Alright, I can let you know when the next online one will start.

Thanks! Right now it’s at closed playtest stage, I hope to be able to put out a demo in the months..

You game is really cool, I have been following it for a bit. I think we have similar approaches although I didn’t go the colony sim way with my current project.

Gotta admit “sponsored by tech billionaires to make their technology seem more important than it is” has never been truer.

Feeling pretty good about having left Germany for Spain right now.

In the game you can encounter deities like this one, incarnating the agreement between witches and the forest. #indiedev #pixelart #darkfantasy #godotengine

If by colliding you mean that it has to stop the motion, it’s normal, Areas are for detection only, like triggering events when you enter a zone or such.

Demilune 🌛 @demilunedev.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Usual suspects are wrong collision layers and area ‘monitorable’ being disabled. More rare is your raycast moving so fast (or is so short) that it is passing through in one frame without intersecting. Or flipped normals on your model.

For someone like me, it feels like stating the obvious. It is amazing how much work there is to do to bring people back to some degree of political awareness. Especially in the west where it means becoming aware of the privileges you’re going to loose.

I was in Bilbao watching it and it was like being in a SciFi movie for 30 seconds.

I don’t think it’s got so much with specific people’s greed tho. The way global finance works right now totally incentivises this behaviour and that is why it’s spread all over the industry.

How it started vs how it’s going. Pretty proud of the work done so far. Whishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/4717360/... #darkfantasy #indiedev #pixelart #wishlistwednesday #godotengine

I am an indie who would enjoy talking about my development process but posting text in here or snapshots of the process feels like shouting in the void.

Guys, is it visible that I am going through a dungeon-synth phase? #darkfantasy #dungeonsynth #drawing #indiedev

A knight in a doorway, lit from the back.

A witch with a mushroom hat and fungus growing from her back.

Castle ruins with a shadow in the doorway.

A woman in an advanced state of fusion with the mycelium network.

I can’t appreciate art like I used to anymore, the suspicion is always there. Rad shirt btw.

Demilune 🌛 @demilunedev.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

The approach that usually works well in Godot is the composition pattern. Basically, small reusable chunks (scenes) that have one simple purpose. That fits best the tree logic. In your case, it might be over engineering, but if you want to expand on it and add more to the game, it will prove useful.

Demilune 🌛 @demilunedev.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

The real questions finally being asked.

010

Demilune 🌛 @demilunedev.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

Since when does one need to have any depth of mind to work in finance tho?

Demilune 🌛 @demilunedev.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

The line is not on the amount, it’s on the authoring, so vibe-coding is technically 100% forbidden. I hope you are right but I doubt asking nicely will make people disclose their AI generated code.

000

Demilune 🌛 @demilunedev.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

I read the policy before commenting and I understand the angle. But as an example, the policy doesn’t mention banning people who don’t disclose their use of AI. The stance is very timid in my opinion.

Demilune 🌛 @demilunedev.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

That feeling when you wrote code smart enought to automate things smoothly with little effort... Shown here: an in-game change of procedural map. #gamedev #darkfantasy #pixelart #godotenginge

Demilune 🌛 @demilunedev.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Another thing that occurred me, is the work is overwhelming and I assume we all care about the wellbeing of reviewers, but the frequency of new versions coming out is intense. Have you guys thought about slowing down?

020

Demilune 🌛 @demilunedev.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

The fact that a stricter policy is impossible to enforce doesn’t seem like enough of a reason for the policy to not take a strong stance. No policy is ever 100% enforceable.

2100

Demilune 🌛 @demilunedev.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

It seems to me the policy is only considering AI from the angle of its quality as a tool. That’s for me really weird, as if an anti AI stance is just a matter of opinion, some abstract thing. But AI has consequences on the real world, the overwhelming numbers of PRs being a tiny fragment of them.

Demilune 🌛 @demilunedev.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

The allowed AI uses in the policy are auto-completion, find and replace and regex. All things that literally are easily doable without ai.

Steam logic is ‘winner takes all’ and this is why we can’t have nice things.

I feel like #3 has been done too many times already, roguelike deckbuilders as well but I haven’t played most of them. #2 sounds like it could be a fresh experiment.

Demilune 🌛 @demilunedev.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

I agree with the sentiment but to me the critique from the quality angle falls a bit short.The real problems are working conditions for artists and devs, the stealing of everyone’s data and the multiple disastrous environmental and economic consequences. These people are simply being irresponsible.

Demilune 🌛 @demilunedev.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

You could lean on this if that’s the tone of your game.

Demilune 🌛 @demilunedev.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

Yes, the limbs elongating, while the body was still looking somewhat alive in your clip, did trigger a bit of that unease feeling I get from body horror.

Demilune 🌛 @demilunedev.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

I could see this used in a darker, more horrific setting as well.

I have to say, the incremental game video did trigger the urge to try and make one, although I ended up doing something else.

Demilune 🌛 @demilunedev.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Very cool work, the colours, the line work.. I’ll be following.

Folks who make video games need unions and better wages and more benefits and, I can't stress this enough, shittier computers.

Well isn’t the rule of thumb to stick to only the stable releases when you work on a project that is more than a prototype? Unless there are new features I absolutely need, I try to update as little as I can.

Demilune 🌛 @demilunedev.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

There is a lot to cover there, you might need to divide into topics: look up tilemaps, grid-based movement, pathfinding… And you’ll have to look up the different methods enemies can take decisions with such as state machines.
