I cannot overstate just how awful this stupid fucking bill proposal is - adding backdoors into encryption on OS level - "sniff" every single message before it gets encrypted AND SAVE IT CENTRALLY - let a goddamn hallucinating "AI" mark people as criminals it needs to be stopped, post haste

I'll be a the Godot Fest this year to present our game :D Looking forward to seeing being among the Godot Community again in Munich!

I finally finished my deep-dive article on DOGWALK, like I promised :D All about making a playable character in Godot with a choppy animation style! Plenty of visual examples & code snippets! Took quite a while to put together. studio.blender.org/blog/playabl... #b3d #godotengine #gamedev

We passed 1000 reviews recently! Still Overwhelmingly Positive :3 Thank you all so much!!! This went way above my expectations. studio.blender.org/blog/thank-y... #b3d #godotengine #gamedev

Yesterday we reached 500 reviews, resulting in getting the "Overwhelmingly Positive" label! 😍 TODAY it's even more! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

A new game to showcase! @julienkaspart.bsky.social and @simonthommes.bsky.social tell us about their experience working on DOGWALK 🐶, @studio.blender.org ’s open-project made with Godot and Blender. godotengine.org/article/godo...

It's almost time! The game and our live stream will go up in one hour! See you there :D www.youtube.com/live/7eRlX4b... #b3d #godotengine # gamedev

Join the Blender Studio team online this Friday at 17.00 CEST, as we celebrate the official release of DOGWALK! 🐶 🎉 #BlenderStudio #OpenProject #DOGWALK #game #release youtube.com/live/7eRlX4b...

New Blender Studio Log is up! I still love Haru's editing on these :D News on Singularity and all other projects going on right now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnND... #b3d

DOGWALK will be officially released on July 11th, 17.30 CEST 🎉 join us then for our online release party! Lots of frolicking in the snow and talking with artists, to be sure ☃️ #b3d #BlenderStudio #game #gamedev #OpenProject #DOGWALK studio.blender.org/blog/dogwalk...

I put together a little trailer for our Steam store page. The project is basically done at this point and I'm super stoked to finally release it soon! store.steampowered.com/app/3775050/... #b3d #godotengine #gamedev

Another Studio Log is up! We're working on a lot at the same time right now :D www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbdV... #b3d #godotengine

When it comes to the AnimationTree on DOGWALK, we barely used any blending. It suited the stop-motion style to instantly switch animation states and use one-shot animation nodes. This is an early version in the video (we had dozens of animations in the end), #b3d #godotengine #gamedev

I'm really working to make Wild Cosmos a polished experience and hope players will notice. If you like what I make, simply sharing it around helps greatly. I don't have a dedicated budget for the game, I'm making it in my free time, this game could be my stepping stone for future projects.

Our open source game project has a Steam page! Wishlist it now to get notified once it releases: store.steampowered.com/app/3775050/... Learn more and get the production assets on Blender Studio website: studio.blender.org/blog/steam-p... #b3d #godotengine #gamedev #BlenderStudio #dogwalk

Implementing stop-motion style animation for DOGWALK was fascinating. We animated the characters on 2s (meaning 12 fps). To make the movement sync up I made sure the animation blending & character rotation is matching that, instead of just using linear interpolation! #b3d #godotengine #gamedev

Big shout-out to @nozomugames.com for the line collision code sample and @majormcdoom.bsky.social for the 3D Line plugin! Really helped a lot in getting DOGWALK development started fast. Maybe one day we can make the leash look a bit better :D #b3d #godotengine #gamedev

For prototyping it was fun to use 3D Sprites as fast and easy placeholders of characters and their states. A valid style on its own. Maybe one day :D But it was better than just colored cubes for communicating ideas. studio.blender.org/projects/pro... #b3d #godotengine #gamedev

Another Blender Studio Log is up!! This time not much about the game anymore, but a look into the next projects. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yzt... #b3d

I'm working on a new free character with the Blender Studio :D #b3d

This is the earliest mockup of DOGWALK from November last year! Just my crude animation to pitch the idea to the team. It's crazy how much imagination and faith is still involved to see the final game in this haha #b3d #godotengine #gamedev

