Hey everyone! Figured I would do an AMA to kick off some activity in the IAmA community over here. Feel free to throw down some questions below and ill answer them
I'm currently a student in university and have been doing both web development and game development recently (web for internships, game on my own). Out of the four admins ive been the one mainly handling community creation and managing in the instance to make sure everythings running smoothly
Some other misc topics that I can answer about: I compose music & make pixel art, and my favorite games are minecraft, SCP:SL, everhood, battlerite, and metal slug 3
If anyone else wants to do an AMA feel free to start one up in the community (assuming it fits the instance). Any activity helps get the ball rolling for getting it active
Tabs due to accessibility
Favorite one currently is VS Code (been using it for everything except for developing in godot (in which I use the built in one) and work (using intellij))
React, date-fns, dotenv, forever.js, discord.js
Im a huge fan of a bunch of open source stuff (godot, inkscape, gimp, lemmy, blender, etc.) but one that I think is interesting that is a bit less known is a mod loader for godot https://github.com/GodotModding/godot-mod-loader . Its been making the modding community for godot games way better since it basically just lets devs drop it into the game and its functional with then dealing with dependencies, mod handling, steam workshop support, etc. Ive already used it for making some mods for dome keeper and its been getting implemented in different games (brotato, luck be a landlord, dome keeper, etc.)
Mod-loader certainly looks interesting! I have dabbled a little with gamedev and one thing that always struck me as challenging was building modability into your game. I'd like to see an extension that helps to build scripting via LUA or something similar into your games too. Thanks for sharing.
