Going into some more depth on making the new features and the troubles I faced along the way, while giving advice to future projects looking to try the same thing.

Also, I announced in the blog post that GodotOS will be open source when it releases! Look forward to it.

Great video comparing the built-in Godot physics to the Godot-Box2D and Godot-Rapier2D extensions.

If you've ever played around with 2D physics you'd know that Godot's implementation is... Really lacking and jittery. The two extensions are still relatively new so they're not as feature complete, but they're already a huge improvement. Cheers to https://appsinacup.com/ for creating both extensions.

Some people asked for a devlog, so here's my experience working on GodotOS (not an actual OS by the way, just a program that resembles one). There's a new preview video inside and some more info on the project.

I'm making a fake operating system interface in Godot called GodotOS. Here's a sneak peek!

This is around 4 days of work. GodotOS is a proof of concept so I can learn more about Godot's UI systems. It's going very well so far. Right now you can open, minimize, and close windows while browsing folders and text files in user://files/.

My next goal (aside from adding more functionality) is to have viewports in windows so you can play games in your game.

Casey Yano, one of the devs at MegaCrit (Slay the Spire devs) just released a blog post on his initial impressions for Godot after exploring it with their 3-week jam game Dancing Duelists

TextMeshPro is phenomenal though. I miss it. Please, just let me vertically center my auto-sizing min/max set font text into a clean rectangle.

I feel this. Still upset there's no toggle to vertically center text. I also generally agree that sprite/texture atlases more complicated to use than they should be. The rest of the blog post is pretty positive and insightful, it's a good read.

Shame the AI messed up wednesday...

Original survey link: https://forms.gle/7Bu3Tyi5fufmY8Vc8

Thanks for all the answers, here are the results for the survey in case you were wondering how you did!

Edit: People working in CS or a related field have a 9.59 avg score while the people that aren’t have a 9.61 avg.

People that have used AI image generators before got a 9.70 avg, while people that haven’t have a 9.39 avg score.

Edit 2: The data has changed slightly! Over 1,000 people have submitted results since posting this image, check the dataset to see live results. Be aware that many people saw the image and comments before submitting, so they've gotten spoiled on some results, which may be leading to a higher average recently: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MkuZG2MiGj-77PGkuCAM3Btb1_Lb4TFEx8tTZKiOoYI

Hey everyone. I made a casual survey to see if people can tell the difference between human-made and AI generated art. Any responses would be appreciated, I'm curious to see how accurately people can tell the difference (especially those familiar with AI image generation)
