Sure, I was mainly highlighting it as it’s very non-standard even for 3D. Not good for motivation that I don’t expect much activity here (at least for me). That, and obviously I don’t have much relevant to say to other posters either.

I’m not even new to it but Blender isn’t even really my thing (not that I have an alternative even just for this niche), so that will be its own challenge getting into the swing of things. I may try some very basic tests with newer stuff (grease pencil, geometry nodes) just to see if I can even get meshes (+animations?) imported to Godot as I expect.

Side-note, image hosting is also an annoyance for me. I would like something that allows saving+editing alt-text (for copying markdown), plus upload organization.

Not really applicable to my art medium*, but I have thought about doing a modified challenge. My thinking is 12 entries (based on 4-per-week for 3 weeks) which gives more freedom for timing and prompt choice (also prompt/theme mixing, creative interpretations, or doing extra allows picking your best entries). Aside from being easier.

Hey, I’m not sure if it fixes what you were worried about, but there was a new release that fixed more than a few issues.

Furthermore the creator of a 3.X gdnative project (Enu) is involved so that may be interesting longer-term.

I can’t say they didn’t/won’t try to remove/cover it further, but on another article it’s at least dry (and seemingly not obstructed) pointing to the removal as calculated by Banksy as others have suggested.

Perhaps being a historic site, paint is not really an option instead needing a more costly restoration to obscure it.

I think it should be on the moon with a Black-Mesa-branded rocket (with a gnome on-board), for thematic reasons. It’s no Xen, but you could probably add some decorations and even without that it’d be a better match than Italy.

Not sure about dodgeball though, I think area combat would fit more as well. Just make sure to have first-aid stations and have everybody sign waivers.

…or maybe you should just do free meet-ups with people to play dodgeball or talk-about/play your favorite games etc. (and maybe you’ll find some overlap) without it being some record-breaking event?

I dunno, do you think it’s too rough for prototypes or jam-like games?

Seems to me like many of the issues are likely specific, workaround-able stuff. It’s mainly developed by 1 person, so pretty much any type of involvement (even posting issues or showing off projects) could help improve the future of the project.

In some cases you can keep your logic in its own file and not dependent on any engine. For instance I made a (non-game) software demo (number converter) for the 3.X bindings and then easily redid the GUI and rewired it for the 4.X bindings. (similarly I made a polygon-from-text-format parser for Naylib, I could transfer it but Godot has polygon editing so less need there)

I haven’t done enough to consider myself a programmer, but I could’ve written your post. It hits a niche that I have long wanted from programming.

You should check out the Godot 4 bindings if you haven’t already (gdext-nim, see my post on !nim@programming.dev). There’s also one for Raylib (specifically, Naylib).

My biggest functional gripe (that I can say for certain is not just me) was that support for (Bellard’s) TCC was dropped. It was nice for quick prototyping, though Clang is a pretty efficient middleground/default.

That doesn’t really solve the issue for me considering I have even less motivation for some of those other things (writing/comics), or I’ve tried them with small successes that didn’t go anywhere (music, stand-alone art, even a finished simple prototype program related to writing).

I have thought about animation*, but that is probably just as high of a bar if not higher in terms of effort and thinking up a viable idea. Something like a desktop pet maybe, though I am stuck on functionality. In a similar vein an OLED screensaver-type thing (or music visualizer?) is another idea, but I don’t have the screen (aside from an old phone that I’m not sure would work, plus exporting overhead).

* which is only a slight deviation for the workflow I’ve been tinkering with, just with very little simple scripting needed (really only initially)

More, Mu6ariz (step forward for M6riz).

Also with the game here clicking on dev/publisher info goes to a curator page (where the game doesn’t even seem to show aside from the name/thumbnail), so that’s probably how they can easily create/rename (not saying intent, but certainly doesn’t help with shovelware vibe).

Also yeah imagine if I did anything, let alone having a project worthy of the thought of uploading it anywhere.

Isn’t Luanti’s world height way bigger, though? ~62K vs MC’s ~400 are the numbers I see.

I mean I get that’s a different thing, but aside from exploration it determines build height. Also to me it’s a more visible limit, because falling made it obvious how short MC’s maps were.

The problem for me is that it repeats many of the issues I had with Minecraft, so I don’t really have a good base to start with. Not really interested in LUA either, so there is even less motivation for me to make something from the ground up (I should probably be doing something with Godot instead).

I imagine the benefit for Luanti would be if you want to make a simple grid-based game it should be easy to do so (similar-to-but-easier-than a MC mod for example). Trying different games though, it was hit-or-miss for me especially when it just spits you falling into an empty world (I assume that’s a known config-error or incompatibility).

Luanti (formerly Minetest) might be closer to what OP is looking for. Both because LUA and because it’s platform-like.

EDIT: Also I didn’t notice at first, but OP’s previous post was asking about Minecraft vs. Luanti

I looked at my closest library’s website, online-only lasts for 90 days. For a full card it states proof of residency or A form of identification that has your current , permanent address on it as a requirement (of which I don’t have the listed examples).

Although I also depend on the weather being nice (it has been hot lately) to ride my bike to the town the library is in, so not too keen on the idea of needing to return stuff anyway.

I don’t think I even have the right information they want unless they’re lenient (like accepting a very old school ID for photo ID).

EDIT: On second look I’m guessing the description was more of a rhetorical (which would make more sense if it were read before the image). So all I can say is

<me pretending I have a project>: haha same

Then again, it’s Top Gear. That might have been one of the guys’ fault. 🤔

TV magic:

The Robin used by Jeremy Clarkson, the Stig and Ken Block had the differential modified to allow the car to roll over more easily. The car also had unequal sized wheels fitted creating an imbalance toward the driver’s side.

Get me out of here. I already use FOSS*, tell me what license to use and I can also do testing (both bug reports and medical/biomech stuff).

I know, probably not even close to a real option. Same as it ever was.
