Yes, please!

I'm working on my next contribution for @thegodotbarn.com . I've been inspired by Pico-8 cartsdridges feature : storing game data into a picture. It's called steganography. Is anyone interested by a simple implementation of load/save data from/in picture in #gdscript ? #GodotEngine #gamedev

Ugh, just one by one, eh? I hadn't heard of Monzo before but I guess that's not gonna matter now.

Uh-oh, what happened to Simple? I used to use them a while back and switched at one point, though I don't remember specifically why.

Do it...

Any useful guides on pbr texture optimization with Godot? What do people do to minimise VRAM usage but still using high quality assets?

I read that it is recommended to combine various textures into a single texture file but how would the workflow look for this exactly? Seems quite cumbersome.

More soon!

You can read more about this release, the new updating feature for GDExtension, and next week's GodotSteamKit release in this post: godotsteam.com/blog/2026/03...

More importantly, let's get you some download links for updates!

Valve dropped SDK 1.64 about two weeks ago and I've been building updates for it. Then Godot dropped 4.5.2 and that added a little extra time. Then I decided to get the GDExtension updater finished and, well, here we are. Time for some updates. GodotSteam 4.18 and GodotSteam Server 4.9 are now live!

Are there any standardized FOSS licenses, at this point, which forbid any "AI", or anyone using "AI", from touching the code?

Take a look at some of the custom editor tools I'm using to build my city 🔨 Once the city is complete, it'll be distributed as a public domain model - ready for your games and projects.
