I'm a web developer but I make Godot games on the side.
I hope to one day create a cooperative game studio/tech company.
Follow me if you're interested in Godot and how to make the world a better place.

This is a great primer video going over what a cooperative economy could look like.
NEW: Behind Italy’s beauty (and parmesan) is a radical tradition of cooperatives.
In some areas, they make up nearly a fifth of the GDP.

With the new Avatar movie coming out soon, I wanted to share my favorite video about the missed opportunities of the Avatar series from an indigenous perspective.
It's very important for allies of minority groups to include them whenever possible in media about them.

I can't provide further details due to NDAs, but have just been given the green light to confirm Godot runs on Steam Frame. There will be a PR soon to address controller support, hopefully in time for 4.6, but in the mean time Frame works with the touch profile.

This has been a great year for the engine, but there are still a lot of things we would love to do.
If each person visiting our website donated €5, we could hire 5 more developers to work on Godot full-time.

I like some stuff in Star Wars but there are better rebellion/revolution stories imo like One Piece.
Does anyone know of a series that's like One Piece but in a fantastical space setting?
I need to research for a game setting I'm working on. Bonus points if it's got space magic or space cowboys!
