#func_godot 2025.8 for @godotengine.org is OUT!

@sine.fyi and I have been working on this for the past few months. While we didn't resolve everything we wanted to, we felt it was strong and stable enough for release.

I'm really proud of what we pulled off on this one.

It's a proud Mama day.

My middle child received his Peabody Award today.
These are one of the most prestigious awards in the media industry, and my kid won one!

For my gamer friends, this is for his work on 1000XResist.

@vangamegarden.bsky.social and @fullindie.bsky.social in second half of September, then XP Indie Biz first weekend of October.
I'm grateful for the events, but geez 😩 Vancouver needs to spread them out a bit more during the year.

canadian friends, this proposed budget is DOGSHIT. make sure you fill this out, doesn't take long. make very good use of the "other" field in each section. i used it to suggest they tax the ultrawealthy out of existence and then included my actual budget wishlist #ElbowsUp

I got Ubuntu with X11. Trying to setup Sunshine and while it does connect/stream the desktop, it never boots the apps as expected. Having a hard time finding more/better info as to how to setup up apps / games.

Hey players, whats the best way to stream games from a linux laptop to a Steam Deck? (ideally Steam based, but open for anything).

Steam game streaming works input-wise, but video starts to just lag/freeze after a few minutes of playing.

I'm Morghan, I lived every animation fan’s dream, then it became a nightmare.
Disney underpaid me.
Nickelodeon abused me until I quit.
Titmouse didn't pay me for my internship.
I worked on SpongeBob, Big City Greens, Ducktales, etc & now I'm $20K in debt. I need help: gofund.me/e5fc021d

Haha 😅😇 I'm considering doing a write-up or blog post-in the future, but always happy to chat about it.

Yeeee, but it led me to explore more self hosting and open/decentralized alternatives and that has been really empowering, not as hard as I thought and a lot of fun. There's glimmers of hope scattered in the black. It'll never be complete darkness.

So apparently, it may turn out that The Wizard of Oz at the Las Vegas Sphere wasn’t entirely made in AI and Google threw the VFX crew under the bus by claiming it was all done by artificial intelligence.

If true, then fucking yikes.

If IGN has layoffs, nobody in games press is safe. If Microsoft has layoffs, nobody in platforms is safe. If Ubisoft and Bungie and NetEase have layoffs, nobody in game development is safe. If the Romeros get their funding pulled, no studio is safe.

It's rough out there, right now.

I discovered and watched the first episode of Downtown (1999) yesterday and it's great so far. The VAs / writing come off so natural and effortless, which is so unique to animation and TV in general. Excited to watch more.

2.1 Lenses, Not Boxes I wondered whether this section was necessary, but games discourse seems to repeatedly find itself adrift in questions of whether _ counts as a _. We have seen the question repeatedly: Do games count as art? Do games without goals count as games? Is The Sims a game? Are hypertexts interactive fiction? Are Twine pieces literature? In fairness to the researchers cited here, all of whom I respect immensely, many of these sources pose or imply the question rhetorically. Still, the necessity of such a framing frustrates me. "Is _ a _?" is, in my opinion, a fruitless question. The question can never be answered to anyone's satisfaction, and it often serves as either a provocation to espouse politics or as a cover to institute gatekeeping. Its agenda is usually opaque to onlookers and bewildering to those trying to advance the field from across disciplines. We should be thinking in lenses, not boxes. It is always more interesting to ask "If we think of _ through the lens of _, what do we learn?" We know it is more interesting to ask "What do we learn by considering Tom Stoppard through the lens of poststructuralism?" than to ask "Is Stoppard's work poststructuralist?" And while some works may be more or less fruitful when examined through different lenses, sometimes the most unlikely pairings of lenses and objects are the most rewarding. Certainly any of the questions above would be much better served by reframing them in this way.

Wow we’re having “games are art” discourse again! Just gonna leave this here.

From my dissertation:

That's how they market it in Canada.

Oh yeah, this + Killer7 + Okami was Capcom cooking at the highest level.

This is a weak, pathetic statement. No mention of retaliation. No mention of undoing our generous one-sided gift of canceling the digital tax. No mention of mending the rift with China we created on command of the US to help our economy. We're just taking a beating and promising to grovel better.

Hey! I'm helping to build an interactive installation that will feature an archive of trans/gnc writing, art, audio and interactive media. It's called Transcendent Archives and you can find out more from the images below or at the following link. docs.google.com/document/u/0...

Hey #gamedev friends, I'm looking for Community Managers and/or marketing experts based in Canada. Please share and send me a DM!

I agree with this, probably a pre-supplied template project, and then the exported/saved tscn gets parsed into Frostbite.
Another possibility: this is early internal testing and they'll turn it into a web-based tool (powered by Godot), letting users make levels and modes in their web browser.

Thinking about this a bit more, there's another possibility: these might be their internal tests in Godot - and once they finalize the fidelity and tooling, why not just turn this into a web-based tool (powered by Godot). So users are able to just make levels and modes in their web browser.

Comparing BF6 to #Cogito, lol.

With the BF6 level editor being Godot Engine, why not use #Cogito to practice making levels for BF6?

Our fully featured template - free on GitHub and the Godot Asset Store: github.com/Phazorknight...

My guess: either a fork - or even just a simple stand-alone godot project.

Then users can save/export the modified level scene and that file gets parsed into BF6 main game.

I think plugin would make things unnecessary complicated for UGC purposes

-> Level scene in the root dir.

The pro game devs really are just like us.

Can't wait till we have "Gaming Youtubers" saying that "BF6 runs on Godot" (to be fair, the article doesn't say this either, but a lot of people might misunderstand this.)

Still very cool to see Godot used as a tool for games and platforms! Reminds me how Hammer etc. got people into game dev.
