Thank you @cookiebadger.bsky.social for adding area lights to Godot! I wanted to have soft glow bars on these dynamic panels and thanks to your work, it's now possible!

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

Please sire, may I get the Godot Traits PR merged?

I researched a dozen ways of putting Godot's new 'game embedding' option in the run bar. I landed on a clean and extendable proposal to improve the entire run bar instead: github.com/godotengine/... feedback always welcome! #godotengine

Next prototype, a setup-and-play puzzler. Reorder bots, push boxes! #godot #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Godot represents the future where the engine belongs to you and you're free to do whatever you want in the most exciting creative medium to have ever existed in the history of humanity

#Godot 4.6 is out, and all about your flow! This release puts you and your workflow first with a new theme, flexible docks, and dozens of UX improvements. And Jolt Physics by default, revamped IK, better reflections, and more. Less wrestling with UI. More making games. godotengine.org/releases/4.6

Prototyping a grid-based 2D puzzle game using Godot's GridMap. So far so good, instead of designing the levels in code/config, it's possible to design them in the editor instead and then reconstruct the grid representation

The new godot UI theme has been merged and is on its way to be the new default! I consider godot to be one of the most important software projects of our time and it's a huge privilege to be able to contribute to it. Happy to see it grow and be used for increasingly ambitious games and apps ❤️

Needed a quick diagram on #APChem today to remind students about vapor pressure. @chemixapp.bsky.social was super handy!!

Quick prototype: Fly a plane and don't get hit by the wind turbines! More danger, more points. No install needed, play in your phone browser. Let me know what you think. codelite.org.uk/wingstrike #godot #gamedev

#GodotEngine 4.5 has finally arrived! 🎉 With this new release, we made meticulous efforts in order to amplify what is possible to do with our engine, guided by our goal of making gaming and game development for everyone! godotengine.org/releases/4.5/

godot 4.6 will likely have support for specular light in baked lightmaps

It's been a long journey, but we're at the tail-end of 4.5's beta cycle at last! Godot 4.5 beta 6 is now live! Help us prepare for the Release Candidate stage by giving it a spin: godotengine.org/article/dev-...

Godot may get approximate specular light from baked directional lightmaps, which is huge github.com/godotengine/...

Every puzzle has a story 🧩✨ Zoom in, rotate, and uncover the tiny details tucked into every corner that bring each puzzle to life! Try it in Puzzling Places - 3D Jigsaw Sim, coming soon to Steam in both 2D and SteamVR! 🎮 #PuzzlingPlaces #IndieGame #CozyGaming #Steam

Solve puzzles by shifting gravity. Gridfall is a first-person puzzle game where you manipulate gravity to find your way through a world filled with mysterious architecture. Subscribe for updates: codelite.org.uk/gridfall/ #PitchYaGame #GameDev #Indiedev

Practicing some modelling to a reference in #Godot. Mostly lit using emissive lights, but couldn't quite get the glow near the ceiling to be strong enough. Also not enough blue tinge compared to reference. #indiegame #gamedev #leveldesign #godot

I've been prototyping new puzzle levels for #Gridfall, this one took a bit of adjusting but I'm happy with the final layout. It looks deceptively simple to solve but there are a few gotchas. #indiedev #gamedev #puzzlevideogame

Gentoo Rescue is releasing next week! It's a tricky #puzzlegame with lots of deductions (spatial and non-spatial), rule discovery, and some meta shenanigans with [redacted] and [redacted] and recursion. store.steampowered.com/app/2830480/... #WishlistWednesday #sokoban #indiegamedev #solodev

LightmapProbeGrid is such a lifesaver! #godot LightmapGI baking can autoplace Lightmap probes for you, but sometimes they end up on geometry boundary, resulting in underlit dynamic objects. godotengine.org/asset-librar... #indiegame #gamedev

Made a gameplay trailer for Failed Falling, my reverse Getting Over It. I'm surprised how quickly I was able to make it! Now the Steam page is complete! Hopefully it's good enough to get wishlists! store.steampowered.com/app/3621600/... #ScreenshotSaturday #SoloDev #GameDev #IndieGame #GodotEngine

