Urgent freelance art commission! My previous arrangement has fallen through, so I need someone who can look at this sad lil' placeholder kaiju and whip up a proper, looming, nicely lit and atmospherically appropriate monster I can place into this same composition. Feel free to reply here- THREAD 🧵

#gamedev pro tip for anyone else using #godot with a #steam controller: setting up the steam addon makes the controller work inside the editor (since it requires steam's input system to send controller inputs)! store.godotengine.org/asset/godots...

hey @gamebrief.bsky.social, stop wasting real #gamedev 's time with your inane #slop replies

Working on navigation by adding "clearance" to tiles, where each tile knows how much space is around it. The player's crew can be different-sized folks, so actors check their size against this, to know if they can path somewhere or if the player needs to raise some ceilings first! #Godot #GameDev

Having a little issue on here where most of my following timeline is politics instead of creations. Who to follow? Give me recommendations so I can do a little clean-up!

hello I’m doing some marketing now. Let’s see, how do this work? please wishlist my game where this is the only thing you can do (see attached video) store.steampowered.com/app/4209800/...

Folks struggling to make it as indies should probably read this: klangmag.co/lifers-dayjo... Also he only mentions rich kids and day jobbers, but there's also "has a spouse with a good job", "their parent died and left them just enough to get ahead" and "managed to pay off house so don't have rent"

I even used the word "wedge", hah lia-sae.net/articles/202...

"Scott, you can't personally attack every single person following your Bluesky account!" Well, surprise, motherfucker, with this guy's help I can:

Now working as intended #godot #gamedev

if you accuse me of using gen AI for art or music, from this day forth, this is how I will respond.

And here it is on the Godot Asset Store, meaning you can now download it from inside the engine! (in version 4.7+ at least) Pretty happy with how the thumbnail turned out for how little time I spent on it lol store.godotengine.org/asset/dragon... #godot #godotaddon #gamedev

15/20! Goddamn Gemini

To put it another way: "This game is so hard to describe" is the kind of thing you hope to be uttered by awestruck fans and journalists; it's not something you say about your own projects in a context where you're asking a colleague for a favour and they just need information on what you've made.

that's the stuff

I liked Wax Heads and managed to put some thoughts together on it

I'm happy to announce to game developers worldwide that almost every single one of us can now officially claim that at least one of our games did better numbers than the "Great American State Fair", and also that we did better at not shipping greybox assets for our setpieces.

one cool feature in my klondike: i made it stupid easy to add new designs for the cards (front/back), and the cursor. (+ the BG colors are adjustable) i plan to add custom import, & i've also been receiving some wonderful guest artist decks! here's an amazing 'dock of cods' from @toadley.bsky.social

Workshopping a new theory of modern life called The $600 where every couple of months some faceless god determines that you get hit with a bill for $600 for something (your car, your pet, taxes, healthcare). Nothing in my adult life has been more true than this.

Dear sound effect and music asset creators; Please stop using generative AI for your thumbnails. You're putting a giant label on your work that gives the impression it's low effort slop, even when the actual content might be excellent stuff!

it deserves more listens youtu.be/NSwgy1JmxjE

the youtube thumbnail suggestions are pretty good! I'm surprised
