A passing-of-the ages high fantasy setting where the age of men is ending. Generation ships leave for other stars systems. The remaining humans, while technologically superior are left to deal with an increasingly large and feral population of fey.

Does anyone have experience exposing Engine.time_scale to the user? I had been rolling my own implementation, and mulitplying the value where it made sense (animations, timers, etc). I didn't realize the Engine already had this built in.

The past tense of shoot (shot) and troubleshoot (troubleshooted) is incongruent. Chew on that!

I know I've posted about this before, but I swear you guys are sleeping on my drag-and-drop export utility.
CTRL+SHIFT while dragging nodes into your inspector. It creates the relevant @export variable, and assigns it.

Imagine asking a question on bsky, tagging multiple hashtags, and then setting it so only your followers can answer 🐣
I know the answer to your question good sir, but you'll never learn because I'm incapable of answering you.

I signed up to do a group playtest session for my in progress game. So... I guess time to get my game into playtest shape? 😅

🤵 I don't know how popular this game is going to be. And I don't imagine a game like this to be my magnum opus.
But it still feels like a culmination of my skills (so far). It constantly offers opportunities to use every trick in my book to achieve the result. And it's such a great feeling to do!

New upgrade - energy boost!
Gives you a random chance to double your swings per second for a short time. Great for burst damage.
Other than that, lots of progress that's not as fun to look at. Controller support, bug fixing, marketing stuff, etc.

Did you ever wish to get a random point from a polygon? Here are three polygons, each with 150 random points inside. You could use this for enemy spawning etc.
I'm hoping to get this into Godot, but for now you can get the code here: github.com/godotengine/...

I don't play War Games, but the Battlefield beta perked my interest, so I picked up a deeply discounted Battlefield1 on steam.
Fucking joke.
It requires EA Launcher (fine), but also requires kernel level anticheat to play the SINGLEPLAYER CAMPAIGN. Fuck EA. Viva indie dev!
