I know there are no updates from my #gamedev side of things.
I be honest with you.
I'm burned out. 9-to-5 is extremely demanding.
On top of that there's a family crisis going on too.

These terms are pretty established especially in the fighting games community for over 30 years...
"hitbox" vs "hurtbox" is so ambiguous in my head, is it established which is which?
hitbox is either the box that can hit others, or it's box that gets hit
hurtbox is either the box that can hurt others, or it's the box where you get hurt
are there better names for these?
hitbox is either the box that can hit others, or it's box that gets hit
hurtbox is either the box that can hurt others, or it's the box where you get hurt

Ein starkes Signal von Digitalminister Fabian Mehring zur #Games-Förderung in #Bayern! Wenn Länder wie Bayern vorangehen und diese Schritte durch eine steuerliche Games-Förderung auf Bundesebene ergänzt werden, kann Deutschland insgesamt zu den führenden Games-Standorten aufschließen.

The one upside of generative AI is that it made me value human-made art more. Art that didn't really impress me before feels way more meaningful now. Thanks slop, you made me appreciate human creativity more than ever.

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.
