In case anyone has been wondering why a certain Godot camera addon has been on a bit of an unintended dev hiatus since summer 🥲

Can finally reveal what we have been working on! 🔪 Also marks my first project as a UI/UX lead, which has been quite an exciting experience, to say the least. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uQn... #GameDev

Had a great time at #GodotFest meeting new and old friends! Always feel really inspired after a good event. Equally, am looking forward to get more than 4 hours of sleep; turns out it isn't very good for you

Just a week ago, I gave a shoutout to Phantom Camera, a #Godot plugin that makes dealing with cameras so much easier and more fun — and what a pleasant surprise yesterday to meet its creator @marcusskov.com at #GodotFest here in Munich! phantom-camera.dev

Longer break than expected, but sloooowly getting back in the groove again

JetBrains is sponsoring the work we do for all of you! If you are working in GDScript or C#, you should give Godot + Rider a go. We would like to thank them for becoming a Platinum Sponsor of the project! godotengine.org/article/jetb... @jetbrains-rider.bsky.social

Have been pretty quiet lately as a lot of things have been happening in my personal and professional life. One of the main things has been to relocate overseas and as of last weekend I OFFICIALLY MOVED (BACK) TO DENMARK 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰 Still settling in, but hope to resume projects in the near future!

Never ceases to be funny when coworkers mix up Denmark, Amsterdam and Belgium all in one sentence

Prototyping a battle system with multiple phantom camera nodes is so fun #gamedev #indiedev #GodotEngine

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...

🌟 It's Asset Store showtime 🌟

Would love to see this change! Often struggle with noticing the small (*) in the tabs and generally rely on the unsaved changes warning modal. Has never felt like an ideal behaviour pattern...

Looking forward to this! Will be my first time in Munich too 🇩🇪

Also recommend the plugin I'm using for the persistent camera preview in-editor! github.com/anthonyec/go...

Another release is ready! This one adds some much-needed rotational stability to Third-Person follow mode while working in the editor, interpolation override support and some minor quality-of-life improvements. Note: As of this release, Godot 4.3 is required. #GodotEngine

Recently merged a feature to make a Camera2D optionally rotate with its follow target. Kinda amazed I didn't implement this ages ago…

Been working on updating the camera orbiting feature, where it will always be facing its target and retain its relative rotation and position regardless of what rotation the target or root node has. No parenting, just (Quaternion) math. #GodotEngine

Almost a year later and the C# Wrapper is now merged and officially part of Phantom Camera as of this release thanks to the great work of two contributors. The update also comes with a few minor enhancements, mainly for 3D projects. 🧵 1 / 3 #GodotEngine #CSharp #GameDev

This is a really cool implementation! Makes me think of potential workflows where you do technical tasks on a computer, and visual tasks on your tablet in the same Godot project.

🎓 Here's a small beginner Godot tip: When debugging by printing values to the output you should probably use `prints` instead of `print`! It's practically the same but it adds an empty space between multiple values. There is also `printt` which adds tabulation instead, but I find it less useful.

Gotten positive responses and one bug report so far already. If you're a C# #Godot user would appreciate any help testing this or hear your thoughts on the implementation!

Can see I've got some dev logs to catch up on 👀

Phantom Cam from @marcusskov.com is great, saved me a week of messing with camera :P Using a trick he mentioned on the forum for angles (github.com/ramokz/phant...) #experiments #godot #skate

A fair few have asked for better C# support and thanks to the stellar work from 2 contributors, Phantom Camera now has an official wrapper. Should make using the addon in C# feel a lot more elegant and native. This is a pre-release, so feedback is welcome. github.com/ramokz/phant... #GodotEngine

After 18 months of gestation, Godot and SwiftUI had a baby! Xogot is out now on the AppStore: blog.la-terminal.net/xogot-godot-... AppStore: apps.apple.com/us/app/xogot...

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

custom particle processor with special emission mesh data. selects randomized spawn positions on tris, then fetches uv mapped albedo texture texel on the tri, + inherits src tri lighting +bakes it into the particle at spawn time. makes a neat stylized effect #godotengine #gamedev #wip #vfx #rtvfx

Screen reader support is huge! Happy to see it being part of Godot core 🎉

Have been working on this for a while and given it's a new month, today feels like the day to announce some exciting news. That's right, Phantom Camera is going to support 4D scenes in Godot! Something no other camera addon has ever done. Can't wait to see what cool 4D scene people make with it!

New Phantom Camera patch release is out PhantomCamera3D nodes can now change the up direction of the camera when Look At mode is enabled, which should be useful for space sim and F-Zero-like projects The release also resolves a scene change and export issue from the previous release #GodotEngine

🔍 In search of the simplest way to scale GUI in Godot! 🕑 Took me a few weeks to finally get around to it, but here's the article on GUI scaling strategies and tips! humnom.net/thoughts/67b... #godotengine #godottips #uiux

Later than expected, but the latest release of Phantom Camera addon for #godotengine is now out with support for multiple Camera and Host nodes This also marks the key stepping stone for adding split screen support in a later release As usual the update also comes with fixes and other improvements

Reminder that Phantom Camera is already taking advantage of the newly added 3D physics interpolation that was released in #Godot 4.4 It greatly simplifies the user experience in 3D scenes, where you can now select 3D physic-based nodes as a follow or look at target, and it just works™

I'm not sure which of you need to hear this, but: If you push yourself to your limits and burn out for a company, you are trading years of your future productivity for minor gains in the present. Burning out will _fuck you up_, it's like brain fog or depression, and it takes years to recover

what has godot been cooking over there? 😭😭

Got around to finally adding support for having multiple Phantom Camera Hosts in a given scene. Also comes with a handy lil' editor UI for selecting and previewing different cameras that have a Host node. #GodotEngine #Godot

Godot 4.4 beta 1 is finally here! This release had tons of editor quality of life features as well as performance improvements, we know you are going to love it. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, we added embedded game debugging inside the editor! #godotengine godotengine.org/article/dev-...

I'm on the lookout for a couple of good-looking examples of Dialogue Manager in the wild to add to a little showcase so if you want to be considered for the list then fill out this form: 😎 forms.gle/7GDgQnM7XTBK... #Godot #GodotEngine

What we found was one of the very worst examples of workplace abuse in the history of this industry. That may sound hyperbolic. I really don't think it is. Here's our investigation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR9H... (5/7)

It is amazing to think that an animated indie film made in Blender could win over so many heavy hitters from well established studios. Big win for open-source creative tools!

Here's how I do lighting in godot, hope it helps!

One of my initial thoughts when I added Follow Path support was that it could probably work neatly as a Crash-like camera system. Turns out it does! www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDXj...

Added a new feature to lock individual axes when a camera is following a target, along with a couple of other enhancements and bug fixes. See release notes for more info and examples: github.com/ramokz/phant... #Godot #GodotEngine

We made an update to show the count of one-time donations in the website. If you want to see the number go up, you can make a donation! #godotengine fund.godotengine.org

While Godot 4.4 isn't quite out yet, that doesn't mean we can't be ready for when the day comes. The long-awaited 3D Physics Interpolation is now supported in the latest addon release. It should greatly improve visual results and UX for 3D scenes. github.com/ramokz/phant... #godotengine #godot

Was back in Denmark for just a few days and the random overnight snow never cease to be oh so pretty
