Hi! I'm Ricardo, a software developer aspiring to be a game developer one day!

I started using Godot in 2018, and I actually have been making some contributions to it. This year I really want to be more active in this community, so I'll try to be more present here and share some of my work!

The Rockstar union case made its way into UK Parliament earlier today
Video game giant Rockstar has sacked more than 30 workers across the UK, including my constituents working at their Edinburgh office. I urged Ministers to support workers who have lost their jobs, and stop this from happening again.

Due to overwhelming popular demand I taught myself how to make and edit video!

Here is how I made my procedural pixel art tentacle, keen to hear feedback as this is all very new for me. Cheers :)

🇩🇪 Germany is AGAINST Chat Control:

Jens Spahn: "We as the CDU/CSU parliamentary group are against indiscriminate monitoring of chats. That would be like preemptively opening all letters to check whether there's something illegal in them. That's not acceptable, that won't happen under our watch."

5 months after the jam that brought SCOPECREEP to life, I'm proud to say the Steam Page as now launched! If you like incremental games, make sure to wishlist it!

Also, it would mean the world to me if you spread the word!

What an absolutely surreal experience to see how many people are so excited about this game we're building. Unfortunately I could only be there for one day, but if you're attending, definitely go visit our booth in the Indie Arena!

IT'S OUT! IT'S OUT!

P.I.G.E.O.N., our little espionage game is now available on itch.

I'm so proud of the work we've done here, and I hope everyone enjoys playing it just as much as we enjoyed making it.

We've also released a second game, as an added bonus.

We are about to release the game we won an award with!

It's a short little experience, about a pigeon spying for the government.

Throughout her exam, Beatrix is going to be slaying a lot of different Ignotum aliens.

Meet our first enemy: Swirly!

Despite the name, it's a vicious monster, with sharp teeth, wriggly tentacles and a long tongue.

The "Controller Icons" @godotengine.org plugin by @rsubtil.bsky.social has been INCREDIBLE.

But! Due to 1 (suspected) engine bug, there was a rare crash when using the GDScript plugin with C# Projects.

So I PORTED THE WHOLE THING TO C# TO FIX IT and it's free!

Guess who was on the radio to talk about making video games?

That's right, this guy

Was very nervous going in, but it honestly ended up being a great time.

There's a ring doorbell here ( alongside a regular one that isn't working ) and you can't use it, NOT EVEN AS JUST A REGULAR DOORBELL unless the person who set up the app adds you as a guest

Fuck my entire life

Why is this a thing

ITS A DOORBELL
