If you didn't meet the over-caffeinated guy with the space game around #GodotFest, or you could not see the action, because he wisely chose a dark nebula for the demo: here is a video showing off the Quick Command System. youtu.be/_4o6eL-l03A Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4060820/...

Finally decided to open an account here 🏴‍☠️ So if you don't know us, we're NightShiftGames, a married couple from Prague working on PirateSurvivors! You can go playtest the game for free on #Steam and give us feedback (and a wishlist) to support us! store.steampowered.com/app/3278170/...

What felt like the biggest compliment at #GodotFest was being asked how much I doctor my screenshots :D I myself think the game looks way better in motion. My only trick is I made a button/script to pause gameplay without locking the camera. That way I get a janky photo mode, but I don't even use it

If you're into #Godot and need a place to talk about scripting (not only gdscript), various techs, sharing wisdom and experiences, head for @thegodotbarn.com and its discord server discord.gg/KqHTFEJXw9

Talked about the nice @indieverse.bsky.social discord server to people at #GodotFest. Feel free to join, hang out and chill discord.gg/MFZ96sah7c .

#GodotFest sets the bar high. Quality talks and great organization. I've met many delightful devs. Unfortunately, I've not seized the opportunity to greet many of the people i know online 😥 Everybody looked super busy.

Excited to attend the "Keeper to Keepers" talk about adding multiplayer to existing basecode @ #GodotFest ! This one could have helped me years ago ...

My #godotfest talk is online! Check it out to see how I do the lofi graphics style of Reconfigure and add juice by enabling all the effects in the post-processing system, and more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfip...

Ready for day 2 of #GodotFest

Good news! Even if you couldn’t make it to #GodotFest this year, all the recorded talks are now gradually being uploaded to our YouTube channel. If you’d like to support the speakers (and us!) in reaching a wider audience, a like and sub would be awesome! youtube.com/@GodotFest

Wow ! The talk "Don't ship the wrong game" by René Habermann at #GodotFest was so inspiring that i wanted to code a prototype right away during the talk itself ;)

Lots of good talks at #GodotFest. Meeting nice people too :) I'm too shy to make the first step tho...

I've vanquished the German railroads and made it to my hotel ! Time to relax in the lobby ...

As a request, I have implemented the Steerable Perlin Noise by jakericedesigns as a real Noise resource in #GodotEngine. The implementation is a port of the shader code, so it's a bit slow. Feel free to contribute/review/give insights : github.com/CasualGarage... #procgen #perlin #noise

Well, it got to start somewhere ...

After about 2 years my strange clockwork-cosmic-horror-narrative-card/boardgame Is released! Proud of this one, hope it does well enough for me to keep exploring this unique and exciting avenue of game dev.

Let's generate simple 2D mazes in #Godot ! thegodotbarn.com/contribution... #procgen #indiegamedev

Soon at @thegodotbarn.com , a very simple 2D maze generator using the Kruskal algorithm. The code is utterly simple and can be the starting point of more complex maps (adding weaving, rooms, etc.). #procgen #godot (Thx @jamisbuck.bsky.social for his wonderful book "Mazes For Programmers")

More updates for my farming game. 🌱🧍‍♂️ #indiedev #pixelart #videogames #gamedev

Time to make a small godot module about simple feedforward neural networks and backpropagation learning. But i suspect it already exists somewhere. Anyway, my module will be purely restricted to that scope only.

What are your favorite headphones ? Got two actually, for different purposes : Those neat Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro 80 Ohm (closed), and AKG K-702 (opened) #headphone #sound

Script prototype of daylight map : Amount of light the map get through the day. Missing: indirect lighting(will depend on type of terrain), and taking water into account. Then, porting this in C++/OpenMP/AVX. #procgen #indiegamedev #solodev #Godot

I'll be at the GodotFest'25 which takes place in Munich, Germany , 11th and 12th of November 2025. Hope to see you there ! godotfest.com @godotfest.com

I'm the co-founder of @thegodotbarn.com . It is a (totally free) collaborative website/community about pricing snippets and tricks for simple features you may want to use in your games in #Godot. Feel free to come and visit, go to the discord server. We are willing to provide help to everybody ! 💙

Used AVX to unlock usage of SSE2 extended CPU instruction set. The computation is twice as fast now. Lakes and rivers are computed using a "trick". It only takes 5ms. Irrigation map uses those data to determine where the vegetation thrive due to irrigation (and takes ~100ms). #procgen #indiedev

Irrigation map computed using C++/OpenMP. The lakes and rivers only take less than 5ms to compute, but the irrigation requires to be spread using some rules. Too reach stable state requires ~200ms with a core i5-13th gen :/ Next step, vegetation based on irrigation ... #indiegame #solodev #procgen

Just made a small UI node in #Godot to display monitors layout (which is handy if you have multiple monitors and you want to select one). thegodotbarn.com/contribution... #uiux #accessibility #indiegamedev

Here is a small terrain generator/renderer in few lines of #gdscript and #glsl in #godot. The generation part is the most basic one. The vertex shader is just a bit more complex, but not that heavy. If needed, I can provide some explanation in a more in depth post. thegodotbarn.com/contribution...

