The engine I use & the game I'm making #godot #indiegame #gamedev

@KenneyNL @Hoxydav The joke is : many, many people use the money and time they are owed after being fired to learn game dev.

Do you know pôle emploi @KenneyNL

@noio_games Could just be something simple like unblocking a passageway behind the logs 🤔

always tricky to find like.. a gameplay purpose for this kind of fun stuff but maybe we just let it be fun? without making the player 'solve' something?

@andreintg @_Undergroundies @castpixel You didn't give any context, but sure, specific use cases I agree it can make sense. Using it as a fancy auto complete is a nice time saver. Using an agent to write entire files is way above the abstraction of any visual code editor. I assumed we were talking about the latter.

@_saminton @_Undergroundies @castpixel I don't know how you formed this opinion but I suspect you've mostly seen idiots around here saying they vibe coded an entire game with a prompt. I use it for algos. AI for coding is just like any other abstraction. The higher you take it, the less personal the result will be.

so far had close to ZERO conversations with folks that are anti AI. The convo usually starts with someone attacking, I reply explaining my point of view, then either no responce, or more attacks, or I get blocked (hi Kenney : )

@andreintg @_Undergroundies @castpixel Bad argument 🤦. Visual coding requires you still learn concepts. With that logic you could say why use an engine when you can code one yourself. Every project skips some corners, you can't do/know everything. AI on the other hand let's you skip every corner...

@_Undergroundies @castpixel is someone using visual programming lazy because they did't learn how to write code? Or does it only apply to AI? asking for a friend 🫣

@cvaneenige @raycast is my go to

Finally replaced my M1 Air with a new M5 Air (base model). Planning to use it as my daily driver for now. Any recommendations for must-have apps?

@atmoio I'd love to believe that things can be just like in the world of guitar pedals. You have huge companies pumping out basic but still good pedals. But there's also a market of hand crafted stuff that people are willing to buy at a premium. I just don't see it happening with code...

I was a 10x engineer. Now I'm useless.

@marcokueks @theo @atmoio Likely the same feeling yes, but not the same outcome. A painting and a photo are two different things allowing them to coexist. Here the output IS the same. What is the point of coding by hand when you can get the same result 20x faster ?

@theo @atmoio i think it is how artist felt when photography came out

@Djawaaw Been following brekekekex too, can't wait to give it a go. Hadn't heard of No vacation for an executioner, looks intriguing, I'll have to give the demo a go.

@_saminton Didn't thought about it so I had to check for some time 😹 Brekekekex and No Vacation For An Executioner are definitely top contenders. (Also Sword Hero, but it doesn't feel even feel "indie" anymore scale-wise)

How seasick does this make you ? #indiegame #godotengine #screenshotsaturday

@Djawaaw What are the other two ? 🥰

@_saminton Top 3 of Indie Games I'm most hyped for that I saw on X. The atmosphere looks incredible.

@pwlot @thomasbrushdev @exQUIZitely Such a cool vibe, and love the soundtrack of the trailer 😍

@thomasbrushdev My favorite Next Fest demo is Holstin: store.steampowered.com/app/2235430/Ho… Awesome old school Bureau 13 (old game) vibe, great atmosphere and dialogue.. just really hit the nostalgic spot for me. @exQUIZitely you might like it...

My feed is just tons of indie games, all day. Yall are making some incredible projects. I’m just shocked how creative tiny teams can be. Let’s go!!!! What are some games you’re just really impressed by

@JanOrszulik Yeah don't think I could take that either 🤢

@_saminton Unless it would be in VR, then probably VERY

@hinrichbo @thomaspaulmann @farsn_ @sawyerhood @glazeapp Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose when anyone can prompt what you've built themselves 🤔

@thomaspaulmann @farsn_ @sawyerhood @glazeapp Can you get revenue from publishing apps?

i gotta see if you can vibe code wisprflow in this

@s2dd98 Of Salt and Solace (still wip)

@_saminton What game is this?

Colours

@KenneyNL @PixelGhaith The main gripe I had with unity was the amount of times I'd start using a feature only to run into a bug and find it's no longer maintained, with no other solution than building it myself or using a paid solution from the store.

@PixelGhaith They are. A few things that frustrated me; - Confusing, lots of settings everywhere - Didn't really notice any improvement in performance at all - Different versions, some methods were deprecated or replaced already, again, confusing

I tried URP a few weeks back and was so insanely frustrated that I changed the whole project back to built-in. Oh, did you know there's not just 3 render pipelines, there's also different versions with different features?

Wasn't expecting this to make such a big difference, subsurface scattering looks too good 😮 #screenshotsaturday #GodotEngine
