I like some stuff in Star Wars but there are better rebellion/revolution stories imo like One Piece. Does anyone know of a series that's like One Piece but in a fantastical space setting? I need to research for a game setting I'm working on. Bonus points if it's got space magic or space cowboys!

KO_OP is a super inspiring game dev cooperative. Check out their upcoming game Young Suns if you'd be interested in a cozy sci-fi life sim!

Adding new effects for game devs and pixel artists. Part 2 of my ongoing series. Today: Afterimages nojoule.itch.io/pixel-art-sh... and check out the game from @eliasdoesathing.bsky.social #godotengine #godot #pixelart #shader #gamedev

#ProcJam 2025 has just kicked off! A celebration of Procedural Generation for games or art or music or ... well, whatever you want to make something make. Are you building anything this year? The theme is "Cold Places." itch.io/jam/procjam

Most of our earliest memories are learning about how sharing raises your social standing and is good for society but then we spend the rest of our lives being taught that being selfish is necessary to get ahead. Capitalism requires breaking the golden rule so no wonder it's a race to the bottom.

Finally all(?) GodotFest talks are on Youtube, now with fresh video thumbnails to tell them apart 🍿 www.youtube.com/@GodotFest

Any game devs who are interested in joining a union in the US should check out @videogameworkers.bsky.social they can help you organize your workplace, you aren't alone.

My interactive tween guide for Godot is out ! If you have trouble using tweens, adding "Juice" or picking the right transition, it should hopefully help! The guide is free and will always be 🩵 qaqelol.itch.io/tweens #Godot #GameDev #Animation #Tutorial #Guide #Tweens

I can't wait for the steam frame so more VR game devs can leave Meta behind.

Solidarity forever! ✊ The people who make the games we love possible, deserve better than this. Game devs, please consider joining a game dev union like @videogameworkers.bsky.social or starting a worker cooperative with other devs to make a more stable and fair workplace.

Why should we let insatiable greed guide our society to destruction? The sooner people realize that serfdom for the masses and destruction of the planet is the end result of capitalism rather than liberation, the sooner we can move in a healthier direction towards sustainability focused socialism.

I found a really cool map generator for Godot that uses level graphs that enable better designed dungeons! github.com/mpewsey/Mani...

So excited for IK to be in a better state! This will be huge for better VR player bodies and active ragdolls!

With the release of Samsung Galaxy XR, the first headset using the new Android XR operating system, we are pleased to announce that Godot supports this new ecosystem. Read more about it in our announcement: godotengine.org/article/anno...

This is a must read regardless of whether you use Godot or VR. Zi is too humble, this is a masterclass in making a trailer for your game.

People who were upset that the Steam Frame didn't have micro OLED panels, 140 FOV, color pass through, full mixed reality, hand tracking, and be cheaper than the Apple Vision Pro or Samsung Galaxy must be living in alternate reality. I do wish it had finger tracking and gesture controls tho.

With VR desktops becoming more popular with stuff like the steam frame does anyone think we'll start seeing VR accessibility for common game development apps? I know Godot has been making good progress on that front but it'd be great to also see Blender be more intuitive to use in VR.

Awesome to see the OpenXR API being supported in Godot and Khronos helping to make that possible!

🐧 New Trailer w/ @vrgamesshowcase.bsky.social ! 🎉 Thrilled to be showing off gameplay and more of the penguin town! Cannot wait for y'all to be part of the festivities. ➜ PC VR | Fall 2026 ➜ PICO + SideQuest | Post-launch ✨ Wishlist: bit.ly/penguinfests... #vr #indiegames #cozygames #godotengine

I already have devices to make games on, but seeing Godot as an official part of Steam's new hardware video made me happy and pretty excited for both Godot and the Steam Machine itself.

