Not a fan of scatological humor. However, I felt like sharing I've just typed `gut push`, which makes a good couple with my classic `git stash poop`. `git lol`.

Proud to be part of this! Hopefully, I've addressed most of your resource duplication headaches. 😃

Light beam shader in godot So I was noclipping through d1_canals_08 in HL2 as one normally does on a saturday night when I saw this: A nice sharp volumetric light that does a lot for the mood of the scene. Half Life 2 was relea...

How to make a light beam shader in godot + download

Holy smokes! I think I know where the Godot console support comes from 😏

The Chasing Carrots devs did an amazing porting work on HoT, which IMO benefited both the game and @w4games.com's middleware which was well tested and improved for everyone.

I am so happy Pablo eventually decided to do the talk. So important to get some Console experience with Godot out!

Audio in Games is so important! Paul shows us how to make music layered and adaptive at @godotfest.bsky.social!

Doing almost all of my tutorial animations and visualizations in Godot now. Once you setup the custom classes and animation logic...putting together fun visuals like the first half here takes minutes AND is tied to actual game data.

My big brother @stormi-v2.bsky.social is about to beat me to releasing a game on Steam(*), despite me being the one working professionally in the game industry 😭

Help me repair this injustice by wishlisting, following and sharing @oremus-the-game.bsky.social!

A beautiful text adventure in 🇬🇧 and 🇫🇷!

In this episode of DF Direct I talk about Microsoft's planned "Advanced Shader Delivery" for Direct X, which as it stands, is currently the PC industry's most realistic chance at eliminating shader compilation stutter for good. Relying on individual devs has proven to be unreliable at best (1/5).

Stick it Up! Stick it Up! is an online tool to know how much to extend your controller's analog stick in order to emulate another's feel.

Do you know about the importance of the thumb-travel range for a controller analog stick?

This new concept will change the way we play games with analog sticks. *I'm dead serious.*

It also opens the way for thumbstick emulation for more accurate retro gaming.

We should do this with many other open source projects and brands 😬

I *hate* movie trailers.

This is the project I've made solo during Slavic Game Jam 2025. Nothing fancy, not even a game, just 5 interactive shaders, to learn how to do custom GLSL shaders in Godot (incl. temporal feedback). Source code included.

Just learned about std::ignore to tell the compiler you're ignoring a return value marked as 'nodiscard' on purpose.

I prefer positive-formulated conditions. E.g., I prefer `if (ptr)` over `if (ptr != null)`, and `if (vec.size())` over `if (!vec.empty())`. The effective double negation of otherwise written expressions stand in the way of readability.

How to speed up random memory accesses | Sebastian Schöner At some point when optimizing software, you are left with a soup of pointers that you just have to dereference, even though you know that you are going to suffer a cache miss for every single read. Co...

I was at the Madrid OXO Museum of the Videogame this weekend. I had a chance to play with the old glories as well as checking out some funny stuff.

Sorry for the silence - we've been busy with BitSummit 2025! It was a great time, and we had great talks with many, many people! But I'd like to share that there was some great discussion with representatives from @w4games.com & @godotengine.org, and we got a group picture! #godotengine #gamedev

Would you guess which of the following icons (from GMail, in this case) I've learned to despise and ignore as much as possible?

An interview I can't miss! I remember, very back in time, having some text files, obtained from I don't know where (Internet was still not a thing, for me at least), which were articles on rasterization by S. Barrett. I learnt a lot and even wrote my first routines thanks to those.

VoxelGI in #Godot 4.5 is gonna be 🔥

How the release cycle works: Godot Engine 4.5 Interview with Rémi Verschelde, featuring contributions from W4 Games

@akien.bsky.social highlights the W4-supported upgrades in Godot 4.5, including Shader Baker, Script Backtraces and more.
Did you know #GodotEngine 3 is still maintained for legacy hardware?

Also, kids, bear in mind that hanging up the phone is what you now refer to as 'end call.'

Thanks for the shout-out! 😃

Wow, I can never remember the precise command for this.

Optimizing 3D scenes in Godot on Arm GPUs In part 1 of this series, learn how we utilized Arm Performance Studio to identify and resolve major performance issues in Godot’s Vulkan-based mobile renderer.
