After math, reading, writing and a bit of Japanese, today's homeschooling project turned out to be yet another LED circuit. This time my daughter wanted to make a halloween creeper, and she insisted that I recorded the first try (I wanted to make a test first, but no, no)😅 #electronics #makerkids

It seems that I’m a bit out of practice after taking some time off for the summer☀️ The ~8 minutes video I had planned landed on 17 minutes. Which of course is also the reason why editing ended up taking twice as long as expected😅 #godotengine #tutorial #gamedev

We are closing in on the end of summer. Which means it is time to get back to working more regularly. It is also a perfect occasion to break in the new cup I bought at Hannover Maker Faire this weekend🤩 #godotengine #makerfaire

“What do you do professionally” was a common question at GodotCon. It can be hard to answer without oversharing🤔 Our kids are homeschooled. Homeschooling isn’t common in Denmark and is illegal in several European countries. This is what I made with our 7yo on Monday. Today we are doing statistics📊

I just finished reworking my inventory system, so it's possible to transfer items between inventories. Robots can now pick up items as well! I'm not 100% sure this is the best solution for this game. But I'll keep it like this for now 😎 #madewithgodot #zeldalike #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

I leave for Amsterdam in two days and I just got these two delivered. So if you see either of these at #godotcon, come say hi! I kind of regret not getting both as a hoodie tho. It is such a nice quality and I can definitely see myself using it as a spring/summer jacket🤩 #godotengine

The next Godot voxel video is finally being recorded and edited. I’ve decided to divide the script into two videos. Once these are done, I’m going to work on other projects for a while. Voxels are a bit too complex when I also have a child that currently needs a little extra nurturing.

I had a bug where the robots would stop working and block if I started them quickly after each other. I've been ignoring it for months, but today I managed to find the problem within an hour😅 Now I just need a button for starting them all at once🤩 #madewithgodot #godotengine #zeldalike #programming

Yesterday I finally had more than 30 minutes to myself, and got Binary Greedy Meshing using Integers and bit shifting to work. It seems to be ~33% faster than my regular Greedy Meshing algorithm. I havn't looked into if it could be optimized further or would be faster in C++. #godotengine #voxels

Echo now has a few menus. And now I'm realizing I forgot to add a pause menu with an option to exit to the main menu... Next is exporting and uploading to Itch. And then hopefully I will have time to make the player a bit slower for a while when the wall is hit. #madewithgodot #gamejam #godot

Echo is now playable (-ish). With a random start and random goal. The cave system is connected. And we can create a new random game or replay the same. Next up is creating a main menu and make it possible to create a game from a specific seed. #madewithgodot #godotengine #gamejam

Life and a kid that didn't want to go to school stole 2-3 days of the game jam. I guess this is going to be a very limited scope game😅 Anyways, I just managed to get the algorithm to connect rooms to work. #proceduralgeneration #madewithgodot #godotengine #gamejam #cellularautomata #cavegeneration

Sometimes you just need to spend two days working on a bug that just doesn't make sense. In the end you will see that you wrote 'pos' instead of 'n_pos' and thus didn't really count the number of neighbour walls as you thought... Cellular automata is now working for Echos level generation. #godot

Echo dev, day 2. I didn't have much time to work on this today, but I implemented a basic cellular automata cave generation. Or I though I did - each iteration isn't actually changing the initial noise and I'm to tired to figure out why😅 To be continued! #gamejam #madewithgodot #godotengine

Instead of moving on the level generation as planned, I drew two water tiles and looked for shaders, that could help improve the water feel of the game. I'll look at level generation to night (if the kids fall asleep quickly) or tomorrow. #gamejam #madewithgodot #godotengine

Okay, here we go @jackiecodes.bsky.social Jackie Jam #3 - Signal I'm not sure I'll have time to finish this jam, but inspiration struck, and here we are. This is two hours in. The player is a small underwater vessel using sonar (signal) to navigate. #madewithgodot #godotengine #gamejam

I finally sorted out all the things that went wrong in the fragment shader🥳 Now the colors are added correctly from the shader. And I can move on to optimizing the binary meshing using bit tricks🤩 #greedymeshing #godotengine #voxeldev #madeingodot

