🚀Developing "John Space and the Xombax Parasite" ! A 2-player game where you will cooperatively use color-coded weapons and gadgets to defeat the mysterious Xombax parasite that has infected an ancient water plant... Follow me to show your support 😊🚀! #indiegames #indiecoop

Still hesitating between these two color schemes, which one is best? #gamedev

I saw this video on Reddit of DuneCrawl, which uses my Asset Forge for sketching. I love it, in fact, I loved seeing this so much that it gave me a lot of inspiration. Big plans for Asset Forge, hopefully will already be able to share soon. redd.it/1x2fy0r

I overhauled the UI and added portraits during the dialogues. The portraits are rendered inside Godot, let me know if you would like to see the set up. #gamedev #godotengine

🚀Redesigning the Health Kits 💌 in John Space: tell your co-op buddy to come inside the circle to benefit from it too! #gamedev #godotengine

📰🚀I updated my Top-Down Action-Adventure Starter Kit so it works with Dialogic 20 and Godot 4.7+. It was about time! It is free and open-source by the way: github.com/Nodragem/top...

I created a new switch in my switch system: it awakes an enemy and then, it gets activated when the enemy is defeated. Below an Area3D awakes the two crabs and the red spawners (yellow lines). Then, to defeat the two crabs will open the two exit doors and stop the spawners (red lines). #godotengine

📺Implementing a level map for my game John Space as players start to wonder where they are and where to go😁 I wonder if I should pause the game when the players use it though...🤔 #gamedev #godotengine

One of my visual shaders is spamming the error below, and I can't find which one, in which material: ERROR: modules/visual_shader/visual_shader.cpp:939 - Condition "g->nodes.has(p_id)" is true. Ever had this issue? github.com/godotengine/... #godotengine

In 2D art courses, we learn that black shadows is the enemy of appealing visuals. What I do in John Space is to make sure I have a purple ambient light, a height fog to mimic light reflection from the ground, and a glow. #gamedev #godotengine

🎮Many playtesters complained that it's hard to differentiate yellow and purple enemies. I think the background colours might be part of the issue, so I tried a new "blue sand" background. 🤔What do you think? I really liked the tropical feel of the previous one tbh... #gamedev

Well, it finally happened! After 9 years of Unity dominance, Godot was the most used game engine for GMTK Game Jam 2026 submissions. 🤖 Godot - 47% 🎮 Unity - 34% 🛠️GameMaker - 5% 🚀 Unreal Engine - 3% ✨ Other - 11%

📺Toying with making a mock trailer. Of course, some assets are placeholders, and I can get better footages if I do more playtests, but still 😁it was useful to give it a try ! Would you play that game? #gamedev #godotengine

In this co-op game, one player can activate 🟡tails with🟡 paint, and the other can activate 🟣tails with🟣 paint. Also, the players share a levitating blob of paint that they can call to activate higher tails. Lot of puzzles to test your co-op skills in perspective! #gamedev

The animation of the Slashers is taking shape ! Made with #b3d using the SpaceSwitcher add-on and GameRig Tools add-on. #gamedev #godotengine

Working on a new enemy for my co-op game John Space! The Slasher won't be able to move but it will cut you in pieces if you stay at proximity. Ah also, it cannot be killed 💀 Just need to rig and animate now, I guess 🤪 #GodotEngine #gamedev

Is it me or in UcuPaint, you can't bake multiple objects to one texture while mapping each high-res objects to their low-res counter parts? This means, for instance, that the joints selected below spills its colors/normals to the adjacent object.

Happy find of the day: Quad Maker, a retopology add-on for Blender. It's $20, it is simple, easy to use, has good shortcuts (single keys), and it does not crash. #GodotEngine #b3d #gamedev

The update to 4.7 is going better than expected ... #GodotEngine

A game needs good switches #GodotEngine

🔬Do you make automated unit tests for your game? 🧪 🙃I don't, but! I have a bunch of scenes where I can test simple units of my gameplay in isolation. When I create a new feature, I create a new test scene, and I code until it works! 🚀 #GodotEngine #gamedev

#GodotEngine tip of the day: decrease the maximum width of scene tabs to 150, so that you can more easily navigate between scenes.

I added a drowning animation and a little particle effect. I did try to add a splash VFX, but I couldn't get it right 🙃! Considering that this is a prototype, I think I will come back to the splash VFX when I work on the final visuals. #GodotEngine

I wonder if I should add a Death animation to make it clear that you can't go in the water, or if a simple teleportation VFX makes more sense. As in: the mothership automatically teleports you before you die? #GodotEngine

Adding rooms with complex mechanics to my co-op game! Here three room states need to be resolved before the door can be opened. #GodotEngine

Today, I decided not to open #GodotEngine, and I started downloading a game on Steam... I ended up making my own mortgage simulator in #Streamlit 🤣 I think I should have opened Godot Engine !

Godot USD: Moved from a patched Godot to a proper GDExtension, so you no longer need a fork. Pretty happy with the live variant changes, it also has a traditional "one-off" importer if you do not want to pay a runtime libOpenUSD price. github.com/migueldeicaz...

My level editing tools start to be working... Add some randomness and enemies running after the players and this will be pure chaos 😃 ! #GodotEngine

Difference before and after I plugged my laptop in #GodotEngine. At the moment, my SteamDeck (unplugged)'s performance is close to my unplugged laptop (25 fps!). Some optimisations to do today! Main cultrips? the screen based shaders (i.e. SSIL, water) and the Terrain3D.

Hey #GodotEngine folks! When do you use Custom Node (i.e. class_name), when do you use PackedScene? You can basically achieve similar things with both but there are few UI/UX differences; I am not always sure when to use one over the other! 😅

Working on a new section of my level today! It will introduce some platforming and importantly, the ability to call Eela (the drone) between the two players to activate switches. #GodotEngine

Water transparency does make a difference though (see previous post), so I think I will drop the default Godot's SSR 😳 and use marcelb's water shader 🚀! #GodotEngine

Playing with the new SSR feature from #GodotEngine, not sure I will use it for the final product, but it looks great! Note for later: don't use mix() to combine two normal maps, it will break the SSR.

Trying to implement some sort of terrain texture blending... But how can I apply it only to some objects? The Decal node use the Visual Layers but I can't seem to access them in my shader. #GodotEngine
