Cool. The demo runs way too fast, though. The throttle checkbox doesn't really change it. Unchecking it, if anything, makes it run slower. It runs at 240 fps with throttle and at 180 fps without. With the throttle checbox active one se

What bothers me is that all their recent ad campaigns just revolve around the premise of "We are not Chrome", which really doesn't sell to me.

The root problem is people do "fall" for advertisements. They are everywhere because ... well, they work. There's rarely any critical thinking involved and often ads are not even identified as such and people consider them &q

Godot is great. I am afraid it's still a very long way before they become for game development what Blender is for 3D modelling these days. If it will even happen at all. So any improvement and funding is more than welcome.

2010 was when they started using motors from other (cheap) brands like Renault for a lot of models on big scale. Before that you could drive your Mercedes up to like 400,000 km and more and still get money for it or at least sell it to deve

Blender for 3D is what Postgres is for databases. It's really an exceptional piece of open source software and totally stands out. There's not many software projects like this.

I try Krita every now and then (probably will again with this release) but I always find myself going back to Clip Studio Paint at some point. The out of the box experience is just better somehow.
