@godotengine Thanks, dad!

The robot is just a bunch of Sprite2D nodes, and the mask effect on the white parts and text use a simple shader. All of this is controlled by an AnimationPlayer so it should be simple to adjust.

Uses the lovely m5x7 font by @managore and UI 12 by @NotJam

Made a replacement engine splash screen to fit in with my GBC-inspired pixel art style. Download from Itch, licensed CC0, do what you want with it!

Not sure why the miners would waste huge quantities of their haul on building a slippery golden floor, but it makes for good puzzling.

New puzzle mechanic: put the broken monkey statues back together!

Every good cave system needs a mysterious gold mine.

#Aseprite

A Game Boy Color style game screenshot. The player character is standing in a dark mine. There are broken mine cart tracks, scattered gold nuggets, old wooden floorboards, and a shiny gold floor suspended above a bottomless pit.

@molegato would love to see your 3D modelling workflow!

Wanted to check out Godot 4.2 and made a little sokoban style game. The idea was "what if blocks sticky". 15 levels, you can play it here: fenchel.itch.io/sokobam

@brianbilston I thought I hated poetry but now I love poetry.

@kennethfejer strong Jacob's Ladder vibes, don't change a thing!

@Sfb Not much at the moment!

Thanks to the person who mentioned movement stutter in the demo feedback. I couldn't think about anything else so completely refactored the player's movement controller to smooth things out.

holy shit

We unequivocally condemn and reject the recent TOS/fee changes proposed by Unity and the underhanded way they were rolled out. The flippant manner with which years of trust cultivated by Unity were cast aside for yet another way to squeeze publishers, studios, and gamers is the saddest part. That this move was wholly unnecessary pushes things into the tragedy category - a cautionary tale the industry will not soon forget. We do not feel that a simple public statement is sufficient. Even if Unity were to recant their policies and statements, the destruction of trust is not so easily repaired. We strongly feel that it is now equally important to get behind some of the other up-and-coming open source game engines. 

To that end, we are donating $100,000 to each of the open source engines listed below. Additionally, we are sponsoring each of these projects with $1,000/month each moving forward. All we ask in return is that they remain good people and keep doing all that they can to make these engines powerful and approachable for developers everywhere.

Re-Logic has always been supportive of game developers and indie studios that do things the right way. We feel that our actions in this moment are the best way to carry that mission forward - by accelerating and strengthening competing open source game engines, we hope to empower and assist studios that are struggling with how best to proceed given these recent events.

@Sunseille wasn't really thinking about the solution, just demoing the camera! Going up wouldn't have solved the puzzle anyway: there were still 4 blocks that needed to be destroyed to unlock the door 😊

Bigger puzzles need a panning camera!

We now have a title screen. And a title. And saving and loading and progress tracking.
