Honestly, forget about AI tools. The trifecta of power tools for game engine development is RenderDoc, Superluminal and Live++. Hands down the most bang for your buck you can ever get and RenderDoc in particular is criminally underpriced.

Let me tell you about how we developed the new modes in Jetpack Joyride!

When we took over for the team in we wanted to be able to have the game feel fresh over time - events that turn on and off, but not overscope it. #gamedev #mobiledev

Shutting down Arkane or Monolith must look fantastic on your spreadsheet, i'm sure. But when you come to have to make games, your actual business that is more profitable than anything else, not having these established mega-studios is going to result in games which just aren't very well made.

Steve's tutorial on animating text using the Rich Text Block shows exactly how to achieve wiggly text without needing to write any C++. It just uses the standard Rich Text Block and a few custom materials.

if you use an external code editor on Godot (VSCode, Rider etc) and want to stop the warning "files have been modified outside" popup activate this option. I'm betting 99% of the time you'll want it to auto reload.

a thing that is pretty great about all the major cloud services providers is that every single documentation page on their own websites has out-of-date screenshots and instructions

There has been some debate over whether bluesky is good for game promotion or whether actual consumers are here. As a test, last week we did two posts with mid-level performance - one from the company account, one from mine - and got ~900 wishlists. There was no other promo elsewhere. Pretty solid.

today on BRAIN WORMS i have up an article that used to be published on my old, dead website about the way Final Fantasy VIII handles Seifer and the darker aspects of a chosen one narrative... share and enjoy!
Why isn't Seifer the hero in Final Fantasy VIII?
The so-called villain of the story is just an unfortunate case of misplaced heroics.
