#introduction time, figured we should make a proper Mastodon account for #spacestation14 itself to post progress reports and stuff with.
We're a 100% #opensource multiplayer game about disaster on a space station.
I figured this instance would be a good place for this account since we're open source and anybody can contribute!

Did you know that we have a FOSS flight simulator, FlightGear?

Wildfire Games would like to send you its best wishes for 2024! May you have a prosperous New Year!

I've seen some WASM users run into issues where connecting to servers that run old versions of the game would force them to re-download all of the game data. While that's not a general game issue I've now separated code from art assets on the platform to generally alleviate re-download of content.

Third, er, Fourth try's the charm? You found some bugs that needed fixing before the full release of OpenTTD 15. Let's do one last (we hope) Release Candidate.
We've fixed two crashes related to station windows and signs, a hang related to implicit orders, and have stopped cacti from dying off completely with some tree spread settings.

Recently I was hosting our yearly LAN-Party for around 14 people. This year, I had decided to fully embrace #FOSS games despite most of the players not being as FOSS-adjacent as me.

Godot uses 64-bit integers, so the max value is 2^63 - 1, but the RandomNumberGenerator uses 32-bit integers, where the max value is 2^31 - 1.
Keep this in mind while generating big random int numbers.
I just found a bug in my code, where I generated dates using unix timestamps. If the unix time stamp is bigger than 2^31 - 1, or January 19 2038, it will overflow and restart at 0.

Naev 0.13.0-beta.2 is out!
A few issues have been fixed, but by far the most notable change in this (pre-)release is the swap to lossy assets. Naev will now use lossy AVIF and less bloated Vorbis files internally (with support for Opus audio on the way)
Already the game's download sizes have been slashed by 60-70%!!

Take a grid, for each line add 1 to all points on a randomly picked side of that line, paint points black if the result equals 0 to 1 mod 4, and you get a hitomezashi pattern.

Fun comparison: Just the male/female hero sprites total 140 MiB, which is slightly larger than the *entire* game data included in v1.14.
-
I finally got around to updating the female hero sprites. Thankfully, most of the hard work (lighting, textures, etc) was done for the male sprites.
In the same vein, I've come close to completing the NPCs as well. They now have 8 directions, instead of just facing east or south.

They say that making "roguelikes" makes things easier for developers.
But Rogue devs wanted a game that was exciting every time you played it. That is definitely HARDER than making a game that is exciting once.
Procgen games take ages to mature. Otherwise they feel repetitive.
For example:

1.19.16 has been released! This is a pretty quiet update overall, but of particular note is that the Wilderlands scenario is now again playable with AI controlled sides instead of slowing to a crawl after a few turns.

It's a little thing, but these boulders previously didn't have a "death" animation. So they would just kind of disappear.
With the art refresh, they now crumble as one would expect. All thanks to Blender's particle and physics systems. We really are blessed to have such and incredible tool for free.

Getting back to Flare dev after taking a bit of a break for the summer (Umamusume hit me like a freight train).
The "HD" art is getting there. I finished the rest of the snow tileset today, so that means all the original tilesets are complete.
I've also made an in-engine map generator. The system places pre-built "chunks" connected by "links". I plan to use this for a new dungeon in v1.15. Accessible from the start, but ties into the main story later.

Extremely exciting to see something built with #flarerpg take shape.
Andrew's been doing a fantastic job of pushing the boundaries of the engine. It's been pushing me to adapt new features and improve performance in way that I might not otherwise if I was just working on the Empyrean Campaign.

There should be a genre of "genreless" games. A good genreless game is good because it has unique ideas that make it different from everything else. At the same time, it is a perfect realization of that idea, and/or that idea is difficult to replicate, so it does not start a genre.

I have seen some backlash for Silksong destroying the game industry by being cheap, while it is just one game that one cannot even play forever.

1.19.14 has been released. This update adds additional animations for the Dunefolk Horse Archer, Marauder, Raider, Rider, Windbolt, Firetrooper, and Scorcher. Additionally, you can now save a scenario and its settings as a game preset by clicking the Save Preset button in the game creation screen; saved presets can then be viewed and used in a new tab in the multiplayer lobby.

I've been playing around optimizing the temperature simulation. That's right, it's a full fledged simulation within the game! It's not only particular rooms that get cold... the cold spreads!
The stairs were not taken into account before, and there were some problems on choke points. So now I have optimized this to get a fast spread (so it doesn't take forever), and also fast in CPU terms (<1ms in my CPU).
What is shown in the video is a debug mode to understand and visualize temp flow - that's not part of the final game.

