The Tilemap3D isn't worth using imho. It's simpler in the long run just to align nodes to a grid with the grid snap.

It suffers from the same lod and occlusion issues that MultimeshInstance3d suffers from too.

Found this map of street trees in Sheffield. Really handy if you see a tree you like and want to know what it is! www.andygreenwood.co.uk

Anyone else noticed how uncharacteristically quiet Nigel Farage is right now?

Just found out Adam Savage took Saudi blood money to shill for them as a tourist destination.

I am rapidly running out of heroes. :-(

Looks like Alpkit have a new owner. I hope they don't VC the brand into the ground :-(

Why am I only just learning about Imphenzia's PixPal Palette, and how easy it is to use in Godot (thanks to @flynsarmy.bsky.social nice little import plugin: github.com/Flynsarmy/gd...).

It's just massively simplified a tedious task I thought I had to do!

I think people need training that it's not AI :-/

It's a guessing engine, not a thinking engine.

Strongly typed code generally executes faster than loosely typed code.

Also: autocomplete.

Also: sanity! :-D

Did you know we have begun porting our POLYGON game dev asset library to @godotengine.org?

Today we released our FREE Starter Pack for Godot, which is a great opportunity to take our porting work for a spin.

Fantastic news!!

Say what you will about Nigel Farage, but you have to give him credit for setting up and running retirement home for old, defunct Conservatives.

Especially considering how much he professes to despise them.

If you port that code out of _physics_process into _input, it'll only fire when needed, not check if it's needed all the time.
