What are good and cheap drawing tablets?

Although I did like the aesthetic of the Pixel City tiles:

I'm not sure they're really appropriate for the editor view in #LiSE, because you're going to be placing pawns on top of them by dragging, and it's not hard for buildings to block the tile you want. I'm not really up to implementing SimCity2k-style camera rotation, at least at the moment.

The most usable modern #tile set I've found is from Kenney:

Anybody got suggestions? #foak

Hire me to translate your game into French!

I’m native in French and fluent in English. I’m familiar with American, British and French pop culture and references.

I’ve already made a full fan-translation of a game, including graphics and TTS voices: http://traduction.faith/

Boosts welcome!

I've previously talked about being bummed that Godot doesn't have a nice way of printing formatted JSON via the built-in to_json() GDScript functon. Turns out that the JSON class has a print() function that does! Thanks to @Thoughtquake@twitter.com for the heads up :) https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_json.html?#class-json-method-print

do you use patreon or github sponsors or open collective or <something else> for funding ongoing open source projects? any recommendations?

Last chance to apply !
