Voting will last for 24 hours on discord!

Aw hell YEAH! This motion analysis tech has exceeded my expectations. Rubbing my face in that plant in VR was surreal.

I love it!
Would combine with some elements from Asset Forge and full factory is done!
Also, will those parts be somehow available in Asset Forge or Asset Forge Deluxe?

Making CCG #game using #godot. Went for Event Sourcing. After talking to GPT, it suggested having RuleEngine that returns Array[Event]. Then you just apply those events. After some struggles and more questions I went for RuleEngine.on_event(event, game_state) -> Event.
And how you do it, #gamedev?

Not much to show as I'm more focused on nailing architecture. Going to be Card Collectable Game with robots, but every robot part gives you new cards to use. Code is almost network ready with Event Sourcing. Everything is built from data/RefCounted. #godot

Yesterday, Google chose to remove Doki Doki Literature Club from the Google Play Store. Their explanation is that the game’s content violates their Terms of Service in its depiction of sensitive themes. DDLC is widely celebrated for portraying mental health in a way that meaningfully connects deeply with players around the world, helping them feel heard, understood, and less alone on their journey. Managing to achieve that—making a truly meaningful difference by using the power of fiction to connect to others—is what I’m most grateful for. It inspires me every day to keep making cool new things, things that can really reach others, especially those in need of connection. DDLC is available on many different major platforms, including iOS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and more. We’re continuing to do everything we can to find a path forward for getting DDLC reinstated on the Google Play Store. Meanwhile, we’re also looking into potential options for alternate methods of distribution on Android devices. We worked hard to bring DDLC to Android, and we’ve gotten to see so much love and enthusiasm from passionate Android users over these past few months. Thank you so much to the community for continuing to express your love and support for DDLC through the years. We’ll keep you updated on the future of DDLC for Android. - Dan Salvato and the Serenity Forge Team

A statement regarding the removal of DDLC from the Google Play Store:

Found one issue with general event sourcing: I can not pick a card from a deck, then shuffle, then pick more as it requires actually to apply "DeckShuffled" event before.
Will make it "reactive" and apply events one by one so it could produce more events if needed.

Today I wrapped up the core phase loop for my robot CCG:
Init → Draw → Planning → Aftermath → Upkeep → Draw

All powered by event sourcing — super flexible and already paying off. Adding and tweaking phases is fast and painless.

Really satisfying to see the architecture decisions click this early 🚀

Starter Kit Racing for @godotengine.org has been updated! Now includes support for motorcycles, dynamic zoom, collision sounds & optimization and overall script improvements and project clean-up!

What is that green thing?
And still no lizard 😭 Everything is better with lizards!
Maybe can have separate dinosaur pack next? 🦖 🦕
And maybe bats? For Halloween pack? 🦇

Dino complaining again!
- @godotengine.org decides to change the UID on some files, fails! Now nothing works and some classes can not be found!
- Dino struggles for 10 minutes! 😠 Then reloads the #godot.
- Godot finishes changing the UIDs and now everything works!

I love Godot, but sometimes ... 😱

New #core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam page is up and already indexed! itch.io/jam/core-mec...
Please share and join!
TODO: need to improve on the page! Any suggestions?

Now I need to replay it! Think I have one on GoG.

I wana! Don't know why yet and where would I use it, but I wana!

Besides any tutorial I would suggest joining some simple #gamejam to see if person likes it.
Could suggest mine: #core-mechanics-challenge that is aimed at exactly that: learning and trying.

I've just found my new best favorite feature in #Godot
Finally, can put FileSystem and see EVERYTHING 😈

All top bloggers put face on the right side. Must be the reason.

I think ChatGPT is very helpful to build nice architecture!
And also very nice in worsening your scope creep! Especially with suggestion it does in the end like: "If you'd like, I can also show you one of the most useful patterns for turn-based multiplayer games" ...

No lizards :( everything is better with lizards! 🦎
Still, I love it!

Lexispell (Free Demo): Strategy meets physics, in this roguelike word game, where you combine spelling with cool upgrades to score high

The more I talk to LLM the more I think of them as a rubber duck! I just produce architectural ideas and raise my concerns and then figure and rate them out.
Helps to structure thoughts in your head.
Now I see clearer how I want my game code to be.

BTW, this game's idea was based on the current game that I am developing!
It initially was designed for @lana-lux.bsky.social #azureluxjam game-jam.
I'm finally redesigning and finishing it. Using @godotengine.org this time! With new RefCounted all the way approach!
MMO RPG turn-based etc. 😂

Participated at @jackiecodes.bsky.social game-jam with Overkane. By the results of it it looks like we took 2nd place on Gameplay/Fun category (along with 6 other participants), which is the most important category!
You can try it here: dinocrys.itch.io/signal-exter... It's multiplayer

New Starter Kits for @godotengine.org are coming! Once the two new ones are released I'll start updating older ones from Godot 4.5 to 4.6! ✨ #gamedev

#core-mechanics-challenge #gamejam is over! If you have any feedback or comments please share them! I would be happy to hear all of them (here, discord, pm etc.)!
Also, there is communities topic for it: itch.io/jam/core-mec...

Very good advice for when you really wanna do a thing, but are afraid. <3

Made a short video with a simplified explanation for my new freeze effect.
