My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Ok, Nearly the end of the year, and 6 months since Highrook was released! I wrote a little postmortem, covering some nerdy production info and my thoughts on what it was like to be an indie in the last few years. www.nullpointer.co.uk/game-post-mo...

I checked what engines were used for the highest rated games in the latest #BrackeysGameJam... 🥁🥁🥁 Top 5: 100% Godot Top 20: 16 Godot, 4 Unity (80% Godot) 🤯 The engine doesn't make a good game, so all the merit goes to the jammers, but it's still nice to see this sign of Godot adoption!

Omg, just seen that French artist Jean Jullien has a big show on at Nanzuka in Shanghai, JUJU’s Castle, that looks INCREDIBLE. basically you get to wander around a fantasy world built from his “memories & experiences”. Someone please send us out there to cover it! More info & link in the replies

Week long Godot game jam over - has been a blast, didn't expect to fall in love with Godot much as I have. SO fun to work with, lean, incredibly well thought out, flexible and soo speedy. I don't know why but I expected more jank and weirdness but it's so clean and modern ✨

Hidden Folks is this week's ✨ Free Game ✨ on the Epic Games Store! It's a beautiful & silly game I'm very proud of! You search for hidden folks in hand-drawn, interactive, miniature landscapes. store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/hidd... For Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS (!!) (in the EU).

Godot folks! Quick q about GDScript - if I'm managing a frequently changing array of data objects (each with 4 properties of diff types where I'd usually use a struct), is using a subclass of Object efficient or better to stick with dictionary?

Day 3 doing a week-long game jam to learn Godot. I'm really into it now! Super fast to work with and didn't take long to adapt to GDScript (I'm using Rider). Have music/track sync, agents, controller input, vibration, audio, custom level building and all major mechanics in. Web export worked 100%

Taking a week away from the big monstrous unreal game to make a scrappy Rez-inspired Godot game prototype. Day 1 was good. I’m digging Godot

Long-shot: I will pay $500 for a recording or transcript, with slides visible, of the 2017 CEDEC “Field Level Design” Breath of the Wild talk by Hidemaro Fujibayashi and Makoto Yunezu, if you’re ok with me sharing it.

Just finished this and HIGHLY recommend it! What a wonderful game - such clever original puzzles in a super charming package
