1. Question

   Godot 4 export: my demo .pck is 870 MB but the demo uses 2 levels. How do I export only what the demo needs ?

   Actually I am preparing the demo of my fishing game for the next Next Fest. Problem: the demo export is 870 MB. The full game is 1.1 GB. The demo has 2 lakes out of 9. Something is wrong and I think it is me. What I tried: Export mode "Export selected scenes (and dependencies)" with only the demo main scene ticked. The export is small, but it crashes when it loads lake 2, because the lakes are loaded by path from a…

   my first game jam: 48 hours, 1 stray cat, 0 sleep, 31 ratings ~

   okay so i did my first game jam!! 🐈 a small one on itch, 48 hours, theme was "one more lap", about 400 entries. my idea: a stray cat in a temple town has to walk around the temple 108 times before the gates close, like a pradakshina, but every lap something changes. a monkey steals your snack, the flower seller moves her basket, it starts raining. you only have to survive one more lap. and then one more. what went…

   Steam wishlists: my honest numbers after 9 months of a 'coming soon' page

   Since my Steam page went live in November I get the same DM every week: "how many wishlists, is it good ?" So voilà, everything, the good and the plate. The total Wishlists added: 3,412 Wishlists deleted: 272 Net: 3,140 after 9 months Where they came from My best estimate, from UTM links in Steamworks and the traffic breakdown: Reddit GIF posts: ~31%. One GIF did about 600 alone: the fish stares at the camera while…

5. Video

   Bret Victor, Inventing on Principle (2012). Watch at least the platformer part: he changes the code and the game changes while it runs, and he scrubs time back. This is why I care so much about iteration time, and why live reload in Godot matters more to me than any feature list !

   Why I left Unity for Godot (and no, it is not only the runtime fee)

   Bonjour. I am making a weird fishing game in Godot since almost 2 years. Before, I was 8 years in a big AAA studio in Montréal, and my personal projects were all in Unity. People ask me often why I switched, so voilà, the long answer. The short history, for the people who were not there 12 September 2023 : Unity announces the Runtime Fee. A fee per install, starting 1 January 2024, once your game passes a revenue…
