Hi @dystar and @luisotravez , and welcome to GM.S 
To help people get to know you, you may wish to make an introductory post with some interests listed as tags, additionally tagging the post with #introduction and #introductions.
If you have any questions please ask, I know Mastodon and the Fediverse can be a bit unintuitive at first.

oh huh I'm actually really curious about this but a quick search is not turning up any disk images
Zine time too!
Applications for the big zine fare in Melbourne are open now, and due by the end of the 10th of January.
Because it's online, it's open to international entries.

Online version will be in February, with, hopefully, a physical one in August.

Although I did like the aesthetic of the Pixel City tiles:
https://opengameart.org/content/pixel-city
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

I should mention that I've removed the forum, because it wasn't being used :( and I can't really be arsed trying to revive it.
Hi @hollowgaming , sorry it's taken a few days, but welcome to GM.S!
I think you know how Fedi stuff works (?), but please let me know if you have any questions about things.
