I have lowered the price of my last (and only) steam published game, Jump'N'Brawl, to $1.99 (the price is adjusted depending on location, so it might be lower for some countries). It's a fun small local co-op brawling game. #indiegame store.steampowered.com/app/2174440/...

When coding in C++ for #GodotEngine, I usually perform internal computation using my flavor of C++ and then return/expose data in a more "godot way" (for script usage, usually). But I'm curious. How would you have done this ? (for me, it's fine ;) ). #cpp #coding

I have started a ko-fi page. I'll post devlogs and (almost certainly) propose various services. If you want to support me or if you like what i'm sharing, it's here : ko-fi.com/casualgarage...

Refactoring my native terrain generator to use it instead of computing the terrain with gdscript. The heightmap computation is now lightning fast. And i've changed the visualizer : no more blocks ! My good old bicubic Bézier interpolation is back. #GodotEngine #procgen #heightmap #terrain

Colors for #GodotEngine nodes and resources icons. (I've dug into the 'editor/icons' folder just to see that all the colors were defined in the 'editor_color_map.cpp' source file 😅). #GodotTips

Demonstration of noise composition for terrain landscape using the graph editor youtu.be/AbtGhl8XSaQ #procgen #gamedev #GodotEngine #terrain

Now, it's time to refactor my good old terrain generator module. I've started it 1.5 years ago (time flies !!). And given the work i've done with the graph editor framework, I could easily streamline complex terrain generation, including water distribution and more. #GodotEngine #procgen

The graph editor framework is done ! Applied to noise composition, it's the ideal tool to design terrain biomes. I've added custom node like the histogram to get an idea of the data distribution. The gradient color is purely decorative but somehow handy. #GodotEngine #procgen

Hopefully, last day of work on my generic graphic editor framework. Can't wait to actually use it for tooling and experimenting cool #procgen stuff. I've started with the heightmap generator, and it is very promising. Once it is clean enough, I'll release that framework as a #Godot plugin.

I'm considering starting a ko-fi or patreon account ('cause even if I'm not earning anything rn, i still have accountant bills, minimum social taxes, and additional costs related to a company). But what kind of content should I offer ? I'm already sharing most of my work at @thegodotbarn.com. 🧵

Resuming work after some days off. In fact, I've never stopped working even if i was on vacation in another country. There's always one hour or two to spare at the hotel before bedtime. But now, it's time to speed up a bit.

Next dev keywords : transform-aware image quilting and pyramid synthesis. This brings me back to early 2000, but it should be fun. Dunno if I'll code this in #gdscript, tho, as it requires some tricky parallel computing. #gamedev #procgen

There was a naughty bug in the code ! It's all fixed now. Enjoy :) #GodotEngine #bugfix #uiux #gamedev

Can't wait to implement data evaluation and preview in operator nodes. Again, everything is defined using resources. Of course, there's sub-scene for type edition/preview. But that's all. #GodotEngine #procgen #noise #graph

After the nice @enderprism.bsky.social take on Blender-Like value selector, here is my take on the subject. I've choose a very minimalistic approach. Min/max value, dragging using existing theme values. That's all. thegodotbarn.com/contribution... #GodotEngine #UIUX

In-game Curve Editor for #GodotEngine is now available. Check it out and don't hesitate to ask me for help in case you're struggling (which should not be the case). #UIUX thegodotbarn.com/contribution...

Grid Displaying Stylebox code is now available. #GodotEngine #UIUX thegodotbarn.com/contribution...

Custom `StyleBox` to handle value grid is in the submission queue of @thegodotbarn.com . It's not my best code AT ALL. But it does the work. Can't expect more for a single hour of code. The in-game curve editor is also in the submission queue and is waiting for peer-review. #GodotEngine #UIUX

My take on custom `StyleBox` displaying a grid, here shown in use in a curve editor. The value indicators are not ideally placed tho. But as I'll publish the code very soon, feel free to make it better ! #GodotEngine #uiux

Working on a `StyleBox` that will manned graduated backgrounds. I think this will be used in more than Control node in #GodotEngine. Of course, in my custom curve editor, but i have this feeling it could be useful somewhere else. Do you have any use case idea for that can of StyleBox ? #uiux

Today, made an in-game curve editor custom control for #GodotEngine. The curve is theme-able. The edition capabilities can be disabled (so one can choose to only give access to point edit but not the value/domain range or even tangents). Code soon be available at @thegodotbarn.com #UIUX

WE'RE SO EXCITED! We will be part of the #interfaceX26 festival that showcases games taking place in #fakeos ! The festival will start on the 27th, pin that in your calendar! Love on you! Wishlist here => store.steampowered.com/app/4255640/...

I need your help to reach the end of the month. Anything would be very much appreciated. You can also play NOKOMA on your phone and wishlist the game on Steam. Share and repost is also a way to help... Thank you! 💙 #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #kofi #support

In a few hours, I'll work on a custom #GodotEngine UI node that allows curve editing (for now, you can only do this in editor). But I'm thinking about setting "levels of control." The simplest allows basic control points edition, the next one allows editing tangents, etc. Any thoughts ? #uiux

Lots of new features: - Node tree from which you can directly drag'n'drop any kind of node - Custom node (here demonstrating constraint feature) - Multi-output operators Next: - Load/Save - Data Preview Everything here is generated based on user defined operators, types and nodes. #GodotEngine #uiux

We're back up, but still some hiccups.

