I'm cleaning up my drives and I was looking at file sizes, this was kind of amusing:

1 install of UE4: 41.2 GB
6 versions of Unity: 48.7 GB
22 versions of Godot: 2.4 GB (5 GB with export templates)

If you want to simulate glass in Godot, sample the screen texture, refract it, and add it to the screen UV coordinates. I’ll be adding this effect to the Godot Shaders Bible package update.

These two shaders will be included in the upcoming update of the Unity Shaders Bible SE 🙂 Interested in learning Unity Shaders? 🔗 jettelly.com/store/the-un...

It is so cute 😍😍

Gave the sun effect a glow-up. Now reacts to obstructions, and looking directly at the sun also has a "blinding" effect. 🐧☀️😎

Godot 4.6 Release: It's all about your flow With the stability gained over the past five Godot 4 releases, it's time for polish and quality-of-life improvements for everyday development.

I was a bit early yesterday sharing an in-progress page but Godot 4.6 is out now officially. My character, and other assets (can you spot all?) are featured on the release page and I love it, I'm honored to be (a tiny) part of a great engine 🎉

New 3d cloud system #godot #indiegame

It really is a w for godot to have easy access to shaders and multi shading builtin in the editor

What engine are you folks using out there to make your indie games?

A new Godot version, a new release page :)!

I had the pleasure of working on the Godot 4.6 release page. It was a very enjoyable experience, and I hope people will like it.

Godot so Goated, how did I not know about Run In Browser. I just found this out by accidentally hitting the hot key. I usually use a python server script, but it's built in!!

I even get my browser errors ported back to the Godot IDE 🤯

The fact that this is all part-time while in uni and interning 😤

Made a major breakthrough on lakes and rivers computation. After stepping back for a while, i came back with a fresh mind and re-think my yet-steady-fast algorithm ("fill and flood back"). It is fast enough to be usable as a #gdscript in #Godot. So expect a contribution @thegodotbarn.com soon.

I was so incredibly tired of all those sound generators that can only create retro sounds... so I created my own!

It's a work in progress and it'll be part of a new project but enjoy some sounds I've made. Each of these took a minute tops! ✨

Made some new VR interactions.
Do you... dig it? 😎🐧🥕

Redditor warns others to not buy Silksong due to a Steam sale, rather waiting til it's at full price, so the game devs get more money

Made a stairway while trying to figure out a workflow for the dungeon graphics. Looks like I've underestimated the amount of work required for the wall pieces 😓

Over the years I’ve tried many ways to sort color palettes.
This is a compilation of different strategies: Hilbert curves, ΔE graphs, PCA, and TSP-style optimization: all trying to answer the same question: what is the “smoothest” order of colors? -> no clear winner: codepen.io/meodai/full/...