While the Steam page is still in progress, download & try the game on our website! studio.blender.org/blog/dogwalk... If you want to support our projects, consider signing up. Us crash-test dummies do our best to stress-test Blender so it is production ready & bug-free. #b3d #godotengine #gamedev

Working on a lot of bug fixes for Project DogWalk at this point. Currently waiting for access to the Steam page :3 Also wondering what I could be posting about. Now there's finally time to do more writing and making-of material! #b3d #godotengine #gamedev

The production for Project Dogwalk is basically done. Only bugfixing and polishing now to prepare for the release. It was such a great project :3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUFN... #b3d #godotengine #gamedev

Like any animation project, a game needs good rigging - or at least, rigs that work! 🦴 Animation director (and interim rigger) Hjalti goes over his process... lessons learned! #b3d #OpenProject #BlenderStudio #riggin #DogWalk #animation #game studio.blender.org/blog/charact...

Another studio log! Weŕe reaching the end of the game project. Iḿ excited to share the game soon :D www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jQu... #b3d #godotengine #gamedev

I'm on my easter vacation and I see my face in this thumbnail pop up :D Well it's time for another video log! www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wPj... #b3d #gamedev #godotengine

Another log. Not that much time left until the game is done. youtu.be/gDu7B_5ULcM?... #b3d #godotengine #gamedev

They come out faster than I can share :D www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQCl... #b3d #godotengine #gamedev

Another beautiful studio log video :3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjvG... #b3d #godotengine #gamedev

Do you want to understand how to manage colors better with your matte paintings? Julien explains how we handle things at the Studio. #b3d #BlenderStudio #OpenMovie #color #mattepainting

Andy gives us a quick look at the level assembly workflow for Project DogWalk - layers, paths and asset scattering. ⛄ #BlenderStudio #OpenProject #game #gamelevels #setdressing

I would also like to highlight the Production Logs for the new Blender game project! Lot's of updates, insight & even playable builds. studio.blender.org/projects/pro... It's only for supporters but might be good to know since not everything ends up on the socials here. #b3d #godotengine #gamedev

Another studio log is out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ctK... #b3d #godotengine #gamedev

I'm so buried in work for the Blender game project, so I've been posting less. But there are plenty of new video logs up with updates and more of a look at the progress :D www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy0C... #b3d #godotengine #gamedev

We put together devlog post to talk about the papercraft art-style of our game project "DogWalk". It's cool to mention all the inspirations and our limited scope. studio.blender.org/blog/devlog-... #b3d #godotengine #gamedev

The next studio log is out! It's great to see more of the game project come together. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5Jj... #b3d #godotengine #gamedev

Julien talks about matte painting and how we used them over the different projects at the Studio. Dive into more details here: #b3d #BlenderStudio #mattepainting #WingIt #Charge #ProjectGold

And another studio log is up! With more insight into our project from last week. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zU9B... #b3d #godotengine #gamedev

I wanted to try something weird for stepped animations: Either limit the rotations and blended animations to specific values or update them on 3s. I think the former is quite promising. I wanna support that stop-motion style with all the transitions in-engine too. #godotengine #gamedev

Another update video for Project DogWalk! More insight for what's going on behind the scenes :D youtu.be/WN6_cx38Tng?... So glad that Haru is making these (so far) weekly videos :3 #b3d #godot #gamedev

Another video on our current projects, including the game project :D www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivGx... A bit more insight into the artstyle on this one. We've also started to upload artwork and early prototypes to our website to keep everyone up to date :3 #b3d #godotengine #gamedev

I'm really excited to be directing my first project at the Blender Studio 🤩 This time it's a little game with the @godotengine.org I'll share more info and updates soon! And of course there will be way more from the entire team on studio.blender.org. #b3d #godot #gamedev

I think one of my favourite features of Bluesky is leaving the app open, coming back to it hours later and it's still at the same spot on the timeline. And no big blue button that tells me to refresh the moment someone I follow liked a post.

Finally joined to check out this site. Looks very lively and lot's of cool features! ❤️ I'm not planning on posting much for now. Just wanted to join the mass migration hehe
