Lovely! Well done @nivrig

@nivrig enjoy! And say hello to everyone. I might be at the Zzap thing. Depends if Jeff's going to blag me in or not.

@klord The last Zzap looked decent but it's a bit of a hoof for a one day thing. KS will probably be me for the year.

If anyone wonders why I moved to Godot, it's probably because it's the only engine that's a first class citizen on Linux...

@klord @sinbad LOL completely reasonable.

Lua: "What if everything was a table?

Oh you're still here. What if we indexed arrays from 1?

@petmac @klord I honestly think they did that just to mess with everyone

Might set up an Etsy shop, but the only thing on sale is a canvas of the Jet Set Willy code sheet, pretending to be modern art.

@klord all the art you need is right here

I've just robbed @glassbottommeg 's Switch and Twiddler idea (https://www.patreon.com/posts/switch-systems-99406783) and it's super flexible. 👍

@sinbad just made them. Add a billboard component to any actor. Takes a PNG. Editor only 👌

I do nothing without an icon I can click on :)

@sinbad@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@klord yeah I meant where did you get the images themselves, but if you made them, great :) I have the same old 4 icons that come with the editor and I’m getting bored of them, I should add some more

Fuck that fucking egg.

@llamasoft_ox@toot.wales avatar

@klord there should be an egg themed pinball really. Fried egg multiplier. Scrambled egg multiball. Shoot for the cloaca to unleash 6 egg ultrabreakfast mode. 🥚🍳

@llamasoft_ox that sounds entirely rubbish

Gameplay Messaging System is ace. Top tip @glassbottommeg 👍

@klord Other big things to be aware of, if you aren't already: @sinbad's got two killer plugins. SUDS for dialogue, and SUSS is his new Utility AI engine.

I'd call both must-haves at this point, for a particular kind of game. Dialogue just in general is a huge hole in Unreal, and this fills that well, and SUSS is shaping up to be what I wish Unreal had done instead of BTs.

I'm uh, one of those "Behavior Trees are garbage" people, so finding reasonable alternatives has been a big focus of mine. Joe Wintergreen has an FSM (essentially an HFSM) implementation I'm using now, and that's pretty alright, but I think Steve's SUSS is likely the one you really want for er. Most like, game'y games. FPSes and stuff.

@glassbottommeg @klord I use the messaging system in our multiplayer game but yeah, only locally. It’s fine because it fits best as a local pub-sub distributor with all the triggers coming over the normal property replication or RPC
