Daily reminder that GDscript supports the Sumerian clay table alphabet, Akkadian cuneiform of ancient Mesopotamia. This is perfectly valid code you can write in your game:

Anyone have favourite software for making YouTube thumbnails? My workflow is generally around filtering and compositing existing owned images and laying out text. I've been using Krita and it's FINE but the UX really sucks. Photoshop is good, but really dislike a sub model. #youtube #opensource #art
Similarly, in Kenney Jam about 55% of all entries were made using @godotengine.org!

All right, #KenneyJam update 11: It's all wrapped up and I've had lunch and touched grass. Play my cool game here, it's about raising a dragon and building a wizard tower/economy itch.io/jam/kenney-j... #gamedev #indiedev #gamejam #indiegame #simtower #machikoro #tamagotchi

#KenneyJam update 8: I made a shitty tutorial but it's full of ugly placeholder so gonna have to do it again. #gamedev #indiedev #gamejam #godot
#KenneyJam update 7: I've built out MOST of the mechanics of the game, as well as about 20ish wizardly ROOMS. Now I gotta tutorialize this and work on UI and polish... then sound and music
Update 6 for #KenneyJam. Stepped away for lunch and to do some prioritization. 24 hours ish to go! #gamejam #gamedev #indiedev
Update 4 for #KenneyJam building up this WIZARD TOWER. it's gonna be like SimTower, but good.
Update 3 for #KenneyJam A wizard needs a cozy tower, and also a room for his growing dragon I think this game is going to be SimTower + MachiKoro + Tamagotchi (but also way less Japanese than those 3 things) #gamedev #indiedev #gamejam
Update 2 for #KenneyJam An ISLAND fit for a GREAT WIZARD
Update 1 for #KenneyJam I've got an idea. It's about scaling up a wizardly economy to keep feeding a dragon (which has scales) so that he scales up. Camera pans and extracted the entire kenney 1 bit package into 3d tiles so I can do something ungodly with parallax. Humble beginnings #gamedev
