Godot

TL;DR from the official Mastodon:

Have a TL;DR as well:

• major render pipeline optimization
• improvements in the animation area
• a quality of life change for C# users
• common Nvdia issue solved
• Node & OS documentations overhauled

Hi everybody! What you see behind me in the background of this video is the result of several algorithms commonly used in creating shader effects. Specifically, it involves the Voronoi diagram, a pseudorandom vector generator, and a custom color palette. If you like this effect and would like to use it in your Godot game, keep watching. I will demonstrate and explain how to create it from scratch.

Hey folks, I just released my fake OS project after around 2.5 months of working on it. Any feedback is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Is there something like a node ID which is specific to that node and will be the same no matter how often I execute the game? That would be super useful for saving and loading games.

Hello everybody! In this video, I would like to demonstrate how we can create custom nodes for the visual shader editor in Godot 4. It's a very useful functionality because, despite being a powerful tool, the visual shader editor contains only a finite number of built-in nodes. Sometimes, we'd like to add more nodes that we want to use frequently. It's easy, and I'll show you how to do it right away.

This repository contains a basic project setup along with CI/CD. By default it will build for windows, linux and the web and upload their artifacts, along with deploying a build to GitHub Pages.

Not mine, but this sounds really useful for anyone looking for easy builds and deployment.

TLDW: To have g, r, and s blender hot keys in godot 4.2 click Editor --> Editor settings --> search for "begin" --> use the Plus symbol to set "Begin Rotate Transform" hot key to r, then "Begin Scale Transform" to s, and "Begin Translate Transform" to g. My favorite thing not mentioned in the video is that constraining also works. So you can press r then x and rotate in the x axis or g shift y and translate on the x and z axis.

Hi everybody! It is January 2024, I wish everyone a happy new year, and I'm back with new videos from the world of Godot, shaders, and I'm also planning to record something about modeling in Blender. Anyways, the first video of this year is dedicated to a shader that can be used for interesting post-processing effects and uses the Sobel operator along with other algorithms, such as Gaussian blur. Let's dive into it.

I have this problem that every time I type this character ' the entire engine doesn't let me type any more. The entire keyboard stops working, and even shortcuts stop working. The mouse still works fine. I have to reloasd the project to fix this. Has anyone else had this issue before? (Running Debian 12)

For the unaware, Road to Vostok is one of the most popular games that switched from Unity to Godot. The dev made many devlogs detailing his journey of porting everything and his experience with the engine. Aside from his porting journey, it's also one of the very few Godot games going for a realistic high-fidelity artstyle. Now, the first demo of the game rebuilt in Godot is out.

I gave it a shot and it's quite good. Performance is really good and everything seems to be working just fine. Graphics aren't AAA levels which is expected, but it looks fine. The lighting being a bit flat makes me wonder if the dev isn't using global illumination.

Either way, a pretty nice milestone for Godot to prove you can transition from Unity without major issues!

Cool interactive tutorial gdquest made to get people started with the engine

Hello there! Originally, I didn't want to record anything else in this year because Christmas is just around the corner, which is a good opportunity to take a break from work. However, I noticed that my channel had 49 videos, and it would be nice to round that number up to 50 before the end of the year. In addition, we have just reached 1000 subscribers, which is a great milestone, and I am very grateful to everyone who made this possible. So, a new video is here, and this time, it will be about saving and restoring the state of our game in Godot 4.

Having the ability to rebind controls in a game is a must. It can be simply a matter of player preference, but sometimes it can be essential in letting some people play a game. For example, some keyboard don't have arrow keys, which many games require, but most importantly it is an accessibility feature that lets some people with disabilities to play the game at all.

So, as my first Godot Tutorial, I decided to showcase my take on a smart rebind menu. All the game actions are divided in sets: if two actions are in the same set, it stops them from having the same key, while it allows it otherwise. This can be useful especially for minigames, but also just to divide the actions for gameplay and the one used to navigate menus.

This is also my first post on Lemmy! I hope it won't be the last!
