What's Frontier Tower like? I've heard rumors from my art buddies that it's very high tech and has a big wait list, compared to some place like Noisebridge.

I would like to announce that I will be at Pixel Art Park this year as an in person exhibitor. I will be selling several special items including an art book featuring many pieces I have never uploaded, concept art, and variants. I will also be showcasing a playable demo of my game. #pixelartpark

I may have gone a little overboard with the fish. Also, I might become a youtuber: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg5J...

I wrote a short blog post about my serializer plugin for the Godot Engine! It's a plugin for pickling arbitrary data to send over multiplayer... basically, now I can create ships in a bottle, on a ship, in a bottle, ad infinitum. open.substack.com/pub/chriskny...

If you liked using Python's "pickle" library and want something similar in the Godot Engine...

This is ironically what enables me to make bad art - i just say to myself "this is bad but it's better than AI. I need to do this myself. I will get better. "

Did you know you can set up a scene and render it to a texture without any nodes in #Godot, by directly using the RenderingServer? We automatically generate billboard sprites for meshes this way. There's not much info about the RenderingServer online, so I wrote about it: hexaquo.at/pages/using-...

The knee and shoulder department owes me a brand new set of cartelidge. The wrist team badly needs a design review from a senior architect.

Let me make it crystal clear for you. I am an indie dev writing a voxel game. If mojang/Microsoft were to shut down my game, I might actually commit suicide.

I think you are trying to analyze my comment "rationally" and "maturely" and are missing the spiritual tragedy that almost happened last night. You do not want the cruel despair of "mojang DMCAs it's young competitors" in you.

Anyway he responded to someone else and the DMCA was dropped last night.

I'm not sure how you interpreted my message as hateful. I was trying to express, I dunno, reverence that his work inspired millions of people, including me! and trying to express grief at the potential destruction of new art.

I wasn't aware so thank you. I'm investigating.

@jebox.bsky.social if you go down the route of DMCA-ing indie games, you will be killing the indie community you and Notch inspired all those years ago. This world is for making art. If not that, what else are we doing here?

Hey everyone. The Allumeria Steam page is currently down because Microsoft has filed a false DMCA claim on it. They sent an email earlier today claiming that this screenshot infringes on their copyright. I am taking a moment to figure out what my path is going forward, will update soon. #gamedev

Thanks to everyone that showed up at our improvised @godotengine.org meetup during the GDC. There was so many people, I couldn't believe it. And you were all so kind and interesting: it shows that the Godot community not only rocks, but is also very dedicated and invested. #godotengine #gdc #gdc25

I figured out why multiplayer player cameras were broken when a new player joined... just one checkbox!

A UI element from the Godot game engine, this "Current" checkbox is set to "On" and tells the engine to make this camera the "current" camera from a first person perspective. The checkbox should not have been checked.

I made Scritch, a simple, fully customizable media player designed for music artists 🎵 Originally made in response to Epic's acquisition of Bandcamp, I realized @itch.io would be a perfect place for musicians to distribute their albums. The only thing missing was a media player... So I built one!
