I created a giant banana in Blender and added it to my game. This is what peak game design looks like. #godot #solodev #banana #peakgamedesign #wow

I've been fairly commit-happy this last 12 months. With better commit etiquette (little, often, sensible), I think I can beat this.

I know X-Files took a lot from Twin Peaks, but directly copying and pasting their characters is... something.

Another day, another frustrating #Godot UI bug. Things line up fine when in editor mode, then just randomly misplace themselves when running the game.

I asked Google's Gemini, and it seems to think the workaround is... manually switch back to 3D each time (literally hundreds of times). 🙃

In other news, I got to this point in Baby Steps, got right across to the other side of the spade, before it tipped over and sent me falling (to where I spent 30 mins getting up away from). I don't want to play this game any more. 😫

*phew* OK, rage abated, Google Drive automatically creates versions of saved files. I managed to get back the correct version (and made sure to create another backup). I have no idea why that happened. Windows/MacOS can't read a timestamp? Just decides to randomly save over things? Great work.

The form validation doesn't work, no visual feedback to the user, random 48 code, broken validation... and then they're like - that's $100 please.
I doubt you could come up with a more hostile way of asking for money.

I watched a Lord of the Rings Online video on YouTube last night and was compelled to see if I could roll back time to 2007. Seems I can't as the log-in UI is the size of a postage stamp and the sign up page 503s 😀😭

So I've been chipping away at my first Godot game for the last few months in my spare time. I'm still early on for what I want to implement, and largely still figuring everything out... but here's a quick work-in-progress for my game about... rolling balls.

I'm going to create a feature request to #Godot to let developers know that sometimes there IS a theme in play, even when it kinda says there isn't...

Sweet lord, I finally figured it out. There's a global theme (set in the project settings, which I don't think is mentioned when viewing the Godot UI properties) which sets a custom separation width for HBoxContainer. Oh man🤦♂️.

It still doesn't expand, unfortunately. If I set a Custom min size for the label, the gap between the Star and the Label remains the same size, just the Label gets wider. 🫠

I'm guessing this must be something to do with the parent controlling things?

Duolingo just tells users when they're right or wrong, but never *why*. If you want to know *why* you're wrong, you have to have to pay extra to get AI to explain - another example of shady fucking business decisions.
