Little test: importing the rendered layers & JSON files into Godot. It uses a shader that positions quads in screen space and puts them at specific depth values. Pretty much just works!

It's so funny whenever someone pops into a programming community with "My code isn't working right, what could have went wrong? By the way, I let AI write most of it for me" Gee, I wonder what went wrong.

FurAffinity (a furry focused online art gallery) is looking for funding after refusing to comply with advertiser demands. And oh boy are some of those advertiser demands are pretty ridiculous.

I'll still continue work on my own engine project because it's fun, but it's really cool to see someone else accomplish basically what I wanted to with mine, just in a different programming language.

Been tinkering with this the last couple days and this might just be my go to engine for personal projects now. It's really nice to have a modern engine that's actually based around this old workflow style.

man i hate when someone (even an ai hater) starts saying/warning that it's actually very competent in some particular area now because all it means is they identified an area where their personal bar for competency is low. the shit isn't good for anything there's just things you don't mind being bad

Like, sure, those limitations did play *some* role in the equation. But they weren't the sole driving factor, nor were they "preventing the developers from achieving their true vision." That just isn't how games are made.

Mimi @miscmimi.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

It really irks me how so many people look at the mechanics and styles of old games as if they were purely byproducts of hardware limitations, completely erasing the real design and intent put into them.

Managed to hunt down two photos of the kitbashed model built by Jim Bowers as reference for the original WipEout game, sometime around 1993 or 1994. You can see the logos on it are harvested from other kits- Toyota and Buick logos, USAF roundels, and more that I'm sure someone else could ID

i love how everyone wants to be a famous artist, because artists are cool and get written about a lot and tend to be remembered, yet they resent working artists and view the art-making process as a form of gatekeeping, because there's just soooo much money in art and we want it all to ourselves lmao

any artist who primarily uses generative "AI" to make their art is a poser. any artist who cannot fathom giving up the use of a technology that came out like three years ago in their art practice is a fucking sell-out. there simply is not enough material wealth in art to justify such naked laziness.

General indie game dev trend that I think rubs me the wrong way: People who talk about game design by latching onto some piece of terminology, conflating it with "boring focus tested AAA slop", and just generally showing that they have no idea what it actually means

-even hurts the person working on it because it turns them into someone so obsessed with getting that “solo” title that it hurts their ability to work with others, thus limiting their potential to make games. I dunno! Sighs

i really dislike the obsession with ”solo dev” flexes because i feel like its hurtful for everyone involved. It hurts the people who work on the game who don’t get proper credit, hurts potential devs who are sold on this “ideal” of being a solo dev and makes future work harder for themselves, and-

Heya! Over the past two weeks, I've been working on my own addon like this one but for #GodotEngine! It's called DashIO, and I'll be making its Codeberg repo public once I have enough "entities" for it to be more useful (hopefully soon), but for now I'm really itching to talk about it!! #DashIO

Screenshot of the Godot editor, showing the 3D editor with a number of placed nodes, whose icons are a mix of Source Engine entity icons as well as similar but rough looking placeholder ones I made. On the bottom of the window, a new IO Editor dock panel is visible, showing the node's target name as well as the table of its outputs.

A LogicTimer node is currently selected in the 3D editor, and its properties are shown in the Inspector on the right side of the window.

Back in '09 or '10 when I first played Portal I developed a fear of saying "Portal" in earshot of my parents because they always thought I was saying "porno." Every time. I was nearly an adult and they still somehow could not understand what I was saying.

I started up a new C project after spending the last few months in C++ for the first time in years. I'm finding that I appreciate the simplicity even more than I did before I didn't hate using C++, but C's stripped back feature set really helps keep me from overthinking or over complicating things
