a 3D tree asset on the left, with an arrow pointing to spritesheets on the right. The spritesheets contain 2 albedo sprites (front and side) and 2 normal sprites (also front and side).

Did you know you can set up a scene and render it to a texture without any nodes in #Godot, by directly using the RenderingServer? We automatically generate billboard sprites for meshes this way.

There's not much info about the RenderingServer online, so I wrote about it:

He tenido el honor de ser entrevistado por Javi del @msdosclub.bsky.social para uno de sus episodios 'floppy'. Cuando veo mi nombre entre la lista de protagonistas de otras entrevistas, con tanta figura ilustrísima, no sé si me entra síndrome del impostor o qué, pero algo.

Built using the @w4games.com Switch port of @godotengine.org! Excited to get this out in a few weeks. Pre-order now!

Given @vscode.dev won't address the feature request to allow easy change of the GUI font— github.com/microsoft/vs... —, I've done one of the typical hacks: patching the CSS with a script I can run after every update. Now I have usable scrollbars and readable code in search-replace!

Only a clock with hands sweeping smoothly—continuously—should be called 'analog'. If they move in steps, that clock is as digital as one with a numeric display, as both are 'discrete.' But it has no 'digits,' so 'digital' isn't a legit term either. What about 'pseudoanalog' or 'digital-in-disguise'?

Let's hope they stop building those beast phones. At least, they won't have enough RAM to fill a huge case anymore. 😆

The iPhone 8 was cute. Perfect size, low weight. Maybe too slippery.

I bought one as a testing device and I find myself considering adopting it as my regular phone despite me being an Android-first user.

Happy to finally announce that we helped bring this precious, cozy #GodotEngine game to #NintendoSwitch! 🥳

This is our biggest game port so far, and it vastly helped us polish and improve our Godot 4.5 port. 💪

These were some very intense couple of days.
But I wrapped up 𝐌𝐎𝐋𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐄, a small narrative horror game about getting to the ROOF of your appartment building with a horrible foot fungus.

Play it now on @itch.io :

Of course made in #GodotEngine

One of my best decisions so far this year: configuring the following keyboard shortcuts in @vscode.dev:
- Alt+O: Switch between .h and .cpp.
- Alt+U: Switch between normal and VCS diff views.

I wonder, though, why it took them so long to realize the optimization opportunity.

Looks much like a game I'd enjoy playing!

Nice!

A cozy place to be in.

Congrats!

Wouldn't you say there's a reasonable resemblance between the #GodotEngine logo and a rubber monster my kid got in one of those balls you buy for 1 € in a nearly gambling machine?

It's not only about the capabilities of the engine, but also about artistic taste and direction, and intelligence to combine both.

Besides the summarized rating, I always read a few positive and negative reviews of a game on Steam before deciding. I agree that otherwise you can commit false positives and negatives, so to say. Aside, I think a concise, dense AI summary of the reviews, 'a la' Amazon, would be very useful.

What an information-dense and fun to read article on such a tricky topic. I myself keep learning about multi-threading nuances.

Yes, it's about the recurring 'everybody lies' aphorism. I'm re-watching the whole show for at least the 8th time. Being such a fan, I couldn't help but include it.
