Godot 3.4 was released 2 months ago , and some of the major planned features for Godot 3.5 have since been merged and are now ready for wider testing. So we're starting the beta testing phase with this already significant set of changes, and we'll have frequent beta builds to polish them for the stable release. Some more features are still being worked on and will be included in future beta builds.

Puzzle Strike 2’s base set includes 10 characters and two different community banks decks. Each bank deck changes the feel of the game. Those decks are Grand Melee and Birthday Bash: In this article, I’ll explain the thinking behind the Grand Melee deck. Think of Birthday Bash as a steak with a distinctive steak sauce, while Grand Melee doesn’t need the sauce; it allows the natural flavor of the meat to come through.

(This is a humor piece I wrote a long time ago. It is objectionable. Posting this is part of an experiment. The second part comes out next week.) As anyone who has been paying attention knows, the most important single element holding American culture together is serial killers. Those crafty fellows are everywhere, with their wily ways, their suave manner, and their masks made of skin.

Welcome to a new Godot showcase developer interview to start off the new year! This time, we asked Justin Arnold about his experience developing and releasing his project RPG in a Box.

When working with ink, it can be tempting to make an entire project one long file. This can often lead to thousands of lines of ink code and complications with debugging. Trying to find the exact place where a problem is happening can be incredibly frustrating.

It is no mystery that the goal of any film is to make the viewer believe in the fictional world on the screen. Of course, this is not true of documentary films, but believe us, there are genres of documentaries that blur the line between fiction and reality. But we'll talk about that some other time. The fact is that we don't even think about the path that each film takes during production.

Hey all I’m back for this week’s Anime Sunday with a look at the upcoming season. It’s my Most Anticipated Winter 2022 Anime! Pupil of the Wise Man: So I was expecting this to air last season, as you might have noticed in my post a few months back, but it turns out I missed the announcement of it being set to air this season instead. This is a delightfully fun Isekai/LitRPG series that has a gender-bent main character because he wanted to make the “Cutest” avatar ever with a RMT item he had on a

Hello! It's January 2022. Though I haven't been updating the blog, that doesn't mean I wasn't presenting or doing interviews.

HERE THERE BE SPOILERS. Prodigy steps into the vacuum left by Discovery ’s hiatus, and offers us a tantalizing glimpse into what might be the season’s endgame. However, what I liked most about the episode was how it used the Kobayashi Maru exam. The Maru has a long and storied history in Trek , first appearing in The Wrath of Khan and then playing a significant role in 2009’s Star Trek.
