Last week I participated in the Godot Wild Jam #75, a week long game jam to make something from scratch in the #Godot engine. It went well! Here’s a recap of how it went:

Needed to add some damping to the movement in my game jam game so I fired up @freya.bsky.social 's excellent talk and ended up watching it in its entirety, again. It stuck a lot better in my brain this time too! www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSNQ...

cool cool cool, that was easy (I used this, which I hope isn't sketchy: github.com/lucahammer/t...)

Taking a break from game jamming to do a bit more Twitter cleanup. Had to dust off the ol' solo game dev studio account and set it up here on Bluesky too. Side note: domain verification for handles is super neat and easy and clever. Hi @goingloudstudios.com !

As a reminder (thread with details below) if you have a Twitter account I recommend deleting it before November 15 to avoid being subject to the new terms of service. If you're so much as considering doing this, I recommend requesting an archive *RIGHT NOW* as it takes 24 hours to generate.

I've been out of the game-making game for too long and 'dabbling' hasn't been enough to shake off the rust. Time for a chill game jam! I'm doing itch.io/jam/godot-wi... Progress so far: a basic block breaking arcade game. The plan is to make something simple and practice adding juice 🧃

I'm (mostly) having fun learning Godot these days! My least favorite thing is figuring out if I'm misunderstanding how something works, or finding out that it isn't working as intended. But! My first reported issue just got closed: github.com/godotengine/... That's really dang cool 😎
