#GDScript Tip: Simple way to check you typed the right variable or function name: - Ctrl + Mouse Hover underlines every instance of that name, but only if it's defined. If it doesn't exist, it won't be underlined. - Just hovering also opens a tool tip, if its defined. #GodotTips #Godot

Finally... *caved* and got @cavesofqud.com. Very impressed with the pairing of a modern and thoughtful gameplay experience/feel with traditional #roguelike aesthetics. Dutifully got my first permadeath just after the tutorial finished. #IndieGames #LiveAndDrink

The start of my bleak #roguelike #basebuilder Cower Fantasy, where you are not a hero. Has a sine curve creek. I darkened the terrain so the characters will stand out. The little pink thing is a rapossum, half rat half possum. Got navigation set up so marauders chase you. #Godot #Indiedev #gamedev

UK's Eins, Zwei, Drei by Look Mum No Computer, an ode to the joys of counting in German with a side of pepperoni pizza, is among the most underrated songs of this year's competition. youtu.be/niMKvJ-Itq8?... I hear even UK hated it, but I think it's lovely.

Avocados come in 2 varieties - A-types start each day female and switch to male midday. B-types do the reverse. In work just published from the last chapter of my PhD, we show this system evolved 40+million yrs ago and is regulated by alleles of 1 transcription factor www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

One thing I like about bluesky's lists is that I don't feel the need to repost as much. If there's a neat and shareable post that is specific to a particular interest of mine and I found it in a list, then basically anyone who's interested and follows me will probably see it in the list, too.

This is really fun to read lol

Never imagined in my elder years my aesthetic vibes would merge so well with #Eurovision Song Contest. I'm ready for the too cool for school haters. I blame Celine Dion. Ne partez pas... Here's to all the songs that got no votes and the winners and all between. Put yourself out there. #ESC #music

Fun fact I learned at #GodotCon Boston yesterday. If a pull request in the #Godot github hasn't been merged but you're interested in trying it, Github makes a PR artifact which is a build just including that PR. So you can try it without having to compile anything yourself! #GodotTips

Add in here making coffee, pacing around the house thinking, talking to the cats, rereading what I've already written for the hundredth time, etc. #writerslife 📝 💙📚 ⚡📚

In honor of #GodotCon Boston I want to share one of my favorite ever Godot videos about the beauty of SubViewports! The Godot Engine channel has tons of great videos from previous cons. #Godot #Gamedev #Indiedev youtube.com/watch?v=cwZG...

We released The Incident at Galley House a week ago, and it's been a wild ride: * Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam in 48 hours * We recouped our entire development budget * At peak, 2500 people were playing at the same time!! Thanks to all the detectives out there for making it a big success.
