an artist, find their platforms, give them love. Really dig this.

Fortune 500 companies that have contracts with ICE: -Amazon -AT&T -Booz Allen Hamilton -Caci -Charter Communications -Comcast -Dell -Ecolab -FedEx -General Dynamics -L3Harris -Motorola -Thermo Fisher -UPS Know who profits from Trump's cruelty.

The Free Speech Union commissioned a "security" report on us, so we tested their security. Turns out - it sucks. We've now published the names of everyone who has donated to a FSU fundraiser, along with how much they gave and to which campaign. www.transbashback.com/fsu.html xoxo BASH BACK

It's all I want

A friend is making a cool simulation game around repairing giant mechas. Worth a look!

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

Read quoted thread in full. Change isn't something that will happen for us. All of us- *you*- have to be the one to enact it, starting with giving up "guilty pleasures" (ex: disneyplus) that fund cruelty. Conjoined effort. Look at the 2025 Target boycott as example.

To fellow #gamedev people: there are lots of events for making contacts and showing your game that are not in the US: MIGS / Gamescom / Taipei Game Show / TGS / Develop / etc. You do *not* need to attend GDC or DICE to survive. Found this resource; share any you have! gameconfguide.com

We’re adding a category to our IRL awards ceremony… The Bluesky’s Choice Award! And all you have to do is reply here with the game you believe deserves to win. You don’t even have to follow us 😉 *one nomination per account* *game must have released in 2025* *nominations close 31 Jan 2026*

Been awesome seeing (and reviewing) all of the improvements the rest of the dev team has been making. Can't wait to see what this leads to in OS 9!

Pretty disappointed in both @humblebundle.com and especially in @girlswhocode.bsky.social. Please teach girls how to code, don't push them into generative AI. That won't build their skills. Prioritize foundational programming skills and awaken their interest. "Tired of long days writing code"???

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 18 Was feeling bummed about never being able to live up to the things I look up to and that's just the wrong way to think about things like art and poetry and life So like, stop that, and junk

If "a Game Boy made with attack drone metal" doesn't make you think "maybe this isn't good": ModRetro is founded by Palmer Luckey, the founder of weapons manufacturer Anduril, a Trump fundraiser, and general shithead who went off the rails after Oculus made him a billionaire.

Art lives in the gap between the vision in your mind and what you are capable of achieving with your current skill set. If you try to bypass this gap, what is left will be devoid of soul.

trans kids should have access to healthcare. same as cis kids. ANYTHING that their parents and doctors think would have a positive impact. Not complicated.

One benefit of owning a home is that I finally have space to actually learn a couple of hobbies that I've been interested in for some time. Once the craziness of the holidays is over I'm going to start learning wood working

Had a good time in Philly to see @wtyppod.bsky.social and the art museum. The whole podcast crew are delightful people. Hope they can do more live shows. Got home to a dream like sunset!
