For sixteen years now, Grumpy Gamer has been 100% April Fools’ joke free. I’m a little disappointed the gaming press hasn’t caught onto this. You’d think it would be a good human interest story. Oh well, maybe I should do a Twitch channel ranting about April Fools’ day. I’m only on once a year. If there is any good to come out of this horrible COVID-19 disaster, it’s that most big outlets have canceled their April Fools’ pranks.

Board game development is incredibly complex. To create a board game from start to finish , think of everything you have to do: Come up with a board game idea and design a game around it. Create rules and mechanics that help you express your idea in the best way possible. Play-test the game until it feels right. Find artists. Create digital print files of your game.

As promised in my previous post, the core refactoring work I am undertaking took two months to complete. This means rewriting large parts of the core engine for consistency and features. Core refactoring. Core refactoring is mostly work on the most low level, critical and shared parts of the engine. This work is done only on major versions because it implies breaking compatibility and introducing instability and bugs (because of all the new added code), which is actually the case right now.

After 15 years of defeating one apocalypse after another, Sam and Dean are finally taken down by a real one. With only two episodes left in the 15 year run of the series, production has been shut down due to CORVID-19. Two episodes! Supernatural has been one of my guilty pleasures for two episodes shy of 15 years. My guess is they will turn it in to a crappy comic book for the final two episodes.

Speaking with a friend the other day and I was talking about how being confided to my house doesn’t really change my life or my work too much. I suppose that a sad reflection on my life. I just don’t go out much. I’m a life-long introvert, so I don’t crave the company of groups or a wild social life. I have a few very close friends and we continue to talk.

To get the Start to Finish series going, I’ve spent some time discussing games, game development, and the amount of careful messaging that is needed to create and sell a great game. At this point, you may be beginning to have some healthy doubts about the benefits and drawbacks of self-publishing a game. After all, if you self-publish, you are responsible all these decisions and their results!

Monopoly: it’s one of the oldest board games in the store. It’s one of the top 10 best-selling board games. There are over 1,144 versions of it on the Monopoly wiki. It’s also a terrible board game. Oof. There’s a good chance I offended you with that last statement, but it’s important. Monopoly has a staggeringly low 4.4 out of 10 on BoardGameGeek.

Do you know when exactly Unity releases the memory your game assets take? Most game developers wrongly assume "when you stop using them" (whatever using means). This assumption might unpredictably have negative consequences. so let's find out.

Update (2020-03-24): The API has updated a little bit to reflect a problem explained in this pull request. Update (2021-10-28): You can find a documentation page about Sky shaders in the Godot documentation. A common problem facing users in Godot 3.x was the inability to create dynamic skies that update in real time. We aim to change that by introducing sky shaders.

Our current stable version, Godot 3.2, was released at the end of January as a major upgrade to all features and the usability of the engine. But as with any software release, there are always things that can still be improved and bugs that can be fixed, and as such we plan to release frequent maintenance releases for the 3.2 branch, to make it ever more enjoyable and reliable to work with.

Time flies and it's already close to two weeks since our first release candidate for the upcoming Godot 3.2.1, which will be a maintenance update focusing on bug fixes for Godot 3.2 users. I planned to have 3.2.1-stable already released by now, but I was sidetracked by the refactoring work which is happening in the master branch for Godot 4.0 :-). Since RC 1, a couple regressions have been fixed, and a few additional bug fixes, documentation updates and usability enhancements have been included.
