No Oct. 1st release as I hoped, things are moving as time allows. I'm adding a bunch of mini-editors that feed from and into the available assets. The goal is "I manage the game systems so you don't have to. You edit stuff" #gamedev #indiegamedev #godot #tool #plugin #procgen #screenshotsaturday

Organization systems made stuff easier to find but also broke some prefabs. Luckily, I had a dependency fixer tool. Unluckily, it refuses binary resources. Luckily I have eyes, hands and a brain (in jars) Unluckily, no time #gamedev #indiegamedev #godot #3D #kitbash #3Dassets #screenshotsaturday

I also became obsessed with the Seigetsu train. When I'm not doing IT or Gamedev I'm usually sketching stuff and writing lore. The world opens up as the MC walks through it, but at some point, walking becomes dangerous and... no spoilers :) #3D #conceptart #lore #story #godot #screenshotsaturday

but hey, the materials tool is really handy as not every 3D model out there has UV maps. in this case I extruded some faces in my 3D app but didn't bother to fix the mapping. You'll understand why if you watch this video. #gamedev #indiegamedev #godot #tool #plugin #UVmapping #screenshotsaturday

I'm making the character and animation editors fully based on MakeHuman assets and standards. and this will be the first Densetsu Toolkit release landmark. why? read the first reply 👇🏻 #gamedev #indiegamedev #godot #tool #plugin #procgen I have no screenshots today. Enjoy a sketch ✏️

each character had a unique model. this new approach has one model per race, multiple morphs, clothing and hair libraries, and FSM controlled animation. each model has its own skeleton and animation palettes. objective: less time spent making characters. one pipeline, (almost) infinite results.

5% luck 95% pain or whatever Mike Shinoda said integrating MakeHuman as the base for character generation. good on paper, horror on camera 🤣 #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment #godot #makehuman #procgen #tools #plugin

yo dawg we put more editors in your editor #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #godot #3D #tool #plugin #animation #character

Dependencies: Broken Godot: Clunky Me: Yes Every time I open a scene with broken deps Godot freaks out. sometimes it opens, sometimes it gets stuck in a loop. after moving thousands of assets, the stock fixer is not enough. alas: #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #godot #3D #tool #plugin

new name, new town, it doesn't matter. if it exists, it shall be found!

organizing assets made easy! A question: Is there any plugin out there for category-based browsing? Godot's Filesystem dock is clunky and navigating large projects is slow. I'm feeling tempted to design a new browser dock tbh #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #godot #3D #tool #plugin

same model, same number of tris, same material. can you tell me exactly what changed? now, where did I leave my Gouraud shades...? #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #godot #3D #tool #plugin #assetcreation #neverleavegodotagain #noalttabgang

Made Waterways aware of Terrain3D, now I can place river points on terrain. Question is, how do I procgen this? back to the lab 📚🔬 #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #indiegame #retraissance #densetsu #godot #3D #tool #plugin #procgen #terrain

Prepare textures, unwrap UV, paint, fix seams, reimport, find small mistakes, restart... How about... No? 🙄 I like keeping the four letters of ADHD together in one place. Go go Gadget Godot! #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #godot #3D #tool #plugin #material #painting #assetcreation

I felt a little dumb... Thought my textures were bugging out, then spring came 🌼 I was working on the map for so long , the calendar changed season twice without me noticing 🙈 #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #indiegame #retraissance #densetsu #godot #3D #tool #plugin #procgen #terrain

A systems integrator walks into a games studio and says: "Let me automate that for you!" The tester orders 1 beer, 3 beers, -1 beers, a NaN bread and a raccoon. We fired the tester for daydrinking. #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot #3D #tool #plugin #procgen #terrain

nobody: "you look a lot like your picture, apart from the jagged snow" is this the end of the terrain system saga? no, we still have rivers and biome dressing in the back burner! #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #indiegame #retraissance #densetsu #godot #3D #tool #plugin #procgen #terrain

The concept, the Kitbash and the OBJ export Godot + Plugins is a powerhouse. Not Blender, but maybe a Swiss army mixing wand? Doorway is 90% CSG shapes, cleaning up and proper UV texturing takes mere minutes now. 10k tris #gamedev #indiegamedev #anime #godot #3D #conceptart #environment #location

Stock Godot feels barren after this I barely even open other apps now! and as a bonus I added "drop and spread" to shift+page down, keeping the default "drop in place" intact Densetsu Toolkit 🔜 #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #indiegame #retraissance #densetsu #godot #3D #tool #plugin
