Your games hook is "why would someone want to play this?", not (by default) its USP It's the thing that in a 6-second trailer makes people go "oooh I want to know more". If you can't articulate that, then you're going to struggle to find what makes the game interesting to the average person

You CANNOT tell me that there's 20+ years between these two people. They both look to be in their twenties, maybe early thirties. Best I can come up with after hearing Anca lament the age difference is him being 18 and her 38, which still feels like a stretch? #BloodOfTheDawnwalker

i've had other programmers tell /me/ "yeah i trust you so i won't bother trying to understand this, ship it" so i am, shall we say, pretty skeptical that turning the entire profession into oops all code review is going to lead to quality outcomes

Yeah i agree, it's so strange to make a fuss about it As if a small fraction of players making and installing the most predictable mod for a game is emblematic of how the timer was received Every game has some form of Godmode mod on Nexus! It's doesn't mean anything

I'm sorry, but I have to ask: Why does a Polish studio decide to release their game at midnight our time? Fun theatrics aside, it being vampire-themed and having day/night mechanic, that must be a logistical nightmare for certain jobs. A lot of time-sensitive work starts at launch...

That game dev teams are homogenously in agreement on the game's design. Every team I've been on has had a ton of debate and conflict on every single aspect of a game's design. "Did the devs just not notice X!?" yeah, half of us got in a real nasty knife fight with the other half. I lost an ear lobe.

Oh, just happy crying at work over the community's reaction to cushions, that's all, what about you? Have a great Tuesday, y'all. 🥹

A screenshot from Minecraft. Four players are in an abandoned camp with a tent and campfire, surrounded by orange trees in the dappled forest. The tent has been patched up by two of the players with some green wool stairs. The other two players are sitting(!!!) on cushions by the campfire, enjoying some downtime in the dappled forest.

I see some concerns raised about Godot's policy on contributions using AI. TL;DR: Godot isn't vibe-coded. As a whole, the Godot foundation and maintainers are fairly critical of AI usage, and don't make nor accept vibe-coded contributions. Godot doesn't include AI features nor intends to add any.

Godot's current policy on AI-assisted contributions reads like this:

"The use of AI to contribute to Godot is discouraged, and contributions made entirely by AI are prohibited.

We acknowledge that AI can be useful, but we are convinced that human effort results in better and more relevant contributions.

If you do use AI, we expect that you put in effort to proofread and improve anything it generates, and that you disclose what you used AI for. As maintainers spend significant time reviewing your code, please make sure that the code you submit is well-tested and functional. Please be respectful of their time and only submit something you have put thought and effort into."

Would this problem be non-existent if one had more self-confidence + assurance the shared boss won't be pulled along by the "complainers" into questioning their work? Sure. Alas, we live in a scary, capitalistic world and could be a bit more considerate of each other's roles & feelings regardless.

What is it about working in #SocialMedia that everyone thinks they can do your job better themselves? That feedback doesn't need an appropriate place & time, that hearing personal opinions and anecdotes after you just posted something is super helpful and urgent, necessary even. From the SMM POV ⬇️
