Release candidate: Godot 4.0.2 RC 1
Mircosoft Game Dev
MARCH 31, 2023
With the GDC 2023 past us, we are getting ready for the 4.1 dev cycle. But that doesn't mean current Godot 4.0 users have to wait, because here's a release candidate for 4.0.2, with a handful of fixes and extra enhancements!
For promotional videos like the 10-minute gameplay video of Tears of the Kingdom, how much of that is always constant in that specific build of the game? The video is prerecorded, but I still feel like there would be a lot of staged things to show off what they want to, while reducing the risk of any pitfalls.

We stage things like this all the time, both for public-facing gameplay videos and for internal demo videos. This is because the purpose is to showcase the gameplay systems in a timely fashion. We usually don’t have a lot of time with our audiences. No one wants to sit and wait for minutes while the next demo is carefully set up. It’s even worse if it’s a live demo and the setup breaks or something unforeseen happens and you have to reset everything to load up the demo scenario again.

Unique blend of genres in haunting fishing adventure Dredge by Black Salt Games
PreMortem.Games
MARCH 30, 2023
The world of Dredge is a foreboding place, a collection of remote islands adrift in a deep blue sea that appears calm and inviting by day yet dark and brooding as night falls. As a down-on-their-luck fisherman, you have little option but to explore these waters for fish and other things you may dredge up from the pitch black depths.

Transgender Visibility Within The Games Industry
OPM Jobs

And that audience began realising that they deserve that representation. Today, games are still not as diverse as they should be in the modern world. Most of industry knows this and are ready to change.

You’ve worked on PC game mods before you became a developer in the major industry as an actual job. But that does make me wonder. Is there a chance those mods, and others that are publicly available online, may see legal attention, even if no money is involved? Like maybe they have copyrighted music or artwork, or other IP themed content like some Half-Life mods have for instance?
Ask a Game Dev
MARCH 30, 2023
Yes. Legally speaking, it actually doesn’t matter whether you make money or not, copyright infringement is still copyright infringement even if the infringer doesn’t make a dime off of it. The owner of the IP is within their rights to choose what is and isn’t allowed with their property. Let’s use a somewhat extreme example. Each of us owns the copyright to our own likeness.

Mark Darrah is back on Dragon Age as a consultant. What use does a consultant have on the team that doesn’t involve sensitivity feedback (i.e., that seems low-key sexist, racist, etc)?
Ask a Game Dev
MARCH 29, 2023
I think you may misunderstand the point of a consultant. Generally, a consultant is an expert in some field that a company hires so they can get questions answered. Sometimes that expertise is in things like sensitivity feedback or diversity/equity/inclusivity, but it can also be in any number of fields - corporate efficiency, a specific type of technology, economics, ancient Chinese history, military tactics and equipment, constructed languages, skateboarding physics, or (in Darrah’s case) exte
