scarlet.engineering @scarlet.engineering · 20/07/2026"The books you read reveal a lot about you". That idea was pretty much the starting point for this game.

scarlet.engineering @scarlet.engineering · 08/07/2026The engine's debug view v.s. what the player actually see. Feels great to have a clean simulation engine that's decoupled from the views.

Reposted by scarlet.engineeringAdriaan @adriaan.games · 29/04/2026Godot went through the exact “sponsor is bad, so money is bad” discourse a few months ago, and… nothing of note changed — other than more people were paid to fix your bug reports and improve the engine for everyone.

scarlet.engineering @scarlet.engineering · 20/04/2026been stuck with this volumetric water shader for 2 weeks...

scarlet.engineering @scarlet.engineering · 13/04/2026Finally recovering from last week's cough. Threw what little energy I had into experimenting with procedural generation.

scarlet.engineering @scarlet.engineering · 21/03/2026A #gamedev trick that once you see it. you see it everywhere: Hysteresis Whenever you need to convert analog into binary by introducing a certain threshold, it's a good idea to add a bit of hysteresis around that threshold en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hystere...en.wikipedia.orgHysteresis - WikipediaHysteresis is the dependence of the state of a system on its history.

scarlet.engineering @scarlet.engineering · 07/03/2026My all time favorite coroutine trick: scripting encounters or cinematics sequences with it Waaaay easier to read and tweak compare to state machines for linear sequences. just be aware that we have no way to cancel a coroutine in godot currently #GodotEngine #gamedev 2101

Reposted by scarlet.engineeringGameDiscoverCo @gamediscoverco.bsky.social · 16/01/2026Interestingly, Steam just rewrote - but did NOT remove - its 'does your game have AI in it?' dev disclosure form. Valve's making it clearer the 'AI powered tools' (like code helpers) don't need citing - "Efficiency gains through the use of [AI powered dev tools] is not the focus of this section." 34818
