Godot leadership banned a Ukrainian maintainer amidst Russian invasion of Ukraine, which became the straw that broke camel's back.
Many people misunderstand my motivation on why I talk about Godot's wrongdoings for so long.

While I do have an emotional attachment to the project, which shows absolutely all signs of being an actual cult, as a former member of it, it's my ethical duty to talk about it. Some people may not understand the entire notion of ethics or duty in the first place, though...
Godot leadership's political stance against a Ukrainian contributor and maintainer has lead to unprecedented consequences for Godot leadership. They didn't expect that I'd continue talking about their wrongdoings for so long, and they thought that they could get away with this.
The admin of Godot forums keeps locking the discussion concerning Godot's governance.
Several people attacked my character in a thread which discussed the fact of Godot leadership founding commercial companies for Godot.

Someone in the discussion asked what kind of goal I have in mind. After the discussion got locked, I asked him the same question in private.
He left the private conversation, that's exactly how cultists operate, they don't answer the questions. 😉

As I started some projects over the years, be it gamejams or prototypes, I’ve thought it’d be helpful to have a #GodotEngine game template to speed up some steps. The fact is, I was working on that project already without knowing it. Want me to elaborate? 🧵👇🏻
It suddenly came to me as an idea while doing one of my first jams. And I’ve been reimplementing most of it on every project. Maybe because I didn’t know better. Maybe because I was comfy in that organization and wanted to make it grow. Iterating organically over it.
Here’s the deal. I’ll try to explain the idea here, for anyone who wants to hear it, but also to let it out. It’s been growing within me for a long time, but I need others’ opinions to make it better. Or to crush it under a rock.
Let me show you how I handle multiple resolutions and the "pixel perfect" mode in #Murtop.
Bonus: You can rotate the viewport, so it can be used in a vertical monitor (as the game was intented to be played)

Here's the nodes structure and the code.
- "RenderGame" is set to "Full rect", so "BackgroundColor" and "Bezel" can occupy the whole screen.
- "Bezel" (TextureRect) is set to "Expand" and the "Stretch mode" to "Keep Aspect Covered"

- "ViewportContainer" is set to "Center", so it always stays, well...centered. So I don't have to bother positioning it.
- "Viewport" size is set to the project's size (224x288).

Yesterday I was talking about how every question I've had about @godotengine was easily answered in the documentation.
Today I tried to use the debugger for the first time and found an exception: I can't get the debugger to do anything. Wrote it up here.

If anybody in the #GodotEngine @godotengine community on Twitter has any insights into this, I'd appreciate it. This is with 3.5.1.stable.official
And my problem is resolved. It turns out the Godot debugger connects to the game that is being ran from it as a server, and the default connection settings weren't working.
When I say that Juan keeps striking community with his stupidity, I mean it. @reduzio expresses his "Messiah complex", once again.
"What kind of jokes are these?", you may ask. Let's see what #Godoctor says about Juan, cult leader of #GodotEngine.

The "Messiah complex" of Juan stems from his desire to save the world from those "evil" corporations. Taken together with above, he probably wants to show that he's a "Superman":
But perhaps this has more deep roots. Recall the "Thanos" tweet of Juan? Perhaps this "Godot meteor" is connected with his desire to "purge" the userbase that use "commercial software"?

Godot leadership betrays their ideology!

Notice how Godot leadership deliberately leaves out important information when they say it's a company of "Godot veterans", but those "Godot veterans" and Godot leadership are the same persons.

Feel free to familiarize yourself with my previous threads on this topic to understand why Godot is not community-driven and my explanation of why the mentality of Godot leadership is not open as you might have expected:
There is a way to create something like Area polygon and detect when it is entering/exiting, writing custom code and cursing a few things in a process.
Much better to use TextureButton and assign your texture to Normal.

Already not bad! However, it reacts to our click in a shape of rectangle that wraps our texture, but not in a shape of texture. We can fix this by using Click Mask field in TextureButton. Click mask is a BitMap that will be created based on the image's alpha.
Juan "The Great", aka @reduzio, once said:
"The world does not care about you or what you think, or about your world views. Keep those to yourself."
These are petty tyrant's advice that undermine critical thinking, creativity, individuality...

Opinion on the above @reduzio advice from someone who does not have an idea what #Godot represents.
In retrospect, I was highly attached to #GodotEngine, and I used to think that there's something wrong with me.
Having access to outside opinion is crucial.

So yeah, I did reach out to someone from the outside, as you see above. Otherwise, I'd still be contributing to Godot and continue being deluded by Juan's cult indoctrination.
I recall a proposal in Godot which suggested to hire a full time marketing person. This is exactly how cult communities tend to fixate on promoting their ideology. Why not just make the product speak for itself?
#GodotEngine #GodotCult #CancelGodotEngine

Even then, Godot doesn't need a marketing representative, because Godot's toxic leadership achieved this by making a cult out of Godot already. Proposals like above are simply a byproduct, because the process of promoting Godot is built into their ideology.
Godot followers will go out of their ways and suggest Godot in other unrelated communities. They'll write bad reviews on other engines to make Godot stand out. They achieve their superficial and unrealistic image of superiority by putting others down.
Behavior of Juan, aka @reduzio, lead developer of @godotengine, can be summarized as undue influence, which manifests as hypocrisy, lack of empathy, inattentiveness, irresponsibility.
Below is my critical analysis.

