On my way home from #GodotFest. Thanks so much to everyone for this incredible event! Hope to see you all again soon :) My presentation on foliage rendering in #Godot is already up on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2nB... And I also shared my slides here: slides.com/hexaquo/plan...

Is scale broken in Godot 4.5 ? Is there any way to have a normal Gizmo that can scale an object (on all axis unified) by having a cicle or something that I can grab? It seems it's only possible via object hit test and if you can't grab it, you can't scale. #GodotEngine #GameDev #IndieGameDev

🙌 Godot Docs updated! 🙌 For Vanilla Godot 4.5 & Rokojori Action Library v0.2+ - GDS/C#/Editor names - filter for exported - c++/c# source file links - fuzzy class/member search - class topic filters - flat or hierarchal class views - works on mobile #GodotEngine #GameDev #IndieGameDev

Updated to Rokojori Action LIbrary to v0.2! With documentation for Godot 4.5, updated Rokojori Action Library docs, input harmonization, gdscript integration, colliders&collidable, global wind. #godotengine #godot #gamedev #indiedev #csharp #cs

Beautifully spooky, I like it!

Godot Grass Wind Master 2! Controlling the wind direction and strength via global shader parameters. Soon the flowers, too :) The shader is automatically generated for any foliage model by a powerfull shader generator, soon more ^^ #GodotEngine #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGameDev #Grass #Wind

Call me wind master! Shader update to have customizable wind, that can change direction and strength and works with global shader variables. The shader is generated with a very powerfull shader generator, soon more ^^ #godot #grass #wind #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiedev #procedural

Fellow gamedevs / artists, this is your regular reminder that unless people literally pay you for delivering content on schedule, you don't need to apologize for "not posting enough". #indiedev #gamedev

I know this is an art account but I just want to let my fellow Godot devs know that I made custom skin and eye shaders and they're available for FREE on GitHub! Still work in progress, feel free to give feedback! #godot #godotengine #gamedev

What's the difference between 4.4 and 4.5? Stencils! Whoohoo! Godot 4.5. is out. Looking better than ever ^^ #godotengine #godot #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #vfx #shaders #stencil

Rokojori Library UI component for Godot. All units are dynamic and automatically change by win w/h or the editable root font size (em), all elements use em sizing. No containers, everything with breakble flow layouts and custom margins. #godot #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #ui #godotengine

Foliage renderer status: Checking out far/close behaviour. The grass is represented by multiple layers, 3 gpu particles for meshes and one far distance coverage layer. Inside the grass are also flowers and stones (and trees ^^ ) #godot #godotengine #procedural #indiegamedev #gamedev #grass #terrain

Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off ^^ (Random stresstesting foliage rendering on hilly terrains) #godot #godotengine #procedural #indiegamedev #gamedev #grass #terrain

Godoting Man! Rendering lots of point lights (180 in the scene) The glow of each flare is not an omnilight but a light shader on a quad like deferred lights, mixing normal/distance based lighting with a color gradient falloff over distance. #godot #indiegamedev #gamedev #lights #godotengine

As we all know the game industry is going through very turbulent times, unfortunately this has also affected several members of our collective. The silver lining is that one of the largest rooms in our coworking space in Berlin will be available from September 1st. More info in thread...

When I lurk on Discord in the GD shaders section, I often hear how to convert from one space to another or back. Well, I've created a website, so that you can find that on the good old internet ^^ #godot #shaders #vfx #documentation #gamedev #indiegamedev rokojori.com/en/labs/godo...

What a game jam... Majority vote for the game jam theme was... Unemployment... This industry... At first, I wanted to work only on the library, but than decided to create "Eat Da Rich", a game where you... eat the rich ^^ I could... 1/7 #godot #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

Infinite grass in Godot! I'll present today at Berlin Mini Game Jam my grass patch generator and foliage renderer, which allows to render multiple layers of foliage infinitely... With visibility ranges, wind, obstacles and quality settings ^^ #godot #gamedev #indiegamedev #procedural #grass

Started exploring vfx and particles and working now on some ember base particle that deforms/rotates its quad as if it was a 3D capsule, customizable/based on its velocity. No additional trails/geometry used, looks great in slowmo and fakes motion blur #godot #indiedev #gamedev #vfx #particles

If you are wondering, what happened to the grass... I was distracted ^^ Still early, will add it soon to the library... Oriented rational splines to generate branch networks, then post-pro for noise/detail/alignment and leaf generation #procedural #trees #godot #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev

The talk I gave at GDC got uploaded! If your are curious to know a bit more about the process behind the engine, this should give you a good idea of how the Godot Foundation + Contributors + Companies collaborate on making Godot. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJLO...

Plugin AssetLib: godotengine.org/asset-librar... Plugin Github: github.com/Bonkahe/Suns... Finally got a tutorial out for this, you can find it here: youtu.be/aEDDkGIfwDY #Godot #GodotEngine #IndieGameDev #gamedevs

Remember to save, backup, add/commit/push often. If you're lucky Godot crashes WHILE saving a scene! And since it saves uselessly the same unmodified model data that is already stored on disk additionally again first, it will create huge garbage files. Rant over. #godot #gamedev #indiedev

GodotCamp Welcoming in Karlsruhe #godot #godotengine

Move! Get out the way 📣 (^^ sorry) Could watch and play with this all day. Grass with dynamic obstacle map and cut map, both smoothed to make it fancy 🌠 I'll make this grass a free asset hopefully soon 🤗 #godot #gamedev #indiedev #procedural #grass

The .NET team managed to create a prototype running C# on the Web. There’s still a lot of work and testing to do, but we are getting there! #godotengine godotengine.org/article/live...

