Much like how Expedia didn’t eliminate travel agents from the job market, freight marketplaces won’t eliminate freight brokers from the job market either. Freight marketplaces are merely an attractive alternative to hiring a broker. If you want somebody to take care of freight entirely on your behalf, then it still makes sense to hire a freight broker.

All Godot contributors are delighted to release our latest milestone today, Godot 3.3 , after more than 7 months of development! This release was initially planned as a 3.2.4 update to the 3.2 branch, but it grew to become a feature-packed update well worth of opening a new stable branch. While most development focus is on our upcoming Godot 4.0 release, many contributors and users want a robust and mature 3.x branch to develop and publish their games today , so it's important for us to keep giv

After going through Demo Day for Launch Pad (and getting more than a little bummed about not getting a dev grant) I’ve decided to throw myself back into working on my game – which has been neglected for far too long. Marketing might not pay off immediately, but jumping into something created by my own 2 hands pays off now … Except when you try to work, your wife – who is also working from home – gets slammed with an absolute Suez Canal sized shipping container of wo

We are all used to talking about famous names in the industry, we are used to talking in the directorial style of Tarantino , Nolan and Fincher. We also do not forget to talk about the people who are behind the brilliant shots of masters. However, filmmaking is not limited to humans. Cinema is a unique art where a person works closely with equipment.

In the aviation business, pilots go through a series of tasks at the beginning of every flight. It’s called the preflight checklist and it all happens before the plane ever leaves the tarmac. The idea is to ensure safety and make sure that nothing is accidentally left undone. Other industries could definitely benefit from the checklist mentality, and I consider crowdfunded board games to be among them.

One of the biggest changes was implemented was widescreen. From my previous game version, the resolution was at 1280×720, shown at the bottom of the image. And with the new resolution, 1920×1080, the game became more alive.

Howdy Godotters! It's time for another brief update on the status of Godot on the Web. If you read through the last post , you already got the spoiler that Godot 3.3 is getting experimental virtual keyboard support on the Web. This has been a highly requested feature, but also a hard one to implement (as you might also guess by the fact that most engines, even famous ones, do not support that).

If Apple really cared about iOS privacy they would give the user to ability to block any app from reaching the internet. A lot of the iOS apps I used have no need to ping the internet but they all do to gather metrics and do who-knows-what. Rather than create a complex and unenforceable privacy policy Apple should just let users block the app from using the internet.

Some minor housekeeping here: the free blog-to-email (RSS-to-email) service I use, Feedburner, was acquired by Google some moons ago and thus it is now discontinuing various services. such as its core blog-to-email service. So I've been forced to move all email subscribers to Mailchimp instead, which offers its own free blog-to-email service that it too will likely arbitrarily discontinue someday.

Many games companies struggle with how to use their metrics and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) effectively. They are conflicted because game metrics have two different purposes: Comparison and Improvement. Improvement. I use metrics to help games companies make better games.

For an upcoming project commission, I'm making a 2D game with crowd simulation and simple controls that works well on mobile browsers. (Reminder: for iOS, that means WebGL 1.0 and no WASM.) The engine should be able to render and simulate 200+ lightweight game objects -- frame-animated sprites with simple collision, no fancy physics or shaders.
