It is absolutely astounding to me how common AI content has become on GitHub, Reddit and HackerNews. It's everywhere. Guess I'll start using Discord more often.

This may sound insane but I plan to eventually port my RTS game to a custom engine in C. But only for the sequel, I'll stick to Godot for the first game. Well, technically I already started the port but I really need to finish the first game first. I just fell in love with C.

there's increasingly a worrying amount of AI slop posts on reddit lately. most of the time they're caught and downvoted, but it's mildly annoying when sorting by new.
I miss the pre-AI internet so much. all social media & search engines seem to be going downhill :/

love how I can't compile a very simple CLI utility that I need on my laptop because it's written in rust and 4GB RAM is apparently not enough for such a simple task lol. it's got 400+ dependencies too. rust is such a mess

experimenting with the Defold game engine and wow, I'm blown away by the fantastic documentation. THIS is how an engine should be documented!

man, GDSCript's slowness is starting to get on my nerves, it can't optimize away simple stuff even in Release mode. I think for my next game I'll either try to get a good lua binding working or ditch godot altogether. The engine is fine but there are way too many limitations with scripting

sorry for the lack of updates on social media lately, just been busy with the more "boring" stuff behind the scenes, like tweaking the pathfinding and setting up the last few systems. I'll post as soon as I have more interesting stuff to share 🙂

Still WIP, but here's what the basic rewards for expeditions in Campaign mode will look like. They're like the equivalent of quests/missions.

Added items to my medieval RTS! 🙂 Also, Steam's RTS fest starts tomorrow. I joined as an unreleased game, but without a demo as there are still a few major features left to implement.

I generally make a yearly recap for my gamedev stuff, but this year it was all about my citybuilder.
So I made a recap of my citybuilder !

Ok the only issue I had with upgrading to Godot 4.x was terrain (autotiles in 3.x) being a bit too slow to update at runtime. But @portponky.bsky.social's BetterTerrain plugin made it considerably faster and I can later switch to the GDExtension version to make it even faster 🥳
