Defaultsound

We tried our hand at the @gamemakerstoolkit.com game jam along with @defaultsound.bsky.social and made Anadrome.

You are a marble stuck in an infinite loop.

Took part in this year's GMTK Game Jam with 5 friends, two of which are from @item42.bsky.social We ended up making "Anadrome" defaultsound.itch.io/anadrome-gtm... Pretty happy with what we managed to achieve! #godotengine #godot #indiedev #gamedev #gmtk

The DEFICIT demo has been updated with some big changes!

Oversight Officers now have a little more self-preservation in mind; they will block and strafe around you during melee combat - along with a bunch more!

Vertex Colours of Wires

The wires also get exported with vertex colours for use later in a shader to make them sway slightly in the wind!

Reminder, Isles Of Rain Demo is out! Here are some behind the scenes. I spent far too long on this Geometry Nodes system. Each Vertex places a pylon. Gives me full control of pylon placement and automatically adds the wires!

Worked with ITEM42 on their last game PERISH. Today they have announced their second title, DEFICIT! go give it a wishlist! #UE5 #indiedev #gamedev

Ah that's fantastic, definitely one of those standard IK nodes you need.

How to light scenes I’ve been toying with godot lightmapper and made some simple scenes: Some people asked how I do lighting. I add a LightmapGI node and click bake! Why lightmaps? Lightmaps have been around ever since v...

Here's how I do lighting in godot, hope it helps!

Is it finally time to use godot? Kinda. It depends. There’s no best engine. Some engines fit your needs well and some don’t. I don’t know what you’re trying to make. People have been making games in godot. It’s possible. But you’re h...

Some thoughts on the state of godot after staring at its repo for a year

First pass on a waterfall shader, nothing too crazy just some UV offsetting.
#godot #godotengine #indiedev #gamedev

Cheap decal gradient for lighting large spaces. Use Decal Actors as a volume to light up whole static or dynamic actors that are enabled to receive decals.

This a node graph showing the logic behind the decal gradient material. Note that Decal Actors require a material to be set to Decal material domain and either Translucent or Alpha Composite blend mode. Turn off "Tangent Space Normals" in the global settings of your material to reduce shader instructions.

Too dark, needs a cool gradient! This pipe area is looking moody but it's pitch black below, not very exciting.

This decal gradient effect could be tweaked for ages because it's highly versatile, and if you extend the material's usage, you could even convert the Component Mask into a Parameter to work on all 3 axes. A claustrophobic L-shaped pipe corridor lit underneath in an orange glow with two vents on the walls emanating yellow fog light.

UE5 tech art tip 1.

You need a cool light gradient for that "off into the distance" effect.

Welcome to "Decal Gradients"!

Subtract Actor Pos from World Pos to anchor the effect to your Decal Actor.

Place the Decal, treat it like a volume. Voila - cheap lighting great with Lumen!

Finally finished modeling the second land mass. Next I think will be some waterfall fx🤔 #godot #godotengine #b3d #indiedev #gamedev

More screenshots of PERISH, our gold-stained classical FPS on PC and consoles.

This was our first proper game and the gilded antiquity automaton aesthetic is probably something I'd like to return to in another game someday.
