Well, it finally happened! After 9 years of Unity dominance, Godot was the most used game engine for GMTK Game Jam 2026 submissions. 🤖 Godot - 47% 🎮 Unity - 34% 🛠️GameMaker - 5% 🚀 Unreal Engine - 3% ✨ Other - 11%

Pie chart showing game engines used to create 10,511 GMTK Game Jam games in 2026. Godot has the largest slice with 47%. Then Unity with 34%. Other with 11%. Game Maker with 5%. And Unreal Engine with 3%.

I've been wanting sketches of silly ideas, but not enough to go through the process of filling a commission form. Is having an artist on retainer a thing? and like paying a monthly invoice for x amount of work?

Gem charms have arrived, set of 10 (1 for me). I wanted to see how it looks. The design is Ichigo + org lily of the valley concept from LGBT+ designs. Other gem charms will be available later. +More shapes Ichigo specifically will be listed soon 🔽

Since vtubing, i've dreamed of starting a small studio (5-6 people), but now that i can start, how do i start? Do i create the website and an application form? Do i reach out to artists directly? I'm low-key afraid of offending an artist if i don't have something of value to offer.

Big news and big changes coming. I hope you all will still continue on this journey with me, as it turned out my birthmonth celebrations was a going away party of sorts; I got offered an opportunity for something i've been working towards the past few years.
