Had the idea of the main menu actually being Sadia's room and playing around with it. Gotta have to balance it being cozy and full with nerdy stuff while still being readable as a menu. Good thing I always keep things simple πŸ₯΄

Working on customization settings for the screen reader messages in #Soulblaze. Since there's a lot of details to keep track of during combat, some messages can be a bit long. You will be able to change the order of the elements or disable the ones you don't need.

Star of the Orient. A sketch for one of our ultimate cards in The Arab League of Misfits, honoring the iconic Egyptian diva.

2 more to go... Today it's Sindbad the Merchant, an ultimate card for our [redacted] type in The Arab League of Misfits. @zein.games gave us the wild idea of turning the high stakes of Arabic haggling into a game mechanic.

Not quite at 1500 yet, haha. That's a lot!

Does Lutris have network features? I thought it's for a single system. I can access RomM from all my devices, even download games directly to my Anbernic and sync saves. It's so useful 🀩

The RomM Project RomM is a self-hosted rom manager for your game collection.

Set up RomM on my homelab and damn it's nice for managing your Rom collection but I'm also using it to archive and organise my DRM-free games from Itch and GoG! Really neat stuff!

The reviews for Demon Tides are in and they are HOT!

I'm so glad everyone is having a grand time exploring Ragnar's Rock with Beebz and her crew! β™₯️

Hey friends!

I just released a new episode with Grayson Cotrell, a senior technical artist at Naughty Dog focused on real-time destruction in games.

Very true, our typing *does* create whole worlds!

But I have yet to see it making and floating over a cup of coffee to my desk πŸ€”

Currently reading Blood Over Bright Haven by M. L. Wang and dang, do I love the idea of mages literally programming spells on typewriters. That's so cool!

But yeah, probably moving my community server.

Yup! It's a great goal, Godot is FANTASTIC! πŸ₯³

Just one tip for web-builds, when creating the project select the "Compatibility" renderer instead the default "Forward+". Web build always exports in Compatibility and some shaders/particle features will not show.

Godot can export for web. I've made a web-based character creator before that worked well πŸ™‚

Hey y'all.

A South African dev released a blackity black game during BHM and it's currently getting the usual suspects in the reviews.

Imma grab this up myself anyway, but can we all be some chums and help push the racists out of the reviews? πŸ™‚
