Look ma, I have conveyors! 🎉 Need to fix some things, but it works! Done with #godot #ECS (#gecs). (written with huge of a claude code) Fixing it all today.

Had an another "AHA" moment using #GECS (#godot #ecs) Not everything needs to be a components inside an entity! It can be another entity! Like a e_garage and it's e_attachment point for a vehicle. And those can be connected with C_ChildOf/C_AttachedTo with relationships. 🤯 #gamedev

Godot scene dock with Fabricator entity consisting from SpawnPoint entity, Slot entity and other nodes. Slot entity is selected showing C_Slot component attached.

Fully switched to #GECS v9.3.3 (#Godot #ECS) Somehow now everything is an Observer and will be even more. Is this normal? #gamedev #indie

Screenshot of Godot scene dock with node. Half of which are Observer nodes.

After working on my #game and #ECS -hybrid in #godot I decided to check how GECS does it. Found out that my architecture already is like 90% similar 🤯 So decided to try #gecs instead 😱 Now I'm doing my game full ECS (claude is helping to teach and migrate). I'm happy! Love it! 🎉 #gamedev

DinoCrys @dinocrys.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I'm on the verge to fully switch to full ECS using #godot. It just makes so much sense! Architecture does not have or need any workarounds, ducktyping etc. Cognitive load feels minimal like it should be! Right now will have ECS-hybrid: ECS with signals and minimal queries (once to cache). 😱 #gamedev

Definitely gona try in next #core-mechanics-challenge Planning to have it around Halloween time. Submitting to multiple #gamejam s is allowed. Could use mechanics theme from this one and general theme from some other #jam

DinoCrys @dinocrys.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

How do you wire Health & Damage in #Godot? Plain health: int? take_damage(hit: HitData)? A reusable HealthComponent? Full ECS — HealthSystem polling DamageQueue? Or never mutate health — derive it from an append-only Damage/Heal ledger, like a bank balance? (Asked Claude for "UML"s) #gamedev

Tired of your addons polluting your project view when you just wanna see your own stuff? I made an addon (haha) that gives you a little button in the FileSystem tab to toggle the addon folder. One addon to hide them all. Grab it here: codeberg.org/MajorMcDoom/...

This week, PlayStation announced that it had pulled out of publishing Hideo Kojima's next game, Physint. But the company didn't give a reason. So I made some calls. Here's why PlayStation bailed and why Xbox snapped Kojima right up: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

My #gamedev of co-op space base builder game continues. Day 6 by what AI has set up to me. But I already have about 1 week of a backlog probably 😱 Also my no-so-ECS becoming more ECS'y. Weird 😅 Need to check out GECS and have some "inspiration" 😅🦖 github.com/csprance/gecs #godot

Yesterday I did more Components. Now I have ECS in #godot with nodes without having ECS! 😱 Systems live in main level scene, entities are bare Node3D and components just Nodes. Hooking them up in editor and everything just works. 🎉Specification pattern for queries #gamedev

Found a new use for AI (Claude Code). Gave him a list of things for the game basic loop to be considered done and asked him to split it by daily tasks and order them 😅 It checked my code and made a list. Doing day 2 tasks now. 14 day total till full basic game loop without content! 😱 #gamedev

Always wanted to use some, but always forgot and was bit scared! 100% will try now! All my godot components nodes and systems will be shiny! 🎉

Decided to go with Going Space: The "Home" Directive. Originally it was Going Space: The New Beginning. Other options included words like "keystone", "seedfall", "forerunner", "signal", "bridgehead". Hope it won't make the game worse. #gamedev #godot

DinoCrys @dinocrys.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Preparing to create a game app on steamworks. I want to have a universe running named "Going Space". And games could be like: "Going Space: The New Beginning". LLMs don't like that. 😭 What do you think of "Going Space"? Does it make sense? Any suggestions? #gamedev

My PC will be 10 years old next year. Keep on chuggin', old friend.

Panel 1
Text box: 2016
Lester and Marla stand around looking at a PC with glowing inner components.
Lester: Holey smokes. You built this yourself?
Marla: Sure did!

Panel 2
Marla rests her head on her hands, looking at the PC proudly.
Marla: I couldn't afford the most cutting-edge components but by the time this thing's out of date I'm sure I'll be able to upgrade it.

Panel 3
Text box: 206
Marla desperately clutches her PC. In the background her monitors show news articles which say, "Sam Altman Bulldozes Orphanage to Build Data Center," and, "RAM Prices Skyrocket Again."
Marla: Just hold on for a couple more years, baby. That's all I ask. The bubble's gonna pop any day now. Then you can rest.

@jackiecodes.bsky.social #gamejam is over. Decided not to submit. Could not fully figure out the game loop of reusing same plot. Quick fix was "sacrificing": throw old, get new. Didn't like it that much, but I see potential. Will postpone this project and get back to my primary space one. #gamedev

Finally figured out how to do animations in #godot and to make them nice, decoupled, synced with world action! Also - gravity! All are @kenney.nl assets for @jackiecodes.bsky.social #gamejam (Jackalaka Jam #4). Not gona win, but at least now I'm a pro at architecting animations! #gamedev

Was #gamedev ing on picking up "stuff" and having it nice with animations. But I can not figure out how to blend them so that it would always be "holding" animation + "walking". Will try using animation tree. Hope there are some similar examples, or I will be force to make a youtube video 😱😂 #godot

I just found out nice, but hidden feature in #Godot. I'm on 4.7.1 stable. In editor, you can navigate your camera by holding right mouse button and WASD. While holding Shift you can speed up. But did you know that with Scroll Wheel you can actually change the speed of it? #GameDev 🤯
