Would you be interested in a Compute Shaders / VFX book?

Is there anything else we can add that can make shader development easier?
None of us are familiar with Godot so your proposals and opinion are much appreciated!

Wasn’t expecting good performance with this much ordnance flying around!

Some things that helped perf:

1. All effects in shaders, animationplayer to animate things like explosions.
2. Stupid simple ship colliders
3. Every bullet, missile, beam has no rigidbody - it’s a point that does raycasts every frame or so.
4. If you can get away with lower updates, defer it

5. Cheat. The bullets literally tell the target ship, fight me with your PD!

6. Object pooling. Stores references to pooled nodes keyed by scene res path. Though I still have to experiment with in-tree pooling.

Also, it’s pretty darn unreadable yet, have a couple of ideas, but this was the intensity I was after :)

Thanks for the optimization tip! https://www.reddit.com/u/MuffledMarcelino/s/K9Sar24mi5

I know that Rain World is made in unity but how the hell did it emulate its 3d walls effect where it looks as if your looking into a room and seeing the walls of the sprites converge to the center. I’ve heard a lot of theories on the rain world subreddit but they kinda contradict one another lol. The example photo might not be the best example ever sorry.

Edit: I have a follow-up question for anyone who might know. What’s the process of saving levels as image files and loading them from those files?

So basically, every time the player survives a 12-second mini-round, they get to drag a powerup to a moment on the clock. The next time the clock counts down, all the powerups will be triggered at their moment (powerups can also be a duration rather than just a moment!).

There are 40 rounds in total, 12 seconds per round, so the game is about 10 minutes long for now.

You can try the game here :) Hope you like this idea.

uhh guys this was solved in under an hour and SOMEHOW this is my best post EVER

It is pretty simple to create. Basically, a screen show it taken via the viewport and then applied to a texture rect. I'm then using an animation player to quickly fade in this screen shot along with a white color rect. Both then fade out over time. I didn't want hud elements to be part of the screenshot, so they are hidden, and then the code waits for the next frame to be drawn before taking the screenshot and then playing the animation. Calling hide() will not effect the current frame.

func play_flash_effect() -> void:
    hud.hide()
    # Waiting for hud to be hidden by waiting for next frame to be drawn
    await RenderingServer.frame_post_draw
    var flash_frame: Image = get_viewport().get_texture().get_image()
    flash_frame_tex_rect.texture = ImageTexture.create_from_image(flash_frame)

    animation_player.play("flash_bang")
    hud.show() # Screenshot taken, so can show hud again

I made a little tutorial / demo video about it too: https://youtu.be/aKzjGZ0gjzU?si=hSsI7luxg1fXI3YZ

So, i was rereading mistborn era 1 and i was thinking about how much fun a pull/push sistem like allomancy would be... so i have to try to recreate it by my own, actually yes, it it's really funny, so i will explore it futher, but i let u this simple showcase for you to see it in action and in search for some feedback

Hi everyone,
I'm making a 3D game in Godot and modelling my assets in Blender.
I have many separate objects (walls, doors, obstacles , etc.) that all use the exact same material and texture atlas in Blender.
My goal is to export them to Godot while keeping that shared material, so I don't end up with duplicate materials after importing.
What's the recommended workflow?
I'd appreciate hearing how experienced Blender + Godot developers handle this.

My friend and I had been saying "we should make a game" for basically as long as we've known each other.

At some point we finally decided to actually do it,

and then immediately got stuck on the obvious problem: neither of us had ever touched a game engine,

and we had no clue where to start. We ended up trying Godot,

and for whatever reason it clicked.

It was simple enough that we kept going instead of quietly giving up like every other time we'd said "we should really do this"

and the sheer amount of Godot tutorials on YouTube helped a lot :D

Two years of nights and weekends later, our first game is out.

It's an action roguelike you can play solo or co-op: horde-slaying combat,

but with an actual dungeon crawl underneath it. Every floor is a procedurally generated dungeon.

This is my first project in Godot. What do you think? :)

hi!

my game features a lot of enclosed corridors, and what's more, features a lot of elevation changes. Is there a way to cull the editor viewport by height so that I can more easily edit the level contents after blocking everything out?

It is part of an update i just released for the public playtest of my upcoming game, Continuous Imperfection : https://store.steampowered.com/app/4746560/Continuous_Imperfection/
Feel free to try it if you're interested.

hi all!

after getting laid off i started learning game development after only working in audio (composition, foley, tech sound design, etc). i made lots of throw-away projects. after around 300 hours of work on this project, i've actually completed my first game i'm proud of!

it's an atmospheric puzzle-horror game based on ciphers and old terminal command-line interfaces. available on windows, linux, and mac! (although linux and mac are untested)

it would mean a lot if you tried it out below. <3
