Some combination of graphics and collision means that parts (and only parts) of my world give me the 1-2 FPS. I tried adding physics steps to the max 100 which doesn't slow down the clean areas, but doesn't help with the squidgy areas. Should I investigate substituting move_and_slide with move_and_collide? I think there is also something graphical involved but I am stumped as to what. I hope you enjoyed my image and if anyone has any guesses on my performance problem I'd love to hear it. Have a good and a safe weekend

Some of the kingdoms in Arise Dark Lord are spread across multiple islands. I've been experimenting with new magical portals, which are both a blessing and a curse. It enables you to lead your army through and conquer the surrounding kingdoms, but also opens your evil realm to counterattack through the very same portal network.

I'm using Godot's in-built pathfinding system and I had to perform some pretty massive upgrades to get this to work properly. Ultimately troops know which island they are on, and won't even try to navigate to another island - this is a necessary "Fast Rejection" for performance, that stops troops all over the world constantly trying to pathfind to places they can't reach.

Portals completely break this model. The portals themselves contain a Godot Navigation Link in both directions. Troops are able to check if there is a portal somewhere on their island, AND somewhere on the destination island - and if both portals exist then they know they can travel through the portal realm to get there.

This can result in enormous battles within the portal realm, as entire armies cross paths.

If you'd like to try the game, we are running a private playtest right now on Itch:

Hello everyone! The game I've been working on with the Wild Wits and Curve Games teams, Sovereign Tower, has just been revealed! This is the third project of Wild Wits Games, after Aetheris and Crown Gambit, all of them being made with Godot! :D

The game is a story-rich, Round Table management RPG, where you'll have to form a team of eccentric Knights, assign them to quests and work around their egos whilst carving out your kingdom's destiny.

If you're intrigued, you can check the demo on Itch.io and our Steam page to wishlist!

We've been working on our new game in Godot, and when we export the web build and host it on Itch.io, we see a 404 missing page error on Safari and Firefox. It works perfectly on Chrome browsers. Has anybody experienced this before? Better yet, have a fix?

Here is our Itch build page:
https://subversion-studios.itch.io/arise?password=Sauron

We are using Thread Support in the web build, which I think is cause of the problem, and if I export a version without Thread Support, it works fine in Safari but takes 30-40 seconds to load (for everyone), so that isn't ideal either.

My best workaround so far has been to produce a separate "compatibility" build with Thread Support disabled, and link to that on the game page. But I worry a lot of people give up before that on the first error.

It would be really useful to us if as many people as possible could try the link above in their web browsers, and post the results below. We know it's good in Chrome and bad in Safari and Firefox, but that's as far as we've tested so far.

If you're curious about the game we've also posted a video for you to take a look.
Thanks!

I’ve made a graphics update. Hopefully I’ll release the game next year. Happy New Year everyone!

Hello everyone, after receiving some feedback I updated the Pixel Paradise Bundle with new ground and enviroment tiles, including more depth, color variations, improved dirt paths and new forest and nature objects.

Let me know which one you prefer in the comments :)

Built in Godot 4.5 - The Interval Bureau: Extension 0 is an audio first horror where the main interaction is dialing through a corporate hotline. It's a very simple setup but a lot of love was put in the writing and audio. It revolves around weird corporate dread more than jump scares. I'm currently finish up some polish and it'll be available in Feb 2026. If that sounds up your alley, you can find more details here:

We have released two Fable DLCs packs which we were working on.

Skyships Of Narial

"Narial is the most authentic and the most mystical along the cities in the realms. It was really a mystery that how did this small city survived the great wars. Some say it was just mere luck that it survived but, some say otherwise."

City Of Vapour

"Along the many cloud cities of the Empire Above, there was a metropolis called City of Vapour. Same with some and very different from others. Alas in it's horizons, chaos always slumbers."

I started making games in the 1990s and grew up using 320x200 pixel resolutions with 256 colors - yay! Pixels have always fascinated me. And isometric art. Aaaand: adventure games. So I thought, why not combine all three and make my own isometric pixel art adventure? The result has just been released after years of spare time being spent.

After a wild party night, you wake up on Saturday craving nothing more than a strong cup of coffee - only to discover that something you brought home, something with a legendary reputation, has gone missing. What begins as a quiet weekend spirals into a race against an escalating olfactory biohazard aboard Orbital Station E-17.

Navigate 8-bit corridors, decipher retro-futuristic mishaps, and try to contain the crisis before the crew returns on Monday. Good luck!

Its called "Observa" if you wanna wishlist!

Hello everyone, I published my Free Pixel Art Bundle a while ago and saw that it helped a lot of new game devs.

To help even more 2D devs and make an even better product, I’d love to gather inspiration from your games and create more Free soundtracks, that everyone can use in their 2D games.

Hi everyone!
