Thinking about putting a pngtuber together for a weekly short stream on the #gamedev, #Godot and #XR. I want to do studio updates but also an office hours help format for Godot and XR Devs.

The world is a bit shit right now, but we have been here before. People talk a lot about post-WW2 reform, but let's look at the Victorian era. It was actually a period of reform fixing the horrors of the Georgian era. Once again greed caused poverty, and it took people of privilege to fight back. 🧵

More and more I value empathy, nuance and positivity from people. In that order. The smartest people I know are curious and compassionate.

Penguins are wrapping it up today. Happy Holidays to all

Hot Take: China is the biggest econ Most the systems which put US above China are mostly biased by artificial debt/econ activity which are designed to look good on paper. The "winner" wrote the metrics.

Great point about broad audience support an weaponizing minority cases. Esp for #godot Andreas talks about the issue the DOTS team faces is that to make performant engine and enable cool features is often actively blocked by minority use cases Members only video atm youtu.be/31pU_efemCg?...

There is nothing like writing out Christmas cards to remind you of all the lovely people in your life. Thanking them and reminding them they are loved but also in turn it fills your heart to know you have these people. Don't listen to the net, or your demons. Reach out <3

Doing weekly One Shots with my #ttrpg table for December because campaign in holidays is a mess. Tonight is Mum's Chums from @floaker.bsky.social Great game I played at Contingency a year ago and backed on KS. floaker.itch.io/mum-chums

I'm so excited for Blender 5.0 to support volumetric data properly now. From Dreams to Modeller I've been championing Volumetric stuff.

2025 has been a rollercoaster year or some the darkest personal moments, family health and stuff mostly outside my control, and some of the greatest highlights. Most of the bad stuff happened last winter and then it's been a year of healing, rebuilding and getting to a better place. Net positive 💕

Bad enough democracy is up for sale, but at £5k for this level of access AFTER people have been warned about state actors and openly identifying as working on behalf of China. youtu.be/HKofLc2lDZk

The reality of WW2 is it was the fire sale of the British Empire which funded it. We sold off everything cheap, capitulating trade agreements, sold private UK industry like American Viscose Corporation for pennies. We gave away a lot including payments to the US until 2006.

I can't provide further details due to NDAs, but have just been given the green light to confirm Godot runs on Steam Frame. There will be a PR soon to address controller support, hopefully in time for 4.6, but in the mean time Frame works with the touch profile.

Coding hard, background YT reminded me of this gem from 1999 PS : Double Life Ad youtu.be/QIW4HMl81hw It's easy to forget how on the pulse of culture PlayStation was esp in Europe. It was the perfect ad for Europe at the time, but it was also VERY BRITISH. Local LEADERSHIP not just footprint matter

Going slightly mad with PS5 + No Man Sky texture bugs. I've rebuilt the cache and still getting issues. Is my savefile toast? It's really robbing the joy to have constant texture corruption esp in UI & Discoveries Anyone know how to fix?

Roll us a giant Nah, but I got some dwarf's moss. It'll really blow your mind. Last time I took it, I saw fairies for three days!

Just got AI to summarise all my commits as I prep a massive PR of work I've been on/off since SEPTEMBER! Big oof #gamedev #godot but yeah we are back to progress and shipping mode!!! It produced a long report but this opening line was a gut punch because yeah it was.

I'm still upset about the stealth privatisation of the NHS through the budget yesterday. With PPP (PFI 2.0) and "neighbourhood care centres". They know they can't be too obvious. So they go private by using sub contractors and private finance initiatives racking public services with DEBT.

Oh this is actually a nice budget one they are cracking down on offshore gambling. Going up to 40%. Very nice though I do wonder what that will do to ad spend from those companies in the UK market. Shocking how much betting ad work supports creatives. Though I consider this a win for people overall

More property and asset tax is good but its a TINY amount. The real scary part of the UK Budget is #NHS PFI 2.0 is back. The thing which wracked the NHS with debt rebranded as PPP model to deliver 250 new "Neighbourhood Health Centres"

VIDEO GAMES SPECIFIC - UK BUDGET Some stuff that stuck out in UK budget for me. VGEX (game tax credits) and RnD look to be tightening need to talk to my accountant.

