@gitkraken.com Just need to ask, are you ever going to support "on prem Azure DevOps"? Been meaning to switch to GitKraken but the on prem server solution has been an open feature request for years.

This year must be remembered in the history books as a golden year for gaming, and it's not even over yet.
Silksong, Expedition 33, Doom the dark ages, Kingdom Come 2, Mario Kart World and the list goes on. We still have Ghost of Yotei and a PokΓ©mon game in October.

So. How's everyone enjoying the new 4.5 release of #godot?
I've encountered some changes that will need adjusting, but overall I'm loving the new embedded game window on MacOS.
Thanks for the hard work @godotengine.org you guys are awesome!

Been reading about the discourse regarding #silksong and the 20$ price tag. It reminded me of #animalwell which released for 25$. If you had 7 years of development for your game, what would you price it?

Anyone here who have tried the Godot 4.5 RC1? How's it looking?
I'm itching for the embedded game window in MacOS.

Waking up to pounding rain on my bedroom window today. Looking out and the sky is gray and the trees all around have started turning yellow and orange.
Autumn is here now. πŸ‚πŸ
Perfect time for some cozy gaming under a blanket. β˜•οΈ

Super early look at Kenney Creator, my new modeling software for indies. It'll feature many blocks and tools to create any sort of model - aiming for a Q1 2026 release! ✨

30 degrees Celsius by the way. That would be 85 freedom units.

What a wonderful day for sitting infront of the computer all day. The sun is shining and it's nearly 30 degrees outside.

With just a few hours left on the Steam summer sale, what are some gems that you guys picked up?
I snagged Tunic as it was pretty heavily discounted and I love the artwork!

Splicer on Steam Blast enemies, get ship upgrades and defeat bosses in this arcade inspired space bullet hell

My steampage for "Splicer" is now live! Feels surreal tbh.
If you like 80's arcade bullet hells then give it a whishlist!

It's the circle of gamedev. A vicious cycle of self loathing and euphoria.

I'm constantly in this spiral of self doubt, going from being really proud of some artwork or mechanic I've created. To doubting myself and questioning why I'm even bothering making a game.
It's a struggle but you just gotta push through.

What's everyone playing this weekend?
I'm currently going through Links Awakening on the Switch 2 as I missed it when it came out. Loving it so far!

Gonna make some changes to the capsule image. Might @ you when I've updated it to get some feedback if that's okay? :)

Dude, this is super useful. Much appreciated!
If you don't mind me asking, what would you change in order to make it more enticing?

Where's the #artists or #art Bluesky when you need them?

Calling upon the artists of Bluesky!
Would this work as capsule art for my game?
Personally I think it's meh, but what do you guys think?

One of the platforms I'm testing my game on is the Steamdeck. It's really good for quickly testing controls and getting a feel for how the game will get played.
Anyone deploying their game to the Steamdeck?
