1X111 by @abagames.bsky.social
one of the classic japanese game hobbiests, Kenta Cho recently tied together 111 of his single-button games into an old-school wario-ware you can play on your phone (he's been making tiny free games since the 80s)

Beneath dark towering pine trees, a graceful, glowing white dragon sits upon moonlit castle ruins. The reflection in the lake shows an enormous gothic castle.

I LOVE the art style, aesthetic is immaculate

Awesome! Thank you!

Are you using gdscript in vscode? If so, can I ask what the pros and cons are as compared to using the built-in editor?

Awesome UI enhancement to see!

If you haven't seen #godot 4.5 is adding FoldableContainers!!
Absolutely amazing. The Documentation is a little brief, but with some tinkering you can achieve some cool things.

Here's a video of my latest prototype utilizing them.

I would argue against a lack of violence!

I mean it’s objectively pretty funny to get a promo email for the character I wrote the day I’m let go

Sometime game dev is fun. But sometimes it’s slogging through a big list of boring tasks e.g when localising. However, if I put some good music in and work on it each day I can eventually get it done. So can you!

The mediteranean is a beautiful place to be, i'm sure you can branch out and build a network there as you meet new people.

Ah, thank you. Luckily, I have some cousins and family here, and I am also trying to learn the language. I have found no big box stores. Every store and online shop sells specific things. It might finally break my Amazon reliance, haha.

If I read correctly you semi-recently moved to Europe, right? I am one month in Croatia now moved from America, what was the toughest things to acclimate to? Do you speak the local language?

I re-discovered libraries this year, since then i've been going there weekly!!
Libraries are amazing, my city has a huge network of them and even has the latest video games!!

Been trying to convince my friends to get a card, it's free 🐁🐁

why can't my sober brain come up with this kind of stupid shit?

"Input Prompts" features icons for many input devices including all common consoles, PC and more. Over 800 icons, all completely free (public domain). A new update is coming soon!

Godot Development Fund Join the Development Fund and support the Godot Foundation to work on Godot Engine.

Since I unintentionally started a conversation on open-source funding, please remember to donate to #Godot itself! It is the reason a lot of us are here, how we make cool games, and why I started this project altogether. I love it and it kept me making stuff all these years.

I am still working on my game but have big news! On top of my current position as a game dev instructor, I will also take on a new game dev position to prepare for my move from America to Croatia!

That's also totally an option!

You can always try to port to Godot! I know it isn't an ideal situation, but it is definitely possible and some studios have done it already.

Mentally I'm here, knitting a bunny sweater at the 1987 Winter Consumer Electronics Show, on a Nintendo knitting machine that will never be sold to the public.

Hello!

I've added a Peace Lily! Now to make sure that plants are placed in reasonable positions in different pots...

Orchids come in a variety of colors! This plant comes in one :).

The color palette I am using, for an extra hint!

Bigger pot for bigger plants! Can you guess the first plant I have in mind for this pot? (Hint: the color of the pot is the color of this flower!)

YouTube video by Matthew Gigante PlantSitting test 11/22/24

While you can't see any water yet, the can is filled by using a hand pump, and can water flowers by holding down the mouse with the can equipped. Each "watering tick" will display a water particle system raining down on the plant!
