Rémi Verschelde @akien.bsky.social · Oct 19

Heya! I'm Rémi (he/him), French developer living in Copenhagen.

I'm the project manager and lead maintainer for @godotengine.org.

I'm also co-founder of @w4games.bsky.social, which provides Godot-focused products and services.

I'm passionate about open source, indie gamedev, Linux, and languages.

Photo of Rémi Verschelde, ca. this decade. Man in his thirties, medium-length brown hair, thick eyebrows, short beard, wearing rectangular glasses.

A meme with two cats, an adult cat labeled "Project Manager" and a kitten labeled "Junior Tester". They stand on a tiled floor. The junior tester has a speech bubble saying "Bug, bug, there is a bug!" while the project manager restrains it with its paws, covering its mouth, and says "Not this time Junior! Today is the release day."

We just released Rift Riff on Google Play and App Store, and I'm mega proud of the work the team did to get this running smoothly in #godot. The way the game has quick rounds, and how its interaction style is built, may (dare I say) even make it a better fit for phones than for desktop #mobilegaming

Did you check out our latest update? Lots of work in progress on display for Children of Infinity, especially Melee visuals! We only had room to share a few slices of this longer VFX reel. Audio is still in progress and includes placeholder mouth sounds: get 'em while they're ridiculous! #Godot

Yeah I think it's a good approach here for something that's meant to be used by hundreds or thousands of people.

The recommendation not to include `.godot` is for VCS specifically, which I assume isn't the download format here.

Implemented a simple "inspection mode" in Mops & Mobs (s.team/a/2851050/) just so you can admire a few loose body parts...

Building more of the world, I'm finding the room maps give away a little too much. Trying a compass instead - it switches to a stage map on the pause screen, showing visited rooms as squares and the connections between them.
