EDIT [context from know your meme of all places](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/godot-engine-user-blocking-controversy-wokot) :D : Apologies Overview Godot Engine Blocking Controversy refers to a controversy surrounding the community manager for the game engine Godot blocking users on X / Twitter and, reportedly, GitHub over negative reactions to a social media post in support of indie games with LGBTQ+ and "woke" themes. The blocking became a subject of viral discussions on X and Reddit in late September 2024, with the hashtag #Wokot used by posters to refer to it. Background On September 24th, 2024, an indie video game developer posted footage from the upcoming Windstorm: The Legend of Khiimori on X[1] / Twitter, revealing that it was built using Unreal Engine 5. In the X[2] thread, user @kryztofcheski wrote, "Woke studios always use pre-built engines to make games because they can't build their own engines." In the following days, several X[3] users quote posted the post, mocking the presumption that gaming engines could be "woke" (example post shown below). Natalie Spitzel @nat_the_dev Sorry fellow devs I guess game engines are Woke™ kryztofjønsøn @kryztofcheski • Sep 24 Replying to @AfterWarPlantX @Malice DaFirenze and @GorkaGames It makes sense doesn't it? Woke studios always use pre built engines to make games because they can't build their own engines. 1:22 PM ⚫ Sep 26, 2024 54.2K Views On September 27th, the official X[4] / Twitter account for Godot Engine, run by a community manager, made a post referencing @kryztofcheski's post, calling for indie developers to showcase their "woke" game built using the engine. The post (shown below) garnered over 1.7 million views, 2,000 reposts and 16,000 likes in three days. Godot Engine @godotengine Apparently game engines are woke now?

For example, on September 27th, 2024, developer funnygamedev reported being blocked on X[5] by the Godot Engine X account after asking them to focus on fixing and supporting Bitmap fonts (post shown below). On September 28th, indie developer and pixel artist @Cosmic_Scr wrote on X[6] that they were blocked by Godot Engine on X after replying with Godot Engine creator Juan Linietsky's quote "I deeply believe that any political discussion that puts labels to a group of people is one that should not have started." On September 28th, 2024, Godot Engine backer Starkium reported that they were blocked on X[7] by the account over a comment. Developer @dev_bonnie made a post about being blocked by Godot Engine on X,[15] writing, "Erm friendly fire" and pointing out that they are bisexual. 10.0 Godot Engine @godotengine.

Q41 1753 1.7K Ill 46K funnygamedev (mouse) @funnygamedev blocking me for this really mild criticism for something that should be in a 2D engine a while now is making me consider switching to a different engine. There's a proper use of resources and it should be done to fix the stuff you have in there, not adding new things.

All your games now have to start with the same letter, which one are you going with?

I started this as a comment on this post https://feddit.uk/post/13922816 Then I thought, let's just pop them all into a thread. For some reason this year, all the major mod teams have been producing gold for games going back to the 90s, proving that if you let people mod, your game will never die. With the Steam game sale on, you can get a lot of game for not much money -------------------------------------------- **#Mod name:Falcon BMS 4.37.4** [Mod page: ](https://www.falcon-bms.com/) [YouTube link:](https://youtu.be/7q_R2P5cxW4) OG Game:Falcon 4.0 OG game release date:1 Jan, 1998 ------------------------------------------- **#Mod name:Real RTCW 5.0** [Mod page:](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1379630/RealRTCW/) [YouTube link:](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SW4fK36Xyxs) OG Game:Return to Castle Wolfenstein OG game release date:20 Nov 2001 ------------------------------------------- **#Mod name:Project Reality 1.8** [Mod page: ](https://www.realitymod.com/) [YouTube link:](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFEV8PUOfAw) OG Game:Battlefield 2 OG game release date:21 June 2005 ----------------------------------------- **#Mod name:Project Diablo 2** [Mod page:](https://projectdiablo2.com/ ) [YouTube link:](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu7Y54AdOFU) OG Game:Diablo 2 OG game release date:28 Jun 2000

Just finished it on the pc having everything on high it looked so pretty. It was the perfect two weekend game about half as big as the first one introducing some more mechanics and leaning into stealth which became the most fun way for me to dispatch most the combat encounters. It really only started falling apart at the end ::: spoiler spoiler As usual with these games I'd done all the side missions with the aim of doing a ending run in one session. Map looked complete but no got to do one more for uncle Aaron. The whole ending section of the game was just needlessly padded out from the museum section nice cameo though, to the final battle with the Tinkerer outstaying it's welcome after about the fifth time she yonks Miles into the air to the very end watching him crawl to the reactor for something that should have just been a cut scene. Found Phins arc kinda meh all rushed at the end. Thought it would have been a lot better if she just trusted Miles and died trying to stop the reactor. ::: The game was a great noodle game I really like Miles as a character well worth it if you want a big game feel in a small package

I just received this email saying that the response "did not respond directly to the request of the petition" You recently signed the petition “Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state”: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/659071 The Petitions Committee (the group of MPs who oversee the petitions system) has considered the Government’s response to this petition. They felt the response did not respond directly to the request of the petition. They have therefore asked the Government to provide a revised response. When the Committee receives a revised response from the Government, we will publish this and share it with you. Thanks, The Petitions team UK Government and Parliament
