A look behind the curtains (or behind the canopy? 😜).
The collision geometry is completely rigid. To fake the look of physical response, the shader just has a single radial wave that is reinitiated for every impact detected.

I just got my copy! ☕☕🧟♀️🧟♀️
I am drunk on power after realizing Godot lets you embed textures in RichTextLabels, and well... ViewportTextures are textures. 🤯

Geometry Nodes are finally starting to make sense to me. This rules.
Popeye candy that looks like tiny cigarettes.
Healthy is relative, right. ;)

Are you all staying warm, out there in internet land?

Living here my whole life and I don't think I've ever seen "feels like -50" before, but here we are, 👀!
A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.
I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Pitching your game to print media? Here’s a thread full of tips!
