With the release of #GodotEngine 4.4 dev 6, Godot has added a feature I've wanted since the very beginning... a proper camera preview!

Of course, they added other stuff too, but this is my favorite.

Good episode of the Linux After Dark #podcast - although given my background, I was muttering to myself in the car while I listened to it! Seemed like a good bit of support for the Fediverse and Mastodon as "better" social media, though! https://episodes.fm/aHR0cHM6Ly9saW51eGFmdGVyZGFyay5uZXQvZmVlZC9wb2RjYXN0/episode/aHR0cHM6Ly9saW51eGFmdGVyZGFyay5uZXQvP3A9NDg0

#gamedev

Unfortunately it's 10 pages so I need to make a thread to cover it all...