Well that is a new fucking horror scape from hellsite which is now creeping on here, auto response llme b*ts engagement farming responses. The one saving grace is having some fucking personality is now a fucking requirement so your account doesn't immediatly get flagged as spam.

#gamedev update on our #godot project. Getting closer.

Do you like violence and villains while making fun of all the tropes and being silly bunnies. With long running relationships and great jokes. I present S&D Tier. My fav story on TT made a huge YouTube playlist youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Amazing post from Katie on the TTM mess. It was an instant no from me the moment I read that first cold mail and I was shocked at how many people had ➡️ ... In their profiles but I kept mum. Sure enough ballpit time. I just hope people didn't lose to much money 😕

If you remember Creature Comforts❤️ this will hit the spot youtu.be/pk4hlwBMMd4

#gamedev #cpp debugging fun time with backtracking algo and optimisation Or how to lose 3 weeks to a copy paste bug while debugging another bug :facepalm:

For the past year Godot has been funded by Khronos to add support for the latest OpenXR APIs to the engine. With the Godot Integration Project now rounded off, read all about these changes:

Check out Godot's new update on their OpenXR integration project announcing major OpenXR features that are now production ready! www.khronos.org/blog/godot-o... #openxr #godot #game #engine #spatial #anchors #android

I'm splitting my time atm to assign 20% to PlayStation engine work. The sigh of relief moving from low level Android/PC code to console.... its just so fucking nice. Why can't all development just be on dedicated hardware with nicely designed api/libs. 😭

Glad that @mmalex.bsky.social chatted more about functional game state model of Dreams. Been spending years thinking about it and the direction Tim is taking UE and I think it is the right way to build Metaverse / Digital world large scaling stuff. youtu.be/mFBmoCv5EcQ?...

Urgh another Meta shuffle going to shake up a wobbly but growing #xr market. TLDR: I agree with Boz long term but Meta refuses to be honest about timelines. Adoption is slow and most the audience is gaming and very young. Also building gaming first gives you all the things you need for not gaming

I watched the NEO 1X Home Robot and have some thoughts especially with the intersection of telerobotics and XR. TLDR: Excited but more worried about wealth inequality and economics claire-blackshaw.com/blog/2025/10...

#gamdev update as we have fixed the trademark issue mostly and are making progress but a code issue is blocking us. #godot #xr

Had our Halloween party last night and we hung up a cheap painters drop canvas and put out some acrylics. Creative play is such a joy.

Being able to say to my emo wife I run a games studio with, "Hey got us tickets to an indie game launch party for an emo music narrative game made by two queer creatives" is peak. Also check out store.steampowered.com/app/3396670/...

#Gamedev friend asked me for some advice for a student about engine coding. Wrote out the advice. Realised its basically a blog post so cleaned it up and wrote this. #godot #engine #advice claire-blackshaw.com/blog/2025/10...

I love artists and creatives regardless of execution, all about passion <3 Talent is just time given to those who feel safe to play

Did a rapid fire intro version of my intro to Wavelets via Haar Transform talk from this weeks @gaemz.bsky.social #gamedev #math youtube.com/shorts/rp4Gc...

#gamedev #godot long time over due update. Been doing 7 day week and skipping office. Godot showreel

I run a weekly Cyberpunk game and its getting really hard to think of a fictional dystopian story that is not outdone by reality. It wasn't an instructional manual you idiots!

I really wish more sites (YT/Bsky ect...) had filter by region. Like I would prefer verified by region but a loose declare would help so much. For technical topics I often want a global view but for SO many things I want location specific vibes or discovery. By Country or TZ either would be huge

No such thing as perfect politics I have fundamental disagreements on nuclear, energy and science but overall under @zackpolanski.bsky.social Green Party is looking more aligned to my economic and social interests than Labour now 1. Wealth inequality 2. Being decent humans 3. Domestic/Foreign

Reading OIT pdf from COD team got me thinking about wavelets and fun ops you can use them for Hate how some math stuff is hidden behind artificial complexity Wavelets are not a complicated topic but most the literature is indecipherable at first pass. #math #gamedev

Paused launch crunch for a few days to work on EA trailer so I could submit to #godot showreel last night. Feeling really good about the edit not ready to punish yet but submitted to the showreel. Taking the day.
