In The Labyrinth of Time, entering the Ziggurat without a lantern is supposed to show a black screen. However, the developers put in the wrong filename for the black screen, so it fails to render, showing a black screen instead

In the sense that this is an official build of Godot with no source modifications, yes!

I do, however, abuse some engine behaviors to be able to hook a script to the project manager and do this :) Still in GDScript, and fully hackable like the editor itself after that point!

A screenshot of two application windows. In the background there is a Windows Terminal window with a sole console tab open. In that tab there are startup logs for the official stable release of Godot 4.5.1. There is an extra line afterwards, which reads "PM Addons Hook is READY!". In the foreground there is the Godot editor project manager window in its default, empty state. Below the usual UI there is a label that reads "YOU HAVE BEEN HACKED!" in bold letters.

So here's the thing...

This is the psychopath kind of behavior. Just smashing someone bloody while yelling "Why. Don't. You. Love. Me." to punctuate every hit.

A night time photo of a far view from some higher ground. An illuminated road bends in the bottom part of the screen. The distant view is split into two halves. On the left, a skyline of some town is visible, lighting the night air. On the right, there is intense darkness with only outlines of clouds showing through.

Lack of light pollution looks so ominous

A night time photo of some kiosk on a cobbled sidewalk. The kiosk is glowing with pink and bluish white neon light, which radiates in cold damp air. The light bounces of a small crooked round garbage bin standing next to the kiosk. Warm yellow luminescence reflects from a wall of a building in the background.

Belgrade cyberpunk.

You are making posters of this, right?!

Thank you!

The killer feature of my time tracker was the splits for where you'd spent more time (2d view, 3d view, scripts). But that's also what I haven't fixed for 4.x, since some editors can now be detached and you can't just rely on the active main view.

That's what made me stop while scrolling! :D

I haven't really fixed it for 4.x, but here's an oldie from yours truly...

Ah, naturally, just what you'd do on X. Well, I choose to hate both the player and the game.

Not a fan of oPiNiOnS?!

But while it's incredibly satisfying to have a system figured out and just copy it from project to project, ofttimes it's just workarounds for things in the engine which are hard to work with or that it does plain wrong.

And that's sad.

With more projects under my belt, my views on what should be provided by the engine out of the box change. Both games and apps in 2025 require a lot of baseline user features to be acceptable — in terms of preferences and accessibility alike.

Community projects can help, as can your own snippets.

I can think of a way to achieve that with new custom loggers in 4.5. But personally, I'd rather leverage the editor where I can, and the output log is already there and is already handling everything.

If this setup is too annoying, though, I think the pad can simply be moved to the output panel.

Yeah, I don't really understand what value they are adding at this point, other than being a token "see, we are not a monopoly" project for Google.

Well, the MDN knowledge base is still extremely useful... but they are also polluting it with LLM nonsense these days.

Puts Tibo's fitness/exercise posting into whole other light, doesn't it? :D

But if it's not what you envision, that's fine. This little game is perfectly playable! Just a bit of mental friction that I have. Might be solvable by other means too, like adjustments to the forward animation before letting go.

So I'm thinking doing a little pull back before the hand is automatically flung forward and the ball is released could make the cutoff point clearer for the wind-up. Otherwise it's a bit like reaching for a wet piece of soap, if that makes sense 😅

Didn't mean to suggest a pivot :) I just find it hard to judge when to let go of the click because the throw animation is quickly reaching its end and then the ball is automatically released. I feel like I don't know if it's about to be released or not due to it being one forward motion.

Lovely!

I'm a bit perplexed by the wind-up mechanic. You can get used to it pretty quickly, but could I interest you in a little animation pulling the hand back to give visual feedback on the potential strength of the throw? 🤔

Otto's Basketball Game's v0.9 is now playable on Itchio! Help me get this to a v1.0 by giving it a try and leaving a comment here on Bsky (reply or dm) or on Itch!

I made hours' worth of last minute changes, so hopefully I didn't totally break it :--)

#gamedev

There is no code completion or useful hotkeys. But it's just for small tests, so I don't mind. Just my little virtual EditorScript 🥰

🪛 I use EditorScripts all the time to test if I understand inner workings of #Godot correctly. With an external code editor it's a bit annoying to run them. Besides, I tend to create and delete them constantly to keep project filesystem tidy.

So I made a little built-in pad for myself:

Color Palette Pro — A Synthesizer for Color Palettes Generate customizable color palettes in advanced color spaces that can be easily shared, downloaded, or exported.

Such a useful (and fun) color palette tool.

I have been experimenting for a while:

I'm at the point in my life where I can no longer remember what it's like not to be a doomer.

Also, I'm a forever advocate for m-dashes, but that wordsoup is sussy as fuck.

There was also a good thread recently about temp audio and how using placeholder music can turn into a bane of audio production, as listening over and over to it people start to like it, become accustomed to it and make it hard for a composer to replace with a new, final, bespoke piece.
