A little visual comparison of the low-res texture style I'm using for my FPS Children of Kronos. Albedo only vs Albedo + Roughness + Normal Roughness and Normal maps are 2x the resolution of the albedo textures. Again, everything is run through Quake 2 color palette.

Shoutout to @queble.bsky.social for editing this year

Low resolution textures made in Material Maker combined with roughness and normal maps, all run through the Quake2 palette. #GodotEngine #ChildrenOfKronos

When you get a simple FPS enemy state system up and the computer can finally fight back. Features: - Idle, Patrol, Chase, Attack states - Line of sight for obstacle cover - Sight and Attack Radius Will reintegrate the ragdoll logic next. #GodotEngine #ChildrenOfKronos

Godot Engine AnimationTree is pretty sweet. Super easy to blend between animations and setup a state machine to control it all. Can also filter out bones so you can blend animations with even more precision. Now to just connect this all to the movement code.

I have been sleeping on Material Maker. What a great, free, and open source piece of software! With Godot, Material Maker, and Blender + Ucupaint combo...I am completely open source in my workflow.

Enemy system is underway, connected to Trenchbroom. Just place in Trenchbroom, select the type of enemy and connect a trigger object. And with a base enemy scene that uses resources, all the enemy logic is in one place.

Playing around with the death effects. Will come up with something better than the "You Died" part but paying homage to the Doom just felt right. #ChildrenOfKronos

Boom + Effects #GodotEngine #ChildrenOfKronos

What are some features, addons, plugins, QoL enhancements that you feel are missing from the #GodotEngine?

Boom (you'll have to imagine the explosion part for now) #ChildrenOfKronos #GodotEngine

Localized physics-based hit reactions for my game's FPS combat. Can't wait to test the shotgun #GodotEngine #ScreenshotSaturday

Hey! v2 of the Godot Plushie just dropped. I missed last round...not missing this one. www.makeship.com/products/god...

Sad to hear that Drew Struzan has passed away. If you grew up in the 80s - 90s, his art shaped your movie memories: Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and more. His work reminds us why hand-crafted and human art matters. Every poster was a labor of skill and soul. A true artist.

#SteamNextFest is here and I want to see what #GodotEngine games are joining. Or if you're just working on something cool, share in the replies!

Thinking about adding an old-school centered weapon option. (and left-handed) #ChildrenOfKronos #GodotEngine

Working on a shield overlay shader effect. #ChildrenOfKronos #GodotEngine

Quake 2 looks pretty good in the Godot Engine.

Tube lights are cool. #GodotEngine #ChildrenOfKronos

What secrets lie within the dark vents? #MadeInGodot

Using Trenchbroom's FGDSolidClass with func_godot to place gravity zones is awesome. 1. Create your brush for collision 2. Assign the class 3. Adjust your script settings 4. Build Fast and easy to iterate. #ChildrenOfKronos

Doors + Triggers = Lots of possible bugs Nothing a little stress-test can't help.

Rotating gravity corridor. Geometry needs some love to visually support the effect but the gravity code is there. 🎮🔗 in bio

My upcoming retro FPS will let you walk on walls and ceilings as you bend gravity to your will. And as of today, you can wishlist it on Steam!

Anyone want to have a firefight in an O'Neill cylinder? Ramp gravity logic works for the full 360.

Some asked what happens when you leave the gravity ramp early... You just lerp to the nearest 90 degree basis. Can players potentially get to odd walls or floors they shouldn't and find secrets? Yes 😉

Refined the transitions from my gravity ramps to knock out most edge cases. Level design is going to be fun with this gravity mechanic (and difficult). The ability to reset gravity at any time will open up some creative movement for players.

Fixed it. Been working on an EnvironmentManager so I can adjust parts of the WorldEnvironment separately with custom resource (FogResource, SkyResource). Should allow me to swap/lerp between resources with a signal call from anyway. Like when you go underwater.

I think I broke something...

Can now make the traditonally hated water level

time to go swimming

Doing visuals in Godot means I can choose between 3D or orthographic views. Basically taking what was hours of work and taking 10-15 minutes to setup.

This is so much fun to play with

Step handling test for my Godot retro FPS setup. In case you need to smoothly move over jagged rocks.

Will be live in 5 minutes on Twitch with TheIndieDen for a live #GodotEngine game jam judging. Come hang and check out some cool Godot games. m.twitch.tv/theindieden/...

Working on the Trenchbroom + Godot setup. Building a prototype level where different rooms can showcase and test different features.

Doing almost all of my tutorial animations and visualizations in Godot now. Once you setup the custom classes and animation logic...putting together fun visuals like the first half here takes minutes AND is tied to actual game data.

Excited to partner with @theindieden.bsky.social and r/indiegames for the first #godotengine Indie Den Game Jam. Submissions open Aug 20th until Sep 4 and I'll be a judge. The best games will get featured on my channel so if you're interested, sign up on the jam page. itch.io/jam/the-indi...

Next episode of the #godotengine FPS series is all about adding camera juice, retro style.

I think it's time we've accepted that @passivestar.bsky.social's "Minimal" Godot theme should become the default Godot Editor theme. It's time #godotengine

Godot's editor is so adaptable. I've used various animation methods for my tutorial code segments, which usually took way too long or looked "meh". So, I built my own within the #godotengine. Now I've got custom auto-typing paste, and code selection zoom effects in the editor.

The best sign a video is reaching new viewers? Tons of comments on how I'm mispronouncing "Godot". 🤣

Anyone making a game in the #godotengine? I want to see it! Post videos and links below ⬇

NEW 1 hour-long FPS tutorial! We're starting fresh with a version 2.0. LINK: youtu.be/L5ObCs9OMRY The first episode covers the player controller, state machine, dynamic reticle, crouching, camera controller, and more.

For my updated FPS tutorial series for #godotengine, I wanted to have better visuals when discussing concepts. I had initially opted to use Motion Canvas (which is excellent) but then realized...Godot has everything I need to do graphics in-engine.

Been working on this for months... the new 2.0 version of my #godotengine FPS Tutorial Series is coming. Here is my proposed roadmap.

GodotCon Boston Day 2. Finally got some #GodotEngine swag.

The Showcase section at GodotCon Boston showing some interesting and cool games. Been packed all day.

GodotCon Boston is underway! Already meeting tons of cool people. #GodotEngine
