That's great that this is now possible! I didn't know this trick (I come from a dark age where Ysort was a node and it didn't work recursively like now). Thanks for sharing this :)

Or you can mix and match techniques and only merge some sprites together.

In Godot, if a character is made up of lots of sprites, you can either use a CanvasGroup node (simple solution) or render it to a sub-viewport texture (more complex solution) to merge all the small sprites into a single image. Then you have only 1 image being y-sorted for the entire character.

Actually the broth they give you with those might be fish-based. In Nara I went to a noodle restaurant where they gave just soy sauce but depending on the place it might be mixed with bonito flakes.

It's difficult outside of the big touristic cities because you kinda have to know what dishes are traditionally vegan - few - if you care about the details actually even their vegetable broths have like 0.1% bacon extract or milk protein.

Brothless noodles are usually a bet (zaru-soba, zaru-udon)

If you like ice cream that is*

Can't you fit me in your luggage too? And Andre?!

Enjoy!

It's gonna be real hot so in Kyoto, I recommend checking Premarché Gelateria, they used to make a range of unique vegan ice creams, like directly from brown rice or other creative bases.

It's near Nishiki Market in the center.

Similarly it can greatly inflate the volume of code produced by devs, which doesn't get reviewed carefully - or gets reviewed by AI, etc. Where we really need to reduce code complexity and number of code lines overall. It tends to foster the opposite!

Coming in the next module in Learn 2D Gamedev From Zero with Godot: interactive guides to learn tileset creation and tilemaps for level design hands-on, straight within Godot.

new version of godot minimal theme is out! it has redesigned tabs and a lot of small fixes ✨

Do you already know what you'll do next? I hope you find something rewarding.

I don't have much of a "network" but if you need a recommendation, reach out anytime.

Setting up pixel art graphics is pretty easy in Godot but it's not always easy to know where to look.

I compiled the most important settings to get started here: www.gdquest.com/library/pixe...

Let me know if you have questions!

It was a test of a 60 second video that was too fast for lots of people, and there were many requests to remake it. I had given my word a long time ago I'd remake it someday. Now it introduces raycasts and is a more cohesive little lesson.

I'd love your thoughts on the video's style! We're looking to find a good balance between making nice videos without too much fluff, for people who already have some experience to learn from fast.

A picture showing two diagrams of rounded corners, one using a circular equation and the other using a parabolic equation.

Some of y'all are gonna think I've gone completely nuts, but I'm gonna talk about rounded corners and why circles suck.

Most devs take it for granted that rounded corners are circles. Spoiler: They don't have to be!

There is a much more aesthetically pleasing and cheaper alternative. 🧵👇

Thanks Mike! I hope you're doing well.

I expect 3D tuts, even if there's demand, to get less viewers/learners than 2D ones. But there's surely a need and desire for more 3D so, we tried to deliver something.

NEW 4-HOUR Godot 3D tutorial!

For everyone who loved the Vampire Survivor tutorial, we made another beginner-friendly tut where you'll create a playful Survivor Arena FPS.

We're working on a new website and free resources for Godot...

Remember #BOTW In-Game QA notes tool? Soon you'll be able to use it in your own #godot #godotengine games with #SceneNotes!

Here's a little preview of the reporting interface and in-editor viewer! #madewithgodot #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

Yes, even if not on social networks right now ; we're producing a comprehensive school curriculum for students to learn gamedev with Godot. It's being used in a bunch of schools around the world already. The project's massive in scope so it's not leaving much time for other things until completion.

It's best not to count on a first commercial game making money, even if I wish you financial success, of course.

It's just really hard to sell many copies of games.

I'm glad if it's helpful! I looked at your game's progress and you seem to be off to a good start.

I almost forgot, we made this free and open-source app to learn the basics of coding for aspiring gamedevs. It's been used by a couple 100,000s of people by now: gdquest.github.io/learn-gdscri...

It's part of the official Godot documentation and translated into a dozen languages too.

Thanks much for the kind words! It's always great to hear when learners manage to make games all on their own.

I checked your submission, good job there!

This curriculum, although it's in early access, has already a fair amount of material and is being taught in schools right now.

If you'd like to chat and see if there's something we can do together, you can reach out anytime at nathan@gdquest.com.

It's a long, dream project of ours where we're crafting everything from scratch to provide the community with something that's been lacking.

Generally speaking we've been doing our best to provide a lot of open source demos for Godot, free tutorials, filling the gaps in educational needs.
