jake o'reilly🧋| Starshot Idle👾 @jakeoreilly.itch.io · 09/07/2026

oh, you can't find a reference? THEN. MAKE. IT.

on a grey box, one character is facing away from the camera on the ground, legs dangling off and sitting down.
other character is facing the camera proudly, in an expressive and loud star shape, holding an SG-style white guitar

P3R in German says Braunhaarige Schülerin here (feminine), then when talking to HIM it says Braunhaariger Schüler (masculine), is this intentional or a mistake?

Braunhaariger Schüler
Mich beschleicht das Gefühl, dass ich beobachtet werde ...

very interesting germanism carrying over in this questionnaire, you can do gender-inclusive language by doing Jober*in (Jober masc. and Joberin fem.), so they did it in english too lol

Have you participated in a (game dev) conference, trade fair or other event setting as volunteer or host*ess before?

day 107, working on patch v1.0.1 ah yes, my old cost function was only ever integers so i didn't need to care, now it can return actual floats so i must cast it! before the upgrade would SAY 616 and actually cost a tiny bit more, simple fix in the end Total: 385h #StarshotIdle #devlog #godot

Godot Console output that says:
"
FLOAT = 8389.292272; INT = 8389.000000
[{8389}] converted -> [{8.4k}]
"

weird #bug, #Godot has opened my global [dot] gd script as both "Global.gd" AND "global.gd" (exact same content) says that it can't use type Global.gd.StatType for a parameter global.gd.StatType, there's an Autoload called Global that has global . gd attached game runs fine, but this is weird

Godot file system, on the left two files called Godot.gd are open, one with a first capital G and one with a small g, they are both the same file

here's a BEFORE and AFTER of Starshot Idle for #ScreenshotSaturday! i've added a lot of aesthetic-enhancing stuff to make the game look and feel nicer (and more customisable) #StarshotIdle #devlog #godot

Starshot Idle with a black/blank background, the ship is black and can't be changed, everything has a custom white outline

Starshot Idle with a yellow-greenish customisable space background, with toggleable stars. The ship is white and customisable, the outline is maroon and STILL changeable

oh yeah this was a good change, something people've told me to do since playtest 0.3...

green starry space background
4 rainbow aliens of different forms on top
green ship on the bottom, shooting green bullets
black outlines on the bullets, ship, and aliens

jake o'reilly🧋| Starshot Idle👾 @jakeoreilly.itch.io · 29/04/2026

i had all of my Manager nodes be Nodes instead of Node2Ds as a style choice, but since i store my player and all of the bullets / autoshots in it, i can use the GameManager's Modulate to change all of their colours at the same time!

GameManager Node2D which parents:
1 Player Node2D
3 Bullet Node2Ds
1 Autoshot Node2D

Purple starry space background
Yellow ship shooting the same yellow bullets
5 rainbow aliens of various forms on top
