Software recommendations are very personal but this one may be very handy: Vivaldi browser (created by the original Opera founder) just received the update with Workspaces. Even before Vivaldi created the perfect tab groups, this feature goes much further:

1. You can manually make workspaces for different sides of your life and switch between them for better focus
2. You can automatically assign new tabs for specific workspace (for example, by domain)

Under the hood it's chrome on steroids and without Google.

And now #GodotEngine is the third most used publicly available game engine among GDC 2024 visitors with about 3% of the audience (compared to 33% votes for Unreal and Unity each).

Meanwhile CryEngine and O3DE (ex Lumberyard) fell below 1% and previously popular GameMaker is also out of charts.

The first big patch for Starfield fixed civilians: now they have reasonable faces, proper skin shader and their eyes no longer tracking the player all the time.

Their AI and reactions to hostile actions from the player are still completely broken, though.

Maybe in 2-3 years it will become a playable game!

Palworld reached #10 spot on the Steam concurrent players chart (all-time). The game about catching and owning funky creatures (that isn't licenced by Pokemon) is doing extremely well.

The first million copies were sold in less than 8 hours, and 2m+ in just 24h.

The easiest way to port #GodotEngine games on #NintendoSwitch — the code is under MIT, but you still have to be a certified Switch Developer to use it properly.

Unlike other options, no fee needed to use the port and no revenue share applied later on.

During the first three weeks alone, there were more people fired in the game industry than during the whole 2022. Some suggest that the trend will continue for the whole year.
