2 week progress update:
I've managed to put together a dialogue system, Visual inventory, clock to display time og day, day counter and finally an animated player character. I've briefly started on the first NPC and a journal system.

I've been absent for a while, oops 😅

I can probably use this approach in my game now for extra practice, switching between the journal system and pause menu, inventory and chat boxes, and then drag all of them into the main level scene? Might be slightly less optimised than one big UI tree, but more small scale and beginner friendly?

i came to Godot from Unreal Engine, and i plan to stay on Godot for a long time!
Unreal Engine is big and heavy and for me as a solo dev quite annoying. Due to me studying front-end i wanna write actual code and not use blueprints aswell to broaden my experience.
So i plan to stay on Godot :D

Reading up on this now, absolutely goated advice! Thank you so much!!!

#Godot UI is a really confusing thing to learn, but i feel i am slowly piecing it together. Learning about themes is very useful but if anyone has Godot UI tips, please share 🙏

Oslo-based RedThreadGames is hiring a systems designer experienced with Unreal Engine.

I've been gone for a while now, TLDR it turns out OSRS is hella fun 😅

Thats because of the region. In the OBS scene select the capture device (game, screen etc) and right click inside the red box in the recording preview, select transform -> fit to screen. That will fix it automatically.
For manual fix drag the red box so it covers the entire screen.

Looks wonderful!

I second this, OBS is amazing and is easy to set up. I too don't know about Bluesky compression but i am fairly certain the quality will be better than gifs.

Godot has become a viable game engine

Blender has become a viable 3D modelling AND animation tool

SteamDeck is now a fantastic "mobile" Desktop platform

AAA is shrinking / abandoning territory, ceding more genres to indie

Basically, (funding sitch aside) indie gamedev is seriously looking up!

My *planned* project has been cancelled due to being grouped with another classmate, and we both agreed to work on her game idea as we had similar ideas, but hers was a little more interesting. Will show updates as they come!

The joy of successfully creating an pop up overlay when you hit escape and a functioning quit game button. Small first step towards building my game in Godot.

I lied about working in Unity. I started, but switched over to Godot last week, and i feel its going better.
I absolutely love the engine!

Currently struggling a little with the Pixel art process of making the first character. But i am absolutely loving Aseprite and its such a great program to work in!

I will be making a game in Unity and it will be a 2D pixel art project. Hope to share results weekly here soon!

I've officially started a new project. I will be working solo and doing everything from scratch, and this game is also a uni assignment with a 3 month deadline. Wish me luck!

Are you a game developer? Try these 4 fun exercises! Forward Lean (picture of a man leaning forward in his desk chair somewhat depressingly) Backwards Lean (picture of a man absolutely and completely deflated in his desk chair) Knees-to-Chest Stretch (picture of a man in the fetal position with tears welling up in his eyes) Egg Rolls (picture of a man lying on his side, clutching himself, sobbing, and a small puddle of tears forming)

Here's an exercise routine that I recommend to game developers in 2025. Stay healthy 💪

#gamedev

Fake website servic welcome page. text reads: "Your favorite tool is now ruined by AI" "you might not like it but shareholders love it"

when you open a service you've been using for a decade only to find it out it caught the virus

I love it when i spend the better half of an hour troubleshooting two very small issues, end up rewriting the entire code to something worse, reorder it back to the original only to realise i forgot a <, - or + symbol 🥲

The biggest conundrum i am facing is do i wanna work on my game project now or do i wanna play games :D

Game idea is settled and the GDD has been laid out, it needs to be filled out more later, but its almost time to start prototyping!

Instant wishlist from me

This looks freaking insane!!

Hell yes!!!!!

Inexperienced devs: "I spent a whole month just to make this thing :("
Nah, mate, you spent a month becoming a dev who's now able to make that thing! :)

Trying to learn the rules of blueprints in Unreal Engine is not the same as i thought it would be to learn conventional programming languages.
I thought having done some C# and JS would prepare me a little more than this.

Starting my first game project tomorrow. Ive finally gotten over the exam season and i'm ready to tackle this!

Deep inside a forest, a female knight in silver armour perches on the edge of a rocky ourcrop. At her feet, a golden mermaid raises up from a stream, placing her hand on the knight's and staring adoringly up at her.

Brief respite ✨️
