I started making a game based on Go a few weeks ago as a way to learn about weighing strategic choices in ai. i got a bit carried away. now I feel like I have a really solid base for a feature complete game. An unexpected detour but I think I might release it. #gamedev #godot #gameart #indiegame

I've started building out the entire world manually through custom illustration rather than reusable tiles, it feels really freeing to be able to play with perspective and a certain amount of optical illusion to communicate with the player. #gamedev #pixelart #godot #leveldesign

Okay, i was annoyed again, so I did a thing: Windows doesn't previews .svg files by default in the windows explorer. So I made an image viewer in @godotengine.org ^^" Is anyone interested in it? maybe as a tool in #PEBI? As open source? #godot #gamedev #indiedev #tool #windows #fileExplorer #svg

$**TL;DR:** Screenshot shows a Windows file explorer and the Godot engine's debug image browser with SVG icons loaded from the Godot editor. **Extracted text:** - File list (left side): - FileDeadBigThumb.svg - FileDeadMediumThumb.svg - FileDialog.svg - FileList.svg - FileMediumThumb.svg - FilenameFilter.svg - Filesystem.svg - FileThumbnail.svg - FileTree.svg - FixedSize.svg etc.... - Image Browser window (right side): - Path: `K:\gamedev\godot\engine\godot\editor\icons` - Icons: FPS, joystick base, red asterisk/star, speaker, ear, stylized camera, particles, and a circular half-yellow design. - Files shown: GeometryInstance3D.svg, Gizmo3DSamplePlayer.svg, GizmoAudioListener3D.svg, GizmoCamera3D.svg, GizmoCPUParticles3D.svg, GizmoDecal.svg - Image count: 952 **Description for a blind person:** A screenshot displays two windows. On the left, a Windows file explorer is open to a folder containing many `.svg` files for Godot icons, all timestamped April 4, 2025. On the right, the Godot engine’s debug image browser shows previews of various colorful icons like FPS text, joystick shapes, a speaker, an ear, and abstract graphics. The folder path indicates it's part of Godot’s editor assets.$

yWriter is so cool, i know Scrivener exists buttt I'm actually falling in love with the simplicity. It feels similar to an IDE. It breaks every 'chapter' into modular scene components with tags for characters or themes. I'm surprised I never heard of it. #gamedesign spacejock.com/yWriter7.html
