I don't believe Unity is oblivious to #Godot. In fact they're not doing anything to fight back a competitor because they're no longer interested in supporting the indie game market. AI and military contracts are more their focus now. It's time for Godot to take over the indie scene.
The next task is the pop-up menu to start the game. Will also adjust the title's animation a bit before I'm satisfied.

They also integrated their fork with AI. Just shows who they really are: talentless bros who can't create anything by themselves, stealing the work of all the "woke" people, claiming we make everything worse while they create nothing but slob. AAA studio failures have been b/c of toxic bro culture.
It seems there are just a little too many POC, women, gay people using #Godot. They labelled developers & community as making Godot "political" and lied (as usual) about being banned (fully debunked). Should have made their own engine. Still using "woke" Godot with all "woke" updates. Hypocrites.
Got the #Dwell pendant swaying under a breeze. The next thing is to add the candle flame and flickering to the background. The final task will be the render and dither process to #Playdate.
Constructed a part of a tavern in #Godot. Will add fire, flickering light, and also animation. Then a timer to capture animated screenshots, dither them to 1-bit, and export into a bitmap table to be played on a #Playdate console by #Dwell. Stop and rest, complete tomorrow.
Yes I will have the #Godot project that can demonstrate the entire process when It's done.
It's kinda late but I'm starting work on creating an animated scene in #Godot to be used as the title scene for #Dwell for #Playdate. It seemed complicated at first but became so much simpler. I will exhibit the entire process when it's done.
Just reminded myself that I could work on both #Dwell and #Wicked for #Playdate together, one is a word game and the other is a card game. Wicked is actually simpler than Dwell because it already have the necessary fun mechanics while I need to add more complexity to #Dwell to make it more fun.
Just saw that Office Chair Curling out on #Playdate. It's been on the radar for a while already.

Looking for a candlestick in #Synty store assets.
I'm gonna try to make a special title scene for #Dwell for #Playdate. The pendant is hanging down in a tavern but slightly moving because of a blowing breeze which also causes the candle-lighted scene to flicker. All this will have to be done in #Godot. Complicated but very impressive if it works!
Updated the launch card for #Dwell on #Playdate. Added a black border around the card, and shifted the pendant down so you can see more of the necklace. Will work on the launch image next.
By the way, #Unity CEO gets paid USD 850K per month. 🙄
My Yuri queen #Yves also dropped the Yuri album of the year #NAIL, so it's a great day. Definitely be vibing all day.

I need food and rest now. 😁
Back to #Dwell tonight.
Godot's funding. There is money, yes, but less than 10K per month for a year is not enough to hire the industry's best professionals for full-time work on Godot. Most miracles were free contributions from members, like Zi and others. Thank you all so much. You're all #Godot heroes.
Launch card on mirror.
Launch card on physical device.
Spent all night & early morning making a 350x155 launch card for #Dwell. Tools we used: Inkscape for Pendant and Jörmungandr, then noised and weathered in Paint.NET, Dithered in Godot with GDScript, composed with pixel-drawn border, and exported to PNG with Paint.NET. Lots of work, but happy. 😁
Getting references of Norse pendants, shields, and runestones. If the models are cheap, I'll use my boss's card. Not gonna model them myself even though I can.
The Internet is working again, at least the sites I'm using are working. Now getting some cheap models and references for #Dwell.
This will be my 2nd year with #Playdate. The first year was a lot of playing, experimenting and learning. This year is my production year. It's time to make games for my little yellow console. 😁
This is my favorite game. I love the story and the stories they tell in the game. Just let me do what I love to do, Internet. Let me make my game. 🥹
Bluesky and many sites still not working fine for me. Just when I committed my time to #Dwell for #Playdate. I have to do most work offline. Difficult when you need plenty of online resources / references when you're Asian not making a Shogun game but a Norse game bc I love it. 😩
Well nothing much I can do today with #Dwell. My internet went nuts, many sites including Bluesky weren't working. Was looking for runestone models and references but the sites were not responding. Dwell will have to wait then.
Game devs check this out, really good stuff for cheap.
I'll definitely be adding some of these to the mix.
He said he got 60% of ZX Starquake as well, if I'm interested in ZX Spectrum ports. 😆
A #Godot port of ZX Spectrum's #Fairlight on Github! I showed it to my boss, who was a ZX Spectrum owner and fan, and then he shoved his 80% completed #Godot port of #Sabrewulf to me and told me to finish it. 😒 LOL

A great mom.
It's looking awesome! Don't let anyone tell you it's not. Some people had never created anything remotely great on their own but have a lot of opinions on others' work. They're not worth the time.
