Added a lives counter to the HUD (was there before but it was just text and I removed it when adding the health bar). Right now, the icon is a coin because I'm borrowing HUD assets from a previous game project which didn't have an icon to represent lives.

@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty Apparently, some Microsoft employee gave the Godot team a $24,000 donation on the condition that they added C# support. They had to make a separate version though as C# runs on a VM as opposed to native machine code.

>The sad thing is that this will just push more devs to Unreal, who already has a huge market share even in the AAA space.

The one thing that might make people use Godot instead of Unreal is that Godot supports C#, the same language that Unity uses. Unreal only supports C++ and Blueprints.

Though all three engines have different ways of dealing with 3D coordinates which can make everything a bit confusing.

@LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy Open source is not communist. Ancaps don't believe in intellectual property either. One of the most prominent leaders of the open source movement Eric S Raymond is a right-libertarian and openly gets triggered when you call FOSS communist.

>This is also kind of the problem with "free" game dev tools in general.

The correct term is "freemium".

@icedquinn Just write your own engine.

@PurpCat @Nudhul Is this the gender-swapped Terry Davis?

@ArdainianRight @hachi Sakurai's channel is the only gamedev channel I know of that doesn't talk about trannyshit in games. I hope it stays that way.

@Nudhul @PurpCat Meijier is a grocery store chain in the Midwest. It's not as cheap as Wal-Mart but the shopping experience is much better, IMO.

@PurpCat Don't you live in the midwest? Shop at Meijier instead.

@PurpCat @theorytoe There is also FreeBASIC which has it's own built-in graphics library.

@danielhudson You should be lethally injected first, you fucking weirdo.
