I’ve got to level with you – I am tired. It’s not for the usual 2020 reasons either. This year’s been a tough one, and it’ll definitely be an infamous one when the ink dries on the next generation’s textbooks. You’d think being locked up inside would leave me with an excess of time and no way to use it wisely.

I remember the first time I read this I just chuckled. That was 10 years ago and the myth keeps going. It's been printed (well, web printed) so many times that it is slowly going to become fact and I want to set the world straight. What is true. During the early days of Monkey Island I didn't have a name for Guybrush. We just called him the "guy". When Steve Purcell was doing concepts for "the guy" he was doing them in dpaint.

While the focus of Godot 4.0 Vulkan rewrite has largely been enhancements to the 3D engine, the 2D side will also see several improvements. Improved Performance. Thanks to Vulkan (which has a much lower draw-call cost than OpenGL), 2D itself in Godot 4.0 will see a speedup for free. But that's not the only reason, many internal improvements and optimizations also contribute to a smoother experience.

To dive deper into marketability, please check out our podcast with Joe Schaeppi (CEO of 12traits ) and Jesse Lempiäinen (CEO of Geeklab ). Three facts: 1. Marketability (CPIs) is the single most important metric of your business case 2. You can optimize marketability early on extremely cost-effectively 3. Most of the gaming studios fail to understand the first point until it is too late and thus refuse to concentrate on the second point.

Harvest Island Demo. Harvest Island New Trailer! Harvest Island Trailer Breakdown. I finally got to make a new trailer for the game. There’s a lot of changes that I had to make within the game before I could make a polished trailer and if you guys are keeping up with the game development, you can noticed the significant graphic improvements as well as the subtle details added.

Maria here again! Today’s post is the last of my “Top 5 Games” series. I hemmed and hawed over whether I would do it, too. If you haven’t noticed, the game Pandemic pulled a Jumanji and now we’re living it. But I decided that I would be remiss if I did not include it, as it was the first modern board game and it really reignited my love for board games.

Hi, I apologize for not updating the blog. I have not been feeling well these past months. I did in fact win a 2020 Women in Games Hall of Fame Award. I was completely flabbergasted and very grateful. Thank you so much to the people who voted. I need your help again because the SXSW and SXSW EDU Community Voting period is ending November 20, 11:59 PM, Pacific Time.

Funding is just the beginning. What are the biggest challenges and mistakes made by early stage companies when first attempting to scale? How does Supercell become Supercell, Playtika become Playtika, or EA become EA? Why not ask some of the people who were there as founders, investors, and key executives at those very companies? To speak to these issues we have arguably 3 of the best people in the world to talk about this: #1.

I use Microsoft's Azure to do cloud compiles of the c++ engine for my new game. For Thimbleweed Park builds were hand compiled which took a lot of time and was very error prone. More than once I made DEBUG builds rather than RELEASE builds or forgot to change some debug setting back. It's nice to have builds compiled in the cloud and know they are from a pristine environment each time.

While development keeps going at full speed towards Godot 4.0 (see recent devblogs on GDScript typed instructions and Complex Text Layout ), a lot of work is also being done on the 3.2 branch for the upcoming Godot 3.2.4. This new beta 3 build comes shortly after last week's beta 2 to fix some of the regressions and bugs reported against that release.

My name is Matias N. Goldberg , I normally maintain the 2.x branch of Ogre aka ogre-next and I wrote Betsy, a GPU texture compressor that runs on GPUs. This work was commissioned by Godot Engine through the Software Freedom Conservancy to solve a major complaint: importing textures is excruciantly slow and takes many minutes. Certain compression algorithms such as BC1-5 are quite simple and there are already fast high quality compression algorithms.

While development keeps going at full speed towards Godot 4.0 (see recent devblogs on GDScript typed instructions and Complex Text Layout ), a lot of work is also being done on the 3.2 branch for the upcoming Godot 3.2.4. Adding to the first beta version from last month ago, we now have even more great features coming in 3.2.4: Android App Bundle and subview embedding support. 2D batching for GLES3 (remember that we added it for GLES2 in 3.2.2), and improvements to GLES2's batching.

I'm Gordon MacPherson ( RevoluPowered ), a C++ contractor from the United Kingdom. I've worked in games for a while now, building upon general software development experience from electronics and RF equipment. I found Godot while working on personal game projects, and started being involved as a contributor a bit over a year ago. In particular, I was very lucky to work as a consultant at Prehensile Tales for IMVU 's Godot projects.

For the first time in four years I am slowly remembering a feeling known as calm. I look forward to Jan 21st when I can read the morning news and not feel a sense of dread. We now have two+ months of a narcissist ranting, blaming, and of course suing. Oh, he also has nukes. What was I saying about calm? Never mind that.
