spit shining TascotMaker2 tonight, it's going well but I'm running out of spit

the feeling of every muscle on your bones liquifying when your new save/load loop finally works... 😏 someone please help me i can't move my bones anymore oh my god

I made a minimal repo of my Seamless Fullscreen Clickthrough setup, using my chromakey window style technique! github.com/Harpeaux/Chr... works in #Godot 4.5+ Mono! Have fun!

Unfortunately Tascots is waaay too far along to migrate to 4+ now... I might try some time in the far future but for now I am sadly stuck in the prehistoric world of 3.2.1... 🦖

Is there a way to get full-screen clickthrough transparency without having to use mouse_passthrough_polygon in #Godot 4? Yes! Through the magic of Window's chromakey styling and a color shader that bumps any pure black pixels out of the chromakey's range, we can do exactly that!

Proud of your Tascot? Then be sure to sign your work! (or don't that's fine I'm not mad) #tascots #godot

Been putting in a little more work on my TwitchIRC plugin! 1.1 now (actually, correctly) parses Twitch's USERNOTICE events! (raids, charity, subs, gifts, etc) I also made some funcs to push your own fake messages and events (either for testing or gameplay purposes) github.com/Harpeaux/Twi...

Lots of menu-makin' lately... What..? That's most of the game? Who the HELL made that decision!?

Want to get a more customized insight into your Tascot's mood? Now you'll be able to add custom ID photos for each of them! You can even rename, add a custom icon, and write a custom description for each of their needs bars! #tascots #godot

eheheheh Tascot Beta by @grae.software

I've been into animation since I was 10, starting with Macromedia Flash 5. Since then I primarily use Storyboard pro, which isn't specifically suited for the job, but since I've been using it for work for almost 10 years my muscle memory is locked in lmao

RIP to a legend, you were ruined the instant adobe aquired you 🫡

3D Fanart of @grae.software's Button! I like to think she and Click would be friends 🥹

Button's just trying to help ok 🐭

Button's having a good time watching @vinny.vinesauce.com tonight

Put my lil TwitchIRC godot addon to the test last night with a quick proof-of-concept! Want your Tascot to read random messages? Specific user's messages? bits/subs/events? We gotchu babey 💯 #tascots #godot

my only notes to people under 30: your 30s aren't for ditching fandom, they're for re-evaluating all the "cringe" stuff you liked as a teenager through the lens of someone who can appreciate it fully, going, "that owned, actually," and becoming even more unhinged about it. please look forward to it.

She's infiltrating the internet multiverse... Too Powerful... (Thank you so much this is so cool!!!!)

Okay one more, ya'llve been good. Refined the menus a bit more and made changing emotions into a permanent testing menu. Much easier to test emotion-related behaviors now!

Custom Greetings are a good way to make your Tascot more personable! Though if they're in a bad mood they not be so nice... #tascots #godot

Lots of new text features and the ability to write custom greeting dialog being added! Selectable fonts! Uploadable custom fonts! Change the color and outline color of your font! Write custom greeting dialog! Tag it to emotions! (Or turn it off entirely!) The power is yours, babey #tascots #godot

Just a small project I said, simple in scope I said

Happy Holidays, I'm releasing my very small TwitchIRC addon for #Godot 3 and 4. It reads chat messages with no login and can even post to chatrooms if you have a valid oauth token. It all runs in a small, simple single script. Enjoy :) github.com/Harpeaux/Twi...

Anyway, popping in some new batteries after a much needed winter break. Ready to kick development back into high-gear! #tascots #godot

Rolling into 2026, I'd like to say a hearty THANK YOU! to the over 100 incredible people out there that have backed Tascots' development so far. You have made working on this little project each week an absolute joy.

Watching twitch in the godot editor, as #godot intended (this was a little side project to get twitch integration set up for future Tascots features 👽)

More TestLab features! This time for the Sit and Eat add-ons. I didn't demonstrate it here, but Eat also has a subsetting for where the food sits when being eaten! #tascots #godot

Oh man it's fun to finally get to test these new features. Certain animations have sub-settings, like where exactly an item sits when your Tascot holds one!

After a million years of refactoring, I can finally show cool stuff again, like the ability to change your Tascot's hitbox to match their sprites more accurately! #tascots #godot

november kinda feels like this

Button told me I had to draw her at this angle for some reason

finally a normal software license that definitely holds up really well

"nobody told me you have to make the whole thing" except it's "nobody told me you have to put it all back together after breaking it for a refactor"

Since I don't have anything visually interesting, I figured I'd talk about the particulars of the latest overhaul of the Tascot's behavior scripting, and the setup I created to handle motives and the multiple steps their programming has to take to achieve their goals! #godot #tascots 🧵

Recently completed a complete overhaul of the behavior trees to make them more modular! Tascots now string different actions together to accomplish a goal. e.g. why sit on the ground if there's a chair nearby? #godot #tascots

I should be working on the meatier stuff, but adding fun little conveniences to TascotMaker2 is more fun. Like the editor showing you how the system uses fallback sprites in realtime! #godot #tascots

Recently added some additional flexibility to the DialogMaker's Advanced Mode. Now playtesting your dialogue's timing and pronunciation is even easier! #tascots #godot

Some nice progress on the sprite Import Menu, which now has enough functionality to easily clip out individual sprites from spritesheets! #tascots #godot

I'm deep in the mines and have nothing fun to show for a little while so indulge me as I repost some of my teaser greatest hits 🛸

In TascotMaker2, CUSTOM animation states have been expanded to have an INTRO, BODY, and OUTRO animation! You can define how many times the middle/body animation loops, or let it loop indefinitely until uploaded audio completes! #tascots #godot
