Hey folks! :wave:

Just released a new long-form conversation with VFX Artist Paulina who currently works at Tuatara.
Watch here: youtu.be/XubGMwHNDns #vfx #gamedev #indiedev #realtimevfx #podcast #gamesindustry

Hope you will enjoy this one!

Thanks to the great work of a contributor, the long-requested Lookahead functionality is now available for 2D scenes.

Another key change is a refactor of Framed Follow 2D, which should make it a lot more reliable.

3D counterparts of both are in the works for a future release.

#GodotEngine

There’s the docs at least

docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tu...

Other than that I would recommend looking through more complex plugin code like Dialogic for instance and see how they organised that code. Really depends though on what type of plug-in you want to create.

I wish you a quick recovery 🙌🏻🍀

The details 👌🏻 great lighting

Use your train to smash bandits into a cliff in the updated Fogpiercer demo Your train is your deck in Fogpiercer, with an updated demo available in Steam Next Fest this is a turn-based strategy game worth your time.

Yeah that works 👍🏻

I would expect the same. So I would implement a cutoff after a specific amount of iterations.

Wow Tup that is amazing 🤩 congrats on the release! 🙌🏻

I opened a PR for Godot to add a Trail2D node. github.com/godotengine/...

weapon gameplay + fx prototype wip, knockback plus ground damage over time. still some visual clarity issues with targets in the aoe to fix, but I like the colors. rendered with a custom decal shader to give it a volume/parallax effect #godot #gamedev

Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers.

If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of:

fund.godotengine.org

Godot's GitHub has increasingly many pull requests generated by LLMs and it's a MASSIVE time waster for reviewers – especially if people don't disclose it. Changes often make no sense, descriptions are extremely verbose, users don't understand their own changes… It's a total shitshow. #godotengine

Happy Birthday 🎉🙌🏻

Sure :)

Might be best asked on the Godot Contributor RocketChat 🤔

I was asked about Project Genie and wrote the response kind of tired so if you want to hear my unfiltered and slightly less-than-diplomatic answer about AI it's here

A reminder: this is an Irishman with valid papers speaking about how he's being held in US concentration camps. If you don't have to go to the US, do not go to the US. "GDC" is not "have to go". One denial at the border is going to mark you for life, and that's the best of the bad outcomes.

Yeah okay understandable 😅 I thought you were using the live deploy anyways

Graph showing the relative share of game engines used in Global Game Jam from 2018 to 2026. It mainly shows a relative decrease of the Unity share from nearly 80% to 57%, while Godot grew from 1.4% to over 25%. There's a notable inflexion point in the year-on-year growth from Godot in 2024.

The 2026 Global Game Jam #GGJ26 was last weekend, so let's take a look at their historical data for engine usage.

📈 @godotengine.org is having a good run!

#Godot is now firmly established as the #2 engine in game jams (correlated by #GMTKJam data), rapidly closing the gap with #Unity.
