Here's how to write a simple importer which allows you to use data in CSV format! rp.wtf/articles/usi... #godotengine #godot

time to remind myself of the good times getting cannon rushed

Infant Annihilator, one of the finer british musical groups have announced a new album, and I’m very much looking forward to it.

watched Noroi with friends last night and, bro, they have yellow paint showing where you gotta go in real life over there.

It's been four years since the mystery started. Have you unravelled the puzzles of The Case of the Golden Idol? What was your favourite case?

Hello indie game developers, you beautiful people making beautiful things! For a while now I've been starting my big videos on obscure games with trailers to hook in the audience right away, to great results. Now I want to make trailers for your games! Details at jeremyoduber.com/hire-me

I wrote a little article about how I use a simple Navidrome smart playlist to systematically listen to my music. rp.wtf/articles/my-... #navidrome

We’re about to be doing a whole lot of staying a while and listening

oopsie, the flickering was an infinite loop in my drawing function, because I copied the code from a prototype I made to learn the library.

Decided to make a super-simple TUI for my tetris bot. Had never made TUIs before. A lot of fun, feels like using CSS for the first time - now I want to add a TUI for everything I make. Now I hope that, unlike Anthropic, I don't need a year to fix flickering.

Up until today, i had never noticed how git prints two different messages for noop push and pull, including two different ways to spell "up to date" and now it's bothering me extremely.

After scratching my webscraping itch, I want to explore the logical next step - game automation. Can I make a (very) bad tetris bot? I think I just need to come out of the bot closet. Out of all personal software projects, making random bots is among my favorites.

Cracks me up seeing posts like “I vibecoded this thing to solve this very specific problem of mine. Github link below.” As if they’re doing the world a favor instead of polluting the public internet with slop noone else has any use for.

I've been keeping a handwritten logbook, because handwriting is supposedly good for your brain. I write in english, but I decided to start doing it in my native language, because it makes more sense and, after spending a whole day with my brain in english, it's so weird.

Since there's no http package in odin, im trying libcurl for the first time, and no wonder everyone loves it, it's neat as fuck.

Finally got some fine Klepacki tunes in the record collection.

🚀 Hazard Pay is now OUT, the labs are OPEN! Spread the word, IPT is looking for applicants! 🚀 store.steampowered.com/app/2692620/... 3 years of work, and "the button" is now clicked 🎉

Omarchy is the Redot of Linux.

Two awesome news in one - a new Sprawl game and a new REVEL album!

SPRAWL zero is out now! The culmination of so much blood sweat and tears, who would have thought a random interaction on the Quake Mapping discord would have lead to this? store.steampowered.com/app/3748520/...

Fifteen years late, but I finally beat Skyrim. Actually, I didn't know that I had beaten it until I looked it up, because the credits didn't trigger on the Steam Deck.

Heartbreaking reading about the stolen laptops at gamescom, but also - why leave an unencrypted laptop with your game builds at the venue. BitLocker, LUKS, etc. exists for a reason. Also, why leave it there in the first place … :/

We're pleased to announce the Deluxe Edition of The Golden Idol Saga! https://superraregames.com/products/deluxe-edition-de-10-the-golden-idol-saga-switch

Some people watch The Room "ironically". I feel like reading Robert Martin's Clean Code ironically, but I don't want to give him money :(

Some more work on the shooty thing. We now have a key system, a notification system, and buttons that can activate a list of things, so I can have double doors! #odin #raylib #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

the term "youtuber horror movie" is finally getting a good connotation. Iron Lung, Backrooms and Obsession. What a trifecta of great horror!

Help Save the Home for Indie Game Developers For 9 years Spelkollektivet has had more than 700 game developers stay at the co-living & co-working hub, but due to new directives in the local area, the future may be at risk. Read more: gofund.me/f4244d6de #gamedev #indiegames #gofundme

My son has grown into a little xenomorph (the drooling part, not the bloodlust)

Odin is fairly different from gdscript, and yet they are similar enough that it screws with my muscle memory when I switch from one to the other.

My new free interactive guide on #Godot Control Nodes and #UI is out!! qaqelol.itch.io/gui My free #Tween guide also gets a new update! qaqelol.itch.io/tweens AND You can now get the All-in-One version, that regroups all my guides + extra features to support me!! qaqelol.itch.io/guides #GameDev

odin + raylib has been borken for weeks on arch linux/cachyOS. I have been abstaining from updating my laptop, since I have the old, working version, because I don't want to compile odin manually or, god forbid, install it from AUR.

I can say without a doubt that id software games are the most impactful pieces of software in my life. happy 30th, Quake! happy 35th, id software!

Get your mops ready, Hazard Pay comes September 10th! #GodotEngine

I've become a fan of @gameengineering.bsky.social' podcast. Today I realized my own boss @andrejsklavins.bsky.social has been a guest too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2Zw...

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. blog.fiveninegames.io/adding-dynam... #godot #gamedev

This is what I've been grumbling about for a while now. Steam updates are broken, and they're a huge security vulnerability: www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/co... #gamedev

brain fog of war

Been having fun with raylib on my free time, working on a top down shooter. So far, I have Tiled map support and basic physics/raycasting. #raylib #indiedev #gamedev

Vimdow 0.4.0 is out youtu.be/AXIyCEVsBuA #godotengine #madewithgodot #neovim

We are thrilled to announce that The Rise of the Golden Idol has arrived, in its complete form, on mobile stores! Available on Apple App Store and Google Play Store now.

The wife went out of town with the kid which means the only time when I'm not coding this week is when I'm eating (and possibly even then some).

The game is out NOW! Go play it, and please consider giving us a steam review if you like it. It's the best way for the game to get visibility.

the “for you” feed made my bluesky experience so much better I don’t even know why it is not the official discover algo

Wondering how I haven't seen @steinmakesgames.bsky.social make a "after godot comes gocomma" type joke yet.

And here it is on the Godot Asset Store, meaning you can now download it from inside the engine! (in version 4.7+ at least) Pretty happy with how the thumbnail turned out for how little time I spent on it lol store.godotengine.org/asset/dragon... #godot #godotaddon #gamedev

Every time i want to reformat text in vim, i gotta think about men's magazines. (the reformat shortcut is "gq", that's the joke)

We just reached 10,000 wishlists for our upcoming Golden Idol-like, City of Voices! Big thanks to everyone who's supported and stuck with us, and helped spread the word. We're sorry it's taking so damned long! I assure you, we are making progress, slowly but surely!

Want to make a custom asset packer for fun. Learned to use inotify - they were not kidding when they said everything in Linux is a file.
