Dev Diary posts are made to teach game development through specific examples from my latest project: Highways & Byways. Just here for Highway s & Byways updates? Click here. Last week I talked about reaching out to board game reviewers. There are tons of reasons to get your board game reviewed, but they mostly coalesce into these two categories: proving you’re good and getting seen.

Here is a breakdown of Thimbleweed Park sales by store for 2017. This is based on dollars, not units, so mobile numbers will be smaller due to price. You can see how strong Switch is given it only had a few months of sales. The iOS and Mac App Store numbers are combined due to Apple lumping them together for payments. 75% of the money from Apple comes from iOS.

Before we start. This chapter is all about how I solved it (so far) to be able to place all kinds of assets like 3D-meshes or self-growing fractal seeds on the terrain. I have to admit that this gave me a lot of headaches especially when it came to performance issues. Keep in mind that we create new chunks every time the player comes near the border of the chunk she/he is currently walking on.

Here's another Release Candidate (RC) build on the way to 3.0 stable, fixing most of the remaining blocking bugs from RC 2. This RC 3 build corresponds to commit d50c0ef for the classical build, and commit 59e83af for the Mono build. The classical build is thus already a couple days old, due to the system we currently use to produce binaries being particularly slow lately (this will be worked on after 3.0 to improve the release workflow).

In all seriousness, I hope the rumors are true. I might actually see a Star Trek movie again.

Introduction. Thanks to our very supporting patrons I have the opportunity to work part-time on Godot! My work will be mostly about implementing an OpenGL ES 2.0 compatible rendering backend for Godot 3.1, as well as maintaining the GDNative system and bindings. The first month I spent on getting started and familiar with the rendering in Godot. Since I want to be able to help out with more rendering related tasks in the future, in places where existing code could be re-used, I am rewriting thos
