I'm finally putting out a demo after 4 years of development on my indie game.
  • Congrats on keeping it up!. It looks fun and unique

  • It's very risky to not use a FOSS game engine

  • Linux vs Windows, my experience
  • This is amazing, have you got any guide? I tried using boxes but didn't get good performance

  • You can always dual boot, Linux for working is amazing. And your can also install a VM but I haven't tried it for gaming

  • YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers
  • Makes sense. Even if they are forks of chrome it is try that they are heavily influenced by Google right?

  • Hey using Firefox here too, but why Chromium is so bad?

  • I bought a Surface Pro 4 - Update
  • Is the SP5 working ok?

  • Mine after one hour of usage starts flickering the screen...

  • After over 80 weeks the Steam Deck leaves the top 10 global sellers on Steam
  • Such an amazing device, that has helped Linux gaming!

  • Unity’s CEO is out, but that still may not be enough for developers
  • A button to export project you mean? Amazon could definitely give Godot some love. There are exporting projects, but they break a bit on the code part apparently

  • Unity’s CEO is out, but that still may not be enough for developers
  • I spent a week and really liked Godot, lightweight, amazing UX, very compatible with Linux, and the feeling of being part of a community is so good. C# support is great, but not as good as Gdscript, and coding in C# is so much faster for me. For instance there is no hot reloading on C#. Managed to get Vs code working and debugging after as while but broke the compatibility with unity of Vs code. So it's tricky to work on both engines on Vs code simultaneously.

  • Unity’s CEO is out, but that still may not be enough for developers
  • I'm working on a 7 year old game with Unity. It will take me a long time and energy to port to Godot. I'm gonna carry on with unity, but I'm learning Godot at the same time. I really wish there was a porting button you could press.

    VS code C# intellisense and debugging working!
  • Was so happy when I managed so that I could go back to coding

  • VS code C# intellisense and debugging working!

    Hey guys, unity refugee here:

    I'm gonna try to port my 7 year game to Godot, lets see how it goes. Since it's a massive project and I am coming to unity I have decided to use C# instead of GDScript (which I did try for a while and may even use in some scripts).

    I have had two crazy last days working on how to set up intellisense and Debugging on my linux machine for Godot (it should work similar for windows) for C#. So here is a guide of how I managed, in case someone else faces the same problem to save them some headaches:

    1.Follow this guys tutorials which are amazing especially to sort the debugging out:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKjfjtLcWXw&t=279s (Linux)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_cdAYDHR0E&t=58s (windows)

    He will tell you to only install the C# extension on VSCode

    If you still have issues you may try the following:

    1. if you have many different versions of .net uninstall themFrom discover I installed .net core sdk only one, otherwise the variables get mixed up.

    2. I also uninstalled Vs code and all the configurations and settings https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/uninstall, and installed Vs code from the snap store.

    3. Put the exec file shortcut:

      Open the Editor Settings

      Select Text Editor > External

      Make sure the Use External Editor box is checked

      Fill Exec Path with the path to your VS Code executable

      /snap/bin/code (for Linux)

      Fill Exec Flags with {project} --goto {file}:{line}:{col}

    5 .A the key part is when/if you lose instellisense, press ctrl+shift+P-> .Net generate assets to build and debug

    Let me know if you need more help or I am missing something please. I so glad this is working now :)

    Please Consider Defederating from Rammy.site
  • What are the consecuences of defederating?

  • What very old/unmaintained software do you still use today, and why?
  • Gitahead, haven't found another graphical git solution for Linux

  • Away to the stars, please destroy
  • I increased secondary tiles as you said, and definetly looks better: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@away2thestars/110660581420478735

  • Away to the stars, please destroy
  • Thank you so much for your honest review!! Definitely gonna check those tilemaps to see how they avoid repetition Steam capsules needs to avoid pixel art, but definitely the logo could do with an improved non pixel art version. I have been told to make it clearer too. Space combat has improved a bit since the trailer, but definitely needs some work, maybe put up missiles and more VFX. I'll definitely put more shadows on the interiors.

  • 3 body problem tencent series on YouTube
  • FX are so good, and the acting... I wonder if the Netflix series will get to that level. I'm starting reading the second book. Amazing series

  • 3 body problem tencent series on YouTube

    Just finished watching the series on YouTube after reading the first book. It was really well adapted, can't recommend it enough. While the Netflix series come