Binary Mesh and transferring voxel data to the fragment shader using 3D textures to add colors isn't that difficult! Right? Right??? (I might need a bit more than the 30 minutes I had to myself this morning to figure this out😅) #madewithgodot #godotengine #voxelterrain #shaders

Multi tasking day. Watching the winter olympics while recording video for a voxel tutorial/devlog and editing a Scratch video. I‘m hoping to also find time to work a bit on my little puzzle game for my math hungry youngest child! #madewithgodot #godotengine #voxelterrain #gamedev

This is why shaders are always so fun to work with. The end result might not always be that difficult to understand. But you get fun results while you try to remember how everything works! #madewithgodot #voxeldev #voxelterrain #shaders #godotengine

Tonight’s coding task is a little different. I’m battling R Studio. Hopefully it will end with a few useful plots for my next voxel video where we will compare two meshing algorithms (and also GDScript versions vs. C# versions). #godotengine #madewithgodot #voxelterrain #gamedev

Today I remembered, that I haven't made much in C# before. But after ~2 hours with a lot of complaining, I got the hang of it and ported the first meshing algorithm from GDScript to C#. Tomorrow I'm porting the greedy meshing algorithm so we can measure and compare it all. #madewithgodot #voxels

Greedy Meshing, V2. Slow, but ready to be measured and compared to the previous meshing solution - this is for a mix between a dev log and a tutorial. The next step is to move this to C++ and/or C#. #madewithgodot #voxelterrain #voxeldev #screenshotsaturday #godotengine #gamedev

Now that Godot Wild Jam is over, I’ve finally got time to finish up a few new Godot tutorials🤩 And I’m hoping I also have 1-2 hours tonight to work on my main game🤞 The game jam was great, but it also made me miss my little programming zeldalike a lot! #godotengine #gamedev #programming

One day left of Godot Wild Jam 84! Today was extreamly fun. My little roguelike inspired game about a water vole finally got procedural levels based on cellular automaton. Our 6yo drew a tree and made art for the tiles I made that she didn't like😅 #madewithgodot #screenshotsaturday #godotengine

Godot Wild Jam, day 6. I've been working on menus, new effects that changes the view range of the player and water now floods the maze you have made, if you dig under a tile that has water at the top level. Tomorrow I'm working on sound effects with our 6yo. #madewithgodot #godotengine #gamedev

End of day 3. I didn't have as much time today, because kids, homeschooling and so on. But I managed to finish the items, effects, hotbar and energy systems. And then a limited the players view - this can also be changed by items later. #madewithgodot #godotwildjam #gamedev #godotengine

End of day 2. We now have a little inventory. The player can collect plants and save them for later. The plants will effect the player in different ways when eaten. The game will always have the same effects, but which effect an item will have may be randomized. #gamejam #godotengine #gamedev

This is why I haven't participated i a game jam before. It's just so difficult to stay focused😅 The kid wanted a golden strawberry, so I spend way to long figuring out how to create a shader with this shiny effect. And then back on track - the game can now be won! Obstacles and enemies next!

It seems that my 6yo is trying to take over my game jam project (this was expected😅) The first thing she decided was that the goal of the game is to find a giant golden strawberry. She then proceeded to draw a bunch of art for the game while I was busy implementing an energy system. #godotengine

It seems that Godot Wild Jam #84 will be my first Game Jam ever. I'm hoping it will work with having a family and many other projects going on. Say hello to my little water vole, that just wants to dig tunnels, eat stuff and avoid danger. Tile- and turnbased movement. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Voxel dev in a nutshell. 95% of the time it just looks weird😅 This is also the last meshing algorithm I'm looking at before moving the meshing to C# and/or C++ (maybe both, so I can compare the two - but I'm definitely more comfortable with C++ for stuff like this). #godotengine #gamedev #voxels

The new way I'm keeping track of both the work for my game and Youtube makes it SO much easier to get stuff done, even if I'm having a bad day🤩 Even though I'm crazy tired today, I still managed to get a few tasks done on my game. And I recorded video for a small tutorial. #godotengine #gamedev

Today I reworked the inventory. Mainly stuff changed behind the scenes, but I also made it possible to click and drag the inventory menu. This will also be added to the programming menu, so the player can move the menu, if it is blocking part of a puzzle. #godotengine #madewithgodot #zeldalike
