I am proud to announce godot-playfab 1.0!
godot-playfab is an addon for the #GodotEngine, bringing #Azure #PlayFab, a backend-as-a-service platform - to game developers using Godot's own scripting language, #GDScript.

Massivel looking forward to listening to his episode tonight. Two engineers I have mad respect for - this is going to be so good

Godot is growing up. It’s not just where people start anymore - studios ship games and build businesses with Godot. GodotFest is where that community gets in a room together, and this year we’re emphasising the business side even more.

We have work to do as we move to a more open developer ecosystem. Today we shipped an XBOX Godot sample to GitHub, giving developers a simple starting point for building games with the GDK and other title services.

🌟 XBOX Godot Sample - now available as a public, source-only reference on @github
We’re making it easier to build for XBOX on PC with @godotengine. Check out our new sample that helps you integrate Microsoft GDK, XBOX Services, and PlayFab directly into Godot, with reusable code and modular samples that help make your development path shorter, smoother, and more open.

Well, it will be just as soon as I push all the buttons to migrate content and set up redirects from getpaint.net etc. For now it's just a "hey go here" redirect page.

My reply to someone considering starting a video game company:
The distribution of possible rewards for starting a video game company are generally not very good today. The market is well served, and gaining a foothold requires strong execution on both business and product issues, along with a substantial amount of luck. Plan to burn through seven figures with a not-great chance of making it back.
If you do go for it, some bits of advice:
Identify your customers clearly before you start. Not just a broad community, but specific people, and imagine them as you make decisions.
Initially, build the smallest, most concise game you can imagine anyone paying for. It will still take much longer than you expect.
Once something exists, hill-climb the value. Hopefully you will have some elements that clearly bring joy to people, which you can magnify. There will inevitably be tons of things that people find confusing, frustrating, or just boring that you will need to fix.

Game Pass Ultimate has become too expensive for too many players. Starting today, we’re dropping the price from $29.99 to $22.99/month.
Future Call of Duty titles will no longer join Game Pass Ultimate on day one. They will join this tier the following holiday after launch (about a year later). Current Call of Duty titles will remain available to Ultimate subscribers.
We’ll keep learning and evolving Game Pass to better match what matters to players.
