Left4Dead 2 was released exactly sixteen years and two months ago... and after all this time, it's STILL shitting on it's competitors from a great height!

Few games age this well. Shout-out to the dev team and Valve's Source Engine. 🫡

I have two questions for Emi (@coppolaemilio.com):

1. Will ALL the current assets in the Godot Asset Library be available in the Godot Asset Store?

2. Erm... has anyone at Godot tried visiting store-beta.godotengine.org on a mobile phone yet? 🥴😆😂

Quite possibly the most important computer you've never heard of (except maybe if you went to a British school in the early 90s).

The Actors Archimedes. The first system to use an ARM CPU. This is the great-great-great granddaddy of the CPU in your phone. No Archie, no Snapdragon.

I don't see game devs talking about this, but for Godot 5, I want to see the Godot team make good on their promise:

"More GDScript optimizations are planned in the future, such as JIT/AOT compilation" - Godot Docs

Please, don't just tell us to use C#/C++ 😟😢😭

I made a free web tool to create gradients along svg paths ✨

With it, you can create masks to animate fancy curves in your games instead of doing it by hand 🐰

*No lies detected*
Goldeneye N64 sometimes gets flak for not "aging well," but that doesn't take away from how important it was.

I'll be clear, here. Goldeneye CHANGED video games—especially console shooters. It's not gonna hit as hard for new players, but it was WAY ahead of its time and I still enjoy it now.

First proof of concept of a tiny epaper Linux terminal laptop! I got it running tmux on the display. It is sadly slow as shit because I am using a python library called PaperTTY to display the terminal, reach out if you happen to be an epaper driver programmer lol

Curses of the the big three game engines:

Unreal: The every AAA game feels like you've played it a million times already curse.

Unity: The shovelware curse.

Godot: The non-AAA curse.

Some of my fellow programmers are still waiting for the Rust revolution...

Not with that syntax mate. You're better off waiting for Godot. 😆

So... Textured Area Lights are ready to be reviewed - I hope they can make it into #Godot 4.7 🙈

I was able to integrate
Heitz's area light texture sampling based on LTC into the forward renderer, lightmaps volumetric fog, and voxelGI.

This has been a great year for the engine, but there are still a lot of things we would love to do.

If each person visiting our website donated €5, we could hire 5 more developers to work on Godot full-time.

Good news! Even if you couldn’t make it to #GodotFest this year, all the recorded talks are now gradually being uploaded to our YouTube channel.
If you’d like to support the speakers (and us!) in reaching a wider audience, a like and sub would be awesome!

I'm doing the last tests for TerraBrush as a GDExtension, everything seems to be working fine!

Someone is doing godot gamedev on MacOs and wants to try it? I don't have a Mac so I can't confirm it works 😬

Everyone is praising the @passivestar.bsky.social theme being integrated into Godot 4.6, and rightly so... but no-one is talking about the UI improvements in Godot 4.5.1 for Android! 😍

Making your game whilst taking a huge shit is now feasible! 🥹
