If anyone wants to watch a superb 10 minute breakdown of what #godot 4.3 is bringing, I highly recommend this video by SaaS https://youtu.be/R-oJzCGFnak - some codebase refactoring likely but also worth it
For my future #GodotEngine project I’ve decided for it to be story based in a style similar to Star Wars Squadrons where you switch sides after each mission.
I don’t like the idea of using other people’s ideas but I must learn that in creative work you HAVE to use other people’s ideas.
(Btw I’m using this account as a sort of notepad because when I post publicly I feel more “committed” to what I write notes on)
#godotengine Converting my project to #Godot4 . I don't know why my roguelike comes bundled with a media player, but it gives an opportunity for gameplay if I can wing it.
Today I was able to squash some bugs on COGITO, my first person immersive sim template. Thinking of opening it up to the public soon to get feedback. What do you all think?
🎮 Why program a game with #Godot? With this introductory video, I showed how Godot fits into the game engine landscape and compared it to other open source options. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4o63V0AdrHk
Spent the past day experimenting with godot 4 and ended up making a character with:
sprint + stamina + crouch
a food meter with working "food", no model yet
sleep meter with working bed (I broke the sleep setting for the video)
working flashlight with batteries (can be recharge with a battery pickup)
It's pretty fun to learn, hopefully this game actually comes together (its going to be a horror game/ simulator about working as a lighthouse keeper)
Nope. I'm done with SDFGI. It just doesn't work with consistent, formal shapes or low poly in its current state. Experimenting with no effects and toon shading seems to work better. #godot#godotengine
Does anyone know a relatively easy method for converting #Scratch .SB files into something glossier? Is there a path for that with #Godot or #Gamemaker? I thought we'd be going from Scratch to Snap to Python, but the first step is changing the games so significantly that it feels like it's a reduction instead of an enhancement.
On the subject of a patreon supporting small monthly games, I'm torn between interactive fiction - possibly serial - and a variety of arcade-style games in #godotEngine.
I'm a writer by nature but I feel a variety with narrative elements makes for better portfolio pieces.
And I question whether an ink or twine (or Inform or TADS) centric patreon will find sufficient support.
Finally looked into the shader system of #godotengine and… I can actually find stuff in the docs. 👌
And my brain seems to have gotten better at thinking about this stuff since I last tried getting into shaders with raw OpenGL, too. Such amaze, many wow.
I have a super strong urge to learn C++ so I can contribute to #GodotEngine. Like it would be so nice if I could fix the problems I have myself instead of just submitting a feature request or something that probably no one would look at.