That was a fun try. If background and gutter are easy to customize, per region special comment syntax coloring require more than 10 minutes of code investigation (and some extra work in SyntaxHighlighter/CodeHighlighter). Another time perhaps. #GodotEngine #uiux

In #GDScript, you can define code regions using the "#region <name>", "#endregion" special comment. You can also change the color of (all of) them. But why not being able to specify a different color for a specific region ? Time to dive in #GodotEngine codebase ! #uiux

Roadmap: - Add optional preview of output value for operator nodes - Add custom nodes and menus - Add load/save - Package all of this as a #GodotEngine add-on and release it.

Worked a lot today on the graph editor framework. Everything you see here, the types, operators, operands, colors, even the menus, are generated by resources. You'll be able to define your own operators, types, etc. I'll detail all the features later as I still have lot of works to do. #GodotEngine

Coding as fast as I can. The graph editor framework is a big chunk of features to code. I hope to finish this part soon as I really want to move on something less abstract and more visual. #GodotEngine #gamedev #solodev

After the steganography script I've made for #GodotEngine, I'm now working on a simple (i hope) framework/API in #GDScript to easily make operator based Graphic Editor. I've fell in love with the GraphEdit and GraphNode nodes and want to use them as devtools when appropriate. #gamedev #tooling

#Steganography using Images in #GodotEngine in #GDScript available at thegodotbarn.com/contribution... Using images as savegames (or other kind of data - cartridges for some fantasy console maybe ?) It fits for small images tho (up to 512x512). #gamedev

Just made a simple UI that allows storing/retrieving UTF-8 strings into/from an image. As it's in #gdscript, it's a bit slow when dealing with LARGE image (here, it's a 2880x1920 image courtesy of my dear friend Nessime). The core code will be soon be published as a snippet at @thegodotbarn.com .

I'm working on my next contribution for @thegodotbarn.com . I've been inspired by Pico-8 cartsdridges feature : storing game data into a picture. It's called steganography. Is anyone interested by a simple implementation of load/save data from/in picture in #gdscript ? #GodotEngine #gamedev

Added value histogram for layers + range selection. Next, 3D billboarded tooltip to show layers value for selected cells. I need to rework the histogram tho. I have the classic "empty bin" issue. I'm also considering selecting sub-color ramp based on selected range. #gamedev #procgen #GodotEngine

Still tooling. It's now possible to switch over the terrain data layers and even modify the gradients used for representing data values. The white area seen below on the bottom will be filled with a data histogram to help selecting a (meaningful) data range. #GodotEngine #gamedev #procgen

Polishing the Flora Cellular Automaton tool. Lots of work remaining. Can't wait to finish it, and maybe release it so people can "play" with it and compare their rules! 'Cause, creating a CA engine is something, but designing valid rules is something even harder! #GodotEngine #procgen #gamedev

Ever wanted to be able to edit Gradient resource in your #Godot application ? The following #gdscript / subscene recreates the minimal features available in the Editor version of the #GodotEngine editor. #uiux thegodotbarn.com/contribution...

Almost done the flora cellular automaton prototype. It lacks last features which are property layers visualizer and 3D tooltip. But you can already see that it's working ! The rules aren't good tho. They were made to test the editor, not to be run on a terrain ... #GodotEngine #procgen #gamedev

One tiny little step before being able to run the flora cellular automaton. Rules are compiled. #gdscript coded Virtual Machine is ready. Environment maps are computed. I just need to "launch" iteration of the automaton ! #GodotEngine #procgen #gamedev

Let's make a game! www.twitch.tv/heytibo #godotengine #gamedev #twitch

In case you want to make a custom rich tooltip in #GodotEngine, here's a short snippet. Hope it will help. That's what I'm using in my previous post. Don't hesitate to contact me for any question. #uiux #gamedev thegodotbarn.com/contribution...

In order to visualize a parameter spreading ratio, I've added a preview popup. Not sure about the colors. But it will sure help designing how a cell affect its surrounding in the Flora Cellular Automaton. #GodotEngine #procgen #uiux #gamedev

Let's do some perilous exercise by streaming my #gamedev screen on @thegodotbarn.com discord server 😅 It will certainly force me to code better and be more consistent ... maybe ... eventually.

Nothing really impressive. Just finished my flora cellular automaton rules graphic editor. Made the graph computation (in a nutshell, compiled the rules). Very next step is to run the cellular automaton on a terrain to populate it (this should be fun). #GodotEngine #procgen #gamedev

After playing with #GodotEngine GraphEdit nodes, i'm refraining myself to port #Blender geometry nodes into Godot ! I don't have the time for that ! No no no ... i know that part of Blender code, and it's really tempting (but challenging). Halp ! There's a game i need to finish first !

#GodotEngine graph editor nodes are so useful ! I think I'll use them for basic low-poly procedural mesh generation (... blender geometry nodes port to godot later ? 😅)

As i feared, It's a mess 😅 Plus, I need basic QoL features like copy/paste cluster of node. And certainly use GraphFrame. But most importantly, "Proxy Bus" nodes. #Godot #gamedev #procgen

The Flora Cellular Automaton Rules Editor is fully functional, even tho it lacks some QoL. Still working on Load/Save. It's a matter of minutes before I finish it. Next, FUN: compile the content of this graph to a script, a compute shader or other and apply to terrain. #Godot #gamedev #procgen
