Why are more game studios looking at #Godot?
Our very own @Structed joined a fireside chat with @ExitGames to discuss why the engine is attracting more attention. It's a conversation close to our hearts at GodotFest. After all, Godot means business!

Why are more studios looking at #Godot?
We talked to Johannes Ebner (@Structed) of @GodotFest about pro workflows, consoles, web and what multiplayer needs. GodotFest is Nov 3-4 in Munich, and we’re sponsoring @MeetToMatch.

Part 3 of Simple Brawler (Photon Quantum) is up.
Fixing mid-air jumping and falling forever: a Physics3D raycast ground check, a FallBox trigger + custom signal for respawning, and round-robin spawn points so players don’t stack.

"Oh, but these ragdolls are random, right? They're not in sync."
No. Everything is in sync. All of it runs on Quantum's deterministic engine.

How do you hide a killer when every client shares the same game state?
In @4PennyCoffins, @Other_Ocean made the secret barely worth stealing: you need evidence to convict the Ripper, not a lucky guess.

Part 2 of Simple Brawler is up.
This one's about the view layer: a Cinemachine camera that follows the local player, character animation driven by simulation velocity, and Quantum Data Assets so gameplay values aren't hardcoded anymore.

Back from #MetaConnect2026. We tried the new Meta #VR Glasses: 70° FOV instead of 110° on Quest 3, but a big gain in comfort and sharper text. Our recap covers the glasses and how to prep your app before launch.

Finally got back to adding Mechs into RC Brains, my Social VR RC vehicle game, powered by @ExitGames's Fusion.
AI changed my workflow entirely in the last 2 months. I was already using AI, but these last 2 months feel CRAZY.
For example, while I’m not at my desk, Claude runs automated tests and sends me videos of what broke or worked. All on my phone!
If you want to learn more about this workflow, our latest session is here:
