Over engineering Godot's Signal system to deal with ConfirmationDialog's lack of unified signal for dialog closed 🀝 #Godot #gamedev

Version 0.4 is out, now with a nice animated background to chill while you drink your fresh water 😎 Also, a 16/9 in incremental DB is definitely a personal record! :D #gamedev www.incrementaldb.com/game/drink-w...

To my honest surprise, this is doing nice numbers, time for a QoL/UI update? πŸ€” #gamedev

Ok it's very dumb, but I made it available in itchio with quite some bugs, try it! #gamedev aballano.itch.io/water-drinki...

Just "vibe coded" this little incremental game using Gemini 2.5 and my 0 knowledge of javascript and p5.js. I don't even want to look at the code πŸ˜‚ but so far it's being a fun experience of telling what to implement next, although I'm missing a proper IDE integration

Very proud of this small designed and #3Dprinted gadget to hold my Ikea's greenhouse lid. Prints in place with working hinge and needs some tree supports for the hook. Took me ~3h to design and ~1h to print on my new #X1C 😍

I wish I could capture the smell and not only the colors.

We went plant shopping. Our favorite kind of shopping🌱

UNDERTALE is on sale for $1. If you're a bluesky user who hasn't played this game - now is the best time to join the other 99% of people on this website and pick it up. store.steampowered.com/app/391540/U...

Godot 4.4 released πŸŽ‰ Thank you @godotengine.org & @godot.foundation team for providing the base for #indiegamedevs to make fun games for us to talk about! godotengine.org/releases/4.4/ #gamedev #indiegamedev

My latest #gamedev sidetrack is that I discovered a neat Discord bot API made in Kotlin and I'm playing with it with no specific purpose πŸ˜‚ Cannot not-love any API that looks like this for prompt-response interactions by using coroutines 😍 github.com/DiscordKt/Di...

Great video covering essential math concepts for game developers in just 20 minutes. Link in reply. #gamedev #unity3d #unrealengine #godot

There should be a list of generic #gamedev MUST-DO for games promoting best practices like grouping equal items as enums in generic scenes, menus in a standarized way (I'm thinking on iOS/Android guidelines here :D) or straightforward ways of saving game data with optional encryption.

Remember #godot #gamedevs out there, if you don't want the sound control of your games to work like Bluesky's audio control in videos, where at ~40% you can barely hear the sound anymore... remember to map your slider's linear values to proper DB values: `linear_to_db` and `db_to_linear` FTW!

Quick #GodotEngine tutorial πŸ€– Did you know that there are more ways to export properties in GDScript than just the base `@export var`?

I'm currently looking for a new fit remote, Android development contract role. I have over 15 years of Android development experience, and bring lots of positive energy to the team. Although I'm based in the UK, I'm set up to work for companies based anywhere. I have immediate availability.

#GodotEngine #GodotTips: Did you know that you can interact with objects like they were dictionaries? The docs only mention "is property in object" type checks. But...

Hey #gamedev can you share your #indiegame ? I want to play ▢️ a game or support one πŸ€

Sooo it seems adding a save feature wasn't that bad at the end! Managed to save player's inventory, quests and world state (interactions, unlocks, etc) in one night. Also went a bit rogue and added a little hacky code to display the saved game day on the menu 🀭 #godot #gamedev
