Can't wait for this one in particular, will make placement sooo much nicer - but also something I have a feeling a lot of people will miss given how it'll be a little hidden away github.com/godotengine/...

A short but noteworthy #devlog update - what secret could be in store?! (plus, enjoy some hot off the press art asset updates) www.patreon.com/posts/februa...

Getting real close to this major #godot road generator #addon update, hopefully tonight! One of the new updates is an integrated navigator between the different demo files, along with a "museum" scene to show off features - more to be added (and better annotated with a UI) in the future.

This was 10x more interesting than the title. TIL that several zelda games, including the very first one (!) as well as Echos & Awakening's remake, only exist because Nintendo was *trying* to make a dungeon building game and it kept not working so they pivoted. youtu.be/TwpogEUowdI?...

So this was insanely fun, and my first time doing something like it (aside from go karting): Motor track day at the CA BMW performance center, where we learned how to push Mini Coopers to the limit! This video was my best run - landing me a silver medal for the day #racing #mini #cooper #irl

New one-click setup buttons working in action, making it easier to discover and actually start using the #godot Road Generator #addon with Terrain3D. The setting panel is procedural, so in theory we can add other connectors/you can define your own (missing plugin hooks to do so for now though)

Making a desktop pet instead of an "actual game" was a risk, but got me to round two of the #gdko jam! Though... next round's theme is "multifunctional level(s)", no idea how imma do that when it's just a floating transparent guy in the corner of your screen 😅 theduckcow.itch.io/blobie-nakie...

Took longer than I feel it should have, but got this dynamic-y settings panel. Kind of emulates the export vars section of the Inspector Panel to link together settings in two places without hard coding. #godot #road #addon

Ever feel like you're stuck on a path, and just wish there were different forks to take? Well now you can - at least if you're making a road game in #Godot!

So uhhh procedural intersections just got merged to dev? Go have fun, ye aspiring civil engineers #godot #road #addon #procgen github.com/TheDuckCow/g...

Fast forward 1 week, and I've got myself a cute lil #godot desktop pet! This is my entry to this year's #gdko #gamejam round 1, focussed on customization - if I make it to the next round, I'll work on this guy a bit more. But in case you want him now: theduckcow.itch.io/blobie-nakie...

I've always been impressed with the engineering of floating bridges... but I guess I've always misunderstood what they meant by "floating"!

Messing around with multi / transparent window stuff. It's uhhhhhh going? Let's see where i can take this #gamejam #gdko Big kudos to this demo #godot project because fiddling with settings on my own wasn't getting me far github.com/geegaz/Multi...

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

My first #blender "animation" of the year, which was a random self demo to help respond to a youtube comment asking how to store datablocks for reuse later in the context of the NLA editor. Always kinda fun mashing actions together like this hehe.

Did you know that about 100 trillion neutrinos pass through your body like every second? And once you wear this beanie, ... you'll still have as many passing through. To be fair this is irrelevant the faraday beanie's claims, I just find neutrinos kinda neat.

On an NYE whim I flipped through some old work. Sometimes I'm so engrossed in game dev (or trying to make time for it) I forgot about those older pieces I used to be so proud of. I don't really make scenes like this anymore but was always kind of fun. Done in #Blender in 2014, early days of Cycles.

What a year. 🐧 - Lots of progress on Penguin Festival - Released TWO trailers - A bunch of Godot PRs + free addons - Many fun experiments - Leveled up skills - Said bye to Meta - Worked out / lowered cholesterol / sugar - Continued therapy + self-discovery #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev #VR

Took ages but I finally got there - the new connection tool UX and refactor is done so you can now create, move, delete, and dissolve all your road points + procedural intersections with ease. Try out the feature branch: github.com/TheDuckCow/g... #godot #godotengine #gamedev #addon #roads

This month's devlog packs a whole lot of road generator goodies for the end of the year - including procedural intersection progress, road-side decoration updates, and some cooking new UX interactions #godot #devlog www.patreon.com/posts/146328...

While reworking the connection UX tool for intersections, I got fed up with not having these shortcuts - already with the side adventure! Coming in the next Road Generator update, but still a WIP #godot #road #generator #addon

Very scary and sad to see the devastating floods of our nearby counties and cities - 100K person evacuation is wild, looks like hurricane damage. Happily donated to one of the official funds, one of those "every bit helps" even if it is a long road to recovery regardless: gofund.me/1add940a8

The same road you know and love from the last post, now in HD! (ie me testing with more realistic textures for once, and noting down lots of areas to eliminate repeating and stretching... but, not half bad to begin with, even with the intersection??) #godot #godotengine #road #gamedev

Procedural intersection coming along. In this scenario, showing off how you can turn a forked exit into an add lane exit. Obviously, would need another type of UV/mesh generator longer term for this use case, but it's already super cool having it interactive like this. #godot #addon #procgen

And so begins the journey of assigning correct UV for this general purpose intersection (ie me doing trial and error instead of actually trying to think too hard to do it correctly) #godot #roads

New month, who devlog? Highlights include some art style test updates from Wheel Steal, as well as a summary of in-progress features for the Road Generator by the community. www.patreon.com/posts/novemb...

I am drunk on power after realizing Godot lets you embed textures in RichTextLabels, and well... ViewportTextures are textures. 🤯 #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

You think my lock's company would sponsor a replacement if I shared in social media how the thief gave up 3/4th of the way cutting through and went for the cable lock on the bike next to mine instead?

Just saw that the #godot Road Generator passed 800 stars on github right after the v0.8.0 update... I guess should hurry up with v0.9.0 to hit 900 then! A big 💙 to the ever-growing list of contributors (and supporters) github.com/TheDuckCow/g...

"Even a broken clock is right twice a day". Am I making political commentary? Nope - just noticed my profile's banner image is back in season, maybe I'll actually update sometime this year!

Another one bites the dust, this one has really hampered the ability to make procedural placements along roads. No longer! #godot road generator, some testing tomorrow before merging and finally cutting the next release. github.com/TheDuckCow/g...

Officially at the stage of tutorial-driven-development for QoL improvements. Meaning, as I check how tutorial-worthy the current code is, I find and stamp out the awkward steps. Just here, a tweak to make it much easier to make bridge sections on the fly #godot #road #bridges

Dang this took me awhile, but was an important issue to fix before the official release of the Terrain3D support for the #godot Road Generator addon. To be merged shortly: github.com/TheDuckCow/g...

Hello Wheelers! Next #devlog is up - did you hear about our guest speaker from Criterion Games and new #godot Road Generator features? If not, stop by for a quick read - and remember to support our open source project if you can by becoming a member or lending a hand www.patreon.com/posts/septem...

You know, it's been quite a while since I've posted a tutorial - got this one ready just in time for you all

Look at that, the Godot Road Generator was just featured in a "10 ESSENTIAL addons for Godot 4" video by @mreliptik.bsky.social! Just barely too soon to tease Terrain3D sync and other recent updates, but still - super appreciate the mention (at the start no less) www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVvI...

Final result: Roads can now have UV'd undersides, useful for bridges. Fully interpolates between individual RoadPoints, including to an "off" mode, but defaults to parents so you can assign for the parent road container or overall system. Merged into dev from github.com/TheDuckCow/g...
