Solo indie game developer, using Godot 4 and C#. I like birds, especially corvids.
Reminds me of classic Commodore 64 Jumpman or Lode Runner.

Haha I was gonna say... maybe post a link to a comparison somewhere that's not gonna do that?

He's in the US, hiding in the White House.

I've heard 3rd graders who speak more eloquently than Trump. The "literati" have nothing in common with him, except the bigots.

In Farthest Frontier, I had to choose a village starting site and then there's a popup: NOT ENOUGH HOUSING!!! Oh my gosh, okay let me build houses. Nope, you need the city center. Okay where's that? Oh, they're already building that I guess? Very confusing. Terrible on-boarding.

Now let's improve that shelter, maybe build a cabin. Next maybe make some hunting tools. Expand the options & add variables slowly so the player can learn & master each one. Huge menu trees are overwhelming & unnecessary; fill them in later instead of showing actions they won't do for game-years.

You need to ease people into it. Start with 1-3 villagers with just a few basic resources, then give them a very small handful of options to proceed. Make a lean-to. Build a fire. Harvest some fruit. Okay, good work, you have met your basic survival needs.

These are gorgeous, thank you! I love the luna moth (?) card back.

Nothing goes in the butt slot, it's output only!

C# is perfectly fine for Godot, it's what I use and a lot of people use. I don't like meaningful whitespace, for control flow. I think it's ugly and gross. I really like C#, I enjoy programming in it. It's powerful and readable, and Visual Studio does a lot of the heavy lifting with Intellisense.

Yeah one of my biggest complaints about Godot. If they integrated Margin/Center/Padding into the containers, it would drastically cut down the number of containers I need.

Citing the entire cost of the VA program is needless and disingenuous at best. Conspiracy theorists will falsely infer that there is $193 billion worth of false claims. This is yellow journalism.

Some restaurants are corporate-owned, some are franchises owned by independents. Corporate prices are standardized, but franchises can set their own prices.
