Giving a talk at Develop next week on start VR studio around #Godot and the porting to #ps5 & #psvr2 work we are doing. www.developconference.com/speakers/cla... So if your in Brighton next week can't wait to catch up

amen. (part of my 'cherish your good testers' series) (thankyou to @bopbip4.bsky.social for the gif and the repiable repro of a bug)

Perfect example we saw Hail Mary in cinema, its on streaming now and we ordered the physical disc because we want a copy forever and get those extras like behind the scenes ect... The delay for physical is a small pill to swallow and leads to a much better physical product.

Physical media 2nd hand sales same economic effect as piracy. The fix is not to kill physical media. It is vital and I think it would never have happened if HQ hadn't moved to US. US companies are terrible at thinking global, huge weakness. I think China has the same weakness.

Marching in London Pride with my lovely wife today ❤️

Having a calm reread of TransMet my fav comic and I'm glad we avoided this timeline. In some ways the timeline is f'ckd but I'm hopeful that EU tech sector and rise of multipol world powers mean we avoid the march of the monoculture.

Discord launching on quest is a huge deal because it is such an important tool for game communities and the workarounds were so messy. Esp given #vr demographics www.meta.com/en-gb/experi...

Game nutrition labels: like requiring to go includes AI generated game assets is a good idea but bad if limited to just that. Things I would love to see - Engine / Libraries - Asset packs list - Source of funds (grants, tax credits, publisher advance, VC) - Ownership

Reading my old TransMet comics which I fucking love and I love reading old letter pages at the back of comics. Real time capsules and community. Anyway Warren Ellis mad me laugh out loud cause I forgot how blunt he was, this was when it was FRESH

Head ups I'm talking at Develop about porting Godot to PSVR2 and PlayStation as well as a brief post mortem on our tech stack as it currently stands. #gamedev #vr #godot www.developconference.com/speakers/cla...

Friends are the best. People who support your dreams, checkin and are there when your smiling or crying. 💕 Craft can be lonely but we are never alone 💖

Two massive areas of delusion, these are beyond tolerating. A: Expert IC told by manager, that's wrong ask Claude. IC says they did and shows proof of why they are right. Manager argues... literally brain rot offloading to AI

VR Showcase today, around 10 hours from now. #vr #gamedev 🍿 www.youtube.com/watch?v=m93K...

#GodotEngine 4.7 is here! 🎉 Like a cult classic movie, Godot 4 has only gotten better with age; the 4.7 Director's Cut offers colors of never-before-reached intensity, helming a bevy of new features to eliminate any remaining friction between you and your vision! godotengine.org/releases/4.7/

At AWE, Google and XReal officially showed the new XReal Aura glasses running Android XR The recently released Godot OpenXR vendor plugin ensures great support for this device. We recommend using the upcoming Godot 4.7 to get the most out of these glasses godotengine.org/article/godo...

One of the craziest areas of science which has been in overdrive last two decades is material science. For example check out this magnetic elastomer. Put your RnD brain on and think about physical UX and robotics. youtu.be/HO6PkTFj3SQ

Ten years since Jo Cox was assassinated and one thing is clear: her assassin’s politics have, more or less, triumphed, and with the connivance of Cox’s own party no less.

The fact that the modern blue screen is just text on top of whatever was on the screen is kind of horrific and wonderful at the same time. #gamedev

My new little game has finally been revealed to the world! AND YOU CAN PLAYTEST IT NOW (eep!)

Working hard on some deadlines atm I know I've quiet but still here chugging away. I've always said VR is the long game and talked about the 90s PC gaming market a lot. I should write a longer post but here are my short bits on VR atm so fuck it 🧵time

I recently gave a talk on parallel computing in video games at TU Dresden (my alma mater) and OvGU Magdeburg, looking at the historical evolution of parallelism in game consoles, why graphics is easy and gameplay hard to parallelize. Had a great time doing it! youtu.be/xZjKragRQjc

Also reminder #nhs is being destroyed by "Plan B" vote so GPs can charge. Abolishing the CORE tenant of the NHS which is free at the point of care. #savenhs www.bma.org.uk/bma-media-ce...

