@raccoonformality I totally get that point of view. There are certainly current and potential aspects of it I don't like. That said, it will certainly have its hype cycle (I think we are in that now), but there will remain aspects of it in the future and I feel quite substantial ones, so for me I've decided to dig into the topic a bit, to get a better understanding. But to your point, as I learn more there are parts that certainly concern me.

@rom nice, I'm impressed with how well it can explain code. Helps when you are coming up to speed on a new code base.

Hey indie game devs, are you using AI assistance (ChatGPT, etc) for any aspects of game development?

Success, just found the box with my mic after the move. Recording for YouTube back online!

First day in Tokyo , door to door travel time; 23hrs, but I know it will be worth it. Looking forward to exploring but also relaxing a bit.

Based on feedback I've added little 3D previews when hovering over objects in MakeRoom!

Godot engine now on the epic game store. Great to see more exposure for the engine.

Cool graphic of free alternatives to some of the subscription/expensive software out there. Can't vouch for all of them, but the one's I've used are excellent!

@StabbyCutyou@mastodon.socia l soo nice to get rid of all those string literals

Playing around with the new connect syntax in #godot4

@aeva lol, it is a bit barren in here. I've got a few living plants friends to bring up from the former house soon

The typical first furniture for a new home, camping chair office is online!

Woohoo!
1500 contributors put so much work into this. Amazing product and community.

A complete overhaul. A solid foundation to build upon. #GodotEngine

New home closed today! Now the move to Washington state this weekend.
Looking forward to getting everything settled and eventually back to content creation, I miss it.

Imagine's Renegade work-in-progress graphics. I can't imagine nowadays any of the 300 coders team of any PS5 or Xbox game designing its graphics that way! 🙂

We had 17 alphas, 17 betas -- rumor has it we'll get to #Godot4 RC 17... I don't believe so, but we sure can have a third #GodotEngine build in a week with 4.0 RC 5!

There was a GDScript regression in yesterday's RC 4, now fixed, so no reason to wait.

We'll take it! #Mythwrecked

Introduction: Hello, I'm a long time software developer, (~25 years). In the past few years I've taken the time to learn video game development. I've taken to teaching what I learn as it helps me to solidify concepts and I'm hopeful it will be helpful to others getting started in GameDev
