imo it's wild that this basic layout for hasn't changed since godot 2.0; mode buttons up top, scene tabs right below it, and a vertical list of scripts "within" all that. I really think it could use a fundamental experienced UX rethink
here's what I mean; the script "mode" at the top is actually the top-level organization while editing scripts, so it's strange that there's such a strong organizational visual element of the scene tab between that and what you're working with.
The hierarchy of the tabs for scenes and scripts is confusing. The scene tab is connected to the script editor, which can be totally unrelated to said scene. Having a *different* vertical list of tabs that's actually controlling the script editor but is visually within the top tab isn't good.
Idk I've never seen the button show up; I think it only becomes available somewhere if it's been at least 30 days since the last update. Presumably it's shown to users in a much more positive light eg "let this creator know you would love to hear from them! :)"
Presumably it's to help prompt creators to remember to write updates but in a non-automated-nag way, which I admire in principle.
Large red banner at the top of Kickstarter that says "a backer requested an update for Lancer tactics". It also sends an email.
I understand why it exists, but getting this notification from Kickstarter always makes me *so* mad. I'm literally already writing the update and you're out there obnoxiously tapping on the glass of my aquarium.
"video games make u violent" is actually true but what people don't mention is that that violence is channeled through societally acceptable outlets like "joining the military" (they use games to desensitize and gamepads for drones for a reason) or "being a cop"
I'm improving editor performance by only redrawing the area around the changed tiles instead of the entire map every time, and accidentally invented Lancer Minesweeper
We don't officially support mods yet, but adding more ear types was the proof-of-concept for Gavstar's modloader here: github.com/GavstarB/lan... — I expect them to continue to be a popular addition to the game :)
It also produced in me the surreal and temporary feeling of programming amnesia; I felt like I literally didn't, intellectually, know how to code anymore. A lot of that knowledge was apparently in my fingers.
oh I have a splittie too! I remember being SO much slower for the first few months, but it's very nice once you get used to it
Just watched cosmic princess!! It was so good!!!

Muito forte esse trem de asa
Oh I've been wanting to! It and kpop demon hunters, which I get the impression have somewhat similar setups?

Not too much! Everything plugs in via USB or HDMI into the steam deck's dock which also props it up and lets it be a second lil screen.
How it's going: actually really well?? Hooked up a keyboard + mouse + external monitor and it's running *leagues* more smoothly than either of the laptops. The year of the Linux desktop is real.
Today I switched to using my steam deck as my main game dev machine:
1. Godot forward+ no longer runs on my intel macbook
2. my old PC laptop tries its best but is a bit of a 2018 clunker
3. I was holding out to get a steamcube but the AI bubble has destroyed new computer prices and availability
That'd be great! Our major blocker rn is figuring out how we want to handle moderation & fold in volunteers for that
We'll announce one soon!
SHIRTLESS ON A ROOFTOP V0.9.5 is now OUT!

What are you doing for calculating LOS? Raycasting?
Let's goooo 😍😍
Our official answer for this has been "yes, as part of the work for launching on Steam!" but that wasn't good enough for one player and who's already unilaterally added mod support 😅: github.com/GavstarB/lan...
We'll still add official support eventually! Nice to see it can be done regardless tho
The steam page for Lancer Tactics is now up!
Throw us on your wishlist!