Fairly busy week, but I was able to patch up our sprite sheet packer tool to support multi-image Flare animation files.
This was essential, because the wyvern and minotaur images are huge. Each of their actions is 8 frames, which is already more than a lot of the other creatures. Unpacked as a single sheet, they're each over 20K pixels wide! My target for images is <4096px square to support (relatively) older gfx cards. I can hit that goal if each action is its own file.
#flarerpg #gamedev

Wyverns and minotaurs are now in the new scale. Roughly around the half-way point now. Here's the progress:
- Player: 64/129
- Enemies: 15/26
- NPCs: 0/8
- Loot: 38/38
- Menus: 30/37
- UI widgets: 14/15

A look at the abandoned "choria new" branch: https://choria.gitlab.io/news/#chorianew2019
This video looks at the work done to choria and the engine for a few months in 2019. Unfortunately, work resumed on the playable "legacy" branch of choria in June 2020, which again became the primary development branch. Since the branches have diverged so much, a lot of work would have to be done to bring over these new changes. Some features however have been ported over, like the personal stash and dialogue system.

Cave tileset is just about done. Something fun I thought I'd try is animated water. There are already 28 unique water tiles, so I wanted to keep the frame count as low as possible. I think I got decent results with 2 frames. #flarerpg #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #rpg #arpg

I moved the contents of a whole server to another cloud provider last week merely on a whim, but that process was practically lossless. :)
Maybe I'll give it some days...
-
Well, I have been considering mastodon.nu which is a local instance and ticks basically all of my criteria, but I don't know whether the federation will suffer on a non-English instance which may be a bit more isolated from the rest of the international network.
I used to post from there on another account and it was sometimes hard to interact with other parts of the network without poking and prodding to make it fetch the posts. But it would still be doable though.
-
The perfect instance for me would be a self-hosted single user instance with as few moving parts as possible while still being able to interact across the Fediverse, and which could degrade to a static microblog if necessary. But I don't think that exists in a ready to use state unfortunately.
-
I've been through enough things happening with Fosstodon that I really have no excuse to not have moved to another instance earlier.
But I have always dragged my feet on it because of how old posts will be left behind on the old instance. Having to move again because I end up with the same situation on another instance is just terrible. It gives me decision anxiety.
(and I have no real idea to what instance to move either)
-
Apparently there have been Fedi meta I have not been caught up to. Oh no.
-
One of the trickier assets to migrate has been the blast animation for the Burn spell. It (like most VFX) is fairly emissive and has a transparent background, so the alpha gets messed up. There's the "Alpha Convert" node, but that doesn't completely fix it. Then, the fire/smoke particles were drawn as "halos", which no longer exist in EEVEE or Cycles.
I think I managed to get pretty close to the original look.

It's gone about a week since the IP spoofing attack happened now. I still haven't received a response from OVH on the abuse reports, but the server is still somehow up.
One would assume they would respond to say the tickets are resolved? Either they did that without saying or the server is still in limbo.
Doesn't really matter anymore though when I've gotten a better deal for a server elsewhere and have moved everything over by now. And so it goes.

Surely it's not publicly accessible, right?

