Software Dev @AWS I publish a weekly GenAI newsletter for software devs:

[Sam Keen @exploregamedev]

Hey indie game devs, are you using AI assistance (ChatGPT, etc) for any aspects of game development? (programming, dialog creation, asset creation, ...)

The excellent beginner friendly DAW Mixcraft is back on Humble, with several VSTs and dozens of loop/sample audio packs in the Level Up Music Creator Power Pack bundle.

Game Development Map (rough sketch)

What do you think?

Do you mentally map any places while making games?

If you're waiting for the 1-Bit Godot Course in 4.x, it's on its way. It may still be a few months out, though.

If you already own the course for 3.x, you'll get the update for free.

Want a database of 800K+ free Creative Commons licensed 3D models? If yes, you want to check out Objaverse.

@SnkyGames Hey, doing well, took some downtime but getting back into it. Hope you've been well.

[Sam Keen @exploregamedev]

What's your ideal video length for GameDev tutorials? 
This is the time to cover small topics and/or the time to break down larger topics into.

Hello, I just published a new Godot 4 tutorial: Creating the terrain controller for a 3D endless runner.
General purpose controller you can adapt to your own game.

[Andres Hernandez @cybereality]

Okay. It's Day 2 of my attempt to create a #3DEngineIn3Weeks. I now have a colored triangle on the screen! About 720 lines of code, I think this is the most complicated part. The @VulkanAPI is extremely verbose, but also not confusing. Moving onto transforms and textures next.

[Sam Keen @exploregamedev]

Wow, these are really flying now. I'm continually amazed with how well this open source product is built and managed.

I wanted to learn a bit more about the Godot 4 CharacterBody3D vs its former incarnation as KinematicBody in Godot 3.
I wrote a small post summarizing what I learned.

Great article on the design process with regards to drawing.

Really enjoying my play through of Last of us 2. I really appreciate the game pacing, gives you plenty of rest/explore sessions after intense sections. Also amazing game design.

I've been using Godot Engine for years and only recently found out about this shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + E evaluates the selected code! #GodotEngine #gamedev (r/godot: https://t.co/ffqJdF4nhn)

[Unfixed Brain @UnfixedBrain]

Finally after months of hard work we can finally show some gameplay of Lightwood, our first game!!
