Rémi Verschelde @akien.bsky.social · Oct 19

Heya! I'm Rémi (he/him), French developer living in Copenhagen.

I'm the project manager and lead maintainer for @godotengine.org.

I'm also co-founder of @w4games.bsky.social, which provides Godot-focused products and services.

I'm passionate about open source, indie gamedev, Linux, and languages.

Photo of Rémi Verschelde, ca. this decade. Man in his thirties, medium-length brown hair, thick eyebrows, short beard, wearing rectangular glasses.

A meme with two cats, an adult cat labeled "Project Manager" and a kitten labeled "Junior Tester". They stand on a tiled floor. The junior tester has a speech bubble saying "Bug, bug, there is a bug!" while the project manager restrains it with its paws, covering its mouth, and says "Not this time Junior! Today is the release day."

Building more of the world, I'm finding the room maps give away a little too much. Trying a compass instead - it switches to a stage map on the pause screen, showing visited rooms as squares and the connections between them.

But well don't quote me on this, things may have changed with all the US tariffs and whatnot upending the global shipping system. Makeship is in Canada IIRC but I'm not sure where they ship from.

I don't recall having customs fees for the various Makeship plushies I bought.

You may need to declare the goods to pay VAT if not handled by the seller (otherwise customs may do it with admin fees).

But again I don't recall any shenanigans with Makeship (for Denmark at least).

For the previous batch the shipping cost to the EU was something like 9 EUR, which seems reasonable.

Working on things I can't show you.
So here are a few bloopers from when I refactored my character controller and they started throwing a tantrum.

It took some effort, but I made a normal map font so I can dynamically "etch" names of supporters and contributors into gravestones for the credits level in KOOK.

A shroud of darkness hangs heavy over the place where innocents were laid to rest.

Update to the "Godot 💙" feed:

The feed now ignores the word "godot" on its own. To ensure your #gamedev post shows up, please use #godot as a hashtag or add another clue word such as "godot engine", "godot game" etc.

Enjoy using Bsky's biggest #godot feed! 💙

Regex of the Godot 💙 feed has been updated to exclude the word "godot" on its own, now it requires "#godot" with a hashtag

Improved pathfinding for Reconfigure. A custom AStar system that uses the map state already present in the game. No more double bookkeeping just to keep pathfinding functional!
