AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds The AI industry's claims about AI coding assistants boosting productivity significantly appear to be massively overblown, per a new report.

“In a new report, management consultants Bain & Company found that despite being ‘one of the first areas to deploy generative AI,’ the ‘savings have been unremarkable’ in programming.”

Felix and I could finally release our little retro-shooter slash story-game "I Made A Game For You"! The whole thing was initiated by gold extras' BRIEFS program.

Many people form unhealthy parasocial relationships to companies and it's so sad and pathetic. Consumerism kills your soul.

Our 2025 series is out now!

The CHEESE is here with three games by talented developers.
The cheesy, the cheesying, the cheese-able all playable for free here:

You wanted shorter artsier games? You'd better pick the bundle up!

YouTube video by Rat King Entertainment Screenshot Saturday: Endless Walls

To prototype quicker, @ratking@mstdn.io created a little script in Godot to automatically add walls. Coincidentally, it created an interesting endless wall look, reminding of Ultima Underworld 1.

I just learned of the existence of Petscop from this post. Not sure I want to investigate further

just randomly set to 10 tile heights, so 40m

Created a little GDScript that automatically generates high walls around floor tiles, somehow it became an Ultima Underworld 1 level creator this way. #gamedev #Godot

I remember some news a few years back where a guy got his game from Steam removed because of "death threats" towards Gaben <_<

Let's meet the games you'll get to play ON FRIDAY!

First from @ratrogue.bsky.social

"I Made A Game For You is a game where you play a game while talking to your dad who made the game."

Preparing the release of a little game I made together with a pixel artist. #madewithgodot #screenshotsaturday

Our 2025 series drops next Friday on 26th!

Another message from our DUNGEON MASTER: We are looking for a publisher - let it be known and spread the word. And tell others! We have the mystery smell!

I'm off to #gamescom2025 soon! Can't wait to show MOPS & MOBS around! Most of the time, you might find me at the

This is disappointing. I mean, Kevin MacLeod owes nobody anything, he has given generously by releasing his compositions under permissive licenses. But just quietly pivoting to AI-generated music is weird as hell.

Cosy dungeon vibes in Mops & Mobs

#madewithgodot #godot #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #godotengine

It’s THIS time of the year: Go to Steam and experience all the games forged in #Germany. We are glad we take part in this tradition. Play 🧹MOPS & MOBS⚔️ - we added cards to our new dungeon novel demo!

Dang, somehow it still doesn't work. The paths are still not being parsed correctly it seems

connected by Rat King dialog editor

The #Linux version of connected (my dialog editor) is now available. Mostly had to update the Roslyn compiler (used for the configurable nodes) and also finally learn how paths on Linux work...

For our dungeon novel @ratrogue.bsky.social added a new feature: You can coincidentally drop in on a very personal dialogue. Like one about desecration of the dead and necromancy💀