I have a list of domains for old internet communities that I have been part of in the past, but that have since been shut down. While the servers are down, people usually hold onto the domain name, so I occasionally like to check if anyone is home.
Usually it's just the same browser error, site can't be reached. The domain has no IP associated anymore, or what was hosted is since long gone. Nothing to see here, move on.
-
I assume it's because we have an object in the game called a Cam Marker that is used to select where the screenshot is taken, and people assume this is something managed and taken on the client-side while they are uploading the level, and if it doesn't show up then they are doing something wrong.
No, you are not doing anything wrong. You do not need to worry about this. It is done on the server. I will fix things up whenever I can and the levels will get thumbnails eventually.
-
And if a thumbnail doesn't show up in a minute or two then that's because the screenshotter isn't running.
Maybe it's because someone thought it was fun to crash the screenshotter with a bug they found, or maybe the whole server is being moved and there is a banner at the top of the site saying some things are broken in the meantime.
It's something I need to fix, there's nothing you as a player need to do. You'll just have to be patient and expect some "No thumbnail" images for a while.
-
I don't understand why it's so hard for people to grasp how screenshots of uploaded levels are taken in Principia.
We have a stripped down version of the game running on the server (containerised ofc) that when opening a level will take a screenshot at an appropriate position, and then it'll be processed into a thumbnail that gets put in the thumbnails folder.
For some reason people think I'm joking when I say this. I'm really not.
-
The catch up blogs continue! Lots of exciting details in this week's edition including sprite work, airships, and more!
https://veloren.net/blog/devblog-246/
-
I have finally finished the initial move of the Principia community site and related services to a new server hosted by @hetzner, and everything is going smoothly so far.
Some things are still broken and not set up yet, but the biggest disaster has been averted.
-
The criteria I can think of for anything new I'm moving onto would be:
- Affordable (the current VPS is around 7€/mo)
- In the EU with an option for English language
- Decent DDoS protection that doesn't blackhole you or fuck you over from IP spoofing (I hope the reason for this is obvious)
And for context, the specs of the current one is 1 vCore, 2GB RAM, 40GB NVMe, 250mbps. It's about as low as possible for what it's hosting, but I haven't been able to get anything more powerful.
-
It is currently the Easter holidays, I don't know how many days they have to resolve the ticket but I assume that OVH's automated systems will terminate the server before anyone comes back into the office to see my replies.
So it seems like I should begin preparing a new server to move everything over to. But I don't know where, and my shoestring budget is limiting the options available.
If anyone sees this who would be able to help out with the current situation that would be appreciated.
-
To sum the situation:
- On Friday the Principia's infra got hit by a DDoS
- The attack was mitigated by our cloud provider OVH
- I begin to receive multiple abuse reports about malicious traffic from the server
- I bring things down to investigate, but cannot find any evidence of compromise
- I conclude it is likely IP spoofing from the DDoS, respond to the reports as such
- No response from OVH
- Today Saturday, I receive an automated email from OVH telling me to respond (ofc I respond again)
-
Update on the current situation: OVH has sent me an automated email telling me to respond to the abuse reports, which I already have, or they will terminate the service. Likely nobody at OVH is reading my responses on an Easter weekend and now Kafka is staffing their automated abuse process.
I assume the server will automatically go down within a day or two, I'm considering jumping ship and am currently scrambling to find backup options to move Principia infrastructure onto.
-
The Principia community site and related infrastructure is currently down because of a DDoS attack on the server it's running on.
Whoever is doing it must also be spoofing IPs or something because I'm receiving abuse reports of traffic that claims to be coming from the server, but is nowhere to be seen and there's no indication of a compromise.
If anyone has some idea of WTF is happening please reach out because I have no idea what to do
-
However, Principia has still been available on #itchio for some time now. It's free to download, or you can choose to pay what you want for it.
https://rollerozxa.itch.io/principia
-
Steam Greenlight stopped existing many years ago and the page for Principia there is also completely gone.
I have no idea how it looks internally since I don't have access to that, but it's probably safe to say any kind of grandfathering process has expired by now and Principia would need to be resubmitted to Steam, with all the hoops that'd entail.
And I'm not particularly thrilled about doing that personally. Hoped for it to be published by Bithack but it's likely not happening anytime soon.
-
Back in 2014, Principia was submitted to Steam Greenlight, and subsequently ended up being greenlit. Unfortunately the news came a bit too late, and Principia ended up being abandoned before a Steam release happened.
Now that the game is seeing new development as an #opensource project the topic of Principia on #Steam has been brought up again throughout the years, assuming since it was greenlit it should be as simple as just uploading the game and releasing it now.
Unfortunately it is not.
-
-
Skeletons and antlions are now rendered in the higher scale. Also continuing to experiment with the textures and lighting.
The antlions were particularly tricky, since their texture was colored mostly through specular lighting, which didn't translate well to EEVEE. Since I had to create from scratch, I decided to go for a two-tone look.

The new Principia building contest is now live! 🎉
The theme is Puzzles. In particular, the newly reintroduced puzzle level type of the game. Create the most interesting puzzle you can think of to win the contest.
Good luck!
https://principia-web.se/contest/2
#foss #gaming
-
Last year I hosted the first Principia building contest after the game's open source release, about 10 years after the last official building contest was hosted before the game's sudden abandonment.
Now we'll be having another building contest next week, and hopefully it will become a regular occurrence again. The idea will be simple: Two weeks, one theme, build the best thing you can possibly think of in Principia.
See you soon!

