Oh yeah, I've played around with Godot before. It's fantastic. Definitely one of the stronger choices for pixel work. I've actually considered trying to get Tilengine embedded into Godot, but haven't ...

You've got that game running using Tilengine? That's pretty kick-ass. It looks like a solid concept, I look forward to seeing it in action. Might I recommend that you post some videos of Super Jump n ...

    Thread: Adding INPUT_BUTTONS
Post: RE: Adding INPUT_BUTTONS

This update should be really useful. I realize that 16 inputs per player might seem like a lot. But in this modern age of extremely complex controllers, it doesn't quite provide as many as a developer...

I've been continuing to play around with Tilengine. During the course of my experimentation, I ran across a limitation. I don't think it is a bug, but I would like to know why the limitation exists, a...

Post: RE: Completed project restructure

Seems reasonable. It would be great to see other people continue to support the engine by creating additional bindings for additional languages. But it's understandable that you would want to focus on...

    Thread: Drawing a background of tiles
