each character had a unique model. this new approach has one model per race, multiple morphs, clothing and hair libraries, and FSM controlled animation. each model has its own skeleton and animation palettes. objective: less time spent making characters. one pipeline, (almost) infinite results.

I'm making the character and animation editors fully based on MakeHuman assets and standards. and this will be the first Densetsu Toolkit release landmark. why? read the first reply 👇🏻 #gamedev #indiegamedev #godot #tool #plugin #procgen I have no screenshots today. Enjoy a sketch ✏️

Yeah it's also an artistic choice. my MC's limbs and neck are all the same sample because I simply didn't need that level of detail. But I play in amateur difficulty, what do I know? 😅

Kaizer Sensei @kaizersensei.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
yeah that doesn't mean they're wrong. multiple surfaces sampling the same area is perfectly valid. some people make whole textures out of four pixels and it looks good

Dependencies: Broken Godot: Clunky Me: Yes Every time I open a scene with broken deps Godot freaks out. sometimes it opens, sometimes it gets stuck in a loop. after moving thousands of assets, the stock fixer is not enough. alas: #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #godot #3D #tool #plugin

organizing assets made easy! A question: Is there any plugin out there for category-based browsing? Godot's Filesystem dock is clunky and navigating large projects is slow. I'm feeling tempted to design a new browser dock tbh #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #godot #3D #tool #plugin

The procgen tools than would only need to know where the river starts and run one physics calculation until the ball reaches (parametric) sea level. Waterways doesn't take tension and viscosity into account, it just scrolls the UV on a curve-driven ribbon, so the trajectory must be right first.
110
Kaizer Sensei @kaizersensei.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
the water material is stock, definitely needs work. Waterways (the river plugin) does not calculate any placement, it's all manual. Terrain3D is indeed connected to custom procgen tools. Stock T3D has none. My initial (and naive) idea to define a river path is to drop a ball and save the roll path
100
Kaizer Sensei @kaizersensei.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
Made Waterways aware of Terrain3D, now I can place river points on terrain. Question is, how do I procgen this? back to the lab 📚🔬 #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #indiegame #retraissance #densetsu #godot #3D #tool #plugin #procgen #terrain

The concept, the Kitbash and the OBJ export Godot + Plugins is a powerhouse. Not Blender, but maybe a Swiss army mixing wand? Doorway is 90% CSG shapes, cleaning up and proper UV texturing takes mere minutes now. 10k tris #gamedev #indiegamedev #anime #godot #3D #conceptart #environment #location

oh, and the house has a two-story interior, which is not yet furnished or decorated so the count might go up, but I'd like to stay inside a 100k window for each full detail POI
000
Kaizer Sensei @kaizersensei.bsky.social · 19/07/2026
20k is more realistic. but only a small area in front of the camera renders in full detail and the hi poly assets get swapped out by primitives or vanish at a distance. even with virtually infinite polygon budget I want to spend it where it matters 🙂
000
Kaizer Sensei @kaizersensei.bsky.social · 19/07/2026
maybe 10 or 100 times that. it's hard to get a precise number but the rock alone has around 2k. is that low poly by today's standards?

if you don't mind some ideas: NPCs can react to each other and players with simple icons in bubbles. The actual conversations exist in the player's imagination. for example A: 🐈 B: ❤️ person B likes cats? likes A for liking cats? A: 👋 B: 😠 person B angry? hates A? A:‼️ B:❔ A:💬 B:🤷‍♂️ you now 😀