Apparatus was taken down from Google Play around the same time Principia was. But there is a page on the Principia Wiki about Apparatus, which contains download links for the game as well as some more information about it:
https://principia-web.se/wiki/Apparatus
The game is pretty old at this point, and it hasn't gotten the same open source treatment and attention as Principia has. Principia has pretty much overshadowed it in every way, even with its rough history.
-
Did you know that Principia was the sequel to the 2011 #Android hit Apparatus?
It reached the top of the charts at the time as the #1 best selling game in its category, #1 top rated game and handpicked as Editor's Choice for several months on Android Market (wow, remember when it was called that?).
Unfortunately sequels aren't always successful. But at least Principia lives on as an open source project, free from expectations of commercial game projects.
#FreeSoftware #gaming #foss
-
Back in Apparatus I always liked the mazes people would make using the red interactive cylinders to drag it through the maze.
You could still make one of those in Principia, though there are plenty of more ways you could create mazes in Principia with the tools that are given to you in the sandbox.
Maybe I will start a contest about it to force people to entertain me with mazes. 
-
"Principia is a super advanced complex sandbox game with circuitry and electronics and Lua scripting and robotics and robots and puzzles and cuddles..."
Don't know about the last one... But have a marble maze. Navigate the ball through the maze by shifting the gravity, like you were playing one of those mobile maze games. Guranteed victory.
https://principia-web.se/level/14
#foss #gaming
-
For every level on the community site and the archive, you can press the Edit button to open it in the sandbox, look around and see what really makes a level tick.
Previously, trying to open older levels (as in, created in 1.4 or older) would result in an empty level due to some level loading bugs. But this has been fixed in the latest 2025.04.05 release allowing you to open such older levels in the sandbox again.
#foss #gaming
-
Principia has had a #Lemmy instance hosted on Sopuli (but available from any other federated Lemmy instance) for a while now:
https://sopuli.xyz/c/principia
To create some more activity there, I've recently begun posting picks of great levels I find from the wealth of thousands of uploaded user creations in the Principia community site archive. Browse, play and upvote your favourites!
#foss #gaming
-
And of course, the classic Principia puzzle package still remains available, featuring 31 levels where you build contraptions of varying complexity to help robots reach the goal, through any means necessary.
https://principia-web.se/classic-puzzles
#foss #gaming #puzzles
-
In case you missed it, the new 2025.04.05 release of Principia last week reintroduces #puzzles as a new level type you can create in the sandbox. Create and play custom puzzles in Principia, just like in the old days!
With this, there is also a new section for user created puzzles on the community site, which is bound to expand in the future: https://principia-web.se/latest/puzzle
The #OpenSource version of Principia continues to evolve, as #FreeSoftware available for #Linux, #Windows, #Android and more!

And the new system I decided it is going to be AM5. If I have to replace everything to be sure, I will do it well. So 9800X3D it is with DDR5.
-
I had a 5800X for over 4 years, seems that it was defective since the beginning on the PCIe controller. I just pushed it too far on last Saturday that it completely broke...
-
My computer broke last Saturday and after day and a half of debugging, disassembling and reassembling, seems CPU+motherboard needs replacement... So no computer until new parts arrive. At least for a week.... No Unhaunter development will happen... Sad.

TPT 99.3 is out! Since there were so many bugfixes this month, we decided to do another minor release. Some of the bugs are very old, like gravity wall leaks while undoing, or an infinite pressure bug in the corner. Others were new, like elements being missing in certain older saves.
-
1.18.4 has been released! Again it's a fairly quiet update, with multiple fixes made for the Eastern Invasion campaign.
As usual, for more details see https://r.wesnoth.org/t59110

Windows users using the portable version of 99.1 will get a GAME CRASH when updating to 99.2. It is still safe to run the update. The old instance of TPT will bluescreen, and the new instance will launch. Close the old instance of TPT, and then delete the file Powder_upd.exe that it leaves behind.
-
Another new minor version has been released - TPT 99.2. It fixes some newly-added bugs from TPT 99.1. That means the fps display is back in line with how it was before (no 0.00 FPS while paused), and some bugs on high refresh rate monitors were fixed.

A new version of Edddy was released today. It introduces a Symmetrize operation that will save mappers a lot of time making things like fair CTF levels. Also, the Attributes tool now shows the current values of local attributes upon hovering, which makes this information much more easily accessible. Furthermore, the current coordinates of the 3D cursor are now displayed in the status bar, and tooltips have their action's keyboard shortcuts appended.

