YouTube video by ThyonGamer Possession Game - Godot Update Log 01

Finally making some progress. Stage 1 of recreating my Dreams game Possession in Godot. I've managed to sculpt the puppet, symbols and animated the Tower gears, got the first collectible holobit up and running working with keyframes on a timeline. Navigation is next.

The more I use Godot Engine and Blender, the more I realise what an absolute masterpiece Dreams PS4/5 actually is. It’s so polished and so easy to setup a working game. It’s taken me months and months and I’m nowhere even near a system where my companions are following the player without bugs.

For my game Gemini Rising, I played with several split/Gemini themes for the cover/menu - two locations, two characters (one in shadow), two emotions (safe vs thrilling) and in Dreams, it all had to be done in-camera with two actual “environments” cut in half and smooshed together in the middle.

Yes. We need AI to make breakthroughs in all fields, not take jobs of artists.

Those movies are called “Averted”

This weeks episode seems like much of the same. I said in episode 2 that they probably covered most storylines already.

Living the Dream

I just can’t see any more stories from this situation. Like I think they pretty much covered it all in 2 episodes?

@standardbankza.bsky.social Your telephone lines are all failing and all the emails I send get auto replies to anyone I try. What’s going on?

Now that’s the rapture!

Just in the US then.

GO! DOT!

The Dreams Puppet has never looked this good dancing! #DreamsPS #Blender #mixamo

@plex.tv what’s going on with Plex own Movies and Shows and also Live TV channels. It’s all offline. Thought it was something to do with the breach but all services say it’s green on website ???

I made another one with two ice textures using the default baked mask render options and o also did a quick tree stump.

Finally figured out how to do PBR masking in UCUPaint (powerful but confusing) which is now so much easier than doing a full material nodes setup and you can bake it easily for Godot! Layer 1 is moss PBR with a manually painted mask over layer 2 the rock PBR. #blender #ucupaint

My character for my game was ahead of its time.

Leave that sucker on stream repeat on your phone while watching shows on the TV.

Testing more Blender -> Godot workflows. 1) Mark assets in a blender file 2) Store in your asset library 3) Stamp them once 4) ALT+D linked duplicate, then scatter with rotate, scale, move. 4) GLTF export 5) Godot import GLB which detects only 3 meshes due to linked duplicates. Yah!

Also added the stairs with a ramp collider.

Ok I haven’t added sound for the fans yet.

Godot/Blender Workflow 2 - Doors & Fans are imported from Blender with auto-tagging and then I create inherited scenes from the import so I can add additional nodes for Detection, Animation and Sound, plus scripts for the logic and signal wiring. #godot #blender #gamedev

I added sci-fi two way opening doors. Looks like Godot is really the easiest part switching from Dreams. It’s Blender that’s the current killer for me. I just can’t seem to texture.

Finally put some stuff together in Godot. Blender environment (-col)+ basic projection spotlights with baked GI probes + one keyframed animated dynamic light using + fixed overhead smooth camera controller + my robot with run and jump animations targeted. Phew.

Godot is actually quite easy to understand. It works similar to Dreams with elements inside scenes and scenes loaded inside the game (Dream). Don’t be afraid of the code logic. It’s also very very easy to understand. You normally only need a few lines of code (wires). Blender on the other hand…
