Putting together a NAS to store, snapshot and backup my game assets, as my Google Storage starts to be crowded. How do you store and version control your game assets? #gamedev #indiegamedev

#MaterialMaker 1.4 (#GodotEngine based PBR material authoring and 3D model texturing tool) is now available on @itchio . It is based on Godot 4, had a huge UI redesign and has quite a few new nodes. rodzilla.itch.io/material-mak...

In #GodotEngine, you can add new animations on top of imported animations. Here I add some juice to the crab's death animation by animating a couple of GPUParticle3D and a push back movement.

I finally updated my starter kit to 4.5 🚀Go check it out on Github! github.com/Nodragem/top... I also corrected a long standing bug 🪲where picking up the toygun would not work properly. #GodotEngine

Working on tutorials that explain the color-based puzzle/combat system: mark enemies of same color, shoot enemies of opposite color. #gamedev #godotengine #indiegame Have a look behind the scene below ⬇️

In John Space, players will have to work together to defeat enemies. Here one player is marking the crabs so that the other can shoot them. #gamedev #godotengine

💥 Impressive what you can do with 80 lines of GDscript and the EditorPlugin #GodotEngine

I often see VFX tutorial for #GodotEngine using an Animation Player to rotate the particles around an axis. I found that we can also do it with Orbit Velocity in the particle system. Just need to make sure you add a XYZCurve and only keep the Y Curve. #Gamedev

Breaking rubbish together is always fun! plus, breaking enough rubbish will earn you an healthkit #GodotEngine #Gamedev

🚀Quick tip for #GodotEngine, when using canvas_items stretch mode and you get blurry texts. In project settings, change rendering/textures/canvas_textures/default_texture_filter to nearest.

🕹️Showcasing my game prototype at the Cardiff GameDev meet-up yesterday 🚀! A lot of passionate people and a lot of useful feedback, I have got my energy level back up for the month! #godotengine #gamedev #cardiff

Feels great to see that my starter kit is being used! 🚀

I have no idea what I am doing 🚀🙃🚀! #GodotEngine #gamedev

Come play test the #DinoMayhem at @craftlakecity DIY Fest Tomorrow, Aug 10th! I'll be in the STEM building showcasing my game with other Indie Devs 👾 #indiedev #gamedevelopment #pixelart #dinosaur #games #screenshotsaturday #godot #madewithgodot #steam #videogames #retro #gaming

⛏️I wanted to carve my levels from the rocky background ⛏️using connected spheres of adjustable width. 😶Turns out you can do something very similar with #Blender3d by mixing its Skin modifier, Solid modifier and Boolean modifier. Makes me want to translate this workflow to #GodotEngine even more.

🚀Added even more juice to the Shooter (Large Weapon): - enemies are projected away on death with smoke particles - bits of crabs/stone are projected on death - dissolve effect on the projectile impact vfx 😶‍🌫️I am basically reusing a lot of my Starter Kit's tricks 😶‍🌫️ #GodotEngine #gamedev

😅I will stop adding juice when the player can't stop shooting and don't know why 🚀🚀! #GodotEngine #gamedev

🎵Sound ON 🔊I digged out this "prototype" I've made 8 years ago in #phaser.io because I remembered the sound of the gun was satisfying. There is no game in that game, and yet, you just want to keep shooting 🧐 This is what I would like to replicate in John Space (my current project).

And we're live! I've written up a short readme that explains how to use this, and a couple of example scenes to show it off! Please let me know if you try it out and have any questions or issues! #godot #gamedev #indiedev #feedbackwanted

#GodotEngine folks, one day, you will reimport animations for which you've changed the bone hierarchy. That day you will go crazy or remember that all this non-sense can be solved by clicking on this button:

I don't know if that happens just to me, but my aiming animation and my running animation are conflicting on the root spine bone. My solution is to create a RotationModifier node from SkeletonModifier3D, so I can override the rotation of the spine bone when aiming. #GodotEngine

🕹️Playtest 2 of #JohnSpace🕹️ Ok, this game starts to be fun! 😱🚀!! Main changes were to: - make the marking temporary so that Player 1 always has something to do - health counter and death, so now there is a real risk to lose the encounter #GodotEngine #Gamedev

Time to stop making tools and pretty stuffs 👀, and time to start making a game 🚀😅! #GodotEngine Here I am playtesting a game mechanic where one player has to mark enemies while the other can only shoot enemies when they have been marked.

