#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/

always appreciated Dr. Moonhattan's arc

Yep, we'll be getting a lot of mileage out of this one

@techconnectify.bsky.social re: film photography: Do you scan your negatives after developing, or do you just go straight to enlargements since you have that equipment? If you scan, what's your setup?

i was not aware that the 2025 famicase gallery was online yet: famicase.com/25/

send help. i'm listening to piano covers on youtube and that always makes me think "i should take up the piano again..." 😩

@lorenschmidt.bsky.social hey, I really dig your Phosphor sprites! Is the font you used in those images available anywhere?

forgot I made this lol

seems as good an opportunity as any to dump some of my favorite 4chan posts

Whats the most important settings option in a indie game? By most important I mean the setting you check for the most in a game.

Help, I'm falling down the "custom split keyboard" rabbit hole

Finished Severance S1. Got on bluesky. Dodging spoilers like:

I made an itch page for the #VALLEY100. It's a work-in-progress but already includes an incredible collation of posts thanks to player @stephenie.bsky.social. This document is nearly 25,000 words long 😱 alfredvalley.itch.io/valley-100

FIRST AND FOREMOST: WHEELJAM has ended! Thank you so much to everyone who participated -- we received THIRTY-ONE entries!!! Go play! itch.io/jam/wheeljam... If your submission is NOT in, please reach out on our Discord! We will work with you, and the sooner the better! (more to follow)

I made a game for #WHEELJAM! Earth is under attack and the only people who can save it are moody teenage mecha pilots! Use the WHEEL to manage their emotions and save the planet in WHEELON ORIGIN WHEELVANGELION. neilmakesgames.itch.io/wheelon-orig...

TWO FRICKIN DAYS TILL #WHEELJAM BABY if you haven't signed up yet, GO SIGN UP THERE'S STILL TIME: itch.io/jam/wheeljam WE'VE GOT: - TEMPLATES IN UNITY, UNREAL, AND TWO IN GODOT - ART ASSETS YOU CAN USE - WHEEL PRIZES - EXTREMELY GOOD VIBES - WHEEL also @itch.io pls feature us thanks xoxoxoxoxoxo

Finally, an apron just for crying

hey godot devs: in case you've been getting lazy like me and started using get_tree.create_timer() instead of making timer nodes, just remember the former has a default process mode of "ALWAYS", meaning those timers do not pause when the game pauses... pls catch this now before you're in too deep...

#GodotEngine 4.4 is finally here! 🚀 Look forward to plenty of quality of life improvements hidden within this release. Faster load speeds, reduced stutter, streamlined processes, and more! godotengine.org/releases/4.4/

Happy Twin Peaks Day, my friends ☕️

my current idea for #WHEELJAM: "Neon Genesis Wheelvangelion" A strategy game where you're the only adult in the room and have to manage the emotions of a team of moody teenage mecha pilots. Wheel segments are the same as Oblivion: admire, joke, coerce, boast.

Same

Drawing is hard, yo. Mad props to anyone who has honed this skill. 😩

"Yes. Mark them now, huddled in their cages. Soon they will be like the canary released into the fireplace." The Baron is in good spirits. As we approach the start of Round 1, here's where our 100 participants reside. #VALLEY100

What's all this #VALLEY100 nonsense? In February I'm running a 100 person prison break / gauntlet on bluesky. I suspect it's going to be mayhem. You can still get involved if you're not playing. Cheer on the characters in the hashtag, give them advice, grant them your 𝖇𝖑𝖊𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖓𝖌.

Introducing Gaunt Alvin, a butcher with the back-end of a donkey costume, who was arrested for singing indecent songs. You don't often see a butcher so thin as this... SWEET SPOT: 2–18 LUCK: 3 ALIGNMENT: Odd STARTING LOCATION: 14 #VALLEY100

Finished Citizen Sleeper, had a great time. Gonna start Metaphor Refantazio next 😁

Played The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe to my satisfaction, now on to Citizen Sleeper 🙂

I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair or two cups of good hot black coffee.

Just finished the last book in The Expanse series. Man... What a ride.

If you're looking for work in gamedev, here's a thread of guides I've written about everything from setting freelance rates to writing a good cover letter I've been in gamedev for over 13 years and been on both sides of the interview table a lot, so these are all the things I wish I'd known 🧵 1/6

Thinking about Monday

Happy new year, I finally finished Disco Elysium! 😄

I got tired of seeing AI-generated #gamer bots following me and other #gamedev​s so I made a moderation list. You can subscribe to it and choose mute or block to keep your Bluesky interactions more human: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Mouthwashing is as good as everyone says it is 😄 Might need to give it a second playthrough like @jacobgeller.bsky.social suggested. 🤔

Reserving your .bsky.social username when adding a domain name is exactly what I was waiting for!

Beat Silent Hill 2 remake. What a game. Amazing from start to finish. Now to go find some explainer videos on YouTube and see what I may have missed 😄

Ran @mothership.bsky.social for some friends and had an absolute blast. Amazing game 😄

I just heard a high schooler say "The Rizzler on the Roof" and I may never recover

My favorite game jam has returned for another year, it's A Game By Its Cover 2024, where we make games based on fictional famicom cartridges! #AGBIC itch.io/jam/a-game-b...

Sometimes owning a black cat means thinking random vaguely cat shaped/sized black things are your cat.

seeing so many great artists on bluesky has me thinking maybe i should take up drawing again

Deleted all my tweets on that other site. Feels good 😄

👥 Bluesky users, we've got one more update for you today: You can now use your itchio subdomain as your Bluesky username. Learn more about it here: itch.io/t/4291217/us... NOTE: to prevent any funny business, this feature is only available for accounts that have spent at least 10 bucks on itchio

🔗 Seems like people are moving around between social media apps so new profile link options now available on your account settings page: You can set Bluesky, Mastodon, and Threads accounts by revealing the "More Links" section. All of these links will appear on your profile page.
