I create games, music, and sometimes even visuals.  From time to time I participate in game jams. You can also find me here: https://substain.itch.io/ @substain@mastodon.gamedev.place

Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers.

If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of:

Godot's GitHub has increasingly many pull requests generated by LLMs and it's a MASSIVE time waster for reviewers – especially if people don't disclose it. Changes often make no sense, descriptions are extremely verbose, users don't understand their own changes… It's a total shitshow. #godotengine

Die Kritik an #Discord wird scheinbar immer größer. Gibt es bereits auf anderen Plattformen eine geeignete #Godot #Community oder das Interesse an einer? Ich bin auf #fluxer #root und #roomy gestoßen und denke, dass alle vielversprechend aussehen. Gibt es Meinungen dazu?

Did you know you could find local discord servers and meetups on godotengine.org/community/us... ?

I really really really recommend joining (or making) one!!

The UI of the Presentation Generator in TalkieTalkie

The UI of the Presentation Generator in TalkieTalkie

Finally made the step to bring #TalkieTalkie to the Asset Library 🥳

Now that this is a Godot addon, you can make Presentations the hard way easier than ever

I've also added a Presentation Generator to make it easier to get started.

Hey, you, come here!

I have a new batch of [Rhythm Game] for you!
Shipped right from Github Gameoff2025.

It's so fresh, most of the levels aren't even implemented yet.
Just have a look:

Just make sure to develop games with those names as well.

Problem solved

I should have expected as much, given how open and welcoming the Godot community is, but #GodotFest still managed to blow me away!
So many incredibly talented people, and they're all friendly 🤯
Was a pleasure meeting you all 🫶

See you at #GodotCamp in Karlsruhe ;)

I've received some amazing feedback on TalkieTalkie.

One of the more unexpected realizations was how many people would appreciate localization for their presentations. When I implemented this, I thought it would be a nice to have thing, but now I guess I should improve the workflow for this

#GodotFest is great! So many cool people to talk to!

I guess showcasing the presentation tool #madewithgodot will have to wait until tomorrow

For years I have heard people saying "You need an elevator pitch". At #GodotFest, the hypothetical scenario finally actually happened: A game dev in the hotel elevator actually asked me what sort of game I was working on and I managed to explain it before they left the elevator at the next floor.

Anyone else going to GodotFest in two days? Know of any after-hours or unofficial meetups? #gamedev #godot #godotfest

Yeah, that sounds feasible

That would have been nice!
To be fair, the project still needs a bit more testing.
I've planned to add some updates to this and upload it to the asset library, but did not find the time yet

What better way to celebrate the upcoming season than with a themed game jam featuring pumpkins, candles, and

wait is that a pentagram?

working on the slideshow framework for #Godot again.

I want to keep it simple and accessible, but for a meaningful architecture, I find myself introducing complexity again and again...

Right now, presentations are created in the Godot editor, so the concept probably involves some unnecessary overhead. But there are so many cool things that could be done!
Currently the most "out of place" feature is translating the presentation, but I can think of more interesting things

Can we use #Godot as a tool for presentations?
This question has been asked and answered before, but the only project I found was for 3.x

So naturally, I started building something myself:
