I've been thinking a lot about mechanics that were awesome in one or two games but somehow never caught on. For example, the Nemesis system in Shadow of Mordor was brilliant but rarely replicated. Or time manipulation in Braid and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time — such great potential, yet not widely adopted. What’s one gameplay mechanic you feel deserves more love?

In Recur , when the world ends, or at least when the apocalypse begins, an ordinary postman discovers an extraordinary new ability. He suddenly gains the power to bend time to his will. By moving forward, time resumes its natural flow and events unfold as normal (though ‘normal’ is relative in an end-of-the-world scenario of course). Standing still brings everything to a halt, every city-shattering explosion, every derailing train, every collapsing scaffold freezes in mid-air, suspended in time

Recently, while working on our game Wind Rider for Meta Quest devices in Unity, we've started using a workflow often referred to as "vibe coding." If you haven't heard this term yet, vibe coding is basically programming heavily assisted by Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT or, in our case, GitHub Copilot integrated into VS Code. This AI-driven method has noticeably sped up how quickly we can produce content, especially when it comes to editor tooling.

Especially in action games or fast-paced experiences, delivering responsive and fluid controls is critical for engagement. In this post, I’ll share the approach we used while working on an iOS game project—how we handled touch input, built a virtual joystick, and made movement feel polished.

Godot 3.6 was released in September last year, and it has been mostly stable, although there have been a few more important bugs which warrant a maintenance “patch” release (3.6.x). As well as bug fixes, this release also contains some cherry-picks from 4.x to update libraries. Let us know if you spot any regressions. Jump to the Downloads section. As usual, you can try it live with the online version of the Godot editor updated for this release.

As someone who has worked on iOS games using both native Swift and Unity, I’ve been thinking more about how much the underlying tech stack impacts game design decisions. For instance, Swift/SpriteKit gives tight integration with Apple’s ecosystem, which pushes me toward design patterns that leverage iOS-specific features — like haptics, ARKit, or tight UI integration.

I feel a lot more capable with the video editing tool now, and sometimes I even have a little fun when making videos.
