Some thoughts on #gamedev enemy behavior based on drives (both specific to the mob and local to the scene)

Doing some godot 2d dev (game snapshots soon).
Want to add a hazard to my tilemap(layer).
Tilemaps define static bodies, but these are top-down fields of nettles (damaging, slowing, but traversable).
Solution: The player's hurtbox is already an Area; allow hitboxes to be, like, whatever, maaan.
🤪

you are absolutely right. Sorry for the noise!

I'd had the plugin enabled but the docs were showing up blank -- A quick skim of the files showed it didn't have `##` docs at the top of the file (, since they were like 5 lines down), & I posted before doing a deeper dive.
It works now, anyway

Weird.

ok ok last one, with a debouncer in place:
(ahh, much better. Ignore the horrible flashes; v4.5.dev4 #godot debug on osx seems to have taken a stability dive!)

Actually, while I'm on the subject, also happy to contribute some godot docs and icons to the nodes. I'll just copy over what you have in the readme as header comments, it's a nice QoL fix :)

... there is no OnDragStart on the child, only on the container.
I want to make a DragReceiver under each card that knows about a monitored Draggable, and handles the dragging lifecycle so you can subscribe to drags events on a specific draggable entity (vs on the droppable zone).
SGTY?

#1 is normal, it just works, you are a golden god.
#2 has the tween, but I wait for it to stop and it copies over fine.
(skip #3)
#4 has the tween, I drag it, and I _don't_ wait for it to stop; it does _not_ copy over fine but teleports everywhere).

I'd like to cancel the tween OnDragStart but...

I am making a cardgame; I have **Cards** (fixed-size generic `Controls`) and more flexible **Zones** (`InterpolatedContainer`s <3 <3 <3).
I want to animate the cards when they're hovered, when they're not appropriate for the current action etc. So they'll have active tweens while being dragged.

Hey @don-tnowe.bsky.social !
Big fan of github.com/don-tnowe/go... from a little bit of playing with it.
I had a little usecase I'm solving locally but might want to contribute upstream, lmk what you think:

Also, I'll be spending the next week on a (personal) gamejam game, to be announced here.
A deckbuilder RPG.
See you all soon!

v0.0.2 & 1 week break Welcome to the bones of a new region! With blackjack and hookers! I always wanted two areas in the initial release. Given that you all get to see the prerelease releases, you get to watch me inch towa...

👻BGM Pack for TTRPG has been released.

This is a horror ambient and background music pack for Call of Cthulhu!

#ttrpg #Gamedev #BGM #CallOfCthulhu #horror #Ambient

For neon I can cheat. Carve each sign into the parts of the neon sign that would activate in turn and build the animation in #godot.
But _in general_ animated scene elements need their own #blender file and get built in #godot.
I like blender's navigation and placement tools more.
FML.

Any experienced #gamedev know the answer?
Obviously everything in this scene should be animated -- It's all neon signs, right?
#godot creates 1 toplevel `AnimationPlayer` for all animations in the blendfile. Since all of the neon animates at once, that's not what I want.

#NODED neon street is coming together.
I'm still figuring out #godot and #blender workflow (complaints within!). This is going to be a level Really Soon Now. The main thing stopping me is 1) ability and 2) animations.

oh my god kill me. i ended up doing a brand new separate face rig bc the main auto-rig skinning algo was fucking up his face(eyelids in particular) and couldn't figure out why. tried it again just now and turns out it was because dude's balls were fucked up

#blender #b3d #gamedev #3dart #art #balls

interestingly, the #noded is _not_ that posterized naturally. It's an artifact of the rtt through gif. Still, it looks really nice, maybe I should figure out how to keep it!

Friday dump: #noded is finally getting a bid moodier!
(this is before all of the neon lights and grime shaders go on -- the wharves are not _that_ squeaky clean!)
#godot #gamedev

The #materialmaker looks like what it is:
* I made a shingle with a gradient
* made a row of 3 shingles
* duplicated them with an offset for the next row
* tiled that
* +(albedo, normal, depth)

There's a lot more one could do that I don't need yet.
Hope it helps some other #indie #gamedev !

Plan now is #materialmaker for textures round-tripped through #blender into #godot.

I needed shingles and the default brick doesn't work for that; couldn't find any other examples that fit my exclusive "placeholder gothic" style

Today I added another tool to the chain.

Build something much simpler than your dream game to learn the skills. Then get better with another mini game.
And again, and again, and part of your dream game, and again, and another part, and again...

Start with tic tac toe.
No: start with a square that chases the player's mouse.

You got this!

Personal note on my #indie #gamedev journey:
I feel like I'm also leaving the tutorial. I've been coy about linking to the itch page, thinking "it's not ready".
Frankly, it's still not ready!
But nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Try it; let me know what you think!

Thank you so much!

Moving on from the tutorial; questions. And with that, I think we're Done Enough with the tutorial area. I've heard a lot of feedback about it so there were a lot of affordances that would help. I've added a bunch; no doubt there could stil...