Godot Hack: How to get 6x faster omni lights! #godot #godotengine

Hello #GodotEngine friends! I've just made a proposal to discuss whether we could use the TilemapLayer 2D auto-tilling in Gridmap: github.com/godotengine/... Let me know what you think!

📽️🦀Little crabs in action in #GodotEngine! I also start experimenting with film grain and scattering rocks/flora to hide the transition between Rock and Sand.

Hello #GodotEngine folks! When using LightmapGI, is there a way to control the size and intensity of the Ambient Occlusion? I have made a quick edit in Krita where I made the AO stronger to show what I mean:

😅When you're trying to do a quick level prototype and get ropped into making a polished enemy model, with its animations and state machine 🚀🚀 #gamedev #GodotEngine

Getting started with the animations of the little crab, should have him ready to import in #GodotEngine soon.

Well done everyone! Very proud to live in Wales :)

Explanation of why #GodotEngine repo has so many open unresolved pull requests, by @adamscott.studio #gamedev #opensource #FOSS

Ever experienced weird selection issues with #GodotEngine? Especially when iterating on a level you've imported from Blender? I think I finally got to replicate the bug: github.com/godotengine/...

These little buggers only just took a day and a half to bake from high poly to low poly... But I think it was worth it! #GodotEngine #b3d #nomadsculpt

One great advantage of using Blender as a level editor is the annotation tool :) Very useful to draft the main ideas of the level. #GodotEngine #b3d

If you ever wondered how to add a button in the top tool bar: #GodotEngine

This could have been a god sent: github.com/chairfull/Go... But without namespace, its Decorator class conflicts with the Decorator class in Beehave 🙃🙃🫠

🥳Back from a road trip to Scotland 🌄, back to gamedev 🕹️! 🥳 I improved my 3D platform generator and added collision shapes. I probably need to simplify the mesh even more, but it feels like a good first try. #gamedev #GodotEngine

After hours of playing with mesh generation tools in #GodotEngine, I can generate platforms from 3D curves! That will come in handy for level editing. Next step, adding a way to control the side profile of the platform.

#GodotEngine let you generate a mesh from a curve in 13 lines of code and that just feels quite amazing! It could even be 10 lines if Geometry3D had the triangulate_delaunay() function!

When you realise that Rigify was never meant to be used for gamedev 🫠🫠😭 #b3d Giving a try to Game Rig Tools to fix my rig now, wish me luck! Otherwise I will have to redo all my rig, weight painting and animations.

On a roll designing new enemies for John Space. The crab on the left will be throwing sticky balls that slow down or stuck the player before to attack them. The other crab is more of a swarm enemy. Can't wait to get them into #GodotEngine !

Working on the first enemy in John Space with #nomadsculpt. The idea is that wild life gets infected by a parasite. The parasite has two variants, one yellow and the other purple. Player 1 can shoot at purple infected enemies while Player 2 can shoot at yellow infected enemies.

I added a running animation and some lerp transitions between the idling and running states and between the changes in direction. Starts to feel like a game! #GodotEngine #JohnSpace

I deleted my Godot area light utility to avoid misinforming people, but then I found out it actually has huge advantages over using emissive materials 😅, so I'm bringing it back! Grab it here: github.com/CozyCubeGame... Details in the thread below 👇: #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

First pass on the running animation with #b3d Probably still a lot of cleaning to do, might even start from scratch tomorrow 😅

This is the final idle animation made in #Blender3d, using the Space Switching add-on from Lucas Roedel, and recorded in real-time in #GodotEngine. So exciting to see the art style of the project coming to life! PS: Recording my videos in 1080p does make Bluesky compression less visible.

Secondary animations in! Can't recommend enought the Space Switching technique. #b3d #GodotEngine

Space Switching is such a powerful tool to animate arms and head movements. It is incredible that Maya and Blender don't provide any tools to make it easier. Until then, here is this free add-on for #b3d: shorturl.at/U2hHQ
