- Asset store (!) soon™ 🛒
- Job board soon™ 💼
- Project priorities very soon™ 📜
- (Permissive) trademark policy soon™ ™️

It feels that way !!!

They really like that wall!

I know it's 'Blue sky' but I pronounce it as 'Bloosky'
Just me?

Damn.. it's always like that

Hexagonal map tile generation, well that was quick!

Step 1: Camera movement, Step 2: Make the rest of the game

Finally starting a new gamedev project again, It feels good! Let's see how long I last this time...

Dev snapshot: Godot 4.4 dev 5 With GodotCon behind us and our developers recuperated, we're thrilled to return to a more frequent release-cycle.

⚠️ Important: Starting with dev 5, all resource types will generate .uid files, making references path-agnostic. These files are editor-only but should be added to version control for proper data sync.

We’d love your feedback on this change!

Dawn Of War 3 had similar issue of low player count, everyone disliked initial game mode and maps. By the time they added new modes and maps it was over, shut down shortly after.
Lets hope that doesnt happen this time

Finally playing RE8: Village, its great but I can't get over the supposedly inhuman, super dangerous werewolves that just slowly lumber towards me allowing 10 headshots to land... I saw them leap from rooftops and rip people to shreds at the start

This feels like twitter before Musky.. how refreshing!
