Today I learned there was not one but FIVE Scorpion King movies.

I guess I just need someone to share this burden with me.

Make sure you block both windows.

It's not valid unless you use double blinds.

I really wish they didn't double the volume on uploads here. The game isn't as deafening as Bluesky would have you believe.

I realised the boat could become unreachable if only the penguin was launched back. Only one possible solution.

How viable is meshy Ai for prototyping game assets quickly?

Iโ€™m working on a solo dev project and looking for ways to speed up asset creation. I've seen Meshy Ai, which claims to generate textured and animatable models from text or concept art in seconds.

Has anyone integrated this into their game dev pipeline? Did it actually save time, or did the models require major cleanup before they were usable? Would love to hear pros or cons from anyone whoโ€™s tested it in a production or prototyping environment.

I wish the villains were at least competent. This is just insulting.

Reminder that I hire real artists for all the pretty stuff and will probably need a Kickstarter to cross the finish line.

So anyone want to come see the indie game we're making?

We got tanlines.

Other brands use string cheese in their cables. Not us. Full metal.

I've had a few requests for reflective water, but I prefer it clean and simple.

What's your vote?

Were you getting bored of my three trees and the ground plane? No problem as I've finally managed to get Makena's room into the engine.
Hope you like the comfy atmosphere. Surely nothing bad will happen.
Also flowy dithered curtains hello?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but @passivestar.bsky.social is the biggest Godot-user account on Bluesky, right?

Realized I'm on trajectory to surpass that soon, so follow @passivestar.bsky.social for more on #godot, #blender and 3D #gamedev.

I haven't, but I've been thinking about this for a while. EA might be a better fit since it's a sandbox and I was always going to keep working on it after release.

It's not looking good for the KS. I appreciate the people who have followed, but the numbers just aren't there. No great surprise since I'm an unknown.

Anyway... the penguin will return in Early Access!

I've got a spare code if anyone wants it. Relaxation is more important than ever.

Itโ€™s been a long road and there is still more to go! Very cool to be in Early Access on Epic Games! It was easier than I thought it would be. I look forward to releasing more! Gamedev

Netflix series where Coldplay travels through time exposing various high ranking affairs. The theme song would, of course, be their only good song: Clocks.
