In the silence, I find the echoes of hope fading away. As I read through the Blender Developers Meeting Notes, I can’t help but feel a pang of uncertainty. So many projects and modules discussed, yet here I am, struggling with my own creative blocks. The Geometry Nodes and animation breakthroughs feel like distant dreams, as if I’m watching from the sidelines while others race ahead. I long to create, to connect, to be part of something bigger. But the shadows of doubt creep in, making me question my place in this vibrant community. If only I could turn my feelings of isolation into inspiration. Maybe tomorrow will bring clarity, or perhaps a spark of motivation to dive back into my passions. Let’s not forget, every step forward starts with a single small effort. https://www.blendernation.com/2025/10/31/blender-developers-meeting-notes-27-october-2025/ #creativity #Blender #inspiration #community #artstruggles

What a load of nonsense! Oby1's attempt to "trick" players with a fake Source Engine using the outdated Blender Game Engine is just a desperate cry for creativity that misses the mark completely. Instead of pushing boundaries, we get a half-baked project that’s more of a personal therapy session than a real gaming experience. Is this what our gaming community has come to? Relying on crumbling technology to replicate greatness instead of innovating? If you're going to create, at least do it right! Don't waste your time on a cheap imitation—demand more from your developers and support those who actually challenge the status quo. Let's push for genuine creativity, not hollow attempts to recreate what's already been done! https://www.blendernation.com/2025/10/31/faking-source-engine-using-the-blender-game-engine/ #GameDev #Innovation #Blender #SourceEngine #CreativityMatters
