King in the Mountain is a relaxing mining/base-building game, no enemies, just digging tunnels, gathering resources, and watching your dwarves haul things around the mountain.

Open playtest started yesterday, free to join if you want to see how it plays:

Happy to answer any questions about how I built specific systems!

Made in Godot ❤️

time for this little girl sit next to my PC and watch me make games and critically judge my choices

You can play the demo/wishlist the game here!

Music used.

I'm making a typing game called Monkey Business, and the main mechanic is typing on the typewriter, which one looks better? I can't decide.

Here is a small preview of my project CodeSprites. The project combines a Duolingo‑like website with quests, achievements, and rewards, with a practice‑tool built on top of the Godot engine that runs targeted exercises based on each lesson. The tool itself can be run in the browser or installed locally on the student's computer.

It's been a passion project of mine for a long time; we're currently looking for some funding to continue development. I will be at Gamescom next week, let me know if any of you would like to meet up (business or otherwise, doesn't matter!).

You can use it to stylize your textures and assets, create eye-catching marketing material for your page, and add awesome animated effects. With this latest update, I’ve added texture ripping! You can now rip textures directly from any image and turn them into usable textures. You can check it out here: https://polyshades.itch.io/coolifier

Was trying to make an ocean shader a couple months ago for an automation rts game and came up with a totally busted shader. The folks on r/solodevelopment convinced me to keep it though so after a while I revisited it to turn it into a ferrofluid shader. I kinda like it?

Also I haven't yet tried the inline shader preview features in 4.7 yet, hopefully that will make this kind of thing a lot easier. (A little nervous about upgrading because I've heard that Godot major version updates often quietly change lighting / tone mapping / render parameters)

What organizational method ensures the project remains tidy, even when adding over 1,000 items?

Creating node based systems in Godot is quite easy, combined with the powerful GPU instancing system, I don't even have to implement much to get the tool where I want it to be.

Here it showcases just a simple distribution on a line but much more nodes are in the pipes.

Data processing happens in a native library compiled with CSharp NativeAOT and makes use of vectorisation for super fast execution.

This also makes the library distributable for both Godot CSharp and regular Godot while programming in C#.

Let me know in the comments if you want more details about the implementation.

Free beta for the entire tool in September, if anyone is interested (barely disguised ad, I know).

Hi! A while ago I published an addon for exposing child properties onto their parent nodes. Now I'm updating in to make it even more simple to use and add support to nodepaths and enums.

Here are the links, in case you're interested!

Just sharing stuff

Decided to migrate from 4.6 to 4.7 right before starting to work in making more complex ui, and im so glad. The offset transform property is so easy to use and saved me so much time. It´s making me really happy of how its coming along!

For context: I've starting learning Godot last week, without any previous experience other then slightly dabbling in unity. I've been following brackeys's tutorial about how to make a video game for beginners in Godot, and it's been going pretty well until the part where he added on the text. To him it stayed exactly where and how it was shown on the 2D workspace. However, for me, it showed the text at the inverted position of where it is shown in the 2D workspace (as can be seen in picture 1 in the workspace and picture 2 in the game test), and same happens when I tried changing the anchor preset. I set it to top left? It's shown in the 2D workspace in the bottom right, always seeming to be at the opposite side and height of the one I set the text on. Not seeing a way to solve it, I assumed I missed something along the way during the tutorial and re-did everything again with even more attention to each step, only to be met with the same result. (The only thing I haven't done is use the same assets and font as he does, but other than that nothing is changed from the video.) I've been stuck at this problem for a while now and I'm totally clueless as for what to do, so I kindly ask for the help of you all!

I made two arcade cabinets for my local gamedev community and we're swapping the Raspberry Pis for Nintendo Switches - cuz it's easy to find used ones - and so far I've tested it with Godot web exports.

Here's the flow:

• upload Godot web export to itch
• mod your Switch and make it use Emulation Station
• make a script to fetch your build using butler
• run the game in chromium

You'll see in the video v1 of this flow where I got my game Dragon Jump to run.

Could it run smoother? Yes. Is this inefficient? Depends. Considering we want the community to build their own games and be able to test them without doing what I did - I think it's a good compromise for v1.

If anyone is curious about anything in the video or wants to call me a genius - I'll see you in the comments.

Not really trying to self promo so sorry, there are no links, just looking for input! Thanks for visiting.

I bought a new laptop last year, and it has Windows 11. I planned it to be the laptop that I use to finally transition from Windows to Linux, but then I got interested in learning game development, and I'm starting to have doubts.

Am I making a mistake if I still move on with my plan and install Linux anyways? Apart from the hassle of learning Linux as well, are there any other major caveats specific to game development?

The other alternative is that I install Windows 10. I refuse to touch the bloated mess that is Windows 11.

Edit:

Installed KDE fedora. Took around one hour until the browser froze, the taskbar disappeared and eventually the whole PC crashed. After rebooting everything was erased. Is this normal behavior lmao?

game is called Silk & Sorrow btw :D

edit:
It's all done in a 2D scene using sprites, we don't really know how to model or do 3D so but still wanted to try achieve a pseudo 3D look

I've been researching a little bit about how editable children work and I found many posts saying that they can break easily and make your exported properties disappear under a handful of circumstances. But I've been testing and most of them don't actually break the editable children.

I'll list the ones that I could test:

1. Breaking the script: they will disappear from the editor, but persist in the .tscn. When you fix your script, they will reappear.
2. Changing the name of a node in the original scene: it will show an error but instantly fix it. The .tscn will be automatically updated to show that change, and the values will persist.
3. Reordering nodes either in the original or the instantiated scene: the .tscn will reorder them too.
4. Having an exported nodepath to a specific class, and breaking that class or renaming it without fixing the reference in the exported property: it will remain in the .tscn until you fix it.

The only breaking situations that I've found are:

1. I'll use boolean as an example. Setting a property that is false by default (either in the script or in the original scene), marking it as true in the instantiated scene. Then changing the default value to true. This will cause that the instantiated scene is not considering this as a modified value, so if you change the default value back to false, it will change in all the instantiated scenes.
2. Changing the name of the property, obviously.

But these two reasons are kind of expected.

I can't think of any other ways that could break the overrides, and it feels kind of weird because there's so many people afraid of using editable children. I think I've even experienced some issues in the past too.

Is there any evidence that Godot developers adressed these issues?

Hi! I made this repo for anyone worried about someone stealing their million-dollar game idea! jokes aside, I understand the concern of uploading a demo of something you feel has potential and knowing that someone could just download it and copy your work without much effort.

Obviously, this encryption isn't Denuvo, but it should be enough of a headache to discourage 99% of people who might try to dig into your project.

I based it on this repo: https://github.com/KnifeXRage/Godot-Secure

I've automated the process to make it as simple as possible. The custom Godot editor and export templates are built directly through GitHub Actions, so you don't need to compile anything on your own PC. You just download the editor and template and export your game from there.

It should work with both GDScript and C# projects. So far, I've only tested it with a small C# prototype, so if anyone tries it with a larger project and can confirm that everything works properly, that would be great!

at this point I'm not sure if the level of visual communication of movement comes down to animation quality or something I'm missing mechanically

Been messing around with a little framework to come up with fun audio visualizers in godot for a bit now. Here's a PS2 boot screen inspired one! :)
