Ah yeah, forgot Godot allows embedding PCK packages.

Great point: if you want to embed information such as thumbnails and metadata (aka .desktop files), then AppImage is the way to go.

For Linux, IMO AppImage has a slight advantage of being a single executable file, compared to .x86_64+.pck combo.

But Godot targets old library versions for compatibility on Linux, and from my experience it's very rare for the native build to not work. So AppImage doesn't offer much more advantage.

Scott Shambaugh is living through his own personalized Black Mirror episode for daring to share some of his talents and skills with the world for free by being a FOSS maintainer.

Yet assholes who are doing this to him are not having a moral revelation moment. It’s business as usual to them.

Yeah, the main breaked signal from ScriptEditorDebugger is used to distinguish between breakpoints, stepping, exceptions, and continuing the game process 🫠

I will draw, even if it’s bad.
I will draw, even if it’s challenging.
I will draw, even if it’s been done before.
I will draw, even if it’s imperfect.
I will draw, even if someone else is better.
I will draw, even if I have much to learn.

I will draw because it’s fun.
Because I’m human.

Super curious how usable is this for a wide variety of apps. Are some apps unusable due to specific color schemes? Or are there ways to tweak the contrast/"color scheme" of apps in order to bypass such issues?

IT'S OUT! IT'S OUT!

P.I.G.E.O.N., our little espionage game is now available on itch.

I'm so proud of the work we've done here, and I hope everyone enjoys playing it just as much as we enjoyed making it.

We've also released a second game, as an added bonus.

Controller Icons plugin ported from GDScript to C# to fix one bug (w/ tutorial!) YouTube video by Jace Varlet

The "Controller Icons" @godotengine.org plugin by @rsubtil.bsky.social has been INCREDIBLE.

But! Due to 1 (suspected) engine bug, there was a rare crash when using the GDScript plugin with C# Projects.

So I PORTED THE WHOLE THING TO C# TO FIX IT and it's free!

I'm interested, but my current situation might not be ideal for what the team is looking for.

What's the best way to contact the studio to share these details and some questions, before proceeding with an application?

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."
