In the same way most of us say “goodbye” without realising it derives from “god be with ye”, maybe one day people will end conversations with “likensubscribe”

Room layout generators for dining areas randomize furniture, quantity, noise, and placement. They add lights on tables and I'm working on auto-placing themed items like plates and food. They're also customizable different layouts for hearths, bedrooms, and more.#Meadowfell

Just updated my open source @vulkan glTF C++ PBR based viewer.

Did some major performance improvements, esp. in regards to animated meshes using skinning (esp. when running in debug builds).

Also fixed some bugs like broken/wrong reflections and also added support for basis universal texture compression via KHR_texture_basisu

Progress on the UI for the demo.

Also, screaming performance, as always. :) (and those line renderers are really dumb GDscript objects)

I recently saw a video about parallax corrected cubemaps and fell in love. Strange enough I never heard of this technique before.

Found out how to enable them in Godot :godot: using Reflection Probes by cheking "Box Projection". The bounding box must match the room size + some additional space to include walls.

It's simple and awesome 🍑

✨ I spent 3 months writing the best interactive introduction to queueing I could, and it's live now!

You can read it here: https://encore.dev/blog/queueing.

It starts off by showing what happens when you have no queue...

A screenshot from the post. It shows the first visualisation, an orange circular button on the left and a black rounded square on the right. The button is clicked, and a request travels to the black square, the server, and gets processed by slowly disappearing in a clock-like fashion.

I made a body editor for my Unreal game (with modular bodies) entirely in UMG

SirLich, 22 days ago (edited 22 days ago) to godot

EDIT: This exists -check replies! :godot:

I wish Godot had inline scripts.

I find this most relevant with UI. For example a label that displays the name of the current level. I don't WANT to create and organize a separate .gd file for this. I want the script to just be owned by the node as part of the tscn file.

Cluttering the file system with one-off files that won't be reused doesn't feel the cleanest to me.

Pixel art and low-poly are well known terms, but those are aesthetics, generally percieved as being nostalgic or artistic choices.

But this does not properly appreciate the considerable technical value of low-fidelity graphics. Pixel art and low-poly are merely two styles that manage to make low-fidelity look good.

Low-fidelity presentations are invaluable for creating complex games, flexible gameplay, and big games with limites time and money.
It should be more talked about.

Good news for everyone, like me, who hated the network identity stuff in #GodotSteam: it will soon be replaced with Steam IDs instead. We are testing it in the new-ish Experiments repo where more breaking changes will be tested. Builds are cooking now!

Stack Overflow announced that they are partnering with OpenAI, so I tried to delete my highest-rated answers.

Stack Overflow does not let you delete questions that have accepted answers and many upvotes because it would remove knowledge from the community.

So instead I changed my highest-rated answers to a protest message.

Within an hour mods had changed the questions back and suspended my account for 7 days.

Diff view of a stack overflow question showing it being changed from the original text to a protest message, then being changed back again by a mod. Protest text reads: Why does OpenAI get to profit from our work? I have removed this question in protest of Stack Overflow's decision to partner with OpenAI. This move steals the labour of everyone who contributed to Stack Overflow with no way to opt-out. OpenAI has a history of flooding the web with inaccurate information and have explicitly stated that they will never pay creators for their work.

Hey, they fixed Voyager I!

I bet that was tricky. It’s over 15 billion miles away, 24 billion kilometers. 136.3 AU. Almost nineteen light-hours away. That’s pretty far.

The probe is 47 years old. Younger than me! If I’d gotten my shit together, I could be at least 140 AU out from the sun by now. Well, I didn’t. Another opportunity passed me by.

I never thought I ever say it again, but I've made a game. A jam game, but for real this time. It's been 8 years since the last time I made one.

EIGHT YEARS. But holy moly I finally did it. 🥳

Let me present to you theGRIMOIRE_, a short puzzle game with a simple core mechanic, but with a bunch of quite interesting levels. Not enough to make you rage quit, but enough to make you ponder for a bit.

NOTE TO LITERALLY THE ENTIRE INTERNET:

No thought is ever complete. There will always be holes to fill!

RESIST THE URGE TO FILL THOSE HOLES

If someone has said something which you largely agree with, especially if what they said aligns with your understanding of and goals towards an issue, then the LAST thing they need from you is someone playing devil's advocate. Nitpicking is annoying at best and, in a world where people are looking to drive wedges between allies, dangerous at worst.

My son (12y) has been making a new game in #GameBuilderGarage on #Switch. It's a cannon wars type game (set the angle & power & shoot your opponent).

This program lets you drag & drop logic & effect blocks and connect them together.

Look at this insanity! GBG is both very cool and an utter affront to #coding. 😵‍💫

The fact that you can follow the president of the United States (@potus) from your Mastodon account instead of being forced to have an X or Threads account for it is a huge W in my book. Of course our team is fully available to help if they'd want to set up Mastodon on whitehouse.gov. I believe governments should not rely on 3rd party platforms to connect with their constituents.

Public reveal of my software synthesizer GDExtension project for #GodotEngine is going to happen this week!

I'm almost done preparing the "Initial commit", and have now completed the interactive demo of some of the synth's capabilities! Sound ON 🔊👂

I'm really happy with the current state of affairs, as this demo also tests most of the functionality that I'll need for the music/sfx production app based on this synth.

The UI should be done rather quickly, with alpha soon to follow.

The video starts with a user interface of an app, showing a classic piano layout. As the video goes on, the user uses their mouse to interact with the piano keys, which produce corresponding sounds, demonstrated with a spectrum graph as well as the sound itself. The video also shows that you can change what instrument is imitated with the synthesizer, and as that happens, different sounds are produced by the same keys.
