Kenney Shape is now FREE! (and it'll remain free, forever) ✨ Previously a paid tool, I'm releasing it as a gift to the community. Today's update will be the final one, with no further updates planned. That way I can focus on new software & projects! kenney.itch.io/kenney-shape

Mold, my vector graphics library for Godot and Unity just hit full release! dkliao.itch.io/mold Designed allow you to create beautiful looking shapes right within the engine, no need for image editor or modeling tools. (This gif was created using only Mold) #gamedev #indiedev #godot #unity3d

Got an hour to spare today or tomorrow? Leave some kind comments on things you enjoy. Tell a developer they're doing a great job, or let an artist know their work is incredible. It can make a big difference in someone's day, trust me.

Today I released a big update for my Godot Game Template! → github.com/crystal-bit/... Some new features: - support for Godot 4.7 - settings menu with ConfigSave for data persistence - stats menu, thx to Antz's debug menu - bash script to build multiple platforms at once (release or debug)

Yesterday I updated the Godot Game Template with many new features: → Settings menu w/ ConfigFile persistence → antz's Debug menu → gettext based setup for localization → bash script to sync all .po files with a newer version of the .pot template → Godot 4.7 support github.com/crystal-bit/...

I love debug tools and I just discovered that @radicalfishgames.com gamedev streams where it's possible to see their custom tools and workflow. www.youtube.com/@RadicalFish...

I miss PES. We lost the master league for... This

Just uploaded the source code for this basic scene setup. If you are interested go to -> github.com/crystal-bit/...

Inconvenience? I just had to dig seven pages deep to find the unsubscribe for one of the four TV subscriptions I need, I'm measured & optimized against in my supermarket, lamps, music, games, and travel. Every service I love gets enshittified to buy billionaires yachts worth 100 times my house.

Finally deactivated my X account. The feed there was kind of toxic for me. Here instead I feel like posting again

Nevermind, I created a small UI panel to add cards on demand. Also: I reused the same scene to generate 2D textures for the 3D cards and viewports enabled to simply create an Image to populate an ItemList control node. Godot nodes system is amazing.

You don't have to change it manually anymore!! The autocomplete wont eat words by default with 4.6.2!! godotengine.org/article/main... #Godot #GameDev

Does any Godot user know if there is a UI node or addon to replicate (at playtime, not in the editor) the "Quick load" dialog that is present in the Godot editor? The most similar thing that I found is the FileDialog node, but it doesn't show cool previews.

I made a post about this on mastodon a while ago, it was driving me crazy too!! You can change the shortcuts in the editor settings: ui_text_completion_replace (defaults to enter) ui_text_completion_accept (defaults to shift+enter) To me,mapping "accept" to Enter feels nicer! #Godot #GameDev #Tip

Once again, the point of placeholder is to be replaced and thus easy to identify. If you're using machineslop to get "as close as possible" - that's not "placeholder", that's either being incredibly ignorant or being a liar hoping to get away with it. There's really no third option.

Note to self: add 1px padding to transparent textures that are going to be GPU compressed in order to avoid artifacts like this one.

Bsky gamedev feed is fresh air compared to my other socials. I'll be using it more in the next days. Really tempted to delete my X account at this point.

WTF

One of the saddest stories that I heard about AI and open source: an AI wasted time of a matplotlib maintainer and then created a blog post that may ruin his reputation. These are the maintainer thoughts about the matter: theshamblog.com/an-ai-agent-...

Vibe coding is working as expected: it'll kill the open-source, secure, and ideologically maintained alternatives to make sure you have to pay the oligarchs to do anything at all, and they can control what you're allowed to make. www.404media.co/vibe-coding-...
