I feel like jigsaw puzzle fans would love this.
I have so many games sitting on Steam and yet I keep coming back to this: thomaswc.com/2025.html

There's something calming about categorizing things. I recommend it if you are feeling overwhelmed or stressed.

I only wish I'd brought a sled.

I think something is broken in Gmail today because I've gotten that message on every email that came to my inbox. Nonetheless, I do feel like it's time for me to move past Gmail... Google is fully enshittified at this point.

Not sure I fully qualify, but that's an adorable pup.
From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):

-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.

You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

Also, the title font is King of Kings Lynn, which I adore, by indie font creators @chequered.ink. I want to use it for all text in my game but I'm not sure if it's a bit too wonky, so I plan on having an alternative, more normal, font.

Edit: Forgot to do alt text. This is a short video showing a title screen with title "ConveyOrcs" with a number of visual elements, (hopefully) evoking a kind of busy factory setting in a kind of comic/abstract way.

Is this title screen a little busy? #screenshotsaturday #GodotEngine #godot #gamedev

Nice effect!

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, that's what I've been doing, too. Just trying to let the editor do as much work for me as possible with custom resources.

#godot community: The #gdscript interpreter doesn't complain if an inner class extends Resource and I export an array with that type. But there doesn't seem to be a way to access that from the editor. Am I missing something or is this approach not really viable? Seems tidier for struct-like data.

I think I'd do double spacing more if I didn't tend to write on a smaller screen and a little zoomed in... I don't think I usually see as many lines on my screen as you have there.

LOL, nice. I was just thinking that double spacing between functions is maybe the one thing in the godot style guides that I totally ignore. But they also recommend using keywords for 'and' etc, so to each their own.

Hey man, gotta start somewhere. This looks awesome to me.

People need to listen to @tottomori.bsky.social ... Bunch of tracks and Tidal and perfect vibes.

The beauty of literature is that there's something out there for everyone. Everyone has different tastes/likes/preferences. You can't please everyone, and that's okay! For those of you out there who write: keep writing.

An ocean of artists exist in the world, exist on this platform.
Some... okay, most!, with a skillset exceeding imagination...

Don't sell yourself short for being a smaller fish in a huge pond...
Keep at it. Be inspired. Strive. Thrive. Grow.
You'll get there.

That is today's mantra.

The reason I went back to making Balatro 3 months after I essentially gave it up in March 2022 was because I was bored but the internet was out so I couldn't play Rocket League
