Tibo (@heytibo.eurosky.social) made a refined version of Your First Shader from Zero to show what an experienced artist can achieve from the course's result. It uses polar coordinates to make this circular motion. You can grab it here: www.gdquest.com/library/firs... (go to Download Files in nav.)

We made a free shader series, Your First Shader from ZERO in Godot 4: gdquest.com/library/firs... You will create an animated portal step by step and learn reusable techniques like drawing procedural shapes, create masks, use smoothstep() to control transitions, draw gradients, animate, and more.

The free intro to shaders guide we're working on for @godotengine.org is shaping up well. It should amount to about 1/5th of a book in size. We're making sure all the techniques covered (masking, warping, procedural shapes, etc.) are common building blocks directly applicable to many game shaders.

My teammate @cashewolddew.bsky.social made this interactive shader preview for the upcoming free lesson to get started with shaders from zero in the Godot game engine. Coming soon to our free library!

You cannot technically explain yourself out of UX issues, please stop trying. So often I see users bring up UX issues, and programmers then tell them how much work it was to create their product. It doesn't matter how much work it was!! What matters is if your target audience uses it or not.

An absolutely incredible add-on for anyone making shaders with Godot! Click different lines in your shader code and instantly preview the output at that point in the code.

Recently I got invited to join the new Godot UX team. When I have time I will be helping testing editor PRs and make Godot more usable for everyone. What are some of the most annoying things about Godot UI/UX that you think need attention?

We made this free open source app to help people take their first steps with coding. It's used in schools and part of Godot docs' getting started series. After focusing on our curriculum, I'm back to improving it. Next version drops in January with clearer lessons where newcomers struggle most.

We've been working on something special for you, GDLibrary: a completely free library for Godot devs Think of it as your go-to place whenever you need help: tutorials, guides, a glossary to look up terms, and open source demos and assets to use in your games! Here's a quick peek at what's coming.

GDScript Formatter can reorder your GDScript code for you! Signals and variables first, then built-in Godot functions, then public and private custom functions, etc. It's open source, written in Rust, and runs fast. Give it a try: www.gdquest.com/library/gdsc...

🎨✨ Help Test a New Inkscape Feature! You can now recolor selected objects right from the Fill & Stroke dialog — but we need your feedback before release! 👉 Download, test, and tell us what you think: gitlab.com/inkscape/ux/... Your input will help us catch bugs 🐛 and polish the UI for everyone 🚀
Text: "New feature: Recolor Artwork" and "Testers Needed!"
Image is of buildings triangular rooves with each face on a building having a different colour, but matching the rest of the building-shapes. The new recolour dialog is open on the right and half the shaapes are selected. Those selected have some different colours applied.

Setting up pixel art graphics is pretty easy in Godot but it's not always easy to know where to look. I compiled the most important settings to get started here: www.gdquest.com/library/pixe... Let me know if you have questions! Art by ‪@heytibo.bsky.social

New Godot tutorial Learn how to create a satisfying laser beam: www.gdquest.com/library/lase... I'd love your thoughts on the video's style! We're looking to find a good balance between making nice videos without too much fluff, for people who already have some experience to learn from fast.

Some of y'all are gonna think I've gone completely nuts, but I'm gonna talk about rounded corners and why circles suck. Most devs take it for granted that rounded corners are circles. Spoiler: They don't have to be! There is a much more aesthetically pleasing and cheaper alternative. 🧵👇 #gamedev

All the tutorials about testing web exports in Godot are like "You need to install Python and create a local server" You don't! It's built into the editor. Once you've set up a web export, click this new icon in the play bar and click Run in Browser. It's a nice time-saver for jams.

Godot Engine gamedev VFX practice using TysonTan and @gdquest.bsky.social artwork. Inspired by the soul orbs from Kirby and the Forgotten Land. It's amazing how a simple drop shadow adds depth to an object. I'll probably make them more transparent and improve the particle effects in the future.

GodotCon is getting close! Who's going? I'll host a 1-hour workshop: The Godot Cheatsheet. The idea is: I bring my quick and useful Godot tricks, you bring yours, we all share, and I collect it all in an open source Godot project with lots of useful snippets.

Godot tip: creating a 3D mesh with a transparent material can make it much easier to visualize character collisions compared to Godot's built-in debug drawing (lines are a bit too thin by default and that can't be controlled). All you need is to create a MeshInstance3D node that matches your shape.

Wow, tetrapod, a contributor, just rewrote the force field shader in Godot 4, making it compatible with all rendering engines. Looking great! Porting of our open source library of 50+ Godot shaders for learning is in progress in github.com/gdquest-demos/godot-shad…
