Great interview! I really hope to see Portal64 continued by someone someday

Excellent. This guy knows his stuff, and is pragmatic and commercial. Rare in the AI space!

What a fascinating topic, thank you for the podcast! Juli and Youssef shared so many interesting aspects.

Great interview! :D

Damn this vid is underrated AF Kaze is a legend in the sm64 rom hacking space

Cool!

On the frameworks that Noel mentioned.... I dunno much about SDL... but I DO NOT recommend Raylib, it's such a pain to get this thing to compile, like holy crap. I personally like Pygame, which is basically a wrapper of SDL for python, which means you can do most of the stuff that SDL does, but on a higher level language with garbage collection that also happens to be VERY SIMILAR to Lua at least as far as syntax is concerned. Alternatively, you could also just you know.... USE PICO-8 that thing is so barebones that it's honestly much closer to a framework like SDL than an actual game engine, you still need to code collisions and stuff by yourself. And now there's a browser based free version of it called Pico-8 Educational Edition, and yes, you can load Celeste on it, and YES you can read and alter the source code in it, it's literally the full pico-8 editor running on your browser, but without stuff like splore or multi-cart games. I think. Now of course you'll have to read Celeste's code on that very low res editor that I don't like.... but it's Celeste code nonetheless...

Not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting Celeste to use AABB, I thought it was using something much more complex than that... not that AABB isn't complex, or doesn't have the potential to be complex...

Me listening to this while making my own project here. Btw Noel, have you fixed the broken asset exporter you mentioned on Discord yesterday? Also, how the hell do you guys muster the patience to make these polished platformer controls, I tapped out after implementing basic coyote time and jump buffering in pico-8 on a project, lol.

It's so serendipitous that I stumbled upon this podcast, I've been studying gambetta's articles for my grad research on game networking and his work has been incredibly informative and insightful, he's one of the best!

very insightful

Turtles be like - Way down we go go go. 😂

Great interview, Kaze is amazing at what he's done with Super Mario 64.

Wow, what an insightful and engaging conversation! The dedication to player feedback and iterative development is truly commendable. Can't wait to see what's next for Blasphemous 2!

Andrew should've promoted this talk so it would have more views, it's really interesting

Did .NET 4.8 have the same intensity of consideration as pre-Core versions all did?

Interesting subject.Enjoyed the discussion.very nice.

Very nice discussion. Didn’t know there was so much interest in AI at Snowflake !

Malayali chaya kkada , my heart is❤ ripe proudly watching it. All the Best 👍💯

Hey I recognize that last name!

The best!

HP is a member of the Godot Foundation Board of Directors, the Godot Project Leadership Committee (PLC), Prehensile Tales, Ramatak, and provides consulting services to The Mirror. 0:09: HP van Braam is a co-founder of Ramatak. 0:27: HP is a member of Godot Foundation Board of Directors. 2:20: HP says Ariel Manzur (co-creator of Godot) approached him with an investment opportunity for a new company (Ramatak). 2:38: HP says he rose the ranks fairly quickly. 3:19: HP summarizes that he wanted to make games and not game engines, but ended up owning game engine creation related companies. 16:51: HP admits that C# is faster than GDScript. 17:27: HP claims that there's allegedly "cultural or political thing" about needing your games to be as fast as possible (HP opposes this idea). 25:31: HP says there's a complete lack of trust in the game dev landscape and mentions Unity. At the same time, (26:52) he's trying to convince the audience he allegedly has no decision-making influence as a member of the Godot Foundation Board of Directors. 38:27: HP promotes The Mirror, the Roblox-like game development platform build with Godot. He says that The Mirror is a customer of Prehensile Tales, which is a consulting company of HP.

Great convo..thanks Sayak

Gdscript is a trash language and so much below actual programming languages in terms of productivity for me. The typing is just so bad. They keep telling this story how GDScript allows them to optimize stuff better without any pushback on the negative points. On performance, they proceed to say GDScript is slow. Which doesn't matter because most of the time you'd use GDScript for non hot code paths. Is it optimized or not? Gdscript is nice for prototyping. But developing games? Don't do it. Afaik the C# integration is still bad. There is Swift, but it doesn't seem to have standing in the community. Disclaimer: Im just using Godot3.

awesome protocol which I use today

46:35: Emilio mentions that they hired Yuri Sizov.

Autism off the scale!

Awesome stuff. I always love a good Vijay Pande podcast/interview.

Really nice overview... thank you both!

Anyone interested in godot should check out "Waiting for Blue Robot"

Wow! I learned about Emilio from watching his tutorial videos, especially dialogic. Dialogic is so powerful in creating games in Godot, now he is the exec director. Wow! Great video and interview!

Imagine prioritizing safety... lol

I am learning Godot Engine currently

🔥

Great podcast! Really wish we'd see something like this on regular basis for Godot, because not everyone reads every Tweet / Github thread / Discord exchange.

Interesting talk !

We shan’t be taking any comments about the correct pronunciation of Godot, thank you for your understanding 🙏🤪

Wow!!!

Keep it up Sayak

He is a great guy, has given 20+ talks in GDG + non- GDG events

Inspirational 👏💫

Great talk.

Mr Stroustrup should not be apologetic or suggest workarounds. Most of the spyware/malware/data stealing apps which are unsafe are on Android and not one of those are written in C++. People just download apps to their phone and it can access their location, camera, microphone, filesystem everywhere they are, including in their workplace while inside meeting rooms. So why blame a language. What will happen to Python if they took away the C++ libraries it depends on?

This was a fun chat, thanks for having me on!

government is only concerned of taxes (they are least concerned about what languages we use for development.. ) so it all depends upon individuals pvt. companies and industry headache (when did government pay u for playing video games)

I love this(bjarne) from buttom of my heart from Iran

Dude what's up with your camera? looks like there's condensation on on the lens. Good interview otherwise.
