Rolled credits on Hades II! Amazing game, definitely GOTY in my book. Takes the formula from the first game and just gives you MORE. Art style is gorgeous, soundtrack slaps. At 50+ hours in it's still hitting you with new, fully voiced dialogue. 10/10.

Over the last couple of days I've updated my Godot Starter Kits to support 4.5! ✨ It was a blast, I kind of forgot what a breeze it is to use @godotengine.org. I can really recommend it, you can see all my kits here:

If you happen to be canceling streaming services for whatever reason, maybe throw a few bucks to a creative's Patreon or Ko-fi. Many have monthly tiers starting as low as $1, which may not sound like much, but if they get enough sign-ups, it could be life-changing money for those living on the edge.

Did a fun little ocarina experiment - using narrowband spectrum analysis in Godot to detect pitch and recognize songs!

Recent pics from the Highland Renaissance Festival + Warp Zone game night with the friends I'm making a game with. 🎮

The Forbidden Flask is a medieval tavern sim where you serve drinks 🍻 and brew illicit potions (just don't get caught when the guards make their rounds 👀).

if you wanna make video games as a career you have to enjoy the process of making video games. its not enough to just enjoy the end result. same goes for most types of creative works

the code you write in the last few weeks of a game's development is just horrendous. truly nightmare programming. absolute duct tape over a crack in a million gallon aquarium.
