I feel like Jeff Bezos might benefit from playing my upcoming game and seeing how it turned out for Cola Corp when they replaced their workers with bots 😬

Steam store page is coming soon 🎉

The short description of an upcoming game with a plot themed around the same [bad] idea that Amazon have.

26 years later and still finding secrets I haven't found before - I just found Doom guy in Duke Nukem 3D. #gaming #dukenukem

The first trailer for my first [bigger sized] game is almost ready. Going to begin setting up the Steam store page later this week once I'm happy with the final edit. For some reason, this feels way more scary than the hours I dropped in my day job to work on it 🙃 #gamedev

Definitely did! I miss my printer, not got room for one now though 😭 (my electricity bill is grateful for that though 😅)

What is the size of this? Even if it was a bigger print, it looks phenomenal. I used to do a lot of printing but when scrolling mistook this for a 3D render 😂

The drag and drop export variables function that's coming in Godot 4.6 is the feature I need that I didn't realise I need 😅 Really great idea #gamedev #godot godotengine.org/article/dev-...

I put together a Windows XP theme for the user session I use in work for a bit of nostalgia. With this final addition, it is complete. Nobody tell Lars please 🙈 #winamp

Fellow Godot devs: if you're interested in adding dynamic resolution scaling to your game, feel free to claim this script as your own ☺️ This is the script I wrote for the macOS optimisations mentioned in the previous post.

Adding Dynamic Resolution in Godot

Resolution scaling is quite common in most games nowadays. It offers the ability for users to reduce the rendering resolution of the game without having to endure annoying resolution changes when alt-...

It didn't look out of place to me (and still doesn't even after you pointed it out). Looks really good :)

I am putting together a blog post regarding some performance improvements that I've made and came across this great ready made Godot addon by @hugo.pro - has about every metric you could want for displaying performance numbers github.com/godot-extend... #Godot #GameDev

I love old consoles getting a new life 🤩 Looks really good.

I have a Game Boy Color with the old DMG colour scheme of the OG Game Boy (doesn't look quite as fancy as your GBA but I'm very nostalgic and love this scheme).

Also has an IPS screen that looks so vivid (this photo doesn't do it justice)

And now the stick is finished 😃 beat some peoples' asses on Guilty Gear to make sure the wiring is all OK 🤗 #fightinggames #arcadestick

RobTheFiveNine @robthefivenine.bsky.social · Aug 9

Love how well the new artwork I put together for my stick came out 😭 put my Street Fighter and Guilty Gear Strive mains on either side of it, even though I'm mainly just playing Guilty Gear now #gaming

I didn't realise @acekingoffsuit.bsky.social had stopped making these. Thank you for picking up the crown and carrying on the work 😭 the different timezones at the bottom always make it so easy to plan things.

So many MVPs on commentary again. Didn't know Jaidlyn did FGC commentary either, they're always great at GDQ. Good to see Logan back representing the UK fam 👊 can't wait for the stream to start 😭😭😭

So damn hype for Evo this year. I timed it just right so I'll be clocking off work before the stream starts. Let's goooooo #Evo2025 www.youtube.com/watch?v=coz2...

So it seems like that's the trick - just make sure anything that will be enabled later is enabled in the editor, and auto-disable it on startup instead. Thank you for the replies and trying to help out, much appreciated friends 🙏

RobTheFiveNine @robthefivenine.bsky.social · Jul 20

Couldn't create a VM in the end (vbox seems broken on latest Ubuntu), but I did try running with some materials with transparency enabled at compile time, but disabled after the first frame via a script, and some without that. The ones with it had no runtime compilation, the ones without did :)

RobTheFiveNine @robthefivenine.bsky.social · Jul 20

It pretty much just documents what we assumed to be true in this thread, but in a bit more detail :) I might do the VM test tonight if I get time, as I'm really curious to know if it compiles the shader with transparency support even if it is immediately disabled in the _ready callback
