Hurrah! The Nintendo Switch port I’ve been working on is finally done - Moonring is out today! #gamdev #moonring www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/...

I’m curious how people organise their ‘entity’ setups in Godot. Examples I’ve seen: - Component-like. Generic root node, component nodes directly under, accessed via node path. - Inheritance + module nodes. Root node is specific type, with members to assign sub module nodes. - etc #godot #gamedev

I very much like Godot and how architecturally agnostic and flexible it is - but I still find myself missing a first-class component-system. Sure, you can emulate it using nodes, but a proper component system is more than just nodes-with-children, and filling those gaps is tricky. #godot #gamedev

Watching Tenet over the weekend has me contemplating if every Christopher Nolan film is secretly a high budget episode of Red Dwarf with all the humour removed and padded out by 2 hours. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EahH...

Looking into creating a small desktop GUI tool using something modern. Most tutorials assume you’re creating a business web app. “Obviously you want to use MVC/MVVM/Reactive/DI/Providers/Notifiers/State management.” No, I just want to hook up a few buttons to some data structures, thanks.

Excited to reveal Genie 2, our most capable foundation world model that, given a single prompt image, can generate an endless variety of action-controllable, playable 3D worlds. Fantastic cross-team effort by the Open-Endedness Team and many other teams at Google DeepMind! 🧞

Oh wow - just stumbled across sokol as an SDL/gpu alternative. It’s very impressive! github.com/floooh/sokol #gamdev

A short post on getting Emacs/Evil to work consistently with snake_case and camelCase, which was harder than I expected. blog.simoncarter.me/blog/emacs-e... #emacs #evil

Hurrah! Godot is getting in runtime game editing support in 4.4. godotengine.org/article/dev-... Looking forward to not having to support my hacked together workaround - though it still works if you need a solution in the meantime: github.com/bbbscarter/G... #godotengine #godot
