The same road you know and love from the last post, now in HD! (ie me testing with more realistic textures for once, and noting down lots of areas to eliminate repeating and stretching... but, not half bad to begin with, even with the intersection??) #godot #godotengine #road #gamedev

Procedural intersection coming along. In this scenario, showing off how you can turn a forked exit into an add lane exit. Obviously, would need another type of UV/mesh generator longer term for this use case, but it's already super cool having it interactive like this. #godot #addon #procgen

And so begins the journey of assigning correct UV for this general purpose intersection (ie me doing trial and error instead of actually trying to think too hard to do it correctly) #godot #roads

New month, who devlog? Highlights include some art style test updates from Wheel Steal, as well as a summary of in-progress features for the Road Generator by the community. www.patreon.com/posts/novemb...

I am drunk on power after realizing Godot lets you embed textures in RichTextLabels, and well... ViewportTextures are textures. 🤯 #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

You think my lock's company would sponsor a replacement if I shared in social media how the thief gave up 3/4th of the way cutting through and went for the cable lock on the bike next to mine instead?

Evolution of game difficulty: As games moved away from coin-based arcades who profited from restarts and into player homes, the financial incentive became to reach a wider range of difficulty, overall easier. Rating from GameFAQs, study by TheEconomist. #gamedev #gaming #retrogaming #arcadegames

Just saw that the #godot Road Generator passed 800 stars on github right after the v0.8.0 update... I guess should hurry up with v0.9.0 to hit 900 then! A big 💙 to the ever-growing list of contributors (and supporters) github.com/TheDuckCow/g...

"Even a broken clock is right twice a day". Am I making political commentary? Nope - just noticed my profile's banner image is back in season, maybe I'll actually update sometime this year!

The October #devlog is out - learn more about the recent #godot road generator release (incl. Terrain3D flattening and underside geo) + insights on procedural intersections now in progress. Finally, check out some recent art style updates! www.patreon.com/posts/octobe...

That's one small step for [mesh], one giant leap for [road]. Procedural intersections are officially in progress, major kudos to Picorims for the work thus far on this feature! #godot #procgen #gamedev Details, if you are curious to follow along: github.com/TheDuckCow/g...

Blender 5.0 has gone to beta phase! Every day there will be a new build. Please download it frequently and test everything. I can fix issues, but only if I know about them. In Blender, go to Help → Report a Bug. Thanks! 😻 builder.blender.org/download/dai... #b3d #blender3d #development #devfund

"The first man put at the helm will be a good one. No body knows what sort may come afterwards. The Executive will be always increasing here, as elsewhere, till it ends in a Monarchy" -B Franklin Great history insights, interesting point on how primaries used to run www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5wQ...

Hey all ye #godot Road Generator addon users - if you see this and you use the addon, please drop a reply with the version of Godot you're using (or join the poll in the community #coding channel itself to vote there).

Another one bites the dust, this one has really hampered the ability to make procedural placements along roads. No longer! #godot road generator, some testing tomorrow before merging and finally cutting the next release. github.com/TheDuckCow/g...

Officially at the stage of tutorial-driven-development for QoL improvements. Meaning, as I check how tutorial-worthy the current code is, I find and stamp out the awkward steps. Just here, a tweak to make it much easier to make bridge sections on the fly #godot #road #bridges

Dang this took me awhile, but was an important issue to fix before the official release of the Terrain3D support for the #godot Road Generator addon. To be merged shortly: github.com/TheDuckCow/g...

This is a pretty wild graph. Currently watching through Fads' latest video, who points out it's a pretty global situation www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9my...

Hello Wheelers! Next #devlog is up - did you hear about our guest speaker from Criterion Games and new #godot Road Generator features? If not, stop by for a quick read - and remember to support our open source project if you can by becoming a member or lending a hand www.patreon.com/posts/septem...

You know, it's been quite a while since I've posted a tutorial - got this one ready just in time for you all

Look at that, the Godot Road Generator was just featured in a "10 ESSENTIAL addons for Godot 4" video by @mreliptik.bsky.social! Just barely too soon to tease Terrain3D sync and other recent updates, but still - super appreciate the mention (at the start no less) www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVvI...

Final result: Roads can now have UV'd undersides, useful for bridges. Fully interpolates between individual RoadPoints, including to an "off" mode, but defaults to parents so you can assign for the parent road container or overall system. Merged into dev from github.com/TheDuckCow/g...

