Spent a fair bit of time today manually making this partial Godot 3 source visualization in LibreOffice Draw as part of my own studies. Focuses on Node, Object, and Variant's header dependencies specifically. Hope it helps! :) #Godot #Godot3

A visualization of Godot 3's Node, Object, and Variants, separated by headers and sources, showing a network of their header dependencies.

YES, okay building the export template for the summator module in godot 3 worked. Initially really confused because at first I didn't know export templates needed to be rebuilt, and then I mangled some optionals trying to use mold and llvm, but went back to defaults and it hecking built :DDD

Earlier in the year I hit a major snag in my game dev when in #Godot I had a lot of trouble getting it to compile from source, which threw a wrench in my plans to see if I could build parts of my game in C++. Today not only did Godot 3 successfully compile through code::blocks, summator worked :)

Taking a break from reading a book on build systems to figure out decent means of mind mapping to better organize and it immediately devolved. this is probably art i think. (libre office draw, please don't judge it based off this im sure it can do things that aren't this too)

Also theres a green smiley which is under a beautiful sun. the text in no particular order is "test -> whioa im a cylinderr" "help im a sentient text bubble save meeeeeeeeee" "i goch u fam" "beautiful sun" and "i am deeply pleased with this"

Been workin on a lot of different study things tangential to the project I made earlier in the year, but took a break today to have an emotional response to a visualization of the git repository for wine using a wonderful program called Gource (highly recommend) Stay safe n hopeful out there <3

Feeling weirdly hopeful today. Feels important to say when I am, given everything. Hope you all have a good one, whatever you're doing. <3

Hey all! It's been a little bit since I last posted, and I figured I should probably say where I've been and what I've been up to with the development of the game. (cont.)

✩Jade Perardua✩ @jadeperardua.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

Hey all! Been wanting to practice my c++ for a few reasons, one of which bein godot uses it under the hood, and making custom modules sounds fascinating and I wanna tackle it eventually. Big thank you to Programming With Nick for the pong tutorial :3 #gamedev #indiedev

Oh my god it was bothering me so much that the orbit gdscript func snapped into place instead of gradually applying a force from the bullet's base position, and I *actually fixed it*. Like it just applies a constant force *towards* it instead of setting the linear velocity. Me very happy :D

020

✩Jade Perardua✩ @jadeperardua.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

It's been interesting trying to workshop tools I can use with consistency. I tried poppin open physicsserver3d to see if I could optimize a bit of the bullet overhead, and it does feel feasible even if the workflow's pretty different. May keep different base bullet types for different needs.

Writing the foundation for this took a *lot* more days of work than anticipated but it's finally getting usable! Learned a lot about rigidbody physics in the process. (Credit to Blackwater Gator Studios for the orbit code! <3) #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Getting the sudden and inexplicable urge to make a regex gdscript utility that takes an existing node based structure and turns it into renderingserver optimized code to teach myself how to make renderingserver optimized code Overscoping is fun but we'll see what happens. may just dev instead :3

020

✩Jade Perardua✩ @jadeperardua.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

You ever look through a codebase and get struck by "oh my god that's such a better way of handling things" Yeah so func_godot's internals are *gorgeous* actually. Learning a lot about what gdscript can do just by reading func's documentation

Code snippet from https://func-godot.github.io/func_godot_docs under the Forge Game Data chapter noted under Modifying Entities on Map Build.

Checks if a function exists, then sets its properties to the script's properties, then implements has_method checks, a call, and a call_deferred, to apply properties and then complete its build process.

y'know it'd be really neat if ultrabox had some means of exporting every track individually at once, but I'm in too deep with this battle track to not try and give it my best shot at processing

Earlier on in development I was a bit reticent about tackling a project of this size as a first game, but as it goes on I realize part of the reason I'm making so much more progress on this than my earlier work is because it excites me. That and like, spriting feels way easier than rigging :3

Aaaand with that, I'm officially using Ardour in my music workflow again. Their latest update absolutely freaking rules. Ultrabox as a base and Ardour to refine is really nice. Still unsure how I'm going to handle music publishing when I get there. Rather not get false claimed. Open to suggestions

WOO, okay, fixed that texture to mesh issue that was really bothering me, thankfully the func_godot team detailed the issue nicely on their github which made debugging way easier. I just set Vertex Merge Distance Property to 0.015625, half of the default, and it seems fine now ^^

✩Jade Perardua✩ @jadeperardua.bsky.social · 05/04/2026

First time making a battle system, and with the gui mostly figured out I'm trying to think of a system which is going to make designing *every* enemy easier. I was originally going to use resources, but it gets unweildy for complex logic. Think I may just make a single base class they inherit from

020

✩Jade Perardua✩ @jadeperardua.bsky.social · 03/04/2026

One thing I'm finding a lot with development is that I can set a day to work on a given thing, but *only* doing that thing leads to staring at my code and having no idea what to work on or how. Meanwhile if I study something unrelated and *then* go at my code, I can work again! (hi i have adhd)

✩Jade Perardua✩ @jadeperardua.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

Been busy these last few days ever since I started implementing the battle UI! Trying to strike a balance between not overscoping and making sure to refactor things that'll bog down development later. Thankfully the pfp code is cleaner now! #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Something incredibly bizzare is that I'm actually able to study again. I used to get gradually building migranes the longer I tried to learn something complex, but with a *lot* of other health improvements, if im getting sunlight suddenly I'm able to read glsl study materials and not have a migrane!

Got good work done today. Was going to post an update video but then a bug popped up with the latest feature which led to much debugging. Fixed it though! Note to self, if something is returning null from script, and it's just chilling in a scene existing and not being null, try awaiting ready. x.x

I'm doing it. I've spent my entire life wanting to game dev and now I'm finally doing it. Somewhere in me is a kid who really wanted to make the spore creatures do kamehameha waves. This game is nothing like that but that kid is still very happy. Thank you all again for supporting me. You're lovely.

Need to make a point of remembering that being able to output the most consistent dev work I've ever been able to output is happening while I go out of my way to take care of myself. Sunlight, hydration, and taking painkillers when I *start* to get a headache is working weirdly well, who knew!

I cannot overstate how nice it feels to be able to work three days in a row. Usually health stuff of *some* kind gets in the way, but apparently recently I've been able to just *go*. Need to keep in mind what got me here so as not to health crash, but work output this consistent has me giddy :3
