A game jam for the fediverse community from July 14th to July 23rd! Anyone is welcome to join and all of the main communication about the jam will be taking place within the fediverse

Open sourcing games you make for it is recommended so people in the community can learn from what you did. Youll also be able to show off your game around the fediverse communities while the jams running and after it ends

More information can be found in the linked jam page as well as the button to hit to sign up

Hope you enjoy! :)

Team finder thread

Godot 4.1 Beta 2 has released, with the full 4.1 release coming early July.

Just wondering if this community would be cool to game showcases, or if its focused more on the engine itself?

So my problem is that I can't stay committed to one project for more than a day.

It starts with "Wow, I have some idea", I create an empty project, work on it for a few hours, and then quit. I keep repeating this pattern.

I just want to finish something.

Welcome to Welcoming Wednesday! This is a day all about helping new people start to use the engine!

Feel free to post resources to help people start using it and if you're new feel free to post questions, etc. and things that you're struggling with

Hello everyone! The idea of a game jam got thrown out in one of the threads in the godot community and I wanted to throw out the question here to gauge how many people would be interested in having one run!

If so, some things that would need to be determined are when to run it and for how long should it running for. In addition there was the idea of having it be about making tutorial projects to show off what game engines can do and how to do things in them (referring to Godot but can be generalized to all of them). Or we can instead just run a standard game jam and possibly have that as an optional diversifier if people want

For those who don't know what a game jam is its an event where you make a game in a small period of time (2 days, 3 days, 2 weeks, etc. depending on the jam)

Feel free to comment below to give some input on how the jam should be run if you're interested or upvote to show interest in the idea! If enough people are ill set up a jam page

Welcome to Tutorial Tuesday! This is a weekly thread where you can post any kind of tutorial for how to do things using Godot or request one from others

Text tutorials, video tutorials, image tutorials, linking to a post in the community, etc. are all allowed. If you feel it deserves its own post feel free to instead post it as a separate post and then link it here

I stomped across this Lemmy community in r/Godot so I thought I give it a try and show you the project I'm currently working on. Still try to figure this Lemmy stuff out. I already noticed I can see post from this with my mastodon account but not sure if I can fully use an account from an mastodon instance on Lemmy.

Would be nice to have a few more people from r/godot in here. But I was a bit hesitant to write a post myself as I am not the creator of this community.

Also I'm not sure what the reddit mods would think about it, because they are not participating in reddark.

What do you guys think?

Wanted to do a post to see what things you guys want in this community! If we get enough interest for certain things we can start running them

For example I started a thing called showcase sunday that I'll be running every week with weekly posts for people to talk about their game projects. In addition I've got a question of the day going where theres a new question for people to answer every day

Feel free to comment some suggestions down below! Also if anyone is interested in helping out with running the community feel free to also comment or send me a message (dm button is in my profile)

I saw a mod over at blahaj doing this and figured it makes sense to compile a list here as well with all the spots popping up in the fediverse!

If you have any other communities to add feel free to comment them and I can add them to the list

Important Notes - If you get a 404 error you need to search for the community first (Example) - You get no results from searching but you can now navigate to it

The start of a series of daily questions to promote some discussion in the community! What are some games made with Godot that you really enjoyed or thought were impressive?

I actually don't know how cross posting is supposed to work so I hope I'm doing it right. I originally shared this in a general game dev community but I want to share it here as well since it's Godot

Are you making anything in Godot? Feel free to discuss it below or show off your progress!
