In the span of weeks, I've gone from someone who has never used Godot, to struggling to "get" Godot, to really liking Godot, to having taught aspiring gamedevs the basics of Godot, to strongly believing Godot's workflow & structure might be the best approach to developing games for many purposes.

Last Friday was a big one for us.
The same day we announced Fallosophy (๐
), we attended the Irish Games IndieDev & Incubator networking day at CREW.
The IndieDev Fund played a huge role in getting the game started, and it was brilliant meeting so many talented developers.

Valve and Nintendo will collaborate on โabsolutely nothingโ later today.
There will be โno details, whatsoeverโ announced because, as my source puts it, โThey literally aren't doing anything together. Stop messaging me.โ
It remains to be seen what - if anything - this collaboration is about.
Just a standard firefox tab nothing to see here
