The upcoming Godot 3.5 is now considered feature complete, and has received a lot of bugfixes and improvements over the past weeks thanks to all the testers and developers who reported and fixed issues. We are now at the Release Candidate stage, finalizing everything so that we can release 3.5-stable for all users. At this stage we need people to test this release (and potential follow-up RCs) on as many codebases as possible, to make sure that we catch non-obvious regressions that might have go

We have already established that script breakdown is a key stage in the preparation of any film. It is also quite obvious that a script breakdown makes it possible to start the scheduling of the shooting. However, in this process, we have so far avoided what both breakdown and scheduling are directly related to - budgeting. So today, Filmustage will define how to calculate a budget for your movie.

Summer is the time for children to unwind, relax, and take a break from their usual routines. They need to get outdoors and run around, see some friends and relatives, and enjoy being in different environments. However, parents are understandably worried about their children slipping through the cracks in terms of schooling. Parenting has always involved juggling kids’ competing needs to enjoy their childhood innocently while ensuring they’re prepared for adulthood.

Another couple of weeks, another alpha snapshot from the development branch, this time with 4.0 alpha 10 ! We're getting in 2-digit territory, both because 4.0 is a huge release that requires a lot of work, and because we're committed to providing dev snapshots frequently so that pre-release testers can quickly access the new features and bug fixes.

Hi, today we're going to dive back into the world of transnational directing. Last time we talked about the killer director's handwriting of Bong Joon-ho : check out our blog. Today, however, we're going to talk about the Taiwanese director and classic, Ang Lee. In our blog, we'll highlight the main features of Ang Lee's style. Disclaimer: our blog has no academic purpose behind it, because we are viewers just like you.

Recently I ran into a design problem. Some enemies in the game will be immune to bullets and you’ll have to use grenades. Of which you can only carry a few. What if you miss and run out? You’d have to restart the level. For a moment I considered loot drops. For something you’d be required to get they seemed too random and potentially frustrating.

It is not a secret that the game dev industry has become one of the most attention-grabbing in the entertainment field. What is particularly interesting there is a special way in which game developers tell stories through their interactive art. Simply put, games also may have a narrative, and it works in a very different way than in movies! First, of course, we want to define what narrative is.

TL;DR; I used to meet resistance to the idea that video game rules (usually expressed in the programming) and algorithms can be meaningful or important. I discuss four ways game rules can create meaning and/or have political implications. When I first started writing about video games, the humanities were probably at the peak of self-importance, and many of the theories we were taught were presented as timeless and universal for explaining all of human culture for all time.
