Anyone need any help with anything Godot-related? Doesn't have to be game stuff - in addition to games, I have a lot of experience with business apps written in Godot. Just applying to jobs at the moment, but taking a break.

I should be studying for an interview I have coming up, but just had a few realizations about state machines in game dev and now I'm flying through a platformer implementation using my own "state charts" library that is much cleaner than others currently out there.

I just realized what Hegseth was really saying: he wants to be attracted to men in the military again, and maybe they can make a Hot Generals calendar to raise some money for the government.

Not to mention a massive loss of money very regularly for no substantial benefit, even if it in some way makes a person "happy".

Watched an episode of Doctor Odyssey where it's got "wellness influencers" and they actually showed real problems with the stuff these charlatans are pedaling. It was almost too real when I saw an acupuncturist rupture a lung by going in through the shoulder too far. What's the harm? So much.

Control focus decoupling for keyboards and the new drag-and-drop functionality in the editor, to name two.

Ha. This is immediately after 4.5 full release and already has changes I desperately want. Guess I'm going back to dev builds for now!

Our first development snapshot for #GodotEngine 4.6 has arrived!

As the feature freeze thaws away, so begins a small trickle of QOL and enhancements; a mere sample of the incoming torrent of changes 4.6 is sure to see

…200 PRs is small, right?

The surest way to infuriate a driver in the DMV is to simply follow the traffic laws. Nothing will send them into a towering rage faster than not turning right on red when there's a sign that says, "No turn on red."

I didn't like the original, tbh. It felt flashier more than substantive.

BackAt50Ft-KyleTheCoder @backat50ft.bsky.social · 15d

Completely agreed! @somepx.com is an incredible producer, very lucky to work with him and to see how it's done.

Nathan Ranney @ratcasket.itch.io · 15d

Every producer I've ever worked with is an absolute hero. I was a producer for a while, and it is like juggling chainsaws blindfolded upside down and you don't have arms.

Erik Robson @erikrobson.net · 16d

The job of being a game Producer, a GOOD Producer, looks very difficult to me.

You have to make room for several contradictory things all to be true at the same time:

I like adding "soaking wet" to phrases to make them nonsensical. "I'm 6'4 soaking wet." "I have 20 years of experience soaking wet." "I have two cats soaking wet."

My favorite part of the show Crash Landing on You is the fact that the two main actors, Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, actually got married after the show ended. I love that, and the show is awesome, too.

Questions for the game devs on Steam:
What kind of feedback do you get from the system in regards to operating system?
Do you get a ping for whether the customer is on Linux, Mac or Windows?
Does it count it differently or as one between Linux and Steamdeck?

Working hard on Wild Cosmos, and getting closer to the end.

I want this small world to feel alive and vibrant.

I'm a single person behind this project and if that's the kind of games you like, sharing it and wishlisting helps me greatly.

or not for any reason (say the demo has limits), then I can just write if OS.has_feature("demo") to check if in the demo export or not. If you want to put that into a singleton as a computed property, that works just fine too and is rather more elegant than asking OS.has_feature everywhere, imo.

BackAt50Ft-KyleTheCoder @backat50ft.bsky.social · 23d

Finally, in the main App ID value, I put my full game Steam App ID, and in the demo App ID value, I put the value for the demo that I got from Steam. Now, when I export for the demo or for Steam, I don't have to remember to switch anything, and also in code, if I need to know if I'm in the demo...
