I spent all day modeling and animating a new train ☺️ I like how it turned out. #blender #godot #indie

I crashed my brand new train. #gamedev #pixelart #steam #train

30fps on my laptop is better than not running at all. I will need to do some optimization though I think! #godot #indiedev #linux

I can't wait till more people can play this, it's getting fun! #indiedev

Going downhill out of the mountains is terrifying, you really need to hold the brakes or you'll definitely crash 😅 #godotengine #indiegame #toottoot

It is not obvious how to get Godot and VSCode working nicely together. I made this thread to give you all the tips and configs I use so you don't have to learn it all the slow way. I'm on Godot 4.7.2 as I'm writing this. Please add your own tips so we can keep learning 🙏 #godot #vscode

I have the Godot Tab Formatter plugin by justburntpixels which automatically fixes my tabs/spaces so I never get warnings about it.

The godot-formatter plugin by DoHe gives you full code cleanup, letting you press alt-shift-F to sort parameters the godot way, and a bunch of other linting. This could use it's own thread honestly.

When working on plugins or editor tools, you can debug those by running the entire engine from vscode (rather than just the project). This is crazy powerful.

You can run different scenes with additional launch scripts.

To debug the game, run it directly from vscode with a launch script.

With the LSP setup, you can find references, rename across files by symbol, and edit code using all your familiar shortcuts! I can't live without this.

The LSP crashes a lot, so enable auto retry, and turn up the number of retries.

In vscode in your workspace settings set "godotTools.editorPath.godot4": to the path to your godot exe

Using Headless LSP in vscode means your main editor doesn't need to crash when things break.

Install the godot-tools plugin by Geequlim in vscode

In Godot, under Editor Settings -> Text Editor -> External, set Exec Path: Your Path To/Microsoft VS Code/Code.exe Exec Flags: {project} --goto {file}:{line}:{col} Use External Editor: true

You have tippled your train.

We finally added crashing to our tippy train game. Everyone deserves a blue screen of tipping. #indiegame #retro #aseprite #trains

This is a great breakdown on how to recreate genshin's character shaders. adrianmendez.artstation.com/projects/wJZ... The face shadow just picks between two hand authored shadows depending on light direction. And I especially appreciate the outer shadow. Brilliant stuff. #gamedev #3dart #anime

Looking forward to 4.8! 🙏 I'll use trails a ton

Zombie Zi@majormcdoom.bsky.social

Cool news: 3D trails are officially coming to Godot core! 🎆 All thanks go to @qbieshay.bsky.social who did a *huge* amount of work rewriting my GDScript addon as a proper, native engine feature. 🙏 Feel free to check it out early in the latest dev build! #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

Maybe this bug is actually a feature. It's a maglev train now. #Godot #IndieDev #Bugs #GameDev

Steam's recommendations are wild today.

I'm really picky about the pixel art in my game, so I had to make sure the outlines were pixel perfect. And I am happy with this result. Best solution I find was rendering to a second subviewport and then sampling transparency on the viewport texture 🤷‍♀️ it works! #indiedev #pixelart #godot

22 Aug

You all know about nearest sampling, but did you know about integer zoom? It makes the editor zooming way better! #Godot #PixelArt

How did I only find out now that you can favorite properties in godot? This will save me so much drilling through the inspector 🙏🚂 #Godot #GodotTips
