Calling all Windows gamers!
Got a build that needs testing - particularly need AMD card users to help verify cross-GPU behavior. (But honestly, anyone who wants to try it out is appreciated!)
DM me if you can help! 🚀

I'm looking to commission a 3D asset pack for small foliage (grass, weeds, etc.) to release for free under an MIT license. 🌿
It’s always a struggle to find open-source nature assets, so I want to fund some!

Now you too can play a slowed down version of a game from 20 years ago with no actual level design or enemies and all it costs is a complete collapse of the world economy, biosphere, education system, and multiple entire creative industries.
Project Genie is an an experimental research prototype that Google gave @jaypeters.net access to this week, though he may not be using it in exactly the way Google intended.
Here's Jay's version of something like Super Mario 64:

Been building a GPU-accelerated procedural world addon for Godot. Tonight I've tried it out with a tactical/extraction shooter I've also been working on and it's all coming together really well - had to share!

Fascinated by GBA development but always struggle a bit with the setup (makefile you say??) so had a stab at making a browser-based IDE for it 🎮
Write C and Assembly in the browser
One-click compile (devkitPro via Docker)
Play instantly in embedded mGBA
