Godot 4.6 dev 3 completely overhauls SSR and the impact it's had on the overall visuals in the engine is insane.
This is one of the biggest leaps forward the engine has taken visually in a while!

Sitting on two BANGER video game ideas... both heavily systems driven with main appeal being how deep those get the longer you play.
Scope creep trap 101.
Really need to brainstorm some smaller ideas for quick 30 minute experiences I can actually ship with 6 months of work. 🤣

Old Soviet joke for today:
A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.
After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”
“I’m looking for the obituaries.”
“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”
“Not the one I’m looking for.”

You don’t need Kubernetes. You don’t need microservices. You don’t need 6 layers of abstraction. What most teams need is a monolith, basic CI, and a reminder that users don’t care about your infra.

There is a special place in hell for developers who start their game with an unskippable/important cutscene before I've got the chance to adjust my volume and resolution settings 😤

You know that Unreal Engine is capable of Forward+ rendering with MSAA right? You can just do that.
It's not an engine problem. Unreal isn't perfect but running dynamic deferred lighting and TAA is a choice. Sometimes a valid one.

Whenever the media or transphobes talk about mental health and suicide rates of trans kids, they are always deliberately concealing the fact that trans healthcare brings trans kids to the same place as cis kids on these things

Seeing a lot of gamedev advice about how to operate cheaply and
seriously have you considered marrying someone who arts (or codes if you're the artist)
I'm being 100% serious, left/right brain 2 person teams are hugely OP in micro indie terms
"But we need a bigger team" have you considered Poly

Oh hey, my shadow caster mask contribution made it into Godot 4.4.
It should help a lot when you have dynamic lights that you don't want to bleed through walls but don't need them casting more complex shadows!

Art Pipeline Epiphany:
Bake the curvature map for a HotspotUV trimsheet and combine that with a triplanar shader that uses it for edge highlights and you end up with HotspotUV functionality for any tiling texture allowing for super fast variations.