New mechanic - proximity sensors (& cubes)! They interact nicely with the gravity shifts to create interesting puzzles. This level is one of the first ideas I had, will be prototyping more challenging layouts. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #puzzlegame

Gentoo Rescue has reached 1500 wishlists! If you're a fan of tricky puzzle games, then check it out, try the demo, and add to this number. It's releasing May 22nd! 🐧Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/2830480/... 🐧Demo: store.steampowered.com/app/2883360/... #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegame

Been working fulltime on this first-person puzzler for over a year now! Can't wait to drop the demo soon.. 👀 Wishlist to get notified: store.steampowered.com/app/2299940/... #gamedev #indiedev #puzzlegame #indiegame

I really need to do my game about unchecked capitalism... In the meantime you can play my puzzle and existential crisis games for free: ancientpixel.itch.io

A playthrough of one of the new levels. Already had 1 playtester break it in 2 different ways and another telling me it was too easy #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #puzzlegame #godot

Happy #screenshotsaturday looking forward to a weekend of getting more tasks done and chilling with the chihuahua at home xD #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #ゲーム制作 #ドット絵 #ゲーム開発 #픽셀아트

Reworked the deadly/safe fall indicator, based on feedback. It is no longer combined with the reticle, which confused players. To be honest, still considering just removing it and let players just try and see! #indiegame #gamedev #puzzlevideogame #godot

Without knowing much about this game, is it clear what this reticle symbol means? #indiegame #gamedev #puzzlevideogame #godot

New reticle! It not only shows which surfaces you can switch gravity to, but also lets you know if drop is safe or fatal, if you look down. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #godot #liminal #puzzlegame

Few people have asked for a game in my art style and I've actually been cooking since November 2024 :) Here are some scenes from the slice of NYC where the game will take place. #gamedev #indiegame #UE5 #UnrealEngine

This level is called The Square, as it features, well, a large illuminated square. Which lighting looks better - horizontal vs vertical? #PuzzleGame #indiegame #gamedev #puzzlevideogame #leveldesign

Added particles effects+postprocessing. Considering a few variations in the space fold visuals. Which version seems best? #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #thinkygames #madewithunity

Completed another prototype level, this one is quite vertical. Is it clear which way the exit could be? 👉 Subscribe for updates: subscribepage.io/gridfall #screenshotsaturday #PuzzleGame #puzzle #thinkygame #puzzlevideogame

Can you find a way to the exit at the top of this vertical gallery? #leveldesign #indiegame #solodev #godot

Sometimes less is more. Tried to make this puzzle idea work by adding more pieces. The level ended up a confusing, joyless mess. Paring it back brought out the main elements while still challenging the player. #leveldesign #solodev #godot #indiegame

Early playtesting showed players losing track of which way to go after several gravity shifts. Next step - experiment with subtle ways to signpost. #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #indiegame #gravity #playtest #Gridfall

🎮 Working on a Game Dev Starter Pack for Bluesky! Thought it’d be nice to share a list of devs, artists & other cool folks worth following. First part in the comments! — more coming soon! 🔵Tell me if you want to be in too, or if you are on the list and don’t want to be in — please let me know!🔵

Done! Implemented a tutorial level to explain the core mechanic. Hope I got the mood lighting right. One step closer to playtesting. #indiegames #godot #liminal #gamedev

Gravity shifts can be disorientating and nauseating, so I've added a "down" indicator, plus a reticle that also highlights which surfaces the player can shift onto. #gamedev #indiegames #puzzle #solodev

Found inspiration for a puzzle level when passing the Royal College of Art. The building’s first two floors are offset, creating an interesting wall-walking section. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame

Hi #gamedev, share your Game Engine and 3 screenshots of your game! Mine's are from a work-in-progress game #Gridfall #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godotengine

The #blender ➜ #godot workflow is pretty smooth and allows me to quickly prototype level ideas. docs.godotengine.org/en/4.4/tutor... #gamedev #indiegame

Tutorial puzzles on the sliding panels. Level modelled in #Blender #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Similar to Portal’s “non-portalable surfaces”, Gridfall will have walls which you can’t use to change gravity direction (but can still walk on). Do you think this material/visual communicates this well? #indiedev #gamedev
