iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

That would be really funny if someone did that, though it might fall under the submission rules, like submitted games have to be easily playable by others either by being an html5 game, having a version for every OS, or having the files be printable for board games

If the jam has judges then it would probably make sense for them to not participate... I haven't been a part of any jams with judges though, only ratings. And for playing other submissions, it's just seen as reciprocity

cronch @paprika.live · 24/09/2026

well the spirit of a jam is (almost) always to create something new for one, though usually all they have in the rules is that the game has to be submitted just for that jam

So apparently there's a Godot For Switch port on the Nintendo forums? Like I thought I had to go with one of the handful of publishers or do it myself, but if I can just, go grab the open source Switch version of Godot? Holy fuk old.reddit.com/r/godot/comm...

old.reddit.com

I ported my Godot game to Switch 1 & 2 and Nintendo just approved it!

I’ve always designed my game *Dawnfolk* with handheld consoles in mind, so bringing it to Switch was a must for me. At first, I thought porting...

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."

just finished a new game where you control a little army of demons and kill hikers in the woods and cops it's called Baal's Birthday Bash play it in your browser captcronch.itch.io/baals-birthday-bash

Capsule art of Baal's Birthday Bash. Two round red little goat demons are seen carrying a log and a mound of bloody flesh in the woods, and behind them amidst the trees is a large fleshy bloody idol to Baal.

Screenshot from Baal's Birthday Bash showing a handful of little red goat demons carrying bloody flesh piles back to a pulsating demon mouth pit in the earth, in front of a half-finished fleshy idol, surrounded by puddles of blood and what seem to be extradimensional portals.

throwback to that godot docs page deleted 5 years ago

Encrypting save games

Why?

Because the world today is not the world of yesterday. A capitalist oligarchy runs the world and forces us to consume in order to keep the gears of this rotten society on track. As such, the biggest market for video game consumption today is the mobile one. It is a market of poor souls forced to compulsively consume digital content in order to forget the misery of their everyday life, commute, or just any other brief free moment they have that they are not using to produce goods or services for the ruling class. These individuals need to keep focusing on their video games (because not doing so will fill them with tremendous existential angst), so they go as far as spending money on them to extend their experience, and their preferred way of doing so is through in-app purchases and virtual currency.
But what if someone were to find a way to edit the saved games and assign the items and currency without effort? That would be terrible, because it would help players consume the content much faster, and therefore run out of it sooner than expected. If that happens, they will have nothing that prevents them from thinking, and the tremendous agony of realizing their own irrelevance would again take over their life.
No, we definitely do not want that to happen, so let's see how to encrypt savegames and protect the world order.
