Here's a new #Godot tutorial on creating a simple third person camera system from scratch. We also add polish to smooth the camera (sensitivity and damping), and (optionally) tweak the player movement code to move and rotate in the camera's direction. #gamedev youtu.be/ZKrBsDmU-l4

Something a little bit different today... how do we translate our movement with a rotating camera? A short < 3 min (rather shaky, sorry) tutorial, exploring 2D/3D co-ordinate spaces and vector transformations. Also featuring, rubber duck! youtu.be/UlO7cMZkHdI #godot #gamedev

goddamn can't even turn something 45 degrees

Tiny project - some rather humble axis markers made from mugwort branches & twine. I'll use them in upcoming #gamedev videos!

lol literally my entire feed is bunnies and beans

my ducks!! are not in a row!

I've just released a Basic 3D Character Controller for #Godot! 🤖 Get a #gamedev project up and running with an animated character who can walk, run, and roll. 🔧 Customise settings eg. speeds, variable jump, acceleration. 🎥 Contains a standalone third person camera. www.patreon.com/posts/basic-...

A little open source delight... a prototype using a single texture from Kenney's prototype assets, the built-in #Godot icon to texture Godotnaut, and Mesh2Motion animations. I'll make this one available on GitHub along with a tutorial so you can code it yourself soon! #gamedev

Here's a new tutorial in my #Godot #gamedev series! We get acquainted with Godot's scripting language (GDScript) and script editor. We (re)examine Node hierarchies and Classes, learn coding basics (variables/properties, functions, and if statements) and input youtu.be/BIW22YSe5nY

Node inheritance is kinda like biology (a snippet from an upcoming video) #godot #gamedev

How do we look at another object... a very simple and classic gamedev question. The answer is atan2! youtu.be/qFSAcCwQS0E #godot #gamedev

godotnaut is very WELCOMING!! a little over eager but look they are rather socially anxious... #godot #gamedev

so this is why look_at() is a bit UM wonky in #godot #gamedev

An essential bit of gamedev math - atan2! We often know a target's position and want to face it. But how do we get the angle? angle = atan2(y / x) Or in 3D... angle = atan2(x / z) (We can also see below, what happens if we use atan instead of atan2) #godot #gamedev

A new #godot tutorial that tries to answer... What are visual materials? Why are there so many slots for them!? Where do we put shaders and how do we use them? youtu.be/-hhwYgjRFc4

How to face bunny

A very beginner-focused #gamedev tutorial, with a little bit of #godot as usual - What are materials? youtu.be/l14ryz3OdN8

Ever wondered what the ".res" and ".tres" mean in #Godot? They're res-ource files! Packets of data (eg. a material) that don't do anything on their own, but can be used by Nodes (eg. to render an object). A ".res" file is binary, while ".tres" is t-ext based human readable.

Seeing in ultraviolet? #godot

What assets can we use in gamedev? This video covers common licenses (creative commons, MIT, public domain - permissive, restrictive, and open source) and file types of assets (FBX, glTF, OBJ, blend), and their impacts on our creative projects. youtu.be/gPxZzoAM0Vk #godot

My apologies friends, this week's video about asset pipelines with Godot is a little late - in part because I am (FURIOUSLY) struggling to find texture packs that are not made with AI to recommend using. Likely up tomorrow instead - I am a very grumpy cosmonaut!

Here's a new tutorial - setup basic 3D movement and collisions in #Godot! We discuss the different kinds of physics bodies, revisit node hierarchy, and Godot's built-in CharacterBody movement script youtu.be/S6NeTy9z_rE

A very gentle start to my Intro to #Godot tutorial series. Covers installing Godot/different versions (stable/beta/dev), basic project setup, Godot's Node architecture, Object Oriented Programming, and uncover a mystery Aussie animal 🦘⁉️ youtu.be/Kdr7sD0-r68

I am officially back... with bees. New tutorial video every week! #Godot

buzz pollination

emote near a fellow bee and dance together #godot

Making friends with spiders :) #godot

this is your friendly reminder to use source control! you don't wanna spend all day working on something only to delete it accidentally and have no way of getting it back!! code, models, writing bits, it all should be backed up!!! we've all been there haha!!!! !!

dialogue is in, so forgive the puns. happily, you can walk away at any point to end it early

I have an extreme soft spot for the Life is Strange series... outrageously ridiculous and camp. So I'm going to play "Life is Strange: Double Exposure" tonight...!

alright this is getting preeetty damn cute #godot #gamedev

This is incredibly disappointing... as if there aren't enough hoops for women/nbs & marginilised folks to jump through to get into coding/gamedev. Rather than grooming folks down the AI slop and techbro commodification hellhole, how about we teach people to, y'know, CODE?

Hello friends!! My plans have changed quite substantially since we last spoke... I am FINALLY making a new #gamedev tutorial series, but this time with #godot !