Coming soon at @thegodotbarn.com , ultra-simple small terrain generation (based on FastNoise). Script + Shader. This example is a 128x128 terrain with a bicubic Bezier interpolation vertex shader to smooth. #GodotEngine #gdscript #glsl #indiegamedev #GodotTips

Hurry up, just 1️⃣ day left to the end of the Steam Autumn Sale, with all my games discounted (( 30% OFF )) 🔥 👇👇👇 store.steampowered.com/developer/xsgames

Dots are connecting. All the small bricks I've crafted here and there are finally starting to build something bigger. It's not very evocative in that video, but everything here has something special (remember the cubic Bezier terrain, the input management, etc. ?) #gamedev #solodev

You can now play the #Starjumper demo. Please leave a comment what you like and what not! #godot #gamedev papapandagames.itch.io/starjumperdemo

It seems like the internet love cat pics, so here is one of our mascot : Turbo ! #cat

I have made a more lengthy video of the ground texture editor prototype with a full-length explanation of what it's all about. Please note that there only a textured quad involved. No crazy geometry with millions of polygons. #GodotEngine #indiegamedev #solodev #procgen youtu.be/y2zZELKHXaM

It's available now github.com/diegzumillo/...

Some additional lines of code and voilà : Editing directly on the 3D tile. Love #Godot for that. #indiegamedev #solodev

Fixed the "sharpness" parameter pretty easily, using a mix between (F2 - F1) and min(F1, F2)^3 (F1 and F2 being Worley output parameters). The cubic easing is purely arbitrary, but it works pretty well. #procgen #GodotEngine #indiegamedev #solodev

Still working on this #procgen ground texture tool. The "sharpness" parameter is not satisfying. I have chosen a simple solution that simply doesn't fit. I think working on F1 and F2 Worley outputs will be necessary. #GodotEngine #indiegamedev #solodev #glsl

Made a change in the Worley distance function and the sharpness management (not more expensive pow). It looks much better now (especially the details). #GodotEngine #indiegamedev #solodev #glsl #procgen

Static blog site generator : Hugo or Jekyll ?

So many ideas for my little bomberman clone. Too many. But i have to take controls into consideration. 4 moving controls (directions) and no more than two action controls (normal/bomb laying) + special action (perk activation ?).

The #procgen normal texture is controlled by 3 parameters : detail, sharpness and "lush". It is based on a fBm fractal worley noise. It is meant for ground texture. The "real" colors will come later (and that will be fun to explain how). #Godot #glsl #IndieGameDev #gamedev #solodev

Small side project, when i've got some spare-time on my spare-time. #bomberman clone in #Godot ! It will be both singleplayer and local/online multiplayer with tons of perks and pixel + shader madness ! #gamedev #solodev #indiegamedev

Directly controlling #procgen texture by altering level of detail and smoothness. The "surprise" component will come soon(tm). #gamedev #indiegame #Godot #GodotEngine #glsl

You were interrupted by the shuffle because you locked one of the sides of the grid while trying to make a combo? Worry not, there is now a shuffle button to decide when to shuffle. Who said strategy? 👀 #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #Godot #mobilegame #puzzlegame #cozygame

I've failed. I was supposed to code a whole multiplayer bomberman clone during the week-end and this sunday ... my body failed me (chronic health issue). So, for now, here is a singleplayer clean-coded stuff in #Godot using some placeholder assets and lots of programmer art :) #gamedev #indiegame

More on procgen texture using fractal Worley. The "parameter" texture channels are : R: Octaves/Detail, G: Distance easing, B: Distance maxing (round contour vs. straight line poly). Here, detail changed dynamically, easing on Y axis, contour on X axis. #Godot #glsl #gamedev #procgen

Procedural texture controlled by a parameter texture. This is based on fractal Worley noise. For now, one channel of the control texture contains octave and another channel the easing exponent. The transition between octaves is seamless. #Godot #gamedev #glsl

Doing some maths again. Very relaxing. Making shaders is like meditation.
