My game "Pew Pew Pew: Danger Zone!" running on a Steamdeck

Developing "Pew Pew Pew: Danger Zone!"

As hinted at to be my plan in my post about my first proper gamedev experience back in April, I recently took part in my first ever gamejam, Go Godot Jam 4, and during that built a game called “Pew Pew Pew: Danger Zone!”. The jam required all submissions to be built in Godot Engine, which was one of the reasons I chose it - I just recently got my feet wet in game development with Godot 4 and wanted to get some more practice in....

How to export a Godot 4 game to run on the web on itch.io

On the Go Godot Jam 4 Discord I just saw some people having issues with how to get HTML5 exports from Godot 4 to work on itch.io, and since I just had to do this for my own game submission to the jam as well I decided to jot my steps down here (and on the Discord too) as it seems to be a bit of a pain for people....

Some game design centric YouTube recommendations

The path to Super Bunny Hoppers

For my 40th birthday a few weeks ago, I got a pretty amazing gift from my partner: a coupon for a personal 4-day Gamejam/Gamedev experience, just the two of us. I’ve been a gamer pretty much my whole life, I’ve been a coder pretty much my whole life, but I never so far managed to combine these things. Apart from copying some Star Trek game code in BASIC from a book in my teens, the probably quite common tinkering around with the parameters in gorilla....

How to create an animated tile in Godot 4's tilemaps

Over the past four days I’ve been doing a personal crash course on game development together with my partner1, ending up in building a small platformer in two days. We decided to use Godot Engine, as I had been circling it for a while now 2, and it turned out this decision was good because it was been a quite amazing experience, even for a total gamedev beginner like me 👍...
