Amazing time at GodotCon. Got to experience the beautiful city of Amsterdam, learned a lot from the talks and even got a tour @studio.blender.org As always, and especially coming from a remote part of the world, the core of these events is getting to know amazing people from different cultures.

Did you know you can set up a scene and render it to a texture without any nodes in #Godot, by directly using the RenderingServer? We automatically generate billboard sprites for meshes this way. There's not much info about the RenderingServer online, so I wrote about it: hexaquo.at/pages/using-...

Entering the cave level (draft) in #Hellrule. 💡Remember the game is already released on Google Play and the App Store. 100 % free, no ads, no purchases. Levels (like the one depicted here under construction) are added in updates. #godotengine #screenshotsaturday

Great collection of extensive articles on the architecture of a large number of (older) consoles, good read! www.copetti.org/writings/con...

He tenido el honor de ser entrevistado por Javi del @msdosclub.bsky.social para uno de sus episodios 'floppy'. Cuando veo mi nombre entre la lista de protagonistas de otras entrevistas, con tanta figura ilustrísima, no sé si me entra síndrome del impostor o qué, pero algo. msdos.club/floppy-110-g...

Built using the @w4games.com Switch port of @godotengine.org! Excited to get this out in a few weeks. Pre-order now!

Given @vscode.dev won't address the feature request to allow easy change of the GUI font— github.com/microsoft/vs... —, I've done one of the typical hacks: patching the CSS with a script I can run after every update. Now I have usable scrollbars and readable code in search-replace!

Only a clock with hands sweeping smoothly—continuously—should be called 'analog'. If they move in steps, that clock is as digital as one with a numeric display, as both are 'discrete.' But it has no 'digits,' so 'digital' isn't a legit term either. What about 'pseudoanalog' or 'digital-in-disguise'?

The iPhone 8 was cute. Perfect size, low weight. Maybe too slippery. I bought one as a testing device and I find myself considering adopting it as my regular phone despite me being an Android-first user.

Happy to finally announce that we helped bring this precious, cozy #GodotEngine game to #NintendoSwitch! 🥳 This is our biggest game port so far, and it vastly helped us polish and improve our Godot 4.5 port. 💪

These were some very intense couple of days. But I wrapped up 𝐌𝐎𝐋𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐄, a small narrative horror game about getting to the ROOF of your appartment building with a horrible foot fungus. Play it now on @itch.io : picster.itch.io/moldrise Of course made in #GodotEngine #gamedev #godot #horror

One of my best decisions so far this year: configuring the following keyboard shortcuts in @vscode.dev: - Alt+O: Switch between .h and .cpp. - Alt+U: Switch between normal and VCS diff views.

What an interesting read! android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/02/unde... I wonder, though, why it took them so long to realize the optimization opportunity.

[...] a community on a Discord server.

A cozy place to be in.

Wouldn't you say there's a reasonable resemblance between the #GodotEngine logo and a rubber monster my kid got in one of those balls you buy for 1 € in a nearly gambling machine?

It's not only about the capabilities of the engine, but also about artistic taste and direction, and intelligence to combine both.

What an information-dense and fun to read article on such a tricky topic. I myself keep learning about multi-threading nuances.

#Hellrule 's level 2-2 is complete and about to be rolled out in the next update! All the level titles in this 100 % free game are a pun or a reference to pop culture. Do you get the reference in this one? #ScreenshotSunday #GodotEngine

For the next update of #Hellrule (along with lots of enhancements and a new level), the atmosphere of the first boss battle has changed (left is current, right is former). I'd love to know your thoughts. #ScreenshotSaturday #GodotEngine

My "How to Vulkan in 2026" @vulkan.org #Vulkan guide is now publicly available at www.howtovulkan.com I still consider it a preview, though I'm mostly happy with it and only plan on changing minor things and incorporating some feedback.

Let me bother you with this again. I spent some effort on it and I think it's cute. 😃

Many will understand I regret having used 'ai' here. But—hey!— that was 8 years ago. (Anecdotally, in a commit originally done to the SVN incarnation of the repo, later imported into Git.) #Hellrule #GodotEngine

Happy New Year, everyone! 🥳 We’re kicking off 2026 with special discounts on our #NintendoSwitch games. Check them out below! 👇 rawrlab.com/eshop

Last day of the year. Got up early to work a bit on #Hellrule until family awakes. Wishing you all a terrific New Year! ( #GodotEngine, by the way. 😃)

Pedrocorp wishes you and all its users and players a Merry Christmas.

Something is broken in #Hellrule. As a witness, we have this case where our hero falls into the pit. The screen loop logic in this infinite level failed to apply to the ground stripe. (144 fps in the dev-only label, as the game now supports high refresh rates!) #screenshotsaturday #godotengine

I've joined the problematic group! Pedrocorp has donated the following PRs targeting 3.x: github.com/godotengine/... github.com/godotengine/... github.com/godotengine/... github.com/godotengine/...

Secrets of Direct3D 12: The Behavior of ClearUnorderedAccessViewUint/Float - new post on my blog. asawicki.info/news_1795_se...

My "No Graphics API" blog post is live! Please repost :) www.sebastianaaltonen.com/blog/no-grap... I spend 1.5 years doing this. Full rewrite last summer and another partial rewrite last month. As Hemingway said: "First draft of everything is always shit".

Today I saw a full moon, so I though this screenshot from a still unreleased level of #Hellrule would be a good fit for this #screenshotsaturday.

This has been a great year for the engine, but there are still a lot of things we would love to do. If each person visiting our website donated €5, we could hire 5 more developers to work on Godot full-time. 👉 fund.godotengine.org

The z-buffer and depth testing (aka z-testing) have been the dominant way of hidden surface elimination for over 50 years, introduced but not implemented in W. Straßer's PhD thesis in 1974, and actually implemented in Ed Catmull's PhD thesis in the same year. 1/4

I'm very happy the Direct3D 12 driver that I originally wrote has become mature enough (thanks to other contributors, such as @dariosamo.bsky.social) to be now the default on Windows for #GodotEngine. github.com/godotengine/...

Someone asked if 'Hellrule' (pedrocorp.net#hellrule) can be played with a keyboard attached to the phone. At first, I said no, but then I realized the key map, despite added for debugging, is still functional in release builds. 👉Left Shift: Jump 👉Left Control: Crouch 👉Spacebar: Slash

Did you ever want to develop a game with #GodotEngine 1.0? Its binaries were lost to time, but earlier this year I fixed compilation with modern toolchains, so I could rebuild it for desktop platforms. That's now merged: github.com/godotengine/... Downloads: github.com/godotengine/...

Taking a moment to praise OBS's update system: - Clear and handy options: update now, remind me later, skip version. - Wanna update? It downloads the new version, installs it over the current and lets you run the updated version right away, all seamlessly.

Congratulations to our partner @chasingcarrots.bsky.social!  #HallsOfTorment is now available on #PS5 and #Xbox (Optimized for Xbox Series X|S), brought to console with our 1-click W4 Consoles #GodotEngine solution.
