Terrain3D is an incredible add-on for Godot 4. Thank you @TokisanGames !

This is part of R&D for Liblast and Liblast Framework.
Based on CGI data from #NASA, that was interpreted frivolously to an 8x8 km area and then sclupted over to add detail that was missing from the original textures.

Good morning everyone! As you all know if you follow me, I'm a sighted dev whose focus is on accessibility for the blind. I got into the space of accessibility and learned how important it was because I joined an accessibility jam and got first hand experience speaking with blind gamers. So I'm inviting you to the type of jam that changed my outlook! So join the discord for "Games for blind gamers" and ask your questions!

It's finally time. After years of deliberation, #Minetest is finally ready to adopt a new identity and prove it has moved beyond its original purpose. We can finally move past the "mining" and the "testing" and focus on making this platform the best it can be.

I wrote a benchmark of game engine performance primarily geared towards the types of 2D games that are popular these days.

Here are the results for Flutter, Flame, Unity and Godot. It's a long read with many caveats, so buckle up.

I WILL NOT SIGN the "Stop Killing Videogames" petition and if you're a game developer with half a braincell left in you, you should not as well.

It is a poorly written attempt at a petition by someone who seems to have no idea that games exist outside of AAA/online-only ones.

And it's a shame because I am 100% behind video game preservation, but this petition is so poorly written, I will actually fight against it.

I explained why it's bad on B: bsky.app/profile/sosowski.bsky…

Something you may not have realised is right-handed: playing cards.

When you pick up a card with your dominant hand and add it to the front of a card you're holding in your non-dominant hand, you create a fan towards your dominant hand.

Standard playing cards have a small version of the number and suit in two corners so that you can see them no matter which way up the card is, *as long as they're fanned right*, and many modern card games follow suit (ha!) without thinking, for the convention or aesthetic

Consider mirroring important summary information in both left and right corners (Ticket to Ride does a great job putting the suits in both corners while maintaining the pleasant asymmetrical feel of having them in one)

It's admittedly only a tiny accessibility issue, but it IS an accessibility issue, so have think about it.

A #Flutter #gamedev question: is there sample code for implementing a key binding customization UI?

Something that lists actions in the game and allows the player to customize the keys?

I _think_ I heard someone talking about implementing this in the past. I thought I'd ask.

Does anyone here have Linux? Specifically maybe Ubuntu?

If so, could you install the Playtest of my game Rocket (Not the Demo, just the Playtest), and see if it works in your Linux?

Really appreciate the help, thanks!
