>>/ Hello Again Blue Sky i'm just here to inform u i bleached half my hair a few weeks ago and now Back To My Lurker Hole

>>/ when i tell u Dolls Night gave me community the last 3 months... it's honestly the greatest shit to happen in my life in the last year. love u all v much. i'm somewhere in the back left window lmao

>>/ sweater weather is upon us

>>/ i have come such a long way <3 it's been a little over two years of HRT and i wouldn't trade these two years for anything else. it saved my life.

The train has left the station, and you're the one driving! EXPERIENCE TRAINSANITY TOMORROW @shovelinc.bsky.social @adc-ax.itch.io @sine.fyi

TRAINSANITY me + @adc-ax.itch.io + @sine.fyi @shovelinc.bsky.social 🪏 AUG 14th

#func_godot 2025.8 for @godotengine.org is OUT! github.com/func-godot/f... @sine.fyi and I have been working on this for the past few months. While we didn't resolve everything we wanted to, we felt it was strong and stable enough for release. I'm really proud of what we pulled off on this one.

>>/ the store page for my short game WOOD for NOBODY ELSE is now live! check it out... store.steampowered.com/app/3849700/... #godot

>>/ i get what's going on with smooth groups now-- only a few little changes left to take it from per-surface to per-mesh (as different textures are different surfaces in #godot) >>/ finally! the entire purpose of the refactor: per-entity phong shading.. coming soon :)

>>/ i spent a little more time the last few days working on #func_godot again. we've got convex and concave collision shape generation working with the re-write, so only a few things are left to do -- phong & metadata for mapping concave collision shape faces to the mesh tris

We can build VMFs in #func_godot now. Team effort between myself and @sine.fyi. I've been handling parsing and entity assembly, she's been working on all things geometry because she's smarter at this stuff than I am. Pretty soon you'll be able to use Hammer with @godotengine.org. #gamedev

>>/ some of u really dont understand how open source software works, and that's fine, but i'm begging you to look into how the godot engine development *actually* happens and what the foundation *actually* does

Sponsors have absolutely zero influence over the project. They donate money with no strings attached, and in exchange they get a logo placement and a one time shoutout as a courtesy (if they want one). I do agree that it needs to be made more explicit as it's widely misinterpreted.

I think a lot of the ruckus is because people have varying expectation of the relationship between opensource software and sponsors, thinking that sponsor automatically means they have a seat in the control to poke the steering wheel, akin to shareholders. So clarity on it would be good.

>>/ 🥳🎉🥳 terrible job, mate 🥳🎉🥳

>>/ using my own apartment/bedroom as a reference for when you're not cutting logs for work. realizing i need more shit on the walls and furniture around here... #godot

>>/ y'all have seen other engine docs, right..... right?

>>/ working on real time mesh slicing again #godot

Hey Bluesky, I’m currently building my game LUCID in the Godot Engine. Can’t wait to share more, hope you enjoy! #Godot #GodotEngine #Gamedev

>>/ oh yeah first person weapon shader just got added into 3D materials 🥳 no more dpuble viewport or depth squishing

>>/ my game slamfire will also turn u red, but in a different way

>>/ happy pride month they turned me red

Ooh, neat, a feature was just checked into Godot to allow for first person weapons that won't stick through walls and can have a different FOV: github.com/godotengine/... Wonder if I should make use of that or just keep my super scaled down first person character (Hey, it works!):

>>/ gave the shotgun a 40mm makeover and now it can also shoot grenades

Custom volume decal shader for targeting / AoE markers. Decided to go with a bright outline and then inverted black and white interior for the AoE zone, for contrast against the saturated colored environment. #godotengine #gamedev #vfx #rtvfx #wip #shaders

>>/ implemented a dynamic crosshair today alongside bringing back weapons proper

>>/ remember to dirty those vertex colors...

>>/ there's never a better time to try #godot than today! don't want to pick up GDscript, coming from somewhere else? good news: C# and C++ are also really straightforward to set up out of the box, and the community offers support for rust and more :)

>>/ working some more on func_godot tonight -- tim's been cleaning up the map data parser (we're hoping for some lovely new feature support, and this is going to make it a lot easier in the future!). so far, i've been able to gut out a ton of legacy code, feels great to rip out all the crust!

>>/ sorry i've been a little slow with updates. i've been in a pretty fuckin bad place, but it's turning around. my third day being sober! :)

>>/ i forgot to compile with optimizations (oops lol) so many npc performance issues solved from Thin Air. hordes are gonna be a thing for sure now! #godot

glitch star #shader #glitchart

the price of Psycho Patrol R is only 0.5 Mario Karts. a great deal

>>/ <!> danger <!> warning <!> im turning you into swiss cheese <!>

>>/ the timeless classic Explosive Barrel

GodSVG, my free and open source SVG editor made in Godot, is getting physics simulation in the next alpha! 👩‍🔬 #GodotEngine #VectorArt #OpenSource

🔍 In search of the simplest way to scale GUI in Godot! 🕑 Took me a few weeks to finally get around to it, but here's the article on GUI scaling strategies and tips! humnom.net/thoughts/67b... #godotengine #godottips #uiux

>>/ visual upgrades while tearing down old code. >>/ i cannot tell you how grateful I am that #godot has a way to bake deformed vertex positions on a mesh directly. it made using enemies themselves as emission shapes way less painful to set up :)

>>/ explosive kick was such a great idea

>>/ im putting u front seat in the splash zone

>>/ forgot to do lighting but i kinda like the effect. i think i'm gonna do this on purpose in some places

>>/ writing like this at 5am and seeing the shadow people coming with pitchforks and torches

Fireball and mana pickup #GunmetalGothic #screenshotsaturday #GodotEngine #indiegamedev

>>/ been a minute -- i've started work on a combo system, some new graphics experiments and a quick restart system. how are you doing? #godot

Valve pinch a little code from Godot for Half-Life 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source, Team Fortress 2 #Godot #OpenSource #Steam #Valve #HL2 #CounterStrike #Gaming

when I started in Godot, I had many assumptions about its creators / contributors, their perspectives & approaches. “they don’t care about UX” “they’re in too deep to see the broader picture” “engine devs != game devs” the reality is WAY more complex. open source isn’t straightforward. #godot

>>/ Game Developer Saturday (2025)

It's been a long time coming, but we can finally announce that REBUILDING TRIUNFO, our upcoming corporate warfare card game, now has a demo! Illustrated by Alex Igkesias, @locobo.bsky.social and @polygonvvitch.bsky.social. Full release by April, we hope. [ datasparrow.itch.io/rebuilding-t... ]
