Late Godot 4.x releases including 4.8 feel like an inflection point where the engine is starting to feel like a dependable tool

My game for the @MsDOSClub contest, still in quite an early stage, running on an actual 486DX2@66! 🤩 (CRT👿) I'm not sure about the teletype effect for this kind of game (kinda point'n'click adventure). What do you think? #retrogamedev #gamedev #indiedev

To be traditional, I was even building on DOS. DJGPP is very slow there. 🐢 Now (still on RHIDE), the GCC.EXE invoked is a helper that proxies over to a script in WSL 2, that runs the native DJGPP. ⚡ Paths, stdout, etc. are adapted along the roundtrip. #retrogamedev #gamedev

Dr. Homes is here again. Asset import pipeline perfected (better color matching + dithering, to give some "texture" and sense of detail even to very flat-lit scenes). Character controller improved (no partial steps + smooth rotation.) Frame rate will improve. #retrogamedev #gamedev #indiedev

Let me introduce to you the one and only Dr. Homes! Still in a placeholder room. Displayed in two different lighting environments. Around 15 fps on the target hardware (more than enough, by the way.) #retrogamedev #gamedev #indiedev

I want to keep the process very classic, so (given I can't model a proper human being) I've taken a model from a pack made for the good old 3D Studio for DOS (not MakeHuman, not even Poser). Mind you, I'm rigging it myself for Bones Pro! #retrogamedev #gamedev #indiedev

Pedro J. Estébanez — Pedrocorp @pedrocorp.net · 10/07/2026

Progress! Keyboard handling, character pipeline, drawing and scaling. This is an unlit test room with a placeholder character, but the game will have some fancy lighting. Thing is, this is actually much more than a plain sprite. Stay tuned... #retrogamedev #gamedev #indiedev

The Foundation has been pragmatical and wise here. Idealism or moralism would have just been a play to the gallery or a pie in the sky. Sadly, AI is already moralized (until one day when it'll stop being so for most) and any speak about it will create sides.

By the way, I've hunt this naughty subcluster down. It was a subtle overflow issue. I'm using as few bits as possible everywhere and the budget was too low here. I've added a superfast bit trick clamp and it's solved now. #retrogamedev #gamedev #indiedev

Pedro J. Estébanez — Pedrocorp @pedrocorp.net · 20/06/2026

So, the glitchy roughness was due to an RLE decoding bug. I've fixed it and added some nice dithering so I still get a grainy look but with more correct visuals.

Did you know you can set up a scene and render it to a texture without any nodes in #Godot, by directly using the RenderingServer? We automatically generate billboard sprites for meshes this way. There's not much info about the RenderingServer online, so I wrote about it: hexaquo.at/pages/using-...

a 3D tree asset on the left, with an arrow pointing to spritesheets on the right. The spritesheets contain 2 albedo sprites (front and side) and 2 normal sprites (also front and side).

Given @vscode.dev won't address the feature request to allow easy change of the GUI font— github.com/microsoft/vs... —, I've done one of the typical hacks: patching the CSS with a script I can run after every update. Now I have usable scrollbars and readable code in search-replace!

Only a clock with hands sweeping smoothly—continuously—should be called 'analog'. If they move in steps, that clock is as digital as one with a numeric display, as both are 'discrete.' But it has no 'digits,' so 'digital' isn't a legit term either. What about 'pseudoanalog' or 'digital-in-disguise'?

The iPhone 8 was cute. Perfect size, low weight. Maybe too slippery. I bought one as a testing device and I find myself considering adopting it as my regular phone despite me being an Android-first user.
