Last month we announced the date of our big community event in Europe, GodotCon 2018, which will take place in Brussels on 5 & 6 February 2018 , right after the FOSDEM (where we will also have a stand and give a presentation of Godot 3 ). The venue. At that time we hadn't found a venue yet, as we were unsure about our numbers. We can now announce that GodotCon will be generously hosted by Ludus Académie , a game development school from Brussels, located at Quai du Commerce/Handelskaai, 48.

Nothing more disappointing than rushing to Steam to purchase a game and be greeted with this. And no, I'm not going to install a VM to play games that are Windows only. I just won't be able to play them. ?

I've never played a real-world escape the room game. I still haven't, but last night we played an escape the room in a box game. It was fun, but also a little odd. I'm not sure how the real-world ones work, but this in-a-box one feels like a poorly designed adventure game. That's not a bad thing, it's a different type of game under very different constraints, so I give it a big pass.

Currently, I follow: Blobs in Games. Coding Horror. pagetable.com. Prog Stuff.

A lot of good questions this week, I'll chock that up to being the first week. I might do a bonus post on Wednesday answering some of the ones I couldn't get to, and of course, there is next week to eagerly look forward to. Let's get going. Let's start off with Octavi. I wonder where I know that name from? Octavi: When making any kind of artistic work we know there's always a disappointingly huge difference between our first idea and the end result: which one of your games you'd say it's the mos
