Hey #gamedev / #indiedev, just a reminder that you can now add Bluesky to your Steam Pages for social links.
Highly recommended you do so as more and more places like Reddit ban X links and people continually leave the platform, including those of us in games media who check Steam upcoming releases

VR mirrors are crazy complex, and Godot has limitations which make them even harder to do, but if you're stubborn enough, you can make it happen! I did it by using the old trick of "just make a whole-ass mirror world" with smart clipping.

No, I don't need a bloody copilot for this document, thank you.
Writing is, in no small part, a tool for thinking. If you outsource that element to a machine that cannot think, you shouldn't be surprised if, at the end of the process, neither you nor your reader are any the wiser.

Creativity is like a houseplant, not an endless well. You need to seek out sunlight, water, and nutrients in art, shows, music, experiences, and more to tend to it. And just like plants it has its dormant and active periods and you may not seem improvement for some time.