Anyone got a spare like £2,000 they wanna send over just in case? 😆 (re: valve hardware)

NEW: Valve is bringing Android apps to Steam. Not only can the Frame run side-loaded Android APKs, Valve will be inviting Android devs into its store. Imagine what this means re: Google forced to crack open Android. Also: Meta Quest games are low-hanging fruit! www.theverge.com/news/818672/...

It pains me that there is an entire generation of people who have now grown up trained to view manipulative, engagement-farming gambling games as the norm for video games. There are countless people who have formative, nostalgic memories of opening loot boxes and the excitement of gacha ten-pulls

store.steampowered.com/sale/steamfr... The new steam VR headset looks sick! Too bad I have no money at the moment.

a sustainable industry.

Many freelancers in the United States rely on ACA marketplace plans for their health insurance. In an industry that has already been working overtime to turn gamedevs into gig workers, freelance and contract devs are about to get even more squeezed. This is unacceptable.

10/10 take. No notes.

I'm really shocked Vox put out a really good article explaining what a democratic socialism could look like in America. www.vox.com/politics/467...

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

I think of all the founding fathers Thomas Paine was the most based. He argued that since the earth was shared by all humankind before private property, that holders of private property owe a debt to society that should be repaid in taxes and those taxes should go towards UBI and social programs.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

i love halo so much and i also have to be honest that a remake of combat evolved is on its face one of the most blatantly uninteresting ideas you could possibly put in front of me

People who think we're on the verge of all tech workers losing their jobs to AI are putting too much stock into rich people who need the AI bubble to keep on going. The sooner people stop buying into this crap the sooner it'll burst.

Ready to take your #GodotEngine game on consoles? What determines how you should do that?🤔 Watch @stayathomedev.bsky.social video on the options you have to take your game to the next level. Check it out 👇

Did you know you can tell what software a 3D artist uses by how their nails look?

This podcast is a great overview of where AI is at if anyone is interested. youtu.be/y-Nz6lqtt6M?...

In the past, I'd always visualized streams by simulating particles and connecting them. I realized I can instead place points at consistent times along projected trajectories from a history buffer of launch params. Probably not a novel idea, but it's neat! #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

This video is really important and goes over a lot of what would need to be done to undo the corruption in the US. It goes back to the Powell Memorandum and how it led to Citizens United. We can undo it by revoking the power of corporations to make polical donations. youtu.be/YRyS1goUc5s?...

Sign our petition urging the US FTC to watch this deal closely. If left unchecked, this deal spells disaster for EA's workers and players alike, but there's still time to do something about it! actionnetwork.org/petitions/ma...

I fell in love at 36 and told him "we should make a game together to see if we can make it in the long run" (cause if you survive #gamedev you can survive almost anything). One year later our first baby ROTATO is born. Wishlist on Steam! link below #indiedev

It was pretty interesting seeing someone from big tech engage with the idea of socializing big tech due to the dangers of oligarchs using it to control democracy and society at large. It was funny seeing him not engage and just say "Wait so you guys don't like tech?" youtu.be/5dMIuCdLL7Y?...

Having ADHD and a conscience is not a very productive combination in the current political climate. It's tough to stay focused on getting work done because I get distracted by the things that make me feel like I need to do more to help make things better so I'm exhausted constantly.

The real challenge for tech bros is striking the fine balance between completely destroying humanity and retaining enough of it that their billions are still worth something.

I love it when developers talk about important issues and their studios back them up! Wraith Games is a great cooperative game studio and I hope my future cooperative game studio can one day amplify the messages of the people that I work with!

Honestly, it needs to go further than this. We need to confront the fact that democracy and wealth hoarding cannot coexist. Allowing people to amass the resources of a small state/country allows them to act as such, which is inimical to a shared society of “one person, one vote.”

I think I've found my solution for the leaves. It's still a multimesh of billboard quads, but I use a base mesh to construct it. For each vertex of the base mesh I instantiate a billboard and copy the normals. I then use the base mesh for shadow casting with front culled. #GodotEngine #shader
