Gave some shout outs to @minapecheux.bsky.social @queble.bsky.social @beanjbunny.bsky.social as cool smallish #godot creators in my latest Godot propaganda video.

Godot Engine can make games of ANY genre! But there ARE bottlenecks and limitations:

As everyone knows, March 30 is the least spooky day of the year. So it's the best day to spookify your #godot game with some bone-chilling effects.

A few maybe. Doing an x-files watch and it's painful to go from "intense, relevant conspiracy stuff" to "here's some circus people with weird bodies"

So, Slay the Spire 2 is approaching $100m in gross sales in 2 weeks. This makes it already 5x more profitable than the entire lifetime sales of next biggest game produced in Godot, Brotato. Without a doubt, we've hit the point where some professional folks will be thinking they need to learn Godot.

probably unpopular opinion: game narrative should be either playable, or given in walls of skippable/unvoiced text

The best thing about games with lots of cutscenes is that they give you a chance to work on your own stuff while you wait for everyone to blab and do their cool action moves.

If you're a small studio or an indie dev, I need you to understand that you're all that's gonna be left when the billion dollar oroboros that is the gaming industry finishes eating itself.

Make the games you wanna see.

"Isometric games don't exist" is a guide with 40 detailed charts about perspective in videogames.

It teaches you everything about isometry and what all the other game perspectives & projections are and how they work.

Though tbh I think that there's a reason why most people just bash their head against this guy, and that's the culture around Dark Souls prioritizing "gettin' good" rather than "clever solutions using the tools available" (which are often thought of as cheese).

In Defense of the Capra Demon - Dark Souls' Most Misunderstood Boss YouTube video by illusory wall

The Capra Demon is a puzzle boss.
This is an INCREDIBLE piece of design. Having recently played through this and was VERY frustrated by Capra... this absolutely casts it in a new light.

A rabbit in overalls and a goat in pants are sitting on the ground drawing pictures. The rabbit is saying “ART POSES A THREAT TO CORPORATOLRATIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE A PURPOSE OF ART IS TO REMIND THE INDIVIDUAL OF THEIR INHERENT AUTONOMY.”, the goat adds “THEIR HUMANITY.”