Also seeing this now in practice, I'm quickly converted #godot #gdscript It feels messy imo without the dashed rows, and helps accomplish a same visual clue in external editors where collapsing using the region keyword doesn't work.

Working on seamless UV mapping for for the new manifold thickness feature a community member recently worked on. Super handy being able to tweak in the viewport and live edit the code without restarting the scene/editor. Also just now saw I need to flip the direction on the reverse wall ha whoops

The silliest bug that makes me chuckle each time: I can pick up calls on my browser thanks to my carrier. But the ringing sound ... is just a background media player I guess? So pressing pause (aka resume my system music player after a call) then "plays" the ringer again till I press pause

Welcome to Knitty City!

Godot is pretty great, but it's missing a lot of features that you'll be waiting for. Fortunately, Godot is also built for extensibility and folks have stepped in to make the engine work. I've been whittling on my chibi-style 3D game for about 8 months now and here's a list of plugins I love.

After my last jam, decided I wanted to work on a reusable #godot template to save more time. I came across this template which hits a lot of my bullet points, though still might go my own way. Really want something pared down for web jams. github.com/TinyTakinTel...

Finally took the time to write the full documentation for this tool, as well as a bunch of QoL features. There's also a few more example scenes, complete with text explanations of what it can do, go check it out! #godotengine #ui #addon

New #devlog is out! Similar to the last month, a lot of updates to share around the #godot Road Generator Addon - including the now-merged Terrain3D integration. Free for anyone to view: www.patreon.com/posts/august...

Starting next week (hopefully) I'll be streaming on the main Godot YouTube channel talking about what we have been doing and what we plan to do on the future. If there is any questions you would like to ask, please reply or send me a DM!

So far #SIGGRAPH has been a blast! And Blender got a niiiice booth this year, logo top right peaks out when you enter the exhibit hall too. Will share insights later as I've got 'em

Here's what I've been up to. I know simulator games are generally seen as "boring", but games such as Bus Driver or ETS2 are incredibly calming for me, so I figured I'd work a bit on my own. #godot #screenshotsaturday #madewithgodot youtu.be/-WvPu1IXn8c?...

Pretty cool I guess - unfortunately I cannot break my habit of connecting "f" to frame selected. The flick direction chained tip is pretty slick tho.

I may not have submitted much, but it was something - and a tally in favor of #godot! I'll share a slightly cleaned up version of it once ratings end.

GMTK Game Jam 2025 just surpassed the 2024 jam for participants, making it the biggest GMTK Game Jam ever, and the biggest game jam in itch․io's history! itch.io/jam/gmtk-2025

What good are roads without a world to rest upon? Great updates from @theduckcow.com under the guidance of TokisanGames (maker of the #godot Terrain3D plugin) to create this dual-plugin integration. Want to test it out? Comment on GitHub if you've got any feedback! github.com/TheDuckCow/g...

You know how Colbert's show was being cancelled for "financial reasons"? It's all to do with this Paramount merger *explicitly* trying to turn eg CBS into explicit propaganda - I too did not hear about Larry Ellison quietly becoming 2nd richest man alive. Paywallwf link: slate.com/technology/2...

Now how's *this* for nice and smooth update for this #godot #plugin system combining #roads and #terrain Still need to change it so it only commits a single operation after transforming the road, so won't be as dynamic as pictured here. But still, should feel pretty slick and responsive.

After a hiatus, finally got road-terrain cookin. This is an improved WIP integration between the #godot Road Generator and #Terrain3D - wild it takes a mere 200 lines of code to connect these two plugins together. Extra margin/smoothing options in progress. Redo/undo ...we'll see 😅

Just now ages realized ages later, I must have uploaded the gif using the "image" button. They really aught to merge all three and just handle it by extension Anyhow, I present more visually this time: Alignment options in the #godot Road Generator! Find it in the asset library.

In a matter of days, ICE has gone from unannounced residential operations to full-scale militarized raids. ICE’s latest show of force should be a warning to every person in every state: “we can come for you anytime, anywhere, and there is nothing your elected officials can do to stop us.”

Trump’s White House is demanding I apologize for saying that ICE is acting like a force of terror. But they are. They’re kidnapping innocent people, deporting them with no due process, and have zero accountability. The White House needs to apologize to the American people.

This is how I learned the bill passed. An email from a government agency address so-far only ever used for transactional purposes, with a "clever" reframing of the massive tax cuts to the richest as though to all, of course with no mention to all medical / food / other services slashed + debt added.
