wurdweb recently left Apple Arcade and @aran.sokpop.co and I have been too busy to re-release the game on the App Store immediately, so, understandably, players have been emailing me to ask "where is it?!". HOWEVER, this particular email had an absolutely wild plottwist 🤪

the reality is a bit more messy, of course. not every bug is addressed immediately, nor is every feature implemented (far from it), and not always do complete strangers spend their free time fixing your issues. but when things do come together, it really is a beautiful collaboration.

i think that’s the price you pay with free & open source. not as a sunk cost, but as an investment, because every fix or improvement due to something you report or suggest benefits you in the most optimal way possible. a fix for YOUR bug. a feature for YOUR workflow. that’s the promise.

I think “the deal” (loosely implied) with open source software like Godot is that if you run into an issue with Godot, you make an issue report or a proposal to improve it. that is the only way things get better. Godot doesn’t have a QA department. Or a full time usability team. It’s on you.

at first i thought your “where’s my computer gone?” series was silly, but now i’ve become appreciative, even jealous, of the fact that you consistently seek out and make time to be off screen and in nature. it’s a powerful message about a balanced life, really. good Art. thanks jake. 🙏🏼

the export itself is as solid as the other platforms. there’s two ‘annoyances’: - codesigning and notarization. notarization isn’t necessary for steam. codesigning is. - these can only be done from macOS. meaning you need a mac, or access to a remote mac.

i’ve looked at the 47 PRs in depth (the number came from me) and genAI’s impact on the actual code was minor, thus concluding that you were backstabbed might be overly dramatic. i’ve also read a draft of the new policies for AI and it is far more restrictive than the internet seems to think it is.

i guess what I am saying is, i agree with you that genAI is absolutely terrible for social and environmental reasons and i will never use it for any of my games for many more reasons. and at the same time, it is so widespread that you really can not avoid using something touched by it.

if an experienced contributor used genAI for assistance (and not as much code generation) on an otherwise human authored PR for a piece of software you use, would you say that you were the one that used AI? if so, what about your use of bsky, ypur browser, your OS, dependencies of other softwares?

i agree that many balanced views are just a glorified way of maintaining the status quo, but i just don’t see how an open source project with no AI tools, which openly discourages AI, and scrutinizing AI contributions, is even close to a balanced stance?

This tool is at the heart of Hidden Folks 2. The game relies heavily on sprite pivots for y-sorting and our simple animation style that involves rotating around the pivot. We explored whether something like this could be part of vanilla Godot but It Was Complicated™: github.com/godotengine/...

most maintainers don't touch it though. having looked at the actual merged PRs, there's 2 core maintainers who've used it for a few PRs, and 2 more core maintainers who've experimented with it, but otherwise you can't really speak of setting a precedent or example I think.

I worry often about the UX of #godotengine. The engine's UX is fairly consistent because many features are written by a small number of people. But as there isn't a UX designer going over everything, I feel a responsibility to call out inconsistencies or weird workflows when I see PRs or proposals for new features. One example: someone implemented GDScript `Traits`, but many people want it to use
