1) this is amazing
2) why didnt you make this sooner???!!! (jk, im just excited)

Hayao Miyazaki leaning back, with a tired expression on his face, eyes closed, cigarette in mouth, hands on his head, holding his glasses.

Had a bad dream where all my peers started using AI to generate "games". They delighted in the incoherent sequences of images and video, and I thought I'd gone insane. Glad to be awake.

its been an absolute nightmare in the corporate software side of things, even some principal engineers at my company are using it 95% of the time and making garbage MRs

Asteroids are now batched and more plentiful, makes the movement feel a lot better

someone else told me that, is this some common thing bots comment? or do you think they really want it to be the warhammer themed? 😆

why are youtube bots commenting purely about ELVES in my SPACE ROGUELIKE??

the new cloud system being completely dynamic will lend itself well to the weather system i plan to have in the future

(i will be doing more, its just almost not needed)

gives me LWJGL flashbacks. as long as it isn't opposite on the X axis as well i'm ... ok with this ...

thinking i might not need to do much to these clouds beyond the basics! Looks great haha

also the commenter left a big rant that was fun to read lol

not sure if it will be useful for your case, but im trying it out and seems to work

you might find this interesting :)

workaround for the issue that was posted in 2025

makes sense yeah, feels like the only good workaround is to set it to some default which will never be used, which is probably only useful in some scenarios

though i guess you want 0 health sometimes...

i could kinda see some workarounds if its just the datatypes default; but if its the allocated value, then i see obvious issues with things like Health

appreciate the link to the other replies you left, i do have one question about that: is the 'default' value the datatypes default? (i.e. 0 for int, "" for string)

or is it what the inital value was when it was allocated? (i.e. 'var x = 15' at the top of a script, is the default now '15'? or '0'?)

if youre a game dev for the love of god run your game on a steam deck (or any mediocre setup). the amount of #indiegame s coming out that cant even run well on my 5060Ti is absolutely absurd

$300 laptop or device to test on now might save you hundreds in refunds

dang this got me looking up setters and questioning my entire Godot experience because i havent used them at all

these are actually SO useful

anyone like randomly generated 3D planets which are entirely shaders?

Some more work on the lighting and visuals, lots and lots to do but im happy with my progress

ai comes out and people forget how to google things, the juniors just ask the most basic questions at work now compared to 2 yrs ago
