Happy #screenshotsaturday, let's celebrate all of our favorite placeholders from 2025. Do you like Reptile Captain Placeholder1, or Slayer Captain Placeholder1? Maybe you like the radar texture cockatiel?! Or white dot! White dot is pretty cool. #godot

Our Starmap in physical form for the first time! This is just a proof, used for quality assurance before we run them all. The final version for backers won’t have a white border and a person holding it up.

We don’t get to meet up in person too often, but when we do we sure are happy. Now we just have to sign thousands of thank you cards!

Did you check out our latest update? Lots of work in progress on display for Children of Infinity, especially Melee visuals! We only had room to share a few slices of this longer VFX reel. Audio is still in progress and includes placeholder mouth sounds: get 'em while they're ridiculous! #Godot
