#DERELIKT RELEASES NOVEMBER 13! youtu.be/enP-3OkxqYU?...

Maaaaaan this bites. The moment @remedygames.com had the steelbook edition of Resonant up to order I snagged a preorder. Willing to wait through the delays but now best buy just cancelled my order saying the item isn't available. Not sure I can get a copy anymore. Kinda killed my excitement :(

Since everyone using Godot is showing off water effects at the moment, I thought I'd share my water shader too. Colour is determined by depth, allowing you to see rock formations below the surface. I add some noise based foam on the surface and ripples in the shallows. #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Kenney Shape is now FREE! (and it'll remain free, forever) ✨ Previously a paid tool, I'm releasing it as a gift to the community. Today's update will be the final one, with no further updates planned. That way I can focus on new software & projects! kenney.itch.io/kenney-shape

The public alpha version of PSVITAMAN is now available for download!

Huge thanks to everyone who has played the Opening Act demo so far! Because of your support, we are able to make Mission 02 a reality. Here's a little look at Klo's arrival at the Opera House.

I'm really stressed about insurance this month. I write articles as a way to earn enough to cover the bills, but last months article didn't make as much as I needed it to cause I published it mid month. docseuss.medium.com/i-completed-... If you like it, please share and tip, I need about $1200

We're looking for content creators who are interested in covering the OPENING ACT demo in whatever way suits your style and audience. We don't check DMs or emails for key requests, so this is the only way to show your interest > shorturl.at/tNDjS

The film is written, directed, and co-stars Hitoshi Ozawa, a legendary Yakuza actor who is a villain in Yakuza 0, who got his fellow legends involved. This was his passion project inspired by one of his best friends, a trans woman, and he worked with the community for representative casting.

We’re on the hunt for games writers! Our dream? To find our next staff writer… But freelance opportunities come up each and every month, too. Please DM @mostlyalright.com (Nick, our Games Editor) or if you’re old-school like us, you can also send an email: nick@teamdebug.com Location irrelevant

OPENING ACT demo is LIVE! Big update with new lighting, story sections, and the first look at the playable hub area. There's a whole bunch of smaller fixes to make the experience better on controller as well as some extra surprises waiting for you. Find out how to get access below!

We just rolled out a big overhaul to the playtest, so if you have access to that on Steam, you should re-install it. Major changes to lighting, new cutscenes, and the first look at the S3PF Command hub is all available. Proper announcement and trailer coming next month.

And by the way, from our scoop, we also discovered that Anthropic is also using human reviewers to read conversations.

DLSS 5 is just a lighting pass and not an ai hallucin--

For my newest video I took people's assumptions about game development and... addressed them! Including why crunch actually happens, how much money game developers make, and the unique way that making games 'ruins them' for you: youtu.be/WnfKzdTUjtw?...

Cool, new @godotengine.org plugin for me to try out! youtu.be/A6bPUXTlic8

I've released an all-in-one tool that lets you extract textures from any perspective, turn them into seamless textures, and use them on your 3D models. #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevtools #itchio #indiegame

daily reminder ✨

I am not sorry to be sharing this thing so much because getting it done was a massive victory over my disability and I feel very good about that, but also, I really do need glasses and to pay the bills. If you like, please help me out.

Heyyyyy just so you’re all aware that Gumroad is fuckin AI-run trash and you shouldn’t give them your money or time CEO’s a garbage human too, sooooo yeah, abandon that ship immediately

I'm gonna keep banging the drum until I can afford new glasses lenses, sorry. I need to be able to see

Help my furry artist friend afford living costs! His art has been great for characters in D&D/Pathfinder, but he's just a good artist period.

I need to raise about $500 more for my glasses and another $1250 for one of my medical bills

Happy #InternationalDogDay 🐶 from the dogs of Velan! Join us in celebrating how they impact the lives of our team (this feels like déjà vu.) Erik: Apollo never stops making me smile. His abundance of excitement for discovering new things keeps me motivated to explore new ways to create art. 🧵1/16

I am not speaking in hyperbole when I say that I genuinely believe that the world would be a better place if people had enough of a spine to treat bad actors in every community this way. However, with proximity to money and fame everyone’s descernment and morals just kinda evaporate.

Friendly Reminder: 3DS, Vita and Switch all use a type of flash memory that needs an electrical charge every decade or so to keep the game data from corrupting. TLDR: Boot up all your games and make a save on them to help preserve them into the future!

Thank you everyone who gave to my kofi! but now comes an actual time for me to ask for help. The family members paying for my mom's funeral pulled out so we no longer have money to bury her. we have set up a go fund me gofund.me/26b86debf i will be putting money given to my kofi there as well

I think with the heightened awareness of game ownership issues, I want to offer any game I eventually release in a made-to-order physical version. Don't really care how much I sell in general, it is something that will make me happy to do!

We placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it, and found an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books.

Dialogue Manager v4 is now available 🎉 If you're making a game in Godot that has characters that talk then Dialogue Manager is for you: dialogue.nathanhoad.net #Godot #GameDev #IndieDev

More videos for you all! Today we have our resident Godot graphical guru, @acerola.gg with a completely different tack. Instead of graphics, let's talk cinematography! Ace chats about why he believes some games have become victims of cinematography. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DG7d...

Super Legs: procedural animation & IK plugin for #godotengine. 100s of params, a super easy setup wizard, with real-time tweaking and visualization. Supports bipeds, insects, etc. Feet planting, hips and knees balancing, jump impact curves. Use fully procedural OR w/ key-framed animations. #godot

Google is auto-opting us into letting them not only save, but train AI on *any media* uploaded during *any* search interaction, including regular Search, Maps, Lens, Translate, Shopping, Flights, etc. Turn off "Search Services History", and delete *all your past data* (reason in thread below).

I know everything feels terrible and doomy but I've been working on surveillance issues for most of my adult life and I have never seen so much energy, momentum, and concrete VICTORIES happening as what we are seeing right now on Flock cameras and facial recognition in venues. Keep. Going.

“Bind” in GDScript is so useful! #godot #gamedev

A little-known fact about GDScript is that you can kind of sort of achieve a pattern similar to C# generics / C++ templates by simply passing a script's class name. It gets interpreted as a "GDScript" resource, which you can then use to fetch its name, contents, etc. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Go ahead and look up CEO vs median worker pay over the past 50 years and layoffs seem incredibly avoidable. Get mad.

if it's layoffs on ship no matter what, never pay that company for anything. why would you. your money will never reach anyone who worked on what you bought, or respected those people. you'll not be investing in anything in any sense software is on the honour system and these people have no honour

Video time! First up is @miziziziz.deeproot.dev with Tips and Tricks From 9 Years of Making Games in Godot. If you've played Endoparisitic or Wrought Flesh, you can imagine they're are since exciting tips and tantalizing tricks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS0X...

Choo choo! GodotCon Boston video train is leaving the station. Our engine train is powered by @clayjohn.bsky.social with the Godot Rendering Team Update. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AX3l... Posting multiple videos a day for the next few weeks!

'Games development' and 'games business' are two seperate things. The sickness lies in the business side. And it is catastrophically sick. In all meanings of the word.

It is very frustrating how much working gets in the way of networking and befriending devs, and enjoying everything involved with creating games. I just want to spend time on my goofy lil Descent inspired game, and not feel like I need sacrifice socializing or relaxation time to do so!

Yeah, alright, I'll do an article on evangelion if I make $2000 down on my medical payments before September 1, 2026. I'll remind everyone on the QTs and RTs, just put "evangelion review" in the tip. People can also tip to Ko-Fi for the goal right now ko-fi.com/stompsite/go...
