Local news is incredibly important. It brings so much warmth to my heart to get local newspapers dropped off on my doorstep, and it's really cool that #Winnipeg folks are working hard to make it more accessible and findable. I love my city

Surprise! Sort the Court's had a big update! 👑✨ It's now playable on mobile, with a new "quests" feature, and - thanks to the awesome team at @riotloc.bsky.social - it's now in French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Japanese! This new version is available on @poki.com: poki.com/en/g/sort-th...

Me, @benbergman.ca and @overtonewarpzone.bsky.social did a game jam, and have a big post-jam update nearly ready, but need some playtesters to help bring it over the finish line. (play the game, take screenshot, fill in a short form) i.e. Want to playtest a short Deck-Builder? :) Then DM one of us.

We hadn't received a signal in a long, long time. #art #artsky #illustration #fantasyart #digitalart

Starter Kit: Racing for @godotengine.org is now available! 🎉 Easy to understand code, fully open-source & 3D models included! It's a little rough around the edges, but feel free to do pull requests if you can improve on it! github.com/KenneyNL/Sta... #gamedev #gameassets

A look behind the curtains (or behind the canopy? 😜). The collision geometry is completely rigid. To fake the look of physical response, the shader just has a single radial wave that is reinitiated for every impact detected. #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

I just got my copy! ☕☕🧟‍♀️🧟‍♀️

I am drunk on power after realizing Godot lets you embed textures in RichTextLabels, and well... ViewportTextures are textures. 🤯 #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

Geometry Nodes are finally starting to make sense to me. This rules.

Are you all staying warm, out there in internet land?

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

My first thought when making a solo mode for a chess-like game was "What's the point? How could you ever simulate a meaningful game of chess without simply doing chess puzzles?" Then I had the idea to make it sort of like a top-down arcade shooter... no, stay with me... 😅 🎲✂️ 1/5

Orienting a RigidBody with precision timing requires something beyond a naïve "accelerate-towards-target" method. Here's a slow-motion comparison between the naïve method vs. what I call the "Akira slide". Green line indicates acceleration. #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

Making Penguin Festival's VR gameplay trailer was really challenging, but also fun and rewarding. Here's a little postmortem for my own posterity but also in case anyone else finds it helpful! #gamedev #indiedev #GodotEngine

Pitching your game to print media? Here’s a thread full of tips! Always send screenshots in PNG format. JPEG compression blurs sharp edges and creates ugly artefacts that look even worse once printed at 300 DPI. Where possible, submit your screenshots at 4K resolution. Or native res for pixel art.

My first title, Little Rocket Lab, has now been out for a week, and it's been huge for myself and @nomorerobots.io. We're at over 80,000 players, and a 93% positive rating on steam. I wanted to share some of what guided Little Rocket Lab's development, so that maybe it could be helpful to others 🧵:

your #blender3d import looks no good in #godotengine? the import workflow has incosistencies in rendering & lighting. in this thread i will search the differences in PBR & shading and point to some potential pitfalls.
