Exactly one year ago we published our Development Fund, which has since helped propell our project forward.
Big thank you to all who believe in the future of free, open-source projects like our game engine here.

#gamedev update--
I started this project as a "let's learn Godot" project while I was jobsearching, and as it became more and more obvious that the market was in way too weird a position for someone like to me to find something easily (definitely not junior, but an eclectic enough background that I think people don't know what to make of me sometimes), I began to explore.
I had this idea for a bullet-hell but if you touched enemies it turned in to a turn-based RPG battle, and I explored it as best I could.
But I think what I've found was, I've long since passed the scale of complexity with this idea that I could finish as a solo dev.
I think there's a ton of potential here, but I'm feeling stuck. I think in order to move forward and ship -something- (an increasingly common application requirement) I need to cut the innovative stuff and just put out a fun little minimalist roguelike bullethell and call it a day.
fedi gamedevs, any thoughts about this? I've been too deep in the weeds for too long.
This is pretty neat! Steam making demo releases behave essentially like F2P releases doesn't really erode space indies were leveraging. In fact it shoulders in on a space currently dominated by uhhhh mostly garbage.
Going to start doing some daily Godot tips, both to force me to look for cool things the editor does so I can use it myself and to help out anyone else. Also will be posting them on programming.dev/c/godot
First up for day 1: You can hold ctrl and drag a node from the scene into a script to automatically create an onready variable for that node

Experiment: single palette (4 colour) #NES art. Drew in krita, then tidied up in aseprite and NEXXT until he fit into the NES restrictions.
Every 8x8 pixel region of the display has to show one tile from the limited tilemap (top right of image), so it's important to reuse tiles where possible. It's a bit like a jigsaw puzzle where you draw the pieces yourself.. and can reuse the same piece many times #gamedev
