Eeep. Just discovered I had unknowingly added 10s of MBs worth of variable font data to my game after clicking `Make Unique` in #Godot to tweak font weight. Time to clean that up. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Provide `theme` inheritance information in Godot's UI control properties. ยท godotengine godot-proposals ยท Discussion #13017 Problem There is currently very little information given to a Godot developer regarding theme inheritance. This leads to confusion when a section of Godot's UI suggests there is no theme applied to...

I've always thought the theming in Godot is a lot more confusing than it should be. It would be great to learn from what web-debugging CSS tools have evolved into.

I'm trying to give The Fall Guy a go... surprising that a film about stunts can be so flat and dull.

For some reason, I just remembered this song from MTV2 in the late 90s / early 00s. I had to Google "chainsaw song" and hope for the best - found it and it's still great!

I'm rewatching Alex Garland's Devs at the minute. It's really great and also incredibly fucking bleak.

Godot Engine - Free and open source 2D and 3D game engine Godot provides a huge set of common tools, so you can just focus on making your game without reinventing the wheel.

Indeed you can! Nice and easy as well. There's a .NET option in the downloads screen. godotengine.org

I'm using Godot with C# - you don't need to learn GDScript. I've dabbled with Unity, but found Godot a lot easier to get into!

I'm watching Highlander for the first time in aaaaages. People talk of Christopher Lambert's accents, but it was bold of Clancy Brown to play his character with an American accent in 1536 Scotland.
