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."

Hotfixes so nice, we added 'em twice; #GodotEngine 4.5.1-rc2 arrives‼️

Our top priority is ensuring the hotfix release is as stable as possible, so be sure to test and report any issues that aren't present in 4.5-stable.

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!

I always wanted to make a multiplayer game for a jam and finally did in the last Ludum Dare 58 compo.

Progress on the detective game experiment made with @godotengine.org
Using custom post-process, a secondary camera for the magnifying glass which can reveal hidden clues and to be able to study objects seamlessly... It's been fairly smooth so far, I'm enjoying the Godot experience 😊

I took a step aside from Swordtember after this month, and wanted to try out more VFX stuff on Godot!

I followed a super tutorial by @Le_x_Lu (X) (link below) to get more confident with the Godot Visual Shader graph! 🌪️⚡
Now I only want to make more stuff!!

I've shown this effect before, but there's something else that's cool about it. There's nothing stopping me from placing these fake windows in front of walls. This is how the doors to other maps work. I didn't model any openings.
