Learning the basics of trigonometry 🙂 Using angle + distance to get position: x = cos(angle) * distance y = sin(angle) * distance Used this to build a simple orbit system: - Earth orbits the sun - Moon orbits the Earth #gamedev #Godot #shader

Game #3 of the 20 Games Challenge — Space Invaders clone 🙂 Added enemy attack system: - At fixed intervals, select the bottom invader from each column - Randomly pick one to fire - Game resets when the player is hit #gamedev #Godot

Started the Trigonometry section in my shader course 🙂 Trying different ways to animate in shaders: - sin() for back-and-forth motion - fract() for a one-way looping motion - used a curve texture to shape the motion #gamedev #Godot #shader

Game #3 of the 20 Games Challenge — Space Invaders clone 🙂 Added basic enemy movement: - Created an Invaders scene to manage the formation - Formation moves, reversing and stepping down at edges - Speed increases as enemies are destroyed #gamedev #Godot

Learning transition shaders in Godot 🙂 Made an iris-out effect and fixed the stretched circle Used dFdx/dFdy to adjust UV scaling, and mix() to keep it centered Still wrapping my head around it, but it’s starting to click 👀 #gamedev #Godot #shader

Pulled Ralsei (no hat) from a Deltarune gacha 🙂 #Deltarune

Learning sprite sheet animation with shaders in Godot 🙂 - Split a texture into frames - Controlled UVs to display each frame - Switched frames using a shader uniform Useful when working with UI (TextureRect), since there's no AnimatedSprite2D equivalent #gamedev #Godot #shader

Continuing the 20 Games Challenge 🙂 Worked on Game #3, my Space Invaders clone. Added: - Player shooting - Invaders can now be destroyed Next up: enemy movement #gamedev #Godot

Continuing the 20 Games Challenge 🙂 Started working on Game #3: a Space Invaders clone. - Reworked the player sprite from Game #2 - Created 3 types of invader sprites #gamedev #Godot

Learning about pseudo-random values in shaders 🙂 - Generated pseudo-random values - Animated them using TIME - Mixed the noise with the original color - Created pixelated random colors using grid-based UVs #gamedev #Godot #shader

Continuing my 3D shoot'em up project. Added: - Sound effects - Player movement boundaries Wrapped up the 3D shoot'em up section of my Udemy course. #gamedev #Godot

Learning shaders in Godot. Used the red channel as an index to map values to colors from a palette. Seems useful for dynamic color changes, but maybe overkill for simple variations. Also tried converting colors to grayscale. #gamedev #Godot #shader

Learning shaders in Godot. Tried making a simple fire effect 🔥 - Ellipse-based shape + falloff - Scrolling UV with noise texture - Layered colors for flame look Starting to see how scaling and shifting UV changes everything. #gamedev #Godot #shader

Continuing my 3D shoot'em up project. Worked on improving the scene feel: - Adjusted camera angle for better view - Added obstacles with random scale and rotation #gamedev #Godot

Learning dissolve shaders in Godot. Used noise to control the dissolve pattern, and smoothstep to make the transition feel smoother. Also combined it with a pixelation effect I learned earlier. #gamedev #Godot #shader

I compared two ways to pixelate in shaders 👇 UV-based → divide by count Pixel-based → divide by pixels Pixel-based keeps square blocks, while UV-based can stretch depending on aspect ratio. #gamedev #Godot #shader

Ranked 1st out of 35 entries in a beginner-friendly game jam! 🥇 Game Feel was ranked #1, which I’m really happy about. I’ve been trying to improve it. Thanks to everyone who played and rated it! Results: itch.io/jam/20gamesc... #gamedev #Godot

Continuing my 3D shoot'em up project. Added collision handling for: - Player lasers hitting meteors - Player colliding with meteors #gamedev #Godot

Learning shader basics in Godot. This time I focused on UV control. Some parts looked complex at first, but trying different UV coordinates and seeing what happens helped a lot. Now I understand better how each operation changes the final look. #gamedev #Godot #shader

Learning shaders in Godot. Built an outline shader by checking slightly shifted texture positions and subtracting the original shape to isolate the outline. Used TEXTURE_PIXEL_SIZE for pixel offsets. #gamedev #Godot #shader

