after the latest round of feedback I'm implementing a retro / modern control scheme toggle, defaulting to modern where the right stick = camera, left stick = movement and retro with left stick = forward / backward movement, turning left / right and L1/R1 handling strafing (current control scheme)
Kenney hit the infamous "two billionaires with one post" achievement, remains very rare, also shows once again that money does not equal intelligence, capability, or insight: Kenney is obviously right.
Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

Beta 5 is up! new weapons and wall traversal! :D pinguinogelato.itch.io/crd-spider-u... speedruns posted on the discord, come beat my times! :D discord.gg/9tf3PfsZtk #gamedev #indiegame #godot #godotengine #mech
The artillery has evolved so much in the past few days, it's now a drone that flies above you that you control with the right stick, much more versatile and interesting, haha. enjoy some top down artsy shots! I love how the rain looks like speed lines #gamedev #godotengine #godot #mech
getting the new weapons working has been a blast (literally and figuratively, haha) #gamedev #godotengine #godot #mech
Spider Unit, now with 10 times more motion sickness! jokes aside, I'm working on a few ways to alleviate that ( tunnel vision, diegetic 3rd person camera and a gyro mode for the camera) #gamedev #godot #indiegame #mech

Make not opposing genocide hurt more than Israel works to make opposing genocide hurt. Make it hurt politicians' odds. Make it hurt artists' sales. Make it hurt medias' reputation. Make it hate platforms' revenues. Make it career-endingly devastating to stand there and "both sides" mass murder.
level editor with controller support is in the works, new menu interface is in the works, aiming for beta #3 in the next 2 weeks :D #gamedev #godotEngine
"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

I see some concerns raised about Godot's policy on contributions using AI. TL;DR: Godot isn't vibe-coded. As a whole, the Godot foundation and maintainers are fairly critical of AI usage, and don't make nor accept vibe-coded contributions. Godot doesn't include AI features nor intends to add any.
I gotta get better at socials, haha. progress is going well, my plan is to release the game for free and have cool merch, WIP desk mat pic attached. a tutorial is coming in the next update. let me know what you think! pinguinogelato.itch.io/crd-spider-u... :D #gamedev #godot #godotengine #mech

Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers. If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of: fund.godotengine.org
Godot's GitHub has increasingly many pull requests generated by LLMs and it's a MASSIVE time waster for reviewers – especially if people don't disclose it. Changes often make no sense, descriptions are extremely verbose, users don't understand their own changes… It's a total shitshow. #godotengine
made this game a while back, what do y'all think? Sometimes when I'm stressed I like to organize something and I made this to scratch that itch in a chill way pinguinogelato.itch.io/warehouse-or... #gamedev #IndieDev
