Been playing around a lot with godot VFX myself as well (mostly particle system now). Shaders are on the horizon.

Gameplay update (SNO / BRM / MYC)
YouTube video by Cool Jim Gameplay update (SNO / BRM / MYC)

It has been a couple of months since my last update. Working on spell VFX, squashing bugs, learning some mapping tools, and the list seems to keep going on. Still having a blast.

Devlog demo - Building out NPC Spawning behavior
YouTube video by Cool Jim Devlog demo - Building out NPC Spawning behavior

Did a quick devlog/demo of some NPC spawning and post spawn behavior system. Exploring how I can work with Godot's "tool" feature to expose some things to the editor that players don't get to see but devs get to enjoy!

Been working on systems a bunch recently and finally moved to Trenchbroom to make a tiny map. Small hunting party of 3 friends in an internal test! Got to play around with some textures by @strideh.bsky.social ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Still chipping ๐Ÿ”จ away at a big window texture update. Might release a smaller update in the meantime with more misc textures I've been adding here and there.

Was having issues with name and health/mana bars stacking with different camera angles. I ultimately just put them all in their own viewport and it "seems" to be working better. At least they're on in the same billboard now!

Took a break from the spell system a bit and spent a little bit of time in some UI elements. I'm not super great with the Godot control nodes (yet) so it was a little bit of learning.

Been working on the spell system a bit this last couple of weeks and then spent some time getting some objects created to manage classes. It does allow multiclassing already!๐Ÿ˜€

Itโ€™s a great skill to have! We do plan to have several Easter eggs in that reference all kinds of games.

I have really enjoyed working with Godot in general. The node system and gdscript make a lot of sense to me. The engine and editor are pretty lightweight and donโ€™t take an eternity to start. And all of the 3D stuff is more than capable for the 3D work I am doing.

Have you tried Godot yet?

Itโ€™s been a bit! The solo RPG / multiboxing game is on hold (for now). Still love the idea, but something new is brewing. Building a small team with big ideas. Sharing a very early peekโ€”more as time goes on...

Recently picked up a tablet to do some drawing with Kritta (VERY NEW). Grew up on #EverQuest and had some fun tinkering around. I really need to spend a little time playing around with brushes. But... not to bad for a programmer!
