Maintenance release: Godot 3.4.1

Mircosoft Game Dev

Godot 3.4 was released a month ago, and it went fairly smoothly! Many thanks to all the contributors who worked on it, including all testers who tried beta and RC releases to ensure that the 3.4-stable branch would be an easy and worthwhile upgrade path for all users. No software release is perfect though, so there will always be some things to iron out, which is why we provide maintenance releases for stable branches, focusing on bugfixing and preserving compatibility (see our release policy ).

TNT: Amazing Village Building Volume 01 by Kuzu Shichio

Game Industry News

Hey all I’m back with another new series for this week’s Translation Necessary Thursday. It’s Amazing Village Building Volume 01 by Kuzu Shichio! Plot: Where Fushi no Kami is a heart-warming tale of a boy with memories of a past life determining to uplift society from the dark ages, Amazing Village Building is very different. The main character is a kid, who acts like one most of the time, and is gifted with the seemingly useless talent of “Village Building” instead of something spectacularly po

Game Industry News

I’m back with another Fall 2021 series for this week’s Anime Sunday. It’s my Banished Slow Life Episode 01 Impressions! Plot: The plot is okay, it’s a fairly standard Fantasy story with the premise “Hero journey out and defeat the Demon King” story. What’s different about this is that it focuses on the self-exiled older brother of said Hero who after being berated by one of his annoying jerk of a party member decides to just leave and live in the boonies where he’s massively overpowered compared

Lost Garden

INTRODUCTION The problem with picking up sticks Recently I was designing the harvesting and crafting system for our Animal Crossing-like game Cozy Grove when I ran into a problem: picking up a stick is not that fun.

Can We Even Put Human Stories in Video Games Anyway?

The Bottom Feeder

A really good, polished game that tries something different? Oooh! Let’s dig into this! My family just finished playing the hit co-op game It Takes Two. It's a two-player-only adventure through the mysteries of the human heart. I played it with my wife, and our teenager who was on hand to help us out when the game got too hard. It's a very fun game with very unusual writing, and it's extremely and deservedly popular.

Star Trek: Discovery – All is Possible: You Just Have to be Open to It

Game Industry News

HERE THERE BE SPOILERS. There’s honestly a lot to love about “ All Is Possible.” In some ways, it feels very much like a return to a familiar past. There’s a downed shuttlecraft with no help in sight and a group of cadets thrown together who must learn to work together if they are to survive. Meanwhile, the Ni’Var plot offers us political intrigue that Burnham and Saru can solve in twenty minutes of conversation, and Discovery takes that directly from TNG tropes.