Continuing my 3D shoot'em up project. Added: - Player laser shots - Incoming meteors No collision handling yet, but it's shaping up nicely. #gamedev #Godot

Learning shaders in Godot. This time I built a shield effect. - distance() for the base shape - smoothstep() for soft edges - pow() to shape the highlight Then added noise + vertex animation to give it a more dynamic feel. #gamedev #Godot #shader

Back to my Udemy Godot game dev course after a while. Started working on a 3D shoot'em up. Set up 3D objects, player movement, tilting when moving left/right, and a hovering animation. #gamedev #Godot

Learning shaders in Godot. This time I built a crosshair shader. Using step() and distance() to combine simple shapes and masks. It’s fun how complex shapes can be built from simple pieces. #gamedev #Godot #shader

Learning shaders in Godot. Switched from visual shaders to code shaders. Same results, but easier to reuse and share. UV.x, UV.y = horizontal, vertical UV.x + UV.y = diagonal gradient Used this with step to create a diagonal mask. #gamedev #Godot

Spent over 2 weeks on the 20 Games Challenge – Spring Jam 2026. Built two small games and combined them into one project. Curious how my sense of difficulty compares. If you try it, I’d love to hear your score and how it felt. Play here: kt-9-10.itch.io/up-collection #gamedev #Godot

Learning shader parameters in Godot. By turning values into parameters, you can control them from the inspector and scripts. Combine them with Tween to create animations. Feels like shaders are finally connected to game logic. #gamedev #Godot

Working on my Jetpack Joyride-style clone. Added: - Obstacle pattern base class - Score display Adjusted hit behavior: - Keep hitting until landing - Score continues until full stop (like Smash Bros. Home-Run Contest) Unexpected score boosts are fun. #gamedev #Godot

Working on my Jetpack Joyride-style clone. Added: - Static beam obstacle - Basic pattern (spawns beams at top / middle / bottom) - Spawning system from the Game scene Spent some time figuring out the spawning system, but it feels like a good foundation. #gamedev #Godot

Working on a Flappy Bird clone for the 20 Games Challenge game jam made me feel this is worth continuing. So I started a Jetpack Joyride-style clone. - Player sprites (inspired by Cave Story) - Hold to rise / release to fall - Death animation prototype #gamedev #Godot

Learning vertex shaders in Godot. Vertex → changes shape and position Add → results in movement Multiply → results in deformation Using time and sin, the value loops between -1 and 1. Applying this to the vertex creates effects like scaling and flipping. #gamedev #Godot

She’s playing my game 😄 Feels great to see someone play it. Play here: kt-9-10.itch.io/flap-up #gamedev #Godot

Added some visual feedback to my Flappy Bird-style game. - Score pop - High score animation - Camera shake - Jump particles Still experimenting, but it already feels better. Play here: kt-9-10.itch.io/flap-up #gamedev #Godot

Continuing my Flappy Bird-style project. Added parallax background: - Mountains (front/back) - Clouds Also improved visibility: - Player outline - Pipes changed from green to red Play here: kt-9-10.itch.io/flap-up #gamedev #Godot

Continuing my Flappy Bird-style project. Added: - Score & high score - Difficulty scaling - Control instructions Now playable in your browser: kt-9-10.itch.io/flap-up Next: sound effects #gamedev #Godot

Learning textures in Godot shaders. - Texture2D reads color - OneMinus flips values (1 - x) - Mix blends A/B with a weight Using noise + step as a mask, I can switch between original texture and gradient per pixel. Feels like a dissolve / transformation effect. #gamedev #Godot

Joined the 20 Games Challenge on itch.io. Since it's my first game jam, I'm starting with a Flappy Bird clone. Implemented so far: - Player controls - Pipe spawning - Basic game loop - Placeholder sprites Next up: - Score display #gamedev #Godot

YOU CAN SELECT LINES BY CLICKING THEIR NUMBER?? #Godot #WhyDidNoOneTellMe

I shared my Godot shader learning on X and got more response than I expected. Maybe shaders are something a lot of people want to learn. #gamedev #Godot

Learning shaders in Godot. Using time to restore the blue channel. With multiply: All pixels reach their original blue at the same time. Without multiply: Pixels with lower blue values restore faster. #gamedev #Godot
