Godot being Open Source is empowering for game studios, but there are nuances. Thread 🧵👇🏼 #godotengine

I just helped pinpoint an editor bug using the excellent "Godot Editor Debugger" plugin. It shows all the live Godot editor nodes & lets me inspect and modify them – all in real time 🫣🫣🫣 also great for when you want to mod the editor with a plugin. https://github.com/Zylann/godot_editor_debugger_plugin #godotengine

I spend a LOT of time reviewing pull requests for the Godot game engine as a usability contributor. It is very satisfying to see how my reviews move features and improvements forward. 🙏🏼 Here's a thread with everything I reviewed & contributed to just over the last 2 days 🧵👇🏼 #godotengine

Feels good to save €2k per year for software I only use once per year just for maintenance! I might have to do a bit of an update marathon though 😅

I love Godot’s GDScript. Thoughts 🧵👇🏼 Rift Riff and Hidden Folks 2 use it. Most professional game devs making games in Godot I know love it - often after trying C# thinking it would ease the transition from Unity. Instead, they love the ease and speed of GDScript more than their habits from C#.

ICYMI i made docontract.com - a plain english agreement generator for and between game devs. i’ve used it for nearly all agreements since 2015: for Hidden Folks, wurdweb, Rift Riff, etc make sure to read the FAQ at the bottom of the page! i’m not a lawyer, but that doesn’t mean ‘no bueno’ https://docontract.com

absolute classic gets a sequel made in godot! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

game design is old and boring; play and playfulness is where it’s at.

ICYMI: I made a Godot plugin for setting default texture pivots. Especially useful for games that rely on y-sorting. #godotengine https://store.godotengine.org/asset/adriaan/sprite-offset-tools/

Played Big Walk with the Hidden Folks team today and it was excellent!! @househouse.com known what they're doing <3 The lengths we'd go to keep the radio with music with us so we could regularly pause and dance 😂 It's playfulness I wish every game would facilitate.

"people first, games second" that's one of the core values of our studio. as part of that, I have 1-on-1 meetings with every team member every 4 weeks: a 1h (structured) convo for all and any thoughts and feedback. it's been so insightful, so humanizing, so complex, and just generally so good. 🧵👇🏼

email from Google urging me to ‘optimize my pricing strategy’ and try their latest price tag: $0,05 wtf?! am i just completely out of touch with reality? i know ‘local purchasing power’ is a legit reasons for low pricing, but in what world could this math ever check out?!

Fogpiercer – another high-profile Godot game – just released! with some of the slickest UI I've seen in a Godot game so far. look forward to playing it! #godotengine [contains quote post or other embedded content]

it is difficult to be a caretaker and entrepreneur. i do it because it’s all i know how to do. because it’s the only way i know forward. because the alternative, giving up, is devastating. there’s periods of pure surviving, and there’s slightly better days, but it’s never the freedom from before.

bsky for game devs; best treat it for what it is: - 90% entertainment - 9% a pat on your back (if you post) - 1% informative, at most - 0% marketing for your games

most game business chat happens in private online groups. studio directors need a safe space to discuss money, employment, partners, and other internals. safe from drive-by rando’s with unnuanced and uninformed opinions, and safe from public judgement. CEO’s need to ask dumb questions sometimes!