Andy Burnham got all the press and PR of going to a cross party collation meeting organised by @compassoffice.bsky.social but then didn't turn up, which of course is not covered by media. It's this PR bullshit that makes me done with Labour. Perform for votes, then punish in power

The NHS is looking to vote on plan B ENDING FREE CARE! Moving to a means tested system which breaks the core tenant of the NHS which is no payment at point of care. The moment there is a till in your GP we lose the NHS and quickly over a few years they defund care 💔 #SaveNHS

If your PlayStation Dev I just posted something into free talk about our Godot port work that if you're technical you might be interested in. Turning that thread into kind of my progress post in place where I can talk about it without having to filter for NDA.

An overview of the results of the fifth Godot XR Community Game Jam is up on the #godotengine blog!! godotengine.org/article/godo...

#devlog walking along the river where it is cool enjoying London after a lovely chat with a friend that just fed my love of doing what I do. Gamedev needs friends ❤️ youtube.com/shorts/whiy1...

F**k you 🌞 I am prepared

Out skating and the weather is immaculate a bit hot for my liking but there's a cool breeze and being on wheels and London is just the best feeling

We've been working on replacing the Asset Library with something built for the present and future. Here's what's coming. #godotengine godotengine.org/article/intr...

This is THE POWER!!! Like a PR and its not getting merged. Pull it into your engine! Works in reverse as well, stability! Also upgrading old games 5+ years after release... well you don't have to upgrade to the "new version" to pull in the new SDK or fix the security bug. You can stay stable.

#devlog focusing in on getting nonograms out the door but some exciting stuff will keep me busy and afk for next two days. Also working on some godot render stuff.

Pen and Pad update! 🖊️ MX Ink: Full stylus controls — pressure, buttons, flip‑to‑erase. Put it down and controllers take over. ✏️ Scratchpad: scribble space for notes, chains, and ideas. Saves with your puzzle. Plus the May Pack and fixes Patch Notes: flammablepenguins.com/augmental_pu...

#devlog patch is live for the stylus support and drawing pad. Went to a TIGA event to appear on a panel. Was super good but there was no signal and I wanted to catch plumber before he finishes work.

#devlog been out sick. Back now, the patch failed testing and we are working on a fix but been delayed by illness. Better now and speaking at panel on Wednesday at TIGA event. Also moved to git mono repo. Talk more soon. #godot

Anyone I know who is a younger gamedev in love with XR who is currently doing social video or has experience in the area? Not looking for introductions atm.

Shocked front-facing cameras being used for eye tracking in native system ux on phones is not more of a thing. Both pushing the quality of the front-facing camera and using ml models to improve the tracking like we did in VR spaces. Ux assisted by eye tracking is magical

If I were Android, all my R&D money would go to AI, and my prod resources would go to spatial computing. While I'm not fond of Apple's rebrand of VR, the general term 'spatial computing' is useful, as it includes camera-based, phone, AR, and photogrammetry.

Still recovering from cold. Watching @majormcdoom.bsky.social progress posts funny the Godot Penguin VR thing. Flammable Penguins started as a web comic team in South Africa. Later book company, still going, and now finally my dream games company.

Got some exciting news! My new bite-sized Hokko game is going to get shown for the first time during the next Wholesome Direct 🥳

Been out sick with a cold for the last 4 days. Prob a few more Pixel is serious about my recovery

#devlog patch in testing today. Blog post: #godot PR culture and Juan's talk at #godotcon #vr Post is live here: claire-blackshaw.com/blog/2026/04... Tried to give a nuanced take on the issue. Thought feedback was important esp as the response in Q&A was subpar. Tricky topic hope I did it justice.

I love living in London. I just popped by to see the new banksy statue that got put up this morning after having noodles with a friend in SoHo. Sun is shining it's great day.

#devlog Back from events and getting back into the swing of things. Con flu hit us a bit. Crazy period but had some rest. Honestly still buzzing. #godotcon #godot #vr

Blog Post: Shipping VR in Godot: Troubles, Victories and Reality Based on the extended version of my @godotcon.bsky.social talk because I know a bunch of people prefer text over video. #gamedev #godot #vr claire-blackshaw.com/blog/2026/04...
