A good benefit to calculating the perspective math on the CPU is that it allows one to execute some neat tricks. Like with this PerspectiveViewportContainer2D I've made, which allows a user's input to propagate into a child SubViewport. This mimics #Godot 's regular SubViewportContainer.

Made a "PerspectiveCarousel2D" node that drives the X blending, as well as a "CarouselAnchor2D" node for non-PerspectiveQuad2Ds. While there are clear limitations to this approach, I could definitely see this psuedo-3D rendering being useful for point-&-click style #Godot games.

In other news, working with @0x4682b4.com to have a new example model made for Inochi2D 0.9! Chibi Ada is looking real cute uwu

We're amazed at the community support for our retro dungeon crawler #DarkForestGB, with well over 250+ wishlists in our first 48 hours debuting at the #GDoCExpo Steam Sale! Thank you! #gamedev

Collections of studios owned and run by Black People. I'm sure there are some I missed, so please let me know (please double-check that they are owned by black people), and I will add them. Don't just follow them; check out their games. This list is about equity and ownership. go.bsky.app/4wfgP11

Wanted to make sure to share this around, but bsky.app/profile/autu... is in the process of making a Master List for #TapasCreators [Big, small, #webcomic or #webnovel; as long as they published to #Tapas!] If you are a creator reach out to them to be added! tapas-creators-list.carrd.co

Late Godot 4.x releases including 4.8 feel like an inflection point where the engine is starting to feel like a dependable tool

This morning I woke up to the long awaited big green gamedev steam button 🥹

Trying something new out with our roguelike #HereByAir where we go behind the scenes and talk about design philosophy and the process of human-centric gameplay in a short-form format. If you recognize any of these indie games, please interact with the video! #gamedev vm.tiktok.com/ZTUwA3E84/

Taking a moment to appreciate just barely surviving the final room of #HereByAir and getting pushed into a corner by the enemy-AI that I helped design 😭 But at least the demo feels fun! #indiedev #GameheadsShowcase2026

When a game studio ships a solid game, it creates TWO valuable products: 1. A solid game. 2. The team that spent years learning how to work together make a game. Because Western studios keep disbanding #2 while development cycles get longer; we will inevitably see less of #1.

Timezones are wild with remote development teams. Like, wdym the sun is rising during an evening event livestream, then it's time to drop by the post office to sign for a package and after that I have a "morning" zoom call in 5 hours with the UK?
