In March 14th of this year I submitted my entry for Acerola's game jam #acerolajam and I should share it here now!
Meet the gravitako! A truly zero-gravity platformer with a main character vaguely (?) inspired by the takodachi #inART and made in @godotengine.org

Before that Nintendo Partner Showcase I want to send out my prayer to the world: a modern Sonic Adventure 2 Battle port for Switch 2, steam and other consoles, with graphics, audio and subs fixed, selectable models, audio and subs.
No HD remake, just a port with fixes.

my beloved gravitako by my beloved umbra, thank you so much!

I've been trying to streamline the design of my beloved gravitako, but I'm struggling to land on something that I like hahaha
let's see where the experimentation takes me...

Managed to turn in a submission for GMTK's 2025 game jam, come check it out!
It's called The World Revolving and it honestly is more about visual spectacle, but I hope you enjoy it!

Accessibility is important, so I made a disclaimer to add to your games if need be.

NEW DESIGN DOC RIGHT NOW! There are a lot of bad slow bosses in games. They have to BE slow while still fighting the FEELING of slowness, and that's pretty tricky to do. Let's talk about how to fix a slow boss!

Godot 4.4 beta 1 is finally here! This release had tons of editor quality of life features as well as performance improvements, we know you are going to love it. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, we added embedded game debugging inside the editor! #godotengine

I love how small details (adding a couple of craters and a picture of the earth) make the atmosphere come together quite nicely
