So - having some fun with #blender #shader s and I'm just amazed at how quickly you can create cool renders! It’s always great to try and “think a visual into nodes” 😀

Btw I’ll be sharing some of those with my Line+ Patreons soon 😉

Quite true! I might just hide the Linux version for now ^^ I'll take care of that in the upcoming days ;)

Quick question! 😀 Say I were to make a new ebook about game creation: what topic would you prefer?

1. Step-by-step Godot game (3D RPG, 2D platformer…)
2. Godot shaders
3. Blender shaders

Don't worry - it would be super nice of you if you get the time, but I'll try to debug the Linux version as soon as I can, too!
(Full honesty: according to my current stats, the Linux population among my players is quite small, so I haven't prioritized this... 🤭
But thanks again for the bug report!!

Thanks for the info! Arg, I can't say I'm surprised... because I don't actually have a Linux platform available right now to test, so it was kinda of Hail Mary I guess ^^
I'll admit I don't really know why buttons wouldn't work just on this platform... it seems strange.
I'll try to investigate! :D

Oh ^^ Thanks for the bug report, I'll look into that! Though I didn't have that happen to me recently... just to be sure: could you please tell me what version you're playing on, and what platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) you're using? :)

Thanks!!

Heya! Well just to recap ^^
- first you have to actually unlock it in the skill tree
- then you'll get the icon on the right of your screen when you restart a new run
- then if you have enough energy you can click on the button
- and click somewhere on the sky to place the blueprint
Hope it helps :)

🙏 A huge thanks to everyone who’s supported the project so far, my Patreons for allowing me to work on it in the first place, and - probably unbeknownst to them - @at0mium.bsky.social , @docgeraud.bsky.social and my friends, who all showed me it was possible to dream and create, in their own way 😉

Ok, so. After barely escaping being severely scammed via a freelance platform, I’ve decided to rely on direct comm instead.

So - need some tech writing/tutorials/blog articles for your next project? 😅
