Thinking about how cool 90s UNIX workstations were. I wish we could bring this aesthetic back.
Man, I can't wait to get my hands on a Steam Deck. Seeing folks using them as mobile workstations for stuff like FreeCAD and Godot tells me it's gonna make for a sweet game jam rig.

Well this is awesome. #SteamDeck running on a dell laptop dock to dual monitors over display port. It chugs if you try to game this way, but it's a great workstation. #freecad @FreeCAD

GIFMaker is available on #GodotEngine's AssetLib so you can easily try it out yourself!
Let me know what you think fellow #gamedev folk!

My player refactor is moving along - thanks to my redesign of the way characters in the game are controlled, I can now have Controllers that are Bots.
The way this is implemented, the Character doesn't really know or care if it's a human sending in commands or an AI. This also means Characters in game can be dynamically switching Controllers (human can take control of an AI character and vice-versa)
Brain hotswapping :D
New devlog on my #VR project in #Godot is up! https://hellocld.com/2022/05/20/Deluxe:-Sprint-3.html
Just installed pipewire on my desktop, and after resolving a couple Jack conflicts it seems to just be working? Curious to see if that remains the case.

Been working on an AI system for my #VR project in #Godot. It's using a basic state machine with a bunch of knobs for adjusting things like field of view and boredom for managing transitions between states - https://diode.zone/w/2Msu47NFatXqTRhbHhwAVC
Gotta love profiling all the things, logging timing on methods, nuking imports, and rebuilding entire scenes trying to trace down what's killing framerate, only to find it's because I set shadows on a directional light to a stupid setting.

Another addition! This time in ✨ 3D ✨
It needs polish, as you can see it has some weird frames in there. But a start is a start! #gamedev
Check out GIFMaker for #GodotEngine:
https://github.com/bram-dingelstad/GifMaker/blob/main/README.md#3d-example
Found that CSGs in #Godot work with this setup right out the gate. https://diode.zone/w/jusyyzui1vK3UvCQUqPoNP
Got teleportation working this morning! #gamedev #Godot #VR

I've also got a slightly longer video of the homing missiles mentioned in the post up over on my new channel at diode.zone - https://diode.zone/w/buwBMTrgZcUb1yqYje9Dpb
Hey, I've finally got some #gamedev content to post, lol. New blog post is up recapping the latest sprint on my new #VR project I'm building in #Godot - https://hellocld.com/2022/05/06/Deluxe:-Sprint-2.html

Do any #Godot & #GodotEngine developers know of a good tool for 3D map-making?
I looked at TrenchBroom, but it doesn't fit my need. I want to make a few houses for my current game project (where you move in with physically simulated furniture, moving boxes, etc. Think "Unpacking" but 3D first person with physics.)
I am comfortable making a map-importing system as long as the file format has good documentation
Please boost to help find some good mapmaking tools!
