While we're busy working on both the upcoming Godot 4.0 and 3.4 releases (with a dev snapshot for 3.4 beta 5 available now), we still cherry-pick important bug fixes to the 3.3 branch regularly for maintenance releases (see our release policy ). Godot 3.3.3 was released a month ago, and a handful of important fixes have been queued in the 3.3 branch since then.

Early one morning, a dragon was running through the town center, jumping over the puddles of water and burping nervously. The small green dragon, whose name is Pilipili, had sky blue spikes on his back that stood tall like mountains, tiny purple wings that didn’t help him fly at all! Big round eyes and a large smile covered his face. Pilipili was late for an important mission.

This week for Retro Game Friday I’m back with a classic JRPG. It’s Breath of Fire! Plot: The plot is pretty basic, it’s a standard “The Hero’s Journey” with the big draw of this series being that every character can either use a fantastic ability or can transform into a creature. Ryu for example can turn into a Dragon.

There are many aspects to consider when building a game. This requires a lot of knowledge, skills and time to build and integrate all the components. Fortunately the Unity 3D platform has a great selection of packages and assets to accelerate the build of tools, models, shaders, sound effects, animations etc. For the development of Math it Right 3D Adventure I’ve used the following Unity packages.

Introduction. Oftentimes, we ask ourselves the question, how do we want to store data in Unity? There is a high probability that you wanted to create a database and make it editable with ease for either a developer or a designer. There are a lot of ways of dealing with this problem, but the way we want to tackle this today is the most friendly from a Unity design perspective.

Twice in my career, I have been at the forefront of massive change. In 2000 , I was an Internet analyst at Deutsche Bank advising middle-aged men (and they were all men) on how this new nerdy Internet thing was going to change the world. It was three months before the dotcom crash. Valuations were stratospheric. It was possible to believe, as I did, that the Internet was a fundamental change to how the world worked AND that the majority of stocks were overvalued.

Art by @nadi_bulochka New times bring us new challenges. Almost 2 years ago a pandemic hit humanity and our beloved industry was suffering huge financial losses, but the film industry was able to overcome those difficulties and the era of streaming madness has arrived. At the same time, the speed and quantity of content consumption picked up tremendously as we found ourselves locked at home and for many it was an opportunity to experience the wonderful world of cinema.

In the past month, the team has been hard at work introducing the new native extensions system for Godot 4.0. GDExtension is a new implementation of the GDNative layer that allows the creation of compiled plugins for the engine. At its core, GDExtension is a C API that enables registration of classes implemented within a dynamic library. This allows dynamic libraries to be used by Godot in a way that is much better integrated than its predecessor, GDNative.

HERE THERE BE SPOILERS. Nothing unifies Mariner and Captain Freeman as readily as a common enemy, and this week we certainly get that in “ I, Excretus ,” which ostensibly pits the Lower Deckers against the bridge crew to test their competence. The episode’s twist doesn’t come as much of a surprise for anyone who’s seen “ Bem ,” the TAS episode that gave us the Pandronians in 1974, but seeing Mariner and Freeman once again join forces is always satisfying.

The following is an excerpt from the Designer Notes for Old World. The game, a historical 4X set in classical antiquity, released on July 1, 2021, and is available for purchase here. After finishing Civ 3 , I spent a long period of time engaged with the community to learn what they did and didn’t like about the game, with an eye towards the patches and a potential sequel down the road.
