When I review mech games, I have a robo-barbie scale for a reason!

Panthavma @panthavma.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Fair enough. I've seen enough platforms that just get worse over time once in a leading position, while I see that steam is proactively pushing for better stuff, so I can't really hold them in bad esteem. From experience I would say it's mostly lacking in deeper discovery, but it's also taking steps

You think? I feel this last few years Steam have done quite a lot actually, adding good features and stuff, and pushing a lot of boundaries with proton.

I have a lot of respect for Matt @mattrified.bsky.social who has always been very transparent with his whole indie solo (mostly?) FGC dev career. It's not easy to share the ups and downs of ones work like he does. But it's very encouraging and has helped me be more transparent myself too. Big thanks

Andrea @andreadprojects.bsky.social is both a dev AND a community leader in the FGC dev space. Always open to chat about his experience, share his knowledge and bringing people together. Plus he's also a fan of Saint Seiya like myself so that's a plus. We salute the mysterious yellow fedora man 🫡

More FGC heroes: Sharpie's @sharpiepls.com energy is unmatched across the FGC. Her community work throughout the years is unmatched and has been able to represent multiple game fandoms as well as female and poc voices. Cheers to a great leader in the space. 🔥

Considering the latest in the FGC, we should celebrate our heroes a lot more. Add yours, I'll start: Mike "MrMKL" @mrmkl.bsky.social is a force of nature in the indie FGC streams. So much so that he makes curating the indie space at EVO look easy. Amazing work. Give him a follow. Here here!

It's been a while since I saw anything on the game, but I think the dev did post something last year ? btw for Molten Winds you can remove the "open edition": it was supposed to be a small project as an example for Castagne but it expanded a lot lol, looks like this now: bsky.app/profile/pant...

Panthavma @panthavma.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

Great job! Super impressive too, you've even referred to games like that P5 fangame that I've only seen dev screens of, you really went in depth

Panthavma @panthavma.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

You could check out Castagne, it's open source and focused on efficiency and flexibility, yet seen as accessible by beginners if you genuinely try to engage with it! castagneengine.com

On the one hand, stylized rendering has a lot of potential on lower end devices On the other, not having access to as much computing power, and especially interfaces / features could be trouble since I play a lot on my rendering tech lol

Panthavma @panthavma.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

Just the two actors, and it keeps the hitboxes / hurtboxes active. It also has use in traditional fighters as projectiles or entities can still move unbothered, otherwise it also feels bad there

I just got linked the post because I was talking about how there's very little actual info on the field haha I think it's mostly that people don't know they need it, its a dreaded step and the first working solution stays for years

Within 12 hours of me mentioning that USD could be a good format to load in Godot, Miguel has it loading with the right shading. Nuts.

I really want to work on Kronian Titans and Molten Winds thede days, unfortunately I have to resist to follow the logical and efficient path. Its a bit frustrating, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do

Iirc there's an exoplanet that was "locked" with its sun, such that the sun always saw the same part of the planet. Makes for a big variation in temperature over the two halves lol

If advanced stylized rendering interests you, I recommend my two articles on lines and shading, and my GodotCon talk from 2023 I didn't publish much on FGs, but my godotcon2024 talk was on Castagne, which I've completely rewritten recently and will use in the jam! panthavma.com/talks/godotc...

I often refer to your "how do I develop my style?" article when I mention how never figuring out how to do textures in Blender led me to a PhD in stylized rendering lol After a quick look it was in this article! panthavma.com/articles/ren...

Thanks! I love your writing btw, I think I even cited you in a rendering article / talks, its often very insightful!

Panthavma @panthavma.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

Interesting! Reminds me of functional programming. Seems like a fairly different direction from the one I took with Castagne

Panthavma @panthavma.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

Pressure's on! I hope we can make great things with my 🇫🇷 team. It's going to be bleeding edge between the new Castagne and the render pipeline, let's hope we can follow through!
