Back when I used Unity, I always envied Unreal's SkookumScript, with its seamless support for sequentiality + concurrency. Today I realized I've already achieved a similar workflow in Godot?? Such a giddy feeling. Look at this parallel code! 👇📜⏱️ #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

By the way, we’re always on the lookout for writers of interesting gaming features… We are very much indie, and there are also limits to what will fit into a print magazine, but we do pay decent rates! Our standard rate is £300 for a researched 1500 word piece. Transparency is good, folks!

Version 1.0 of The Line Must Go Down is now out! In includes features that I wished I had time for during the jam, including a news ticker that give hint about what one stock will do tomorrow, and shorting 10M stocks at a time. Have fun! Play it here: mattwoelk.itch.io/the-line-mus... #godot

"Matt, you've made so many jam games that I just don't know which to play first! Help!" - Everyone, probably. I've made a huge flowchart to help you out, with such decision points as "dogs?" and "chill?". Enjoy! mattwoelk.ca/blog/jam-gam... #gaming #gamejams #indiegames

Flow chart decision point: "Dogs?" Leading to "Get To The Sea!" and "Dog's Best Friend 2".

Flowchart decision point: "Music-Based" and "Chill?", leading to "Purgatory is a Music Store" and "DJ Hamstarz: Aspiring Mix-Lord".

I just published my first #godot asset! A multi-touch pan/rotate/zoom proof of concept I made for a future project. Wrapping my head around all the matrix transform math to convert between all the contexts took a minute, so hopefully it helps someone else. godotengine.org/asset-librar...

Asset icon showing a tilted rectangle being manipulated by a hand in a pinching gesture, with the finger contact points emphasized with green circles.

A screenshot of an example application using the multi touch addon. There are a collection of shapes on screen, the largest being a photo with two touch contact points visualized as blue circles.

(play the game, take screenshot, fill in a short form) i.e. Want to playtest a short Deck-Builder? :) Then DM one of us.
