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. rawrlab.com/godot_nintendo_swi…

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

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 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.
