#gamejam submission is looking promising, here's hoping the momentum doesn't end before the submissions end!

Average #gamedev learner thread:
Learner: I don't know what kind of game dev concepts would go into this feature. How would I make something like this?
Agents of chaos: However you want! 🥰
Evil creatures: RTFM this is your problem
Actual heroes: Study these helpful gamedev concepts: X, Y, Z

Do you ever have this wild rush of inspiration for the loose concept of an idea, spend hours cranking out code for it, only to realize you have completely forgotten what the original idea even is because you spent so much time building a feature?
The world exists, but for what?

Using simple scaling and/or shear operations, you can achieve so many effects *without* modifying meshes at all. The ceiling light here is being aimed by editing a single component of its basis, and the treasure light is just being squashed vertically.

I just need to stick with my Godot projects since I already know it, but something compels me to learn Rust and try using it for game development. I've been resisting the urge, but seeing 'Gnomes' was made with Rust has totally reignited that spark of desire.

Godot's matrix system makes the flattening effect simple to achieve, for those who are wondering. No render textures or nested nodes required - just one line of code:

Making pixel art feels easy until you try to make dirt. It's just dirt, why is it so difficult to get right??

It's taken so long but I finally feel like I have a real asset on my hands. I've redone this one so many times over the last couple weeks trying to get it right. Asset is being made for a game loosely inspired by the gameplay loop of Kingdom: Two Crowns.

Two weeks until #BossRushJam2025 starts with a $4000 prize pool! If you are struggling to learn game dev I will always suggest a game jam. It may not help everyone, but it helped me. Pushing myself in my first jam caused so many things to "click" in both #gamedev & #godot

Daily Godot Tip #19: print_tree when called in a node prints out the node and all of its children to the console. print_tree_pretty does the same but makes it look more like a graphical representation to make it cleaner

To blend between textures you could use the "attenuation" variable, which has the shadow value (but not only)

Still learning #Godot engine. Tonight's fun will be about (Finite) State Machines.
It is common to see lots of bools like "is_jumping" or "on_ground" handling what inputs are available per frame.
We don't want that!

Taken Ategon from Lemmy, great tip! Using prints adds spaces between items printed. #Godot #programming #sologamedev #indiegames #indiegameb
