I think mine is now in working order. It has a very simple way of pulling "valid" strings into a registry that is designed to be customizable as-needed. #GodotEngine #GameDev20 Aug 2026 19:11 +0000at://did:plc:3xhellick63rr7v57ict6dgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtjx6ptn5c27https://bsky.app/profile/keithjones.bsky.social/post/3mti5dzv3vc2f@mumpitzgames.com Sir, We Have an Orc Problem is a lot of fun and another major hit for #Godot this year. (I also really liked their Tiny Auto Knights, released last year, but SWOP ismore my groove.) Congrats to them! If you're curious, they have an excellent writeup in /r/gamedev20 Aug 2026 01:56 +0000at://did:plc:3xhellick63rr7v57ict6dgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mti5dzv3vc2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/keithjones.bsky.social/post/3mti4dzx7422fSpent a chunk of time today making a #GodotEngine editor plugin to provide a dropdown for registered Strings/StringNames in the inspector, along with a little verification check mark for strings that are registered. Both for convenience and to help avoid typos. #GameDev20 Aug 2026 01:38 +0000at://did:plc:3xhellick63rr7v57ict6dgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mti4dzx7422fhttps://bsky.app/profile/keithjones.bsky.social/post/3mti422ong22fI've never really done #pixelart before but I really like how this #bear came out! I also really like this character sprite sheet.

Aside from maybe historical /avoiding breaking engine changes somehow? Like, is there a use? #GodotEngine13 Aug 2026 13:55 +0000at://did:plc:3xhellick63rr7v57ict6dgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3msxsamjjjc2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/keithjones.bsky.social/post/3msh5fcpolc25Mood Indigo taught me how a Trombone can sing.06 Aug 2026 22:59 +0000at://did:plc:3xhellick63rr7v57ict6dgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3msh5fcpolc25https://bsky.app/profile/keithjones.bsky.social/post/3msg6pylu3224Am I the only one who hates dragging from one side of the screen to the other? I don't think I love this setup, but @export is too nice and I do hate dragging across the screen that much. #Godot #GodotEngine06 Aug 2026 13:50 +0000at://did:plc:3xhellick63rr7v57ict6dgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3msg6pylu3224https://bsky.app/profile/keithjones.bsky.social/post/3msg3qqm5ik22Testing a simple string-pulling algorithm with the #Godot built-in AStarGrid2D navigation in my psuedo- #roguelike. AStarGrid is so handy, but its movement can look janky. So we straighten where we can. Still need to include terrain cost. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames06 Aug 2026 12:57 +0000at://did:plc:3xhellick63rr7v57ict6dgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3msg3qqm5ik22https://bsky.app/profile/keithjones.bsky.social/post/3ms4eyi5j5k2sChia seeds are just poppy seeds with ectoplasm.02 Aug 2026 16:16 +0000at://did:plc:3xhellick63rr7v57ict6dgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3ms4eyi5j5k2shttps://bsky.app/profile/keithjones.bsky.social/post/3ms47vmi63c2s#GDScript Tip: Simple way to check you typed the right variable or function name: - Ctrl + Mouse Hover underlines every instance of that name, but only if it's defined. If it doesn't exist, it won't be underlined. - Just hovering also opens a tool tip, if its defined. #GodotTips #Godot02 Aug 2026 14:44 +0000at://did:plc:3xhellick63rr7v57ict6dgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3ms47vmi63c2shttps://bsky.app/profile/keithjones.bsky.social/post/3ms2dt6gjpc2aFinally... *caved* and got @cavesofqud.com. Very impressed with the pairing of a modern and thoughtful gameplay experience/feel with traditional #roguelike aesthetics. Dutifully got my first permadeath just after the tutorial finished. #IndieGames #LiveAndDrink01 Aug 2026 20:49 +0000at://did:plc:3xhellick63rr7v57ict6dgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3ms2dt6gjpc2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/keithjones.bsky.social/post/3mrvm2gdnjs24The start of my bleak #roguelike #basebuilder Cower Fantasy, where you are not a hero. Has a sine curve creek. I darkened the terrain so the characters will stand out. The little pink thing is a rapossum, half rat half possum. Got navigation set up so marauders chase you. #Godot #Indiedev #gamedev30 Jul 2026 23:33 +0000at://did:plc:3xhellick63rr7v57ict6dgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrvm2gdnjs24https://bsky.app/profile/keithjones.bsky.social/post/3mruzadptxc27UK's Eins, Zwei, Drei by Look Mum No Computer, an ode to the joys of counting in German with a side of pepperoni pizza, is among the most underrated songs of this year's competition. https://youtu.be/niMKvJ-Itq8?si=LUjygzQp_thu2hno I hear even UK hated it, but I think it's lovely.30 Jul 2026 17:57 +0000at://did:plc:3xhellick63rr7v57ict6dgn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mruzadptxc27
