I printed it and stuck self-adhesive copper tape to it. There's copper tape with conductive adhesive so you can add multiple overlapping pieces and it counts as one conductive surface. Then I used the second part of the mold to shape the copper, so that it sticks inside the recessed traces. Then I used sandpaper to file away at the raised ridges. The copper traces are now electrically independent of each other. Done! But if I want, I can remove the extra copper tape.

The companion mold at the bottom. This second 3D-printed part pushes the copper tape down into the recessed trace channels so it conforms to the shape. The two parts sandwich together with alignment spikes to keep everything registered.

I made a tool that turns PCB designs into 3D-printable molds. you sandwich copper tape between the parts, sand the ridges, and you have a real working PCB. no etching, no chemicals. I am losing my mind

I am going to go to my grave quietly crying 'please put your email in every bio' if you are a smaller content creator.

If it takes more than four clicks to find an email, a piece of me walks into the sea. People want to give you opportunities!!!!

Godot's GitHub has increasingly many pull requests generated by LLMs and it's a MASSIVE time waster for reviewers – especially if people don't disclose it. Changes often make no sense, descriptions are extremely verbose, users don't understand their own changes… It's a total shitshow. #godotengine

Since now DICE is done and people are talking about GDC, I guess I need to start hyping up #WhatAGameDevLooksLike for that week (although of course you don’t need to be at GDC to participate)!

Screenshot of text: unfuck google drive by shooting gemini Hey folks! Google is fucking you via sneaky enshittification again! Want the shit in your google drive to load instantly again, instead of taking for-fucking-ever? Open your gdrive (web OR app) Settings > Manage Apps Gemini was checked "use as default" (and i sure the fuck didn't set it that way, this was a silent push) Nuke that, and suddenly, folders that took up to a minute to populate and sort do so in a fraction of a second.

Do you have a consistent base color palette (or sub-palettes for seasons) for this world?

It's been over a year since the last major update but I hope it's been worth the wait!

GB Studio 4.2.0 includes over 180 changes, improvements, new features, and bug fixes, making it the biggest release so far.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Hierarchy examples of nested control nodes that define specific scaling behaviors (scaling/aspect ratio for UI to meet intended UX is the bane of my existence in all game engines)

I am researching some workflows and would love help if possible.

If you are making a non-NDA'd game in Unreal, Unity, or Godot, would you mind making a fullscreen timelapse recording of yourself working for 3 hours, at 3 frames per second? That'll be about ~18 minutes of footage.

Any game is fine!

Idea: an open-source Super Smash Bros game written in #Godot and people can raise PRs to add their own character of their own games to it, including links to their own games.

We were scheduled to participate in #ゲームダンジョン11 today, but due to the heavy snow causing train disruptions and the risk of being unable to return home, we’ve had to cancel our participation.
We sincerely apologize to everyone who was looking forward to seeing us 🙇

Thinky Direct 2026 - Open Submissions Last year at Thinky Games, we ran our very first Thinky Direct, sharing some amazing new trailers, reveals, and announcements with puzzle fans around the world. It was such a joy to organise that we're bringing it back for 2026! The Thinky Direct is a 30-60 minute digital livestream event, all about showcasing amazing upcoming thinky games - games that are generally about solving puzzles and careful reasoning, rather than fast reflexes or dexterity. We loves games that make you scratch your head, ponder interesting problems, and declare "aha!" when you discover the answer. We expect Thinky Direct 2026 to happen towards the end of May. This year, we're opening up submissions publicly so that we don't miss any great upcoming games. In particular, we're looking to feature exclusive trailers, content updates, big reveals, and exciting announcements! Please note that all content must be exclusive to this event. Previously released trailers or videos will not be accepted for inclusion in the showcase. We partner up with the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase, a Steam sale organized by Draknek & Friends, to reach gamers on the Steam platform. If your game is accepted to the Thinky Direct and is eligible for the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase, it will be included in both. If you think your game would be perfect for showcasing in Thinky Direct 2026, please let us know about it! Of course, to keep the event focused, spaces are extremely limited, so we're unfortunately not able to accept every game that is submitted to us. We are nonetheless incredibly grateful for any submissions we do receive, so thank you for taking the time, and I hope we can support your game in other ways if not through the Thinky Direct. The deadline for submissions is 23:59 UTC on February 28, 2026. We will respond by March 14, 2026. The event will happen around the end of May, 2026 - specific date TBD.

Dear all thinky game devs: we're running another Thinky Direct this year, and this time with open submissions!

Thinky Direct showcases exclusive trailers, announcements, and reveals for upcoming thinky games!

➡️ Submit your game by Feb 28:

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.

Prepping our #SteamNextFest coverage over on noclip_2 and the @noclipvideo.bsky.social Crewcast for later this month.

If you're an indie dev planning to have your demo as part of the event, feel free to reply here, in my dms, or send me an e-mail (in bio)!

Definitely a good portion of my mutuals who run tiny indie studios (and are therefore always on the hunt for admin-dev-tools) would love to see it! If I get some time later in the month I'll make a thread about it if you haven't gotten around to it by then 👍

Keep up the great work and take care!

have you done a thread talking about the promotional section (eshop/steam/itch) export features of the launcher yet?