What are your favorite Godot plugins/addons? It's for a thing 👀 #godotengine

The good news: I've ported the grayscale compositor to C# for anybody who wants to try it out in C#. The bad news: it has a C# only bug when using MSAA #godot #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine github.com/Rokojori/god...

ATTACK OF THE SPACE BUMBLEBEES!!! 🔥🐝🔥 jk ^^ Stresstesting my lens flares + post filter. It has too many settings to explain easily so I added music 😅 Every bee has 8 flares. All fading/scaling by screen position, 5 ghosts layers from screen texture. #godot #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

In 4 days, the Day Zero Games: #Solarpunk Jam starts on @itch.io. There you can imagine a DIY, countercultural approach to #sustainability. Who's in? #indiegamedev #gamejam #gamedev itch.io/jam/day-zero...

Experimenting with flares that you can see in bright environments. Testing further with bg drawing, it's alpha blending now, maybe color blend next. What do you think? Does anybody know a trick for a smoothing the alpha visibility? In shaders? #godot #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #godotengine

😌 Tried out some viewport and per-camera-layer shaders for silhouette-outlines. Uhmm... we really need per material visual layer overwrites ^^ Without it, it's not possible to make such effects easily. Every solution for this now has a lots of duplicates. #godot #indiegamedev #gamedev #shaders

Hope everyone is enjoying the #GodotEngine 4.4 release 🎉 Made possible by donations to fund.godotengine.org Those funds allow the non-profit to hire developers to guide volunteer contributions (code reviews, finishing touches, targeted bug fixing and feature implementation, etc.) as well as...

#GodotEngine 4.4 is finally here! 🚀 Look forward to plenty of quality of life improvements hidden within this release. Faster load speeds, reduced stutter, streamlined processes, and more! godotengine.org/releases/4.4/

When I finally switched to Godot, I was amazed by all the good, little features like svg support and simple texture creation. But it also sparked the idea to have a full texture combiner - a mini procedural PS, SubPn layer thingie... Well, it's here... 🎊 #godot #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

Grass generation tool: This is how you can roll and twist the grass. In this example it's only one curve to better see the relationship. But it's possible to use two curves, which are then interpolated randomly per blade (previous post). #godot #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #grass #procedural

When you don't know when to stop... But, they are so gorgeous 🥹 The procedural grass generation tool now supports multi-twisting & rolling (any degrees), allowing the blades to curl. Tried also to render a lot, works very 👌 #godot #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #grass #procedural

Godot's shader reference is ok but it's kind of intermixed with tutorials, code & notes. I was constantly scrolling up/down and found it a bit uncomfy. So I made an interactive reference with some combiners and filters to only show what you need... #gamedev #godot #indiegamedev #indiedev #shaders

If you see this, quote with a game you've replayed multiple times! Tie between MegaMan 2 & 3. Countless as a child and now replaying it since several years on Switch/SteamDeck... Tag a friend (or someone you wish you were friends ;) ) @carni.bsky.social @cylowen.bsky.social @jupiter.blue

🔥🔥🔥 Important question! Anybody knows the order in which Godot loads resources referenced in scripts? Differences in editor/game and external/builtin? I get lots of nulls on _Ready(), but non-null later... (in editor/C#) #godot #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #resource #godoteditor

Started examples for the lib. More flashy so I thought it could be interesting. With the library none of those effects requires coding to setup and can easily be combined. Especially with other effects ^^ #godot #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamdev #vfx #effects #flash

Added spline-to-spline mesh deformation. 🌶 Vertices mapped by distance to splines & their pose + twist. Useful for other procedural generation like tree branches, flowers, plants ☘️🌴🌲🪴🌳 etc. And it's really fun ^^ #godot #procedural #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiedev #splines #meshed #deformation

I thought I would UNREAL'ing a little, but turns out I was GODOT'ing the whole time... Trying out to render a lot. New MassRenderer with render modes from instancing to baking to single nodes (for comparing, gpuparticles later) #godot #procedural #indiegamedev #gamedev #grass #bushes #trees #gibli

Working on generator nodes for this quads-to-billboard technique, often used for gibli-style trees. Somebody worked with those? UVs have only 2bits data & could be packed with other atts. And I'm tempted to call this part of the library godini ^^ #godot #procedural #gamedev #indiedev #gibli

It's the best time of the year to get ready for the A MAZE. Awards 2025. The submission for your works is starting next week. #Amaze2025 #playfulmedia #indiedev #arthousegames #indiegames #immersivetheatre

Also neat is uv segmention. Instead of blades, quads can be used, refering different uv segments to pick frames like in a flipbook. Here I'm using a 2×2 with grass and flowers. The curve allows to adjust the distribution. 🌱🌿 #godot #procedural #indiegamedev #gamedev #grass #flowers #indiedev

More of the grass, here using the blade height/scale curve distribution to create interesting highlights #godot #indiedev #gamedev #procedural

Worked on some procedural stuff in Godot for making nice grass patches. Included in the library ^^ #godot #gamedev #indiedev #procedural
