KT☆ケイティ @kt910.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

Game #3 of the 20 Games Challenge — Space Invaders clone 👾 Added an explosion effect for invaders. Tried particles only, but it didn’t fit the feel, so I added an animated texture to the particles. A bit over the top, but I think it turned out fun 🙂 #gamedev #Godot

KT☆ケイティ @kt910.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

Learning the basics of trigonometry 🙂 Using angle + distance to get position: x = cos(angle) * distance y = sin(angle) * distance Used this to build a simple orbit system: - Earth orbits the sun - Moon orbits the Earth #gamedev #Godot #shader

Learning shaders in Godot. Used the red channel as an index to map values to colors from a palette. Seems useful for dynamic color changes, but maybe overkill for simple variations. Also tried converting colors to grayscale. #gamedev #Godot #shader

KT☆ケイティ @kt910.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

Learning shaders in Godot. Tried making a simple fire effect 🔥 - Ellipse-based shape + falloff - Scrolling UV with noise texture - Layered colors for flame look Starting to see how scaling and shifting UV changes everything. #gamedev #Godot #shader

KT☆ケイティ @kt910.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

Continuing my 3D shoot'em up project. Worked on improving the scene feel: - Adjusted camera angle for better view - Added obstacles with random scale and rotation #gamedev #Godot

KT☆ケイティ @kt910.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

Learning dissolve shaders in Godot. Used noise to control the dissolve pattern, and smoothstep to make the transition feel smoother. Also combined it with a pixelation effect I learned earlier. #gamedev #Godot #shader

0111

KT☆ケイティ @kt910.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

I compared two ways to pixelate in shaders 👇 UV-based → divide by count Pixel-based → divide by pixels Pixel-based keeps square blocks, while UV-based can stretch depending on aspect ratio. #gamedev #Godot #shader

KT☆ケイティ @kt910.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

Learning shader basics in Godot. This time I focused on UV control. Some parts looked complex at first, but trying different UV coordinates and seeing what happens helped a lot. Now I understand better how each operation changes the final look. #gamedev #Godot #shader

KT☆ケイティ @kt910.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

Learning shaders in Godot. Built an outline shader by checking slightly shifted texture positions and subtracting the original shape to isolate the outline. Used TEXTURE_PIXEL_SIZE for pixel offsets. #gamedev #Godot #shader

KT☆ケイティ @kt910.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

Learning shaders in Godot. Switched from visual shaders to code shaders. Same results, but easier to reuse and share. UV.x, UV.y = horizontal, vertical UV.x + UV.y = diagonal gradient Used this with step to create a diagonal mask. #gamedev #Godot

Learning shader parameters in Godot. By turning values into parameters, you can control them from the inspector and scripts. Combine them with Tween to create animations. Feels like shaders are finally connected to game logic. #gamedev #Godot

KT☆ケイティ @kt910.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

Working on a Flappy Bird clone for the 20 Games Challenge game jam made me feel this is worth continuing. So I started a Jetpack Joyride-style clone. - Player sprites (inspired by Cave Story) - Hold to rise / release to fall - Death animation prototype #gamedev #Godot

Learning vertex shaders in Godot. Vertex → changes shape and position Add → results in movement Multiply → results in deformation Using time and sin, the value loops between -1 and 1. Applying this to the vertex creates effects like scaling and flipping. #gamedev #Godot
