The best part of #GodotFest was leading people through unfamiliar Munich streets in the dark with nobody really checking if I was getting us lost.

I don't wanna give Deutsche Bahn any ideas, but tbh I'd rather my whole train be cancelled than have literally every toilet on a three hour train be out-of-order!

Highlights from #godotfest let’s fucking goooo
- randomly meeting *some guy* who turned out to be @smitner.studio and absolutely losing it
- a dinner party that just kept growing, like one massive snowball of game devs and godot contributors
- the plant rendering speaker talking about TREE-ometry

What felt like the biggest compliment at #GodotFest was being asked how much I doctor my screenshots :D
I myself think the game looks way better in motion.
My only trick is I made a button/script to pause gameplay without locking the camera. That way I get a janky photo mode, but I don't even use it

What an amazing first day of #GodotFest in Munich - so many interesting talks, so many friendly people. The venue is as good as it gets. The atmosphere is positive & full of energy. And #Godot turns out to be an absolute beast! Inspiring!

Did not post for a long time, have been busy mostly working on gameplay.
So here is a small update on the lighted scene, but it will still be filled with more gameplay content.
Also those are wind-waker lights using Stencil Buffer.

A) When did Flir become Teledyne?
B) Did nobody tell them that "Teledyne Vision Solutions" sounds like the villian megacorp in some dystopian cyberpunk story?

I have this daydream that if I just make the perfect LinkedIn post, I can show that I know (enough) what I'm doing that I should get a Rust job writing performance-critical code but no matter how I try to think about it... that just feels like such a foolish imagination

I made a Jezzball clone for #LD58, but people kept saying it reminded them of a game call Qix, and although I've never heard of it, it looks really fun. Now I kinda wanna make it into a Qix-clone instead!

I obviously understand the reason for spammers to put you on their mailing list... but why are spammers putting themselves on mine? Is there some sort of vuln or angle I'm not seeing?

The fact it took Merz so long to figure out how to spin the Stadtbild comments should be a sign in itself that he meant what we know he meant and it took the entire party days to see any other way of looking at it.
