That’s the best news ever! I always thought that Blender UI has accumulated a lot of technical debts, this is the opportunity to start fresh and improve the no-keyboard workflow.

I need to say that I removed the screen freeze on enemy hit for now, I wasn't sure it was feeling good.
Also I kept the screen flash for when the players get hurt, as in terms of gameplay, it makes sense to make the two players aware of it.

😅I will stop adding juice when the player can't stop shooting and don't know why 🚀🚀! #GodotEngine #gamedev

🎵Sound ON 🔊I digged out this "prototype" I've made 8 years ago in #phaser.io because I remembered the sound of the gun was satisfying.

There is no game in that game, and yet, you just want to keep shooting 🧐 This is what I would like to replicate in John Space (my current project).

That’s awesome! I actually wrote a proposal for this recently: github.com/godotengine/...

And we're live! I've written up a short readme that explains how to use this, and a couple of example scenes to show it off! Please let me know if you try it out and have any questions or issues!

3D starts to be painful when you do the high to low poly workflow, and try to use advanced rigs for your animations. The pipeline becomes brittle and you can lose hours because you didn’t check a checkbox :/ :/

I was thinking: this is weird, the animations plays correctly in the advanced importer menu, and then they go nuts in the .tscn.
Some how the importer does not seem to correct the indices of the bones in the existing .tscn scenes.

#GodotEngine folks, one day, you will reimport animations for which you've changed the bone hierarchy. That day you will go crazy or remember that all this non-sense can be solved by clicking on this button:

I don't know if that happens just to me, but my aiming animation and my running animation are conflicting on the root spine bone.

My solution is to create a RotationModifier node from SkeletonModifier3D, so I can override the rotation of the spine bone when aiming. #GodotEngine

The embedded game windows wasn’t a refusal I think? it was just thought impossible to achieve without monumental work. Once someone came up with a cheap and clean solution, everybody was happy to do it.

Maybe for corner cases (e.g. above and right of the screen) you could use the ray projection, but will that precision really matter to the player?

The question is how accurate it needs to be useful to the player. First I would have a distance limit after which no indicator is shown. I would simply use their x position if enemies are below or above the screen, and their y position if left or right of the screen.

🕹️Playtest 2 of #JohnSpace🕹️ Ok, this game starts to be fun! 😱🚀!!

Main changes were to:
- make the marking temporary so that Player 1 always has something to do
- health counter and death, so now there is a real risk to lose the encounter
#GodotEngine #Gamedev

Couch co-op is the way 🚀🚀

Yes that the difficult part for me, to find a story to explain the gameplay mechanics :)
In this game, you fight creatures that were infected by a parasite. The color corresponds to the parasite type.

It is far from working smoothly yet, but it has potential to be fun I think. Gonna tune some parameters based on the playtest and give it another try.

Time to stop making tools and pretty stuffs 👀, and time to start making a game 🚀😅! #GodotEngine

Here I am playtesting a game mechanic where one player has to mark enemies while the other can only shoot enemies when they have been marked.

I have been working on the same thing 😄 except that I use Path2D! I wish the Curve2D editor could be rotated 90 degrees.

Oh yeah, I forgot for a moment that you are generating the level during the runtime!

Was there anything wrong with the default navigation system in Godot?

When I discovered it, I actually thought about whether it could be used to make textures. But it would need a 3d preview.

I need to focus on making the gameplay mechanics of my game at the moment :/ So yeah no, I did not make an implementation yet! I have been working on tools to generate 3D platforms with curves though.

As my solution is kind of a hack, I am thinking that it could be an add-on until the Gridmap implements 2D auto-tilling.

Hello #GodotEngine friends! I've just made a proposal to discuss whether we could use the TilemapLayer 2D auto-tilling in Gridmap: github.com/godotengine/...
Let me know what you think!

Thanks! This limitation being there, do you use something else to compute your lightmaps? Is it just a texture to import?

In the environment, I can add a screenspace ambient occlusion but that's not really what I am looking for. I would like stronger/bigger shadows in my lightmaps.

I also start experimenting with film grain and scattering rocks/flora to hide the transition between Rock and Sand.