Below is my critical analysis.
#GodotEngine #TruthAboutGodot #GodotCult #CancelGodotEngine
Juan posses a belief that he's destined to help people to make great games. He attempts to create a game engine which could allow users to create both casual and AAA games with little to no effort. But if you run after two hares, you will catch neither.
Juan focuses his efforts of making the engine accessible to everyone. He will always prioritize features that make the image of Godot look nice in the eyes of beholder, like editor features or movie maker mode, at the expense of neglecting core parts of the engine.
The reason why the lead developer doesn't want to make Godot's logo look professional like in other game engines is because such playful image of Godot allows to revert people back to childhood dependence and mindless obedience.

I'm not making this up! This is a definitive sign of cult communities. Juan, aka @reduzio, is a cult leader of Godot, and members adore Juan. Watch this educational satirical video on cults starting from here:
At the same time, Juan tells people not to call Godot a cult... This is hilarious! 🤣
Godot IS a cult. Godot shares all signs of being one.

The game creator of RimWorld says that #GodotEngine is trying to be all things to all people, but it's also trying to hit AAA features, and the lack of decided focus which manifests as misspent effort.

I confirm Tynan's viewpoint on this. Godot severely lacks vision for the project. This issue can be resolved by defining and writing down Godot's development philosophy. But the problem is much, much deeper than that.

Expressing that people are sane is seen as an insinuation and a slippery slope in #GodotEngine community. 🤦♂️
But when #Godot community calls others insane when they talk about Godot shortcomings, it's fine. 🤷♂️
To quote @Akien: "Let's not go there please." 😉

To give this context, we talked about master/slave terminology in Godot and IT. You can even see articles such as these:

Ironically, what you read above totally describes Godot. It's one of the biggest echo chambers out there in #OpenSource game #GameDev community, because dissenting opinion about Godot is seen with hostility. This is also the reason why I say that Godot leadership is hypocritical.
I could say a lot of things about Godot. I could write a book about it. But frankly, such a book already exists: George Orwell's "1984".
Unless you went through Godot as a contributor, you may fail to find analogies, and only a few will notice.

Godot's "Big Brother" is watching you! 👁
Recall Xananax? That Godot's Discord admin. I'm not sure whether he still moderates Godot, but he had a particular signature, something like:
"Absolutely watching you 👁"
Creepy, right? 😱

But I no longer have access to create PRs in Godot to make improvements for that feature myself!

First and foremost, the fact that Godot cultists call me a conspiracy theorist is nothing new. See my other thread (make sure to scroll down to see the educational video on cults):
The fact that they keep talking about me in this context is really good, because all their words and actions prove everything about Godot being a cult.
I've stumbled upon a truly covert #GodotEngine propaganda video. I don't recommend watching it, because videos like these usually induce anxiety feelings and tend not to bring any kind of value. It's created by Godot cult follower, by the way.
#GodotCult
#GodotCult
They try to induce anxiety feelings, attempting to convince you that you won't be able to achieve anything in game development. Then, they overtly or covertly offer you a solution: Godot!
This is exactly how cult phobia indoctrination works.

At the same time, they will "empower" you when you end up choosing Godot. These alterations of anxiety and so called "love" mold individuality to the point that it may hurt your cognition, so you may find it difficult to discover other alternatives.
Someone at Godot subreddit says: "I know we're being called a cult and stuff..."
It's nice to see that #GodotEngine becomes more self-conscious about this. If only they could research more, but they turn it into a "sign of success". 😢

Making a cult out of something is fine. But they don't yet realize that Godot is a destructive cult.
Unfortunately, I'm banned from Godot subreddit, so I cannot reach out to those folks to provide my perspective there.

Seeing comments like these is painful, because it reminded me of myself in the past. It's exactly a rhetoric of a cultist. They turn the "cult" into a "sign of success", but instead of being proud, they belittle other engines, showing cult signs of "us vs them" mentality.
Most people who are in a cult don't realize that they're in a cult, or think they are smart enough to avoid it...
Unlike physical cults, #GodotEngine is an IT cult. This is truly an uncharted territory for people who'd like to study cult psychology in IT.

This is especially relevant if you're a Godot developer. Contributors who work on Godot don't have a clear vision for the project. When you try to reveal it, or you ask questions on Godot's governance, Godot leadership acts quite aggressive and repulsive:
I oftentimes read that #Godot's development is driven by passion and out of love for those who make games. Why not just develop #GodotEngine independently, then? Why receive donations? What, having passion is no longer enough for Godot to thrive?
#CancelGodotEngine
#CancelGodotEngine
This so-called "love" that the lead developer of Godot tries to portrait, Juan, aka @reduzio, is nothing more but love bombing. This "love" is accompanied by "become Patron", which makes it a truly IT cult organization which aims to milk money.
You'll read phrases like "preaching gospel of Godot" from those who donated to Godot via Patreon already. I'm not kidding, you can look at articles such as this one.
