Thank you @cookiebadger.bsky.social for adding area lights to Godot! I wanted to have soft glow bars on these dynamic panels and thanks to your work, it's now possible!

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

I researched a dozen ways of putting Godot's new 'game embedding' option in the run bar. I landed on a clean and extendable proposal to improve the entire run bar instead: github.com/godotengine/... feedback always welcome! #godotengine

Prototyping a grid-based 2D puzzle game using Godot's GridMap. So far so good, instead of designing the levels in code/config, it's possible to design them in the editor instead and then reconstruct the grid representation

The new godot UI theme has been merged and is on its way to be the new default! I consider godot to be one of the most important software projects of our time and it's a huge privilege to be able to contribute to it. Happy to see it grow and be used for increasingly ambitious games and apps ❤️

Reworked the deadly/safe fall indicator, based on feedback. It is no longer combined with the reticle, which confused players. To be honest, still considering just removing it and let players just try and see! #indiegame #gamedev #puzzlevideogame #godot

New reticle! It not only shows which surfaces you can switch gravity to, but also lets you know if drop is safe or fatal, if you look down. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #godot #liminal #puzzlegame

Sometimes less is more. Tried to make this puzzle idea work by adding more pieces. The level ended up a confusing, joyless mess. Paring it back brought out the main elements while still challenging the player. #leveldesign #solodev #godot #indiegame

Level design that incorporates a giant octagon structure.

Similar to Portal’s “non-portalable surfaces”, Gridfall will have walls which you can’t use to change gravity direction (but can still walk on). Do you think this material/visual communicates this well? #indiedev #gamedev
