@hoveringskull.bsky.socialCustom resources are some of the most powerful tools for expressing data relationships and authoring content in #Godot!
@hoveringskull.bsky.socialSame same (except I love math!)
@hoveringskull.bsky.social@hoveringskull.bsky.socialThank you for reminding me to book a dentist appointment 😬
@hoveringskull.bsky.socialThanks! It's what I aim for. Looking forward to see what you make.
@braktheman.bsky.socialReposted by @hoveringskull.bsky.social@hoveringskull.bsky.social Been trying to reacquaint myself with Godot the past few weeks and been bingeing a bunch of your vids. Just wanted to say keep up the good work!
Good seeing Godot content that isn't so dry.
@hoveringskull.bsky.socialCongrats on the progress, glad it's helping!

@hoveringskull.bsky.socialOne problem with AI #gamedev well articulated by @indiegameclinic.bsky.social :
“Being able to work faster than your skill level is bad for game design, regardless of whether you have good ideas or not”

@ryannorth.caReposted by @hoveringskull.bsky.socialPompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

@hoveringskull.bsky.socialThis September, as a tactical rpg nut, I am: [ ] playing Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. [ ] playing Zero Company. [x] recreating the cast of Twin Peaks in XCom2
@hoveringskull.bsky.socialPLEASE STOP MAKING UGLY GENERIC GODOT UI! This ends now.
I made a (quick) crash course on setting up modular Godot UI. It covers theming, behaviour, layout and UI composition.

@hoveringskull.bsky.socialNeat breakdown of damage reduction math in RPGs: youtube.com/shorts/IzHAj...
A lot of games with multiple units and less "progression" choose to use a simpler approach (see Starcraft, Fire Emblem, XCom) -- probably because you're likely to have SOME unit who can do damage.
@hoveringskull.bsky.social@hoveringskull.bsky.socialNot sure what went wrong with that last line, should be: "allow me to sketch out an alternative, using scoped, hierarchical, transitionable contexts"
@hoveringskull.bsky.socialAutoloads are a huge convenience in #Godot -- but as games get bigger, they can become a huge mess. Allow me to sketch out an alternative, where scope hierarchical, transitionable contexts
@hoveringskull.bsky.socialCoding with AI isn't useless, but if you lean on AI as you learn to code, you won't develop the muscle to solve the hard problems AI can't solve.
also it's fun to learn
