in-depth thread: optimizing GDScript performance from ~83ms to ~9ms in a scene our tower defense game Rift Riff, made in Godot, with 1000 enemies. 🧵👇🏼 #gamedev #godotengine

Coming in the next module in Learn 2D Gamedev From Zero with Godot: interactive guides to learn tileset creation and tilemaps for level design hands-on, straight within Godot.

new version of godot minimal theme is out! it has redesigned tabs and a lot of small fixes ✨ github.com/passivestar/...

Setting up pixel art graphics is pretty easy in Godot but it's not always easy to know where to look. I compiled the most important settings to get started here: www.gdquest.com/library/pixe... Let me know if you have questions! Art by ‪@heytibo.bsky.social

New Godot tutorial Learn how to create a satisfying laser beam: www.gdquest.com/library/lase... I'd love your thoughts on the video's style! We're looking to find a good balance between making nice videos without too much fluff, for people who already have some experience to learn from fast.

Some of y'all are gonna think I've gone completely nuts, but I'm gonna talk about rounded corners and why circles suck. Most devs take it for granted that rounded corners are circles. Spoiler: They don't have to be! There is a much more aesthetically pleasing and cheaper alternative. 🧵👇 #gamedev

From an upcoming open source demo, asset, and video.

NEW 4-HOUR Godot 3D tutorial! For everyone who loved the Vampire Survivor tutorial, we made another beginner-friendly tut where you'll create a playful Survivor Arena FPS. LINK: youtu.be/NJJNWGD25rg

We're working on a new website and free resources for Godot...

Remember #BOTW In-Game QA notes tool? Soon you'll be able to use it in your own #godot #godotengine games with #SceneNotes! Here's a little preview of the reporting interface and in-editor viewer! #madewithgodot #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

All the tutorials about testing web exports in Godot are like "You need to install Python and create a local server" You don't! It's built into the editor. Once you've set up a web export, click this new icon in the play bar and click Run in Browser. It's a nice time-saver for jams.

New tut! Make a smooth 3D, third-person character controller in Godot 4: youtu.be/JlgZtOFMdfc

Godot Engine gamedev VFX practice using TysonTan and @gdquest.bsky.social artwork. Inspired by the soul orbs from Kirby and the Forgotten Land. It's amazing how a simple drop shadow adds depth to an object. I'll probably make them more transparent and improve the particle effects in the future.

GodotCon is getting close! Who's going? I'll host a 1-hour workshop: The Godot Cheatsheet. The idea is: I bring my quick and useful Godot tricks, you bring yours, we all share, and I collect it all in an open source Godot project with lots of useful snippets.

Godot tip: creating a 3D mesh with a transparent material can make it much easier to visualize character collisions compared to Godot's built-in debug drawing (lines are a bit too thin by default and that can't be controlled). All you need is to create a MeshInstance3D node that matches your shape.

godot has built-in gradients that you can directly use as light projectors instead of relying on IES profiles ✨

Working on a new open source template/demo for Godot. We'll also make a tutorial for it.

Wow, tetrapod, a contributor, just rewrote the force field shader in Godot 4, making it compatible with all rendering engines. Looking great! Porting of our open source library of 50+ Godot shaders for learning is in progress in https://github.com/gdquest-demos/godot-shaders
