Godot Engine gets a free Nintendo Switch port for game devs
Here's one less reason for game developers to skip over using the free and open source Godot Engine, as it now has a free port available to bring games over to the Nintendo Switch.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Hrm. So #Godot has a MIT licensed port you can request via the Nintendo dev portal! That's rad!
Though in #GameDev licensing terms, how can they MIT license it? Wouldn't that mean anyone with access could upload it publicly? Which then violates Nintendo NDAs. https://www.rawrlab.com/godot_nintendo_switch_free_port.html

31% of devs already using AI and the PC platform is looks strong from GDC Survey
The annual GDC Survey is out now and it's an interesting look into what developers are up to, and how the industry is changing and some of the info this time around is pretty eyebrow raising.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

GPU Reshape is a fancy new open source tool for developers
A fresh announcement for developers today is GPU Reshape, a free and open source tool that could be really useful for game developers working with Vulkan and DirectX 12 to deal with potentially undefined behaviour.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
My wife @sabcatsilver, a psychology student, created a card game that helps therapists (and people) talk about grief, end of life care, and perspectives on life.
I am soooooo proud of her!! Currently it’s a prototype for class, but she may publish it in the future. Thanks to folks who helped on Mastodon! We got it printed on GameCrafter

Unity cutting 25% of staff (about 1,800 people) as part of restructuring
Ouch. We're only just into week 2 of 2024 and Unity Software are cutting away a huge amount of their staff, as things aren't looking great for the Unity game engine.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

You know, I really miss Raptr: the service that allowed you to track, compare, and share game achievements and play stats cross-platform. I wish I had something like Letterboxd for games, something I could use to centrally catalog my vast cross-platform game collection, track my backlog, and organize my collection, and also use it to shit-talk achievement comparisons and completion stats with my son.

I'm testing a Steam devcomp which has a Linux depot and a Windows depot, but weirdly, my Steam Deck would download the Windows depot by default.
I asked Steam about this, and they said that only Steam Verified games would download the Linux build by default.

I've been making more use of GDQuest's emacs package this last week and... wow, #GameDev is suddenly a much more pleasant experience. Being able to use tools I'm comfortable with and just open Godot to edit levels or run the game is quite nice.

I released my Narrat Jam 2 game yesterday ✨ I made a lazy post about it at 2am but I was sleepy and it wasn't great, so here's more info.
🍂 A walk through the forest 🍂
Playable on 
This is a game where you walk through a forest, looking at pictures and identifying plants.
It is not at all a game about random ramblings of my brain 
It's meant to be a chill reflective experience that hopefully will fill your brain with thoughts.
