Hello wheelers! 👋 We're making a fun RPG-car game in #godot centered around a high speed hijacking mechanic.

We also build addons which we open source for free, such as the Godot Road Generator - it's in the asset library!

*squints at crushed upload video quality, making it nearly impossible to see where the transition occurs even in the zoomed-in corner, pauses, adds to notes of this being a critical success*

Load tests are going well as we migrate to #godot 4 - making use of those sweet, sweet HLODs for smooth transitions between meshes and image sprites! Excuse us while we delete a chunk of code that was manually doing this before...

After some minor fixes, I got the on-rails car to transition between procedural and hand-crafted road segments.

Though we don't have a full traffic solution out of the box, it doesn't take much to build your own on top of this fit to your own traffic needs! #godot #addon #road
