@unity.com and @epicgamesstore.bsky.social's recent push into AI is damaging to the creativity that empowers the games industry. We Indies rejects the notion that such tools and services have a place in the industry and our community at large. We hold a firm stance that AI has no place in games.

i hope the woim left behind is ok??? #godot #gamedev #puzzlegame #indiegame

Super Rope for Godot: realistic simulated 3D rope. Swings, collides, wraps around objects, rests, can be pulled and whipped, leashes, custom rope textures and custom shaders. Can be extended or limited. Many cool examples (check them on the browser)! #godotengine #godot

I've made 6 open-source @godotengine.org projects perfect for as a base for your first or next game. Completely human-made and easy to understand code & comments. All visuals and sounds included, CC0! kenney.nl/starter-kits

we don’t use generative AI, have hand drawn 2D animated sprites, AND our game is coded by a bearded canadian guy with glasses so you be the judge of that

📢 Some exciting news! 🎉 Our upcoming next-generation runtime, GMRT, will be free for commercial use and source avaliable for all non-console platforms! READ MORE gamemaker.io/en/blog/gmrt...

#GodotEngine will support spatial containers in the upcoming 4.8 release and we are excited to see how developers use these new engine's capabilities. Spatial Containers bring new capabilities to XR applications to work in shared spatial environments. Read more: www.khronos.org/blog/openxr-...

Just a reminder to #gamedev, put your Mastodon and Bluesky links on your Steam pages. Finding page after page after page without even a single link.

(wip) repost, cause the first one was too desaturated. 😅 #krita #godotengine

@kenney.nl is an amazing human being that has provided the indie scene an invaluable amount of assets without the expectation of being paid. His efforts are important in an age where developers can be un-creative and ask a machine to create for them. Remember: keep making personal, beautiful games!

Remember when I asked if "Australia Did It: End-of-the-World Railway Defense Business" would be superior a title to "Australia Did It" & y'all agreed & I said I'd go talk to the publisher about it? Oh, before I forget: launching November 10th! Please do wishlist :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBFl...

Do not tell everybody but NOKOMA on #Steam should be released in 2027! Yeah it was scheduled in 2026 but you know #solodev #indiedev stuff and hardships... More seriously, I'm sorry if anyone was waiting for it on his computer or Steam Deck hardware... I'll do better. I have to! 💪

Cogito For Godot 1.2.0 is here. Our "Immersive Sim Template" has gotten a new big release with a ton of improvements and QoL features. If you're unfamiliar with it, here's a new featurette video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHD2... #MadeWithGodot #CogitoForGodot

Would you believe our game is built from basically just 1 texture?

Psst: Tired of map editors that are unmaintained or whose maintainers accept or add LLM-generated code? Love Source? Goldsrc? idTech? Godot? Do you love level design where brush edges line up perfectly to create a fully enclosed hull? Then you deserve a WifeRadiant, from @erysdren.bsky.social :)

Put a lot more work into UI/UX things, this month: Reworked menu management, gamepad/keyboard navigation, dynamic input hints, etc... Stuff that isn't particularly exciting, but still very important! #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Late Godot 4.x releases including 4.8 feel like an inflection point where the engine is starting to feel like a dependable tool

YESSSS!! Took a couple days, but I now have one motor function that can lets penguins hit any point on anything with any point on any other thing. Probably one of the most versatile motor tasks I've made. SO happy with this! 🐧🐟🔨🙏🧊🚿🪵 #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

🪼 I wanted to optimize the small jellyfish visuals in my game, so I refactored them into a multimesh shader. #godotengine #gamedev #wildcosmos

Throwback to an experiment I did during the pandemic which started as a geometry slicing algorithm for a cake meme, but then evolved into procedural locomotion paradigms, body-awareness and speech generation. #gamedev #indiedev

Imagine Aseprite or another #pixelart program inside Blender? Pixel Perfect Pixel Art drawing and texture painting on top of the model in the 3D viewport and in 2D. Drawing, painting, selection tools, layers, texel density (pixel size) setup and density zones (multiple pixel sizes). #blender3d

While the #godot road generator's RoadPoint is meant to be directionally agnostic, it does help for troubleshooting to know which was is "forward". Finally got around to implementing this little puzzle-piece motif in the gizmo itself to visually help with that - work in progress
