One takeaway from the DICE convention here in Las Vegas, where game makers gather to pitch and schmooze?

Most video games should not cost $70.

Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy
One way to get out of the video-game industry funk is to recognize that players aren’t spending $70 on most games

Our first development snapshot for #GodotEngine 4.7 has arrived!

Virtual joysticks, drawable textures, Windows HDR support, Vulkan raytracing groundwork, and more are ripe for testing:

Engine: doesn't charge anything
Grateful users: pay them anyway

❤️
We would love to welcome @mikeklubnika.bsky.social, developer of Buckshot Roulette and s.p.l.i.t, as a new development fund member, joining as a Corporate Platinum sponsor 💙

This is a major contribution and it helps us to continue developing the Godot Engine for everyone. Thank you!

Fountains Abbey. While drawing this I discovered a small watercourse which I had thought was a shadow from a tree. It makes more sense of the stonework on the right hand edge of the drawing.

Funny enough, matrix access was the first thing I freaked out about (in a good way) during my first attempt to port to Godot. Here are a few neat things you can do with it that are still possible in other engines but might require roundabout hierarchy shenanigans.

It's been 3 years working on No Rest for the Wicked with Moon Studios. 🌖

With the latest co-op update out and all the great feedback coming from players, it felt like a good moment to share a small reel of the project.

Let’s go. Another year, another Wicked Animations ! 😁

Realtime screen-tracing + probes in a non-boxy room demo (the probes here work without having to carefully calibrate their position - due to environment *not* being used for lighting at all).
