This is a great read. Well worth your time.
On my favorite games of 2025, in that weird meandering way I think about games and life and industry and everything. Thanks to @giantbomb.bsky.social for having me!

This is why they want us to be upset about day care centers.

I'm setting up some user friendly scripts to get a First Person game up & running quickly. Sets up node trees, key bindings, globals, has a nice player controller & more.
I'll stick these (and all the other stuff I'm building) on Itch or Gumroad when they're ready.

Trump just posted this photo of the sharpest minds in our intelligence community hard at work during the Venezuelan operation.

Came up with (i think) a cool way to texture characters: using Ucupaint's Decal tool to project sparate photobashed elements onto the mesh.
You can pop out to Krita and erase what you don't need and use the amazing Auto Reload addon to see the changes instantly. #GameDev #IndieDev #Blender

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

#Blender3d skin shader! Ucupaint gets grumpy with too many layers so this procedural shader is designed to bake out maps for the different subsurface layers (blood vessels, veins etc) separately so you can fine tune them as Ucupaint image layers.

All the #Godot optimized #Blender3d tools I've made so far in action. The Splat Map tool controls texture mixing & height & feeds a Godot Shader.
The Scatter Tool realizes instances & feeds an Optimize Scatter import script in Godot that cleans it up & converts it to a Multimesh

Here's my Splat Map #Godot Shader and #Blender3d tool. The tool loads PBRs into RGB channels and creates 3 UV maps (Trim, Lightmap & Splat) so you can just paint. All 2k textures.
The shader mixes them and adds some quick procedural dust or wetness if you want.

Made a Spat Map tool for Blender (and a Godot Shader to use it.)
The performance penalty for Splat Maps vs Vertex Colors is negligible (it's 1 extra draw call) and splat maps give far better results. The Godot shader can accept both anyway.

Testing edge wear & trim sheet control in Godot using Vertex Colors. A simple grunge texture controls breakup.
Modern hardware handles poly counts fine. Draw calls are the real bottleneck, so reusing the same small batch of textures is great for performance.

If you've never seen it or haven't in a long time and you think it's just Pollyannaish fluff, you should watch Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.

All the game logic is done!!!! We have a clone-able guard, we can hide behind stuff, collect items, power up the Resistance radio, get caught, restart, and win the mission.
Now I have January and February to make it pretty. But it plays! And it's pretty fun!
