I've noticed and felt this trend, but I haven't ever seen it put so well or really connected the dots with figma & pretty rectangles. I remember discussions over relative easy of use of gray box wireframes... and that led to b

If there were a coding model as good as opus that didn't know multiple languages, biology, etc, I would happily use it. But I'm not aware of one - are you? It actually seems somewhat difficult to train such a model since "all

Not OP but I've been thinking about this a lot (like everyone ha) and I think my answer is, yes? I hope there's a "good enough" point but I don't think we're there yet. Like for me hardware got good enough seve

Most of what you've said is true, but also largely unrelated to the content of the article, which is about funding research.

Really? I'm pretty unimpressed. I hope I would do better and "roll with it" more if my kids did that to me. Maybe I overestimate myself.

Directly from the dev of that game, who - since so few successful games have been released with Godot - often has random people point to R2V as an example: > this game is far from being the "Godot 3D Showcase" game since I har

So... One sequel that was a guaranteed success from day one, using any technology? Slay the spire is also one of the least demanding games, in one of the least demanding genres, for a game engine. In fact the devs specifically pointed this

Meanwhile, if you have more than 32 or so colors in a palette swatch, the color picker becomes permanently unusable for your project. Godot is so driven by whatever sounds neat to work on that it has three completely different rendering sys

And? I'm not advocating for buying jeans at Walmart. I'm using it as an illustration of the lower bounds of jeans pricing.
