2024 In Review - Bluesky It’s been a big year for Bluesky! Let's take a look back at everything that’s happened in the past year.

What a year! Bluesky opened its doors just last February. Since then, we opened federation, launched video, rolled out trending topics, and a whole lot more.

Happy New Year, and here’s to a great year ahead! 🎉

Accessibility matters!

Made a custom Godot mesh type called NinePatchMesh, which lets you resize any 3D mesh as though it were a UI panel. Great for making 3D UI, picture frames, computer monitors, TVs, etc. You can find it here if you wanna use it:

Godot Forum A place for the Godot community to meet, ask questions, share their work, and provide help to other users.

Spending time on
forum.godotengine.org
and helping people out with their issues is such a nice puzzle itch scratcher for me 🧩. Learning experience for the community and myself is just a bonus 🧐

REALLY good deal here, can confirm this worked.

I was paying for Illustrator only at $34/mo and this gave me all apps for less.

I had to click the little dropdown box and select "all apps" to see it. I outlined it in the screenshot.

Godot Collision Layers and Masks… the EASY Way Godot collision layers and masks can be a tricky subject to get at first, but with this simple way of thinking about them you'll never mix them up again.Disc...

This was something that tripped me up when I first started using #godot. Once it settles in your brain though, it's there to stay... usually.

Or sometimes I just rewatch my own video 😅

Non alpha blended volume decal projection using parallax and interior mapping

Alpha blend adjusted as a function of color luminance approximation

Alpha blend adjusted as a function of luminance multiplied by color channel weighting

Shader code snippet converting magnitude of color as a vector to drive alpha and hdr variation

A volume parallax decal shader with a twist, changing how I think about the calculated color and reinterpreting how that controls alpha blending it leads to some pretty variance and results. #techart #shaders #godot #gamedev

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

Life tip: you can insert USB cables correctly the first time most of the time by ensuring the USB symbol is facing up (or to the right if it's on its side).

The red and gold logo for "Catalyst: Blind Faith" has the subtext "DEVLOG." In the background on the top row is a smug, female elf with numerous piercings; a troubled looking and disheveled young man staring intensely at the viewer while clutching onto his head; and a broadly grinning, young woman in profile with very poofy hair. On the bottom of the image are numerous construction sketches of a male figure with 5 radically different body types, indicating it is the same figure whose appearance can drastically change.

A low-res version of a flowchart showing the simplified choice structure in the massive dark fantasy and horror visual novel Catalyst: Blind Faith. Even as a thumbnail, it is apparent that the ten deeply branching main paths the game can take have unique narrative structure, but at many points in the narrative can branch into one central story if the player so chooses.

The start of my narrative design #devlog is OUT FOR EVERYONE🎉

Thank you all so much for your support and for reading! The free, high-res version of the flowchart showing choice structure in my #visualnovel is in the Patreon crosspost.🧠🔀

Hope you enjoy!❤️

Ren'Py Launch and Sync - Visual Studio Marketplace Extension for Visual Studio Code - Keep Ren'Py in sync with your code

posting this again for my renpy dev peers... ive made a vscode extension that allows you to speed up your workflows. i spent hundreds of hours working on tweaking this this year and it has speeded up my personal workflow significantly
marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemNa...

A beige square with text that reads: "1 Like = 1 Visual Novel Development Tip, Hot Take, or Shitpost, but I'm not telling you which is which."

I've seen some other VNdevs offer some advice and I figure that I might as well share my wisdom. I've been making narrative games for over a decade and worn hats as a Writer, Ren'Py Programmer, Social Media/Community Manager, Producer, etc., so I probably know a thing or two.

We've already added $680 to the pot, we'll be at $1,000 in no time at this rate!

I'm $75 away from making rent. If you like my writing, please consider helping me out! I post my work free so people who can't afford it can have access. Helping me empowers me to help people who can't afford a pay wall.

Anything after that goes to bills.
