I saw some discussion about this recently and figured it would be good to put on your radar An exported Godot game stores all scripts and assets in plaintext with comments and all intact It takes literal seconds to get a full project from a game #Godot #GodotEngine #GodotTips #GameDev #IndieDev

Alternatively you can use C# and set it to use native AOT compilation by adding <PublishAot>true</PublishAot> to the .csproj file This can break some games You could also write some critical pieces as GDExtension, or fork the engine and make some function shims to break the generic decompilers

At the end of the day this doesn’t matter much. It can even be helpful if you had a catastrophic data loss and managed to save your project from an export. (Use source control!) But it’s important to know what’s out there and to protect your IP 💙

Tools like github.com/GDRETools/gd... will decompile it for you. Tools like github.com/char-ptr/gdke defeat the (useless and optional) encryption offered. Does this matter? Not a lot, but sometimes games get decompiled and reuploaded to App Stores and it’s difficult to get them taken down

github.comGitHub - cherriesandmochi/gdmaim: GDMaim is a GDScript obfuscation plugin for the Godot Engine.GDMaim is a GDScript obfuscation plugin for the Godot Engine. - cherriesandmochi/gdmaim

What can you do? You can use an obfuscator like github.com/cherriesandm... If you want to make your project more difficult to reverse engineer They still have your code, but it will be mangled and in a sufficiently large project this would be a nightmare to screw with

Let's learn about tariffs (and how they affect #boardgames 😒) #BoardGame manufacturing happens in China For most of the world there is no domestic alternative They do not make components/mtls that are needed for your game, they import them from China and middleman you (💲💲💲) A 🧵 #TTRPG #GameDev

Myles@myles.redplanetgames.co

Something a little different today. Let's talk about #boardgame manufacturing I have worked with these manufacturers to varying degrees and been happy: WHATZ SkyGame LongPack HOPES (p much) All #boardgames are made in China, specifically in Shanghai. Continued in replies... #gamedev #ttrpg

The tariffs won't be such a big deal to existing games that have an idea of what their orders look like But a Kickstarter that you backed a year ago is going to be in real big trouble A game that is planning a Kickstarter has to consider that the tariffs may be 150% (🤷?) by the time it ships

So what does this mean for consumers? Already tight margins are getting tighter, I would expect most board games will raise their MSRP by about half of the current tariffs, or 10-15% to recoup Some floating Kickstarters will go under and fail to deliver New Kickstarters will be more expensive /🧵

Myles@myles.redplanetgames.co

So let's say your game costs you $10 per unit, you sell it to gaming stores for $20 per unit, and they MSRP it for $50 per unit You expect to make $10 profit per unit 😏 Now there is a sudden 10%, no wait, 20%, no wait, ??% tariff on all goods from China Your original $10 per unit game is now $12+

That doesn't sound THAT bad, but you didn't order one unit of your game You are fulfilling a Kickstarter, KS already took their ~9%, backerkits ~3% You ordered 3000 units of the game in Oct '24 expecting to pay $30,000, but now it will be $36,000 It's on the boat, hope you have the $$ ready

Myles@myles.redplanetgames.co

What is a tariff? A tariff is a tax that is paid for 𝙗𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙮 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙, as a percentage of the manufacturing cost of those goods A tariff is traditionally used to stop other countries from severely undercutting prices on domestic production and overtaking that industry

When tariffs increase, the importer of the goods has to make a choice: A. eat the cost of the tariff, lowering profits B. pass the cost of the tariff onto the consumer by raising prices to cover the tariff No matter what they choose, they need the capital in-bank to cover the addl tariffs now

Still learning #Godot 🤖 engine, making a card game Lots of very quick tweens when moving cards around, needed to let the tween finish before any other input allowed Came up with a very simple solution, wanted to share 💙 Code / mini tutorial in replies... #gamedev #godottips #godotengine #solodev

Now anywhere you are setting up a tween, you do: var tween: Tween = get_tree().create_tween() Globals.pause_for_tween(tween) # YOUR TWEEN RUNS HERE await tween.finished Globals.end_pause() So we pause the tree, run the tween, and unpause the tree when tween finishes Easy peasy 💙💪

Just a quick note on this though, I probably would not recommend this if you are running long duration tweens For tossing cards around with no tween duration longer than 0.3 seconds this works perfectly Hope this helps someone, let me know if you have any questions ☺️

Create a global singleton/autoload if you don't have one 1. Right click in filesystem -> Create New -> Script --Inherits: Node --Name it "globals.gd" or similar 2. Configure it to autoload as a singleton Project -> Project Settings -> See Image

@julienaubert.bsky.social

This is all we need in "globals.gd": ======= extends Node func pause_for_tween(tween: Tween) -> void: tween.set_pause_mode(Tween.TWEEN_PAUSE_PROCESS) get_tree().paused = true func end_pause() -> void: get_tree().paused = false ======= This will pause the game, but let the tween still run...
