Hi :)
I'm here to show you the (current) entire process of creating your own skill effect inside the engine!
Lots of work is still needed on the graph system, but it's a start! =)

Things do get better. Let me tell you about my massive progress on Samerion Studio, my hopes for the future, and some ramblings about software engineering. Come accompany me in this maze?
This article marks 1 year of Samerion's Journal!
My interactive tween guide for Godot is out !
If you have trouble using tweens, adding "Juice" or picking the right transition, it should hopefully help!
The guide is free and will always be 🩵

The tragedy of today's #gamedev is that majority of developers jumped or started with ready game engines and it becomes extremely difficult to seek articles and videos about rendering techniques, because you ask, for example, "how to do instancing" and you get 1000000000 posts on how to do that in unreal/unity/godot.
No, I want how to do that manually, with my own code, I don't want to dig through the layers of someone else's abstractions to do things that I can do with 10 lines of code.
When you are doing #gamedev it's crucial to find the right people to work with. I've started a new game project and in this first week we've accomplished more on this new project than we did in months on the previous one.
I wrote a benchmark of game engine performance primarily geared towards the types of 2D games that are popular these days.
Here are the results for Flutter, Flame, Unity and Godot. It's a long read with many caveats, so buckle up.

Tried to make my terrain graphics look nicer from top-down, and it worked out much better than I thought? #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

New #blog post! We had the pleasure of speaking with @kinmoku about their incredibly nostalgic visual novel #VIDEOVERSE, which recently got a Japanese translation! We spoke about the nostalgia of 90s and early 2000s Internet culture and how the relationships we make in games like VIDEOVERSE reflect the ways we interact in online spaces. Interview available in English and Japanese!

Following a social media post in support of LGBTQ+ game developers, Godot is now getting review-bombed on Steam. After 7 years of glowing reviews, this game engine has received nearly 1,000 negative reviews in the past week. #godotengine #GameDev #GameDevelopment

Surely this can’t be the first time someone’s had the sense to combine a Slay The Spire-style roguelite progression with old-school NES-like turn-based combat? Surely? But I’ve never seen it until now, in the excellent-looking Star Spark. And I want to be playing it already! The sprite art, the feisty animations, and the pumped up music are all on point.](/proxy/post_attachment/919591/152461a948.png "A screenshot of the Star Spark section in the post on Kotaku (https://kotaku.com/indie-games-steam-wishlist-thanksgaming-2025-2000648051).

We are nearing the first stable release of Fruits and Tails, our little browser game! For anyone interested, we'll be showcasing it in Divadlo X10 in Prague at the Frame Festival, with a presentation on Saturday at 18:00. Looking forward to seeing you!
New Site Post: Project Wasp
https://bumblebeegames.eu/project-wasp.html
Finally getting that actual announcement and pitch for #ProjectWasp out there.
My early and still somewhat vague plans for making a first-person RPG/ImSim game with 90s graphics in Godot, heavily inspired by Morrowind, Thief, and Fallout.
What common evils lurk in your world? So common everyone basically ignores it? Like, I come from a country with free healthcare, and every time I see the American system in action, I can't help feel that is evil in its purest form.