Big progress with #OpenCrystalCaves: levels 13 and 14 are done, including the “low gravity” mechanic!
Why the scare quotes? Because it doesn’t - as you might assume - make you jump higher, despite what the sign says. Instead it means when you fire it pushes you back a bit, so in “remaster” mode the signs are replaced with “heavy recoil” or “light recoil” depending on the level.

I want enemy designs in ShatteredPD's upcoming quest to be based in the existing regions, which gives me a chance to bring back and old enemy that was removed just about 6 years ago, the inexplicably bearded dwarven skeleton!

Devised a Steam game ranking system based on direct comparisons between games
Expectation: #roguelite metaprogression, gambling aesthetics, upgrade gambling will lose against #roguelike infinite replayability and freedom
Reality: Vampire Survivors wins, with a huge margin
(fun game BTW)

Making good progress getting to the sound data out of Wwise containers for Wolfstone 2D. It's a real nesting doll situation with data blobs located by headers inside containers inside more containers, phew!
But also added some juice to #CDogsSDL, with spinning stars for confused actors. So in this game, certain weapons induce a confusion status effect, which reverses your direction controls. The addition of stars adds a nice touch I think!

figured to scroll down the #naev hashtag a little, saw this
for a little update on the Rust rewrite: the proportion of Rust in the repository is currently 7.4%
maybe we can expect it to be completed in just a few short years from now 😛
if you know Rust and feel up to helping Naev with the transition, the tracking issue is still being updated: https://codeberg.org/naev/naev/issues/2890 - and thanks in advance if this reaches the right folks!

* Don't desync multiplayer clients when a train crashes
* When a helicopter runs out of fuel near the map edge, crash it within the map instead of the void (which crashes the whole game)
* Improve appearance of toolbars and main menu images/text with some non-default base sets such as aBase, biggui, and original TTD

Hi! im crack. Ive decided that this is now the neverball account, actually. I just think its a fun game you see! I heard its based off of "super monkey ball"? I never heard of it. the only games i've played is supertux 0.3.2 (specifically) and tuxpaint. Also i was joking about the neverball account thing by the way. I doubt they'd let me do that. Like i haven't even beaten Neverball medium fully. I mean, it's kind of a difficult game!
-
Hi! im crack! ah... nothing better then a game of neverputt after a long day of doing nothing productive. what a calming experience! #cracklovesneverball
-
hi! im crack. This is my the supertux mastadon account.I am your new evil ruler. Don't bow to me, because im honestly just a chill guy, just nonchalant like that. But i am not nonchalant when i play the daily wordle. wow! how it makes my blood boil. I feel like i should stop but.. the green squares keep me coming back! Maybe i should play good games... like supertux instead. and maybe some neverball too! what a fun title. how i love the city level music! It sure is a classic tune. ok im done bye
-
dontt have an april fools joke prepared sorry because my life is fucking empty right now. Hello just kidding. Hello thanks for playing v0.7.0. We're adding sex to Supertux tomorrow. Haha.

#TimeLapse #PixelArt animation made for the music video. Got to practice/learn some new techniques for this one, including using the curve tool for most of the picture (as opposed to pencil/brush which is usually the case for low res pixel art). My original plan for the animation was more ambitious but I ran out of spoons/time so it’s very rough. But I’m pleased with how parts of it turned out and trying new things!
-
Made a #chiptune #EDM kind of track
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-orVDgwdBZg
This track was built around a simple minor chord loop and ended up with an unusual structure - most of the track is an extended bridge - and I got to try some new techniques, so it's a bit unusual for me. The chord progression was hard to make a melody for but I think it turned out ok

The hard work in reverse engineering and extracting the Wolfstone data was already done by ECWolf et al so it wasn't too difficult, just porting and adapting the code from C++ to C for the most part. The technical details are pretty intense - the levels are kraken-encoded in IDCL containers, and the sound files are OGG Vorbis but in Wwise sound banks. If that sounds like gibberish to you you're not alone! Games just love proprietary formats (except for a short, glorious era around the late 90's)
-
A tiny enhancement to #CDogsSDL - sprite variations. Notice how the plants in the screenshot are not quite identical? No? Oh well. I guess being unnoticeable is the point "( – ⌓ – )
But also, reached a milestone: we can extract the level data from Wolfstone! (It's a Wolf3D easter egg in Wolfenstein 2) Although the levels are identical to Wolf3D so there's not much to show yet, haha...

