I think this is quite an interesting video. Would love to have source code to compare. IMO it's not really a Godot vs Unity performance comparison, but more of a Microsoft CoreCLR C# (what Godot uses) vs Unity Mono C#.

I feel many who theorized about C# performance in Godot really forgot how much better the Microsoft version is, to the point you have to use ECS in Unity to match regular C# code in Godot.

Okay we're back to this stage of things at least, where generating random areas are at least aware of each other's borders...

Currently obsessed with how 2/3rds of the screen in OutRun is just sky.

Managing a game dev community with GitHub Actions: fascinating look at the devops infrastructure supporting A Little Game Called Mario, a Godot platformer anyone can contribute to https://github.blog/2022-07-06-managing-a-game-dev-community/

my oldest kid has been working on a Sonic fangame in Godot for years, and it's pretty cool :3

I got a full boot of the 500kloc game core on Godot, it's feeding frames and waiting on input.

The rest is "just work"; though there is a substantial amount of work in the VFX/sound/UI rigging, the derisk is complete.

14 hours.

started putting together my own sky shader in Godot last night, starting with atmospheric scattering - gonna need a day-night cycle anyway so :D #madewithgodot #cargame

In Godot you can keyframe FUNCTIONS. You can create functions to handle bullets, snapping or any other thing and call this functions from a simple animation. Allowing your non programming folks to create complex behaviors using only the animation player.

TIL Unicode actually comes with an official character "�" (U+FFFD, REPLACEMENT CHARACTER) which they recommend for replacing corrupted or otherwise broken input characters.

Birds can’t “peep” or “cheep” or “chirp” because p is a plosive and birds don’t have lips I will not be taking questions

There were dozens of Black classical composers in 19th-century New Orleans, but they had few opportunities to present their compositions around the world, and that means their works have been largely forgotten — until recently. Atlas Obscura reports how OperaCréole, founded in 2011 by Black mezzo-sopranos Givonna Joseph and her daughter Aria Mason, is giving life to lost works as "an act of restorative justice."

I've finally updated SpriteMesh to Godot 4.0, a plugin that creates voxel-style meshes using pixel art as input. You can check it out here:

I've spent too much time creating the demo, but I'm glad I did because I found many bugs thanks to it!

The sprites I used in the demo can be found here, and they were made by Pixel-Boy and AAA:

‘The researchers found that there was no “sweet spot” where a woman could position herself without being criticized. Women were either too young or too old, too attractive or not attractive enough, too educated or not educated enough. Introverted women were not seen as leaders and extroverted women were viewed as aggressive. They ultimately found that women leaders were “never quite right.”’
