I'm recording a speed run of Dot Hop 1.0 today! Capturing last year's launch version before kicking off some 2.0 planning + refactors this week.

Warning, contains puzzle spoilers!

I've been making video games in some form for 20 years, so I wrote an article about my process - and why I don't use an engine.

Love this comment on https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/115762#issuecomment-2898635945

Also these Miziziziz tools look amazing: https://github.com/Miziziziz/MizGodotTools

Definitely going to have to read the code and try some of these out!

Much thanks to @godotengine for linking to my #GodotConBoston blog post (along with several others) in the latest Nodeletter! https://godot.news/archive/f2d6dc32-49f5-4099-9ee7-525ee3085651

Hopefully the first of many times :D

@gamedevsenad Let me know if there are any features you'd like to see! This has been very focused on readable dev-time output (more than production/release logging)

I posted this URL with completely the wrong context - so NOW we're getting it right! One of the #GodotConBoston talks was a video that is already available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxfmT2OOL20

So maybe that'll hold you over until the rest of the talks start to land (in a couple weeks, maybe?)

@ambiguousname ermagherd thank you - i copy-pasted the wrong yt video yesterday!! Gotta double check all my links now and edit my post

@russmatney Oh I saw this person roaming around! Cool to see these interviews compiled:

Looking forward to the archived talks, hope they show up soon.

(now with the correct YT url! ty @ambiguousname )

The GodotCon Boston talks haven't hit youtube yet, but if you're hungry for content RIGHT NOW one of the showcase devs interviewed all the other showcase devs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NJn7dTTZnw

A new version of Log.gd (your fave #Godot pretty-printer) just released on the #godotengine Asset Library!

Check out v0.0.7: https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/2696

Enjoy the stronger type support (tho, mostly Variant inputs) and the cleaner in-engine install thanks to `export-ignore` gitattributes.

Shout out to @coaguco for noticing the issue, sharing the solution, and approving the new build in the AssetLib!

@patcharcana That sounds amazingggggg

For those interested, `export-ignore` in .gitattributes tells git to ignore files/directories when exporting releases. Ignoring more things means smaller exports, and a much cleaner install in your game. (b/c you don't need log's version of gdunit or all my clojure-dev-tool noise).

Godot Con Boston was a blast! Great talks, showcased games, and new friends to hack Godot with.

I captured a bunch my experience in a wall of text here: https://russmatney.com/#/posts/techsposure/2025-05-09-boston-godot-con

@treypoling love seeing open notebooks! Good luck with the build!

Been thinking about grids for movement vs grids for puzzles a bit - but mostly just enjoying my new four color pen