The reason this account looks like it's ran by 3 insane peoploe is because there are 3 insane peoeple who develop the game. One of them eats glue. No idea wwhat the other 2 do anymore.

I need advice for my game @99managers
that I want to release it for Android soon, but I still don't know how to price it there.
The plan is to do the same as I'm doing for PC, where the game is free on itch.io, Flathub etc. but payed on Steam. So I would release the game for Android for free on F-Droid and other platforms but payed on Google Play Store for a price between 1€ and 5€.
Any suggestions or experience to share about this?

More behind-the-scenes work in #CDogsSDL, but also another small UX feature: dust particle effect when the player slides
Sliding is a key feature of C-Dogs but is a bit hidden - you need to press the slide key while moving in a direction, and there was otherwise no feedback. Years ago I added a “sshhhh” sound effect which helped players and video footage. With the addition of particles, this also helps GIFs and screenshots. It’s subtle but does the job!

#Baduki is the language of #Ekelplitfkin. It is written from left-to-right, with lines ordered bottom to top. The alphabet is phonemic, and graphemes within the same syllable are stacked. The name consists of BA (sound/word), DU (collection/heap) and -KI (indicates uniqueness), thereby meaning "the collection of words".

Shoutout to @bobbens ' side project to port the original Escape Velocity universe to Naev: https://codeberg.org/bobbens/YAEV_classic
besides being cool, it seems to be prompting many quite neat flexibility improvements to Naev's engine!

Another level done for #OpenCrystalCaves! Level 11 is relatively simple, claustrophobic and requires lots of backtracking in order to unlock the exit. The variety of challenge keeps a somewhat bland level interesting though, including a destructible-block section that you need to backtrack through so if you hit too many of the wrong blocks, you’d get yourself stuck. Keep your wits sharp to make it through!

I've just patched Shattered Pixel Dungeon to v3.3.5!
In addition to some smaller misc. changes, some enemies have been added to the tester area for the upcoming quest! They mainly exist to test out new enemy AI logic that's meant to better facilitate stealth gameplay.

A bit belated, but 1.19.20 has been released. Overall this is a fairly quiet release, but most notable is that several scenarios in Eastern Invasion have had weather effects added and the Rail terrain now has additional sprites when going over water and chasm.
As usual, for more details see https://r.wesnoth.org/t60430

The upcoming quest in Shattered Pixel Dungeon involves a more stealth than normal, and so enemy AI needs some tweaks to accommodate that. 'Investigating' is a new AI state that gives you just a little more time to duck away behind a corner or door.

Made a very special release of #CDogsSDL, featuring Super 2D Noah’s Ark, a Wolf3D mod, but in top-down 2D!
This release was almost 2 years in the making - exactly why it took so long will be covered in a retrospective soon, but for now if you’re so inclined, you can play it by getting both C-Dogs SDL and Super 3D Noah’s Ark from steam. It’s surprisingly fun!

* Town cargo graphs show correct dates

Steam Auto-Cloud cross-platform save game synchronization
--
I recently added cross platform save game synchronization to my game. It is designed to work with the Steam Auto-Cloud, without using the SteamSDK. Therefore no SteamSDK specific code is needed in the game. This make the game compatible also with other file synchronization software...

Hey folks, I've just released Shattered Pixel Dungeon v3.3.4! It's another small patch as I continue to make incremental improvements to the tester area for the new quest, plus fix a few bugs and make a few small other changes.

When using StringName in Godot, be aware that the comparing operators "<", ">", "==" etc do not compare by Unicode order, but the pointers.
I feel the StringName docs are a bit misleading: "Comparing them is extremely fast compared to regular Strings."
This could be my first PR to Godot docs, adding a note that StringNames compare differently than Strings.

It happened: I intentionally used a linked list for the first time of my life.
Now in my Futsal management game every competition is linked with the historical version of the previous season. So I can go back in history easily by looking up the previous ones.

Some of the latest additions to our Downloads section in the game menu include several tracks by Gunny, among them this spectacular WoodenRally, which is so remindful of the Rally of Finland.
No less important is the work done by @W-E-C on the interior and animated drivers of the Kafka Color RS1, as well as the setup by @RacingHeartGT and some touches from other users.
...and this video is an example of both:

Happy New Year Everyone, Shattered Pixel Dungeon has been patched to v3.3.2!
I've made some progress over the holidays on the new quest tester area. It's now entirely generated by the game's levelgen system, whereas the previous iteration was mostly hardcoded.
