Here's the unrolled thread: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1703163364229161236.html

Brian Bucklew ported Caves of Qud from Unity to Godot.

He didn’t finish, he’s still porting it.

Since this post, he got the 500k LoC core of the game running, rendering to the console in godot and responding to input.

Astonishing, inspirational work.

Astonishing and inspirational is the fact that the game has been in development for 15+ years and still is very well architected and designed to the point that it can be ported with such ease.

They did the smart thing and all of the game core is a separate C# package and they were using Unity mostly for the display bit.

Zero game logic was trapped behind unity, so it was mostly just replacing a few idiosyncrasies between Unity and Godot (X vs x in coordinates and colors being floats vs ints)

If you want more detail you could make a Twitter account.

There are good reasons not to, like the fact that Musk has fired most of the workforce (if you value solidarity with other workers)

The only people joining X in 2023 are right-wingers, trolls, and bots. The chance of someone creating an account on X to learn something new is effectively zero.

This social policing of technology is sad to see. Anyone can join and use it. Stop pushing a future you want to see for some reason.

So where are the left wingers, mods and agents going?

Leftists appear to have gone to Mastodon and then dissipated. Mastodon has many architectural and incentive issues that make it an unfit platform and unsustainable at scale. Fitting that leftists were unable to identify these issues!
