TIL that you can reference class names in gdsript within comments quite easily without using external plugins.

Make sure whatever .gd script you want to link to has a class_name. Then put that class within []. Then you can ctl+click to directly access.

Yay for code documentation!

Shout out to all the amazing Black game developers, media, and creatives across every part of making games. I’m rooting for y’all year-round.

Go follow Black folks making games. We’re often ignored, then imitated. Tag some Black devs below and follow the ones you don’t know yet.

Hey yall. As you've seen here - unfortunately a large portion of the ivy road team was laid off today, myself included. We're all looking for work! Gonna do a quick thread about those who were laid off today and why you should hire them:

We've been preparing the ground for you folks for the past 30 years (well only 20 for myself).

It's pretty comfy by now 🐧

A quote from the article "The Unique Concerns of Lifetime Game Projects" by Tanya X. Short: Most game developers aren’t in the business of lifetime game projects. But in case you are one of those few, or just curious about the constraints, I thought I’d share a few lessons and observations Kitfox has encountered from our work with Dwarf Fortress, and to a lesser extent, Caves of Qud and Streets of Fortuna.

In the span of weeks, I've gone from someone who has never used Godot, to struggling to "get" Godot, to really liking Godot, to having taught aspiring gamedevs the basics of Godot, to strongly believing Godot's workflow & structure might be the best approach to developing games for many purposes.

Why We Don't Use AI | Yarn Spinner We get asked about AI a lot. Whether we’re going to add it to Yarn Spinner, whether we use it ourselves, what we think about it. Fair questions. Time to write it all down. Yarn Spinner doesn’t use the...

We're not subtle with all our sassy skeeting about it, but it's probably time for a persistent, official statement about our stance on AI.

TL;DR: we know what we're talking about. GenAI is harming creatives. There will be no AI features in Yarn Spinner. yarnspinner.dev/blog/why-we-...

Hard to believe it's already been over 2 years since I switched from Unity to #GodotEngine.

Haven't looked back!! Open source ecosystem brings peace of mind and it's been a joy to watch the engine already evolve in such a short time.

It definitely is! And it's great in Godot for sure, works well with the node system, tool scripts in the editor etc. in my experience.

In case you're interested, I did a talk on proc gen in Godot at least year's GodotCon:

It would be great if there'd be an app that would generate all capsule images of Steam, Itch.io, EGS, GOG, Microsoft Store, Game Jolt, Google Play, App Store and Unity Asset Store in a single click... 👀

Not sure if you've tried these already, but this reddit thread has a couple of suggestions you can try to get RenderDoc working with Steam on Linux: www.reddit.com/r/linux_gami...

Hope it works out!

Some goofy lil audio experiments in Godot :)

This paper is the OG. The turning point in non-realtime 3D rendering.

"Distributed Ray Tracing" is a bit of misnomer, because it's all applicable to scanline rendering as well.

#GodotTip: Code comments have dedicated keywords that color the text.

Tbh, I love doing visual polish/ technical art stuff like VFX, particles, shaders etc. (especially in Godot).

Then again, I have a hard time finishing all my different prototypes as well 😅
