Anyone need any help with anything Godot-related? Doesn't have to be game stuff - in addition to games, I have a lot of experience with business apps written in Godot. Just applying to jobs at the moment, but taking a break.

Actually, given your previous post here, I clearly have no idea. 🤣 Excited to see it!

BackAt50Ft-KyleTheCoder @backat50ft.bsky.social · 1h

I guess if it's a beta, it's gotta be more functional. Let's see. How about a new export target for PlayStation (for folks that use your services)?

More likely would be...proper type system in GDScript? A consulting arm to help develop games in the first place, including an art team? I'm not sure.

BackAt50Ft-KyleTheCoder @backat50ft.bsky.social · 2h

I can guess what I want, and I can guess what is likely, but not both. What I want? I want to have something like SwiftUI or Dart or React, but in GDScript. I'm working on a plug-in for it already, but don't expect that's anything you're considering.

Behavior trees are incredible. Just whipped up my own and I'm really enjoying using it. There's something very relaxing about not writing much code, just putting the logic of what you want into the Godot scene tree and letting it just run.

I should be studying for an interview I have coming up, but just had a few realizations about state machines in game dev and now I'm flying through a platformer implementation using my own "state charts" library that is much cleaner than others currently out there.

I just realized what Hegseth was really saying: he wants to be attracted to men in the military again, and maybe they can make a Hot Generals calendar to raise some money for the government.

BackAt50Ft-KyleTheCoder @backat50ft.bsky.social · 14d

Not to mention a massive loss of money very regularly for no substantial benefit, even if it in some way makes a person "happy".

Watched an episode of Doctor Odyssey where it's got "wellness influencers" and they actually showed real problems with the stuff these charlatans are pedaling. It was almost too real when I saw an acupuncturist rupture a lung by going in through the shoulder too far. What's the harm? So much.

Control focus decoupling for keyboards and the new drag-and-drop functionality in the editor, to name two.

BackAt50Ft-KyleTheCoder @backat50ft.bsky.social · 14d

Ha. This is immediately after 4.5 full release and already has changes I desperately want. Guess I'm going back to dev builds for now!

Godot Engine @godotengine.org · 15d

Our first development snapshot for #GodotEngine 4.6 has arrived!

As the feature freeze thaws away, so begins a small trickle of QOL and enhancements; a mere sample of the incoming torrent of changes 4.6 is sure to see

…200 PRs is small, right?

The surest way to infuriate a driver in the DMV is to simply follow the traffic laws. Nothing will send them into a towering rage faster than not turning right on red when there's a sign that says, "No turn on red."

BackAt50Ft-KyleTheCoder @backat50ft.bsky.social · 18d

I didn't like the original, tbh. It felt flashier more than substantive.

BackAt50Ft-KyleTheCoder @backat50ft.bsky.social · 19d

Completely agreed! @somepx.com is an incredible producer, very lucky to work with him and to see how it's done.

Nathan Ranney @ratcasket.itch.io · 19d

Every producer I've ever worked with is an absolute hero. I was a producer for a while, and it is like juggling chainsaws blindfolded upside down and you don't have arms.

Erik Robson @erikrobson.net · 20d

The job of being a game Producer, a GOOD Producer, looks very difficult to me.

You have to make room for several contradictory things all to be true at the same time:

I like adding "soaking wet" to phrases to make them nonsensical. "I'm 6'4 soaking wet." "I have 20 years of experience soaking wet." "I have two cats soaking wet."

Apparently getting 10 positive reviews is very difficult on Steam. 😅

Uhh, Kripparian is playing the game. I'm excited to see the stream! Wish I could watch it now, but can't, dangit!

My favorite part of the show Crash Landing on You is the fact that the two main actors, Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, actually got married after the show ended. I love that, and the show is awesome, too.

Oh gosh, game is live. Anyone have a spare pair of underwear they can email me? 🤣

Questions for the game devs on Steam:
What kind of feedback do you get from the system in regards to operating system?
Do you get a ping for whether the customer is on Linux, Mac or Windows?
Does it count it differently or as one between Linux and Steamdeck?
