All you need to know about Davos/WEF where genocide is a business opportunity

@rahul__gh0sh @scottpetrovic So why not just help out with mesh2motion then. I’m sure they’d appreciate any help/contributions?

@graphific @scottpetrovic I do mention it on the site i had to rebuild everything on nextjs with react The post is to mainly figure out if people want this software out there

Indie game devs — I’m building a browser-based character rigging + animation tool. This is a quick prototype demo. I’m looking to talk to a few devs about animation workflows. No pitch. Replies or DMs open. #gamedev #indiedev #animation

‘Indonesia calls in military to help clear Papua forests at rapid pace.’ The conversion of vast tracts of pristine nature to monocultures by the Indonesian government is the world’s largest current nature destruction project. Suicidal humanity ft.com/content/27a6bd… via @ft

Related to music eg punk, Indy means self published OR published though indy labels (meaning smaller DIY type operations). Maybe nice solution for games as well, eg devolver, raw fury, etc as indy publishers/labels

@protopop Totally! I think it’s also helpful to think about it as a self-label, as in how you think about the game you’re making and people/team/collaborators you’re making it with.

What do indie devs without million dollar budgets call ourselves now that the meaning of the term has changed?

Personally I’d see it more as a continuum solodev > Indy > a > aa >>> aaa

@protopop Kinda comes back to a discussion that’s been going on for a while now: does Indy mean self published as it used to mean, or “independent” as in not tied to larger corporations or teams free-er for experimentation? So more related to budget or team size?

Despite the controversy, Horses is only shocking if you're unfamiliar with the history movies, theater, literature, or basically any art form that does not have stats. aftermath.site/horses-indie-g…

Since yarn spinner viewer explodes on big scripts, I'm making my own terminal yarn parser with snapshotting (save/resume, jumping to specific nodes), live variable editing, being able to revert and jump back from dialogue choices, hot reloading and more #gamedev

Having a lot of fun using and adapting the #yarnspinner visual code extension. Gave the legacy graph view some love, code being maintained at github.com/graphific/VSCo… – auto layout options – basic text formatting – custom speaker colors etc. #gamedev

@spimortdev Congrats on the release. TerraBrush is going places!

HUGE NEWS for my terrain plugin for Godot called TerraBrush! The version 0.14.0 Alpha is OUT and is now a FULL GDExtension!🥳 You can also try it without Godot on itch (link in the comments 👇)! DevLog link also in the comments! #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

COP30 Isn't a Failure — It's a Farce. Why these climate summits can’t solve the crisis—and why we should support Indigenous land struggles instead. inthesetimes.com/article/cop30-…

The COP process has been utterly compromised by the fossil fuel lobby for years The climate COPs have long been unfit for purpose, and - across 3 decades - have not stopped emissions climbing and have done next to nothing to demand fossil fuel use ends theguardian.com/environment/20…

@worldcreator3d now exports to @godotengine using Terrain3D. WC is commercial software that makes realistic terrains. Currently you can import heightmaps and textures. We are starting to work with them to help them add foliage, refine their importing process, and hopefully improve Terrain3D. The pictures are rendered in WC. Here is their Godot Bridge doc showing the process. docs.world-creator.com/reference/expo…

Scientists, stop amplifying COP30 & the lies around it! Lula is expanding oil&gas in the Amazon, backing agribusiness & cattle growth, close to JBS’s Batista brothers, supporting mining like the giant Potássio do Brasil project in Autazes & pushing the destructive BR-319 highway.

@spimortdev I got a m1 laptop, happy to have a look: just the latest main branch?

I'm doing the last tests for TerraBrush as a GDExtension, everything seems to be working fine! Someone is doing godot gamedev on MacOs and wants to try it? I don't have a Mac so I can't confirm it works 😬 #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev
