A little #godot vs #unity benchmark I ran a few weeks ago... #gamedev #indiegames

Okay that alone feels like it could be a cheatsheet on its own #Godot #GameDev #Dev

Working on a text formatting cheatsheet for GDScript!! #Godot #Cheatsheet #GDScript #Dev #GameDev

My 2025 talk 'Gyms, Zoos, and Museums: Your documentation should be in-game' is now also available in text format, for those who like to read instead of watch: rystorm.com/blog/gyms-zo... And if you haven't seen it yet, there is an all new video too, with bonus material on the history of Zoos!

I'm officially going ✨part-time✨ to make more free interactive guides for Godot!! You can support me on Patreon and get early access and cool rewards 😎 To celebrate, I made a free tween cheatsheet in 8 languages, available here: www.patreon.com/posts/tween-... #Godot #GameDev #Indie #GodotEngine

@merriam-webster.com just released the first new print edition of its Collegiate Dictionary in 22 years — and it weighs five pounds! So of course, I had questions. :) In today's podcast, I talk with @petersokolowski.bsky.social about why print still matters. APPLE PODCASTS: bit.ly/3LMhwbL

Toyed with log\.gd bg colors and an old fave color palette (a modified "coldfire") on the plane yesterday - excited to get this nested color-cycling even more readable #Godot #GodotEngine

New version of Log\.gd today! Now you can bring your own color theme w/ a `LogColorTheme` custom resource! I'm very happy to no longer be hard-coding colors in the code. The rainbow delimiters now sync with the brackets - I think I like it? github.com/russmatney/l... #Godot #GodotEngine

Toying with Log\.gd color themes today! DID YOU KNOW? You can type Godot's fancy color names directly into the inspector's color picker's Hex field? b/c i didn't. #Godot #GodotEngine

I wrote another Dot Hop devlog this week! Plus edited down a clip of this puzzle-stacking bug I ran into. russmatney.com#/devlogs/202... #DotHop #Godot #GodotEngine #SoloDev #DevLog

I just do not care about defending why this is not their fault. It truly does not matter if their hands were completely tied and their motives as pure as driven snow. It is not viable to sell things on a platform that could take all your money at any moment without notice.

Itch's new content policy is: 1. We can't tell you what violates the rules. 2. If you violate the rules, we take all your money. Not just the money from that work, ALL your money from EVERYTHING you've ever made. I don't care how much of a smol bean Itch is, this is not a viable platform.

I'm adding rainbow delimiters to Log\.gd's brackets today, and decided to cycle colors on nested dictionary keys as well - looking pretty good! (plz ignore the `[/color]` noise, that's an engine bug already fixed in `4.5`) #GodotEngine #Godot #GodotAddon

More old posts that I'm resurfacing... this one is lovey-dovey and could use a less creeper title, but I like the turn it takes. I completely forgot about this Neutrino character, will have to bring them back! russmatney.com#/posts/100-w...

i made a randomized 'all the dots' theme and threw in my 'extras' puzzle (some experimental puzzles) - made me lol to see the themes jammed together. nice to finally have things running again after a big refactor the last two days! #GodotEngine #PuzzleGame #DotHop #GameDev

This was my first post on Medium back in 2013 - it was 'featured' somewhere and got a solid number of views! Kind of a click-baity title... How To Write A Poem: russmatney.com#/posts/100-w...

Some Dot Hop progress! A rough POC for emphasizing possible-next-moves. The real work here was refactoring the game logic to support 'checking' if a move was possible without actually making the move - some fun decoupling. Next up, the never-ending tweaking and re-art-ing.

I wrote about the first Life is Strange game for Boss Fight! I’m really excited about it!!!! I think this book is one of my favourite things I’ve written and I also think I only could’ve written it in my mid to late 30s

Boss Fight Books: Season 8 - The Depths Below

Was pleased to find out my ice shader looks good at night as well! :) 🧊💡 #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

let there be water (and also new grass) #gamedev #godotengine #pixelart

A favorite bit to add when making #shaders is to have an auto animating screenspace-wipe slider effect to see 2 versions of a shader without having to add +manipulate a slider in the inspector, edit code/move cam instead screenshot and code snippet in alt text in followup post #godotengine #gamedev

Fuck off Notion - ‘this shitty feature you didn’t want was $8 per month but is ‘free’ now! Btw also we’re increasing your monthly rate by $6’
