Honestly, i didn't dislike using UE4, but i do think its, and Epic's, market share is a net negative on the industry overall and would love seeing a wider variety of engines being popularized.

i was enjoying my time with Godot when i was actively working in it.

i also really love the charm of working with more limited or constrained engines, like Pico8, and just realized there is a Godot extension for running lua meaning that one could run Pico8 within Godot...

Wow! This is an era of gaming I never thought I'd see again!

I was not a big Source nor Gary's Mod fan/user, but I loved it existing! Plus have been feeling like modern game dev being stuck with just two major "engines" has felt so stale...

Sea Salt Cafe / A Cool Website For Pixel Artis...
Last post by Slumber - Mar 19, 2026, 07:44 PM
Just learned about this place today: https://pixeljoint.com/

As they describe it: "Pixel Joint is a community dedicated to pixel art. If you are a pixel artist or just a pixel art fan it's worth registering so you can add comments, save favorites, rate pixel art, engage in the forum and submit your pixel art creations."

It has a submissions gallery and a forum of its own! I definitely want to spend some time here in the future.

Quote from: Tinc on Mar 13, 2026, 01:28 AMOkay, never mind. I went to do some cursory investigation to see what their contribution guidelines are and this took me 2 seconds

AGENTS.md in the repo has guidelines for AI Agents working on their codebase (basically like a README. I was actually looking for a CONTRIBUTING dot md, which is typical in open-source projects for *human* contributors to know the process for submitting code).

Ugh, then that's enough for me. No matter how well meaning, making a platform off of AI is untrustworthy. Assuming the AI bubble doesn't pop and the tech is around forever, it will certainly not be as easily available forever. I am positive they will start raising the prices on their tech and making it harder and harder for people to access and use. The elites are never happy to share something that is actually valuable. Which means that one day the people making this platform with AI will no longer have access to the tools to continue building and maintaining it. And then no human person or team will be able to pick up the project. It's dead before it even gets to live.

I am watching the video now to give it a good shake, and I agree--I think he's hitting a lot of good points and has a lot of good thoughts and directions for the project.

This is really tough...
