@PetrikReads @binding_broken Ok I'm dumb, I didn't realize this battle was like 4 parts long...just got to this part. Thanks!

@barelyevengames @binding_broken Nope. Aeta fought Hadrian in this battle using Smythe's stolen sword. Picture attached. 🙂 (Spoiler for Howling Dark)

COVER REVEAL TIME! It is time to reveal the BOARD ART of @binding_broken edition of HOWLING DARK by Christopher Ruocchio. "The Battle on the Demiurge." Isn't it so BADASS!? If you've read this book, you'll know which scene this is. Cover art by Peng Lu AD by me & Ruocchio

Epic fantasy trained me to just keep reading -regardless of whether I love it or hate it. Eventually I'll either come to enjoy it or be too cowardly to quit. #StayMotivated

@miziziziz I've only ever bought the courses when discounted, but I didn't realize the creators weren't aware of the sale. That's messed up

just found out Udemy is doing some scammy thing where they make up a fake price for my courses and then give them a massive discount. Going to see if I can disable all their stupid 'sales' and just control it myself

My very special #Godot pumpkin! I've been casually learning the engine for about a year and I'll be doing my first game jam using the engine in 2 weeks. Wish me luck, and Happy Halloween to everyone!!

@thomasbrushdev Most of my Christian friends love horror just as much as I do, but I also agree with your point. Great horror allows us to confront evil in a safe environment and I think can be instrumental in bettering ourselves

As a Christian, I’ve met a lot of fellow believers who think it’s wrong I create horror movies and games. My immediate response is I’m creating the clearest expression of what Christians believe — the world is filled with horror and demonic influence. Then they say “well at-least don’t let the evil win at the end.” Of course, even this is silly. That’s a lie — plenty of people’s stories end with evil winning. I’m not going to be dishonest

@reduzio @godotengine Yes!! Thank you! Competition is great for the market, and having free and open source competitive alternatives is the best way to ensure big corporations can't take advantage of their customers.

@GingerNingersh I played a bunch a couple days ago and despite getting a nice score (compared to what's on there lol) I didn't show up on the leaderboards. Turns out my data was by default set not to share, so maybe that's the problem? Hopefully I'll show up soon

So far Starship Danger has 424 users on the leaderboards. Which is crazy it keeps going up everytime I check it, do people only have iPhones these days? Becuase Android has like 12... Where are you Adroid people at?

@GreyAlien Better than the original model they had? Of course not. But considering they were very publicly bleeding money on that model, something had to change, and a transparent fee that reflects that quality of the engine I think is a fair compromise.

I've been an indie dev since 2005 and have been using a language that I paid ~$80 for to make all my games. There's nothing good about this Unity deal.

I've never made anything with Unity, but competition in the market is always good. I hope Unity can get back on their feet and slowly build back that trust that they've lost.

@EngineerKappa I seriously get giddy anytime I'm playing around with the UI and can just insert themes buttons in organized tables. It's so beautiful

@reduzio @godotengine Ive been gradually learning Godot over the last 6 months or so, but I admit I've been caught up in the hype and it's lit a fire under me. I love this game engine

@FreyaHolmer Ok I admit I'm new to a lot of this, but doesn't GDscript use dictionaries which are basically just structs?

people suggesting to use GDScript instead of C# when it doesn't support structs or interfaces seems a little, odd I go out of my way to write performant and allocation free C# for my plugins, making heavy use of all its features, I doubt GDScript can measure up

@snowconesolid @unity Well they have to change something or they're going to go bankrupt, cancelling the plans would just put them back where they were before. I think most people don't mind paying a bit more for a service they love as long as it's transparent and fair

@unity Lol how hard is it to just cancel these plans entirely? “Making changes ” just means you’re trying everything in your power to keep the changes but reword it in a way that doesn’t sound as bad. What a story Unity.

We have heard you. We apologize for the confusion and angst the runtime fee policy we announced on Tuesday caused. We are listening, talking to our team members, community, customers, and partners, and will be making changes to the policy. We will share an update in a couple of days. Thank you for your honest and critical feedback.

@SidFishGames Awesome job! This looks like a bunch of fun 😀 going to play around with it a bit soon

Just released a chill puzzle game with Foster Turtle called Packing, play for free now on Itch. foster-turtle.itch.io/packing #gamemaker #gamedev #indiedev #vimjam4

@reduzio @joewintergreen @pineapple_works @W4Games It's impossible to do it baked into a free, open source engine because the console's code is not open source. The reason you need a third party is to pay the console developer for access to their porting tools/code. That's how I understand it anyway

@Barigamb738 I'm sure they're going to continue to trend down, but they're still close to where they were a year ago. It seems this 5% drop timing is more closely related to the CEO selling his 2000 shares. By comparison, it dropped 37% after they reported poor earnings last year

Massive L for Un*ty just what they deserve

@tccoxon Great points! Like most engines, Godot does certain things really well that unity doesn't and vice versa. It's all about getting the right tool for the job.

@CodeRed_dev Nice thing about an open source engine is that I'm confident we're going to get some great c# support very soon!!!

Godot should have good C# implementation and I'm sold

@ohsat_games What's a sale
