Thanks so much! If you are familiar with the autoinstall process of ports in portmaster you can find the Songo#5 testing channel in the portmaster discord and try it out ahead of the release

It felt tight at first but then I optimized just about everything and it's really fast now. All audio is streamed, all lists are virtualized, and I'm doing a lot of stuff asynchronously as well. It runs great on these 1gb devices. I suspect less than half a gig would be hard to work with.

Oh eventually I'll make the Godot engine modules public for flac and mp3 streaming from any directory location

This is what I've been side tracked on, a music player app for Linux handhelds. I should have it available in portmaster come January. #Godot #gamedev #indiedev #music #linux #retrogaming

Whenever I'm struggling in life, work, or otherwise I always recall this sage advice.

For #screenshotSaturday I want to show off something my son has been working on. Its really amazing that he can illustrate such strong emotions like "slug" and "potato". Couldn't be more proud of little man.

Hell yea. I'll sound like a broken record suggesting this but expedition 33 OST is great too

Oh man if you want to get hooked on video game music you need to play Hyper Light Drifter

Thank you! That means a lot to me, it's really just leveraging what Godot can already do 😊

Github link is up in an above comment 😁

Always grateful for your support Tom!

Heres the github link. if you use it please let me know what you think! You can get a hold of me here, in my discord server, or for bugs you can submit an issue on github. github.com/keymaster777...

I promise I tried to get pretty scene previews in the dock. I know it's possible but I had to admit defeat after trying for a few hours. Maybe I'll get it to work in v1.1. Id love to make them look like GridMaps mesh library previews

020

Niki's Quest Dev @nikisquest.bsky.social · 12/09/2025

Let me know what you think and if you come across any bugs! I'll respond again here when I have the GitHub page for it up 😊

010

Niki's Quest Dev @nikisquest.bsky.social · 12/09/2025

Heck yea! Let me know if you end up using it. It should work well for any 3d project although low poly or this 2.5d style will yield the best results

Niki's Quest Dev @nikisquest.bsky.social · 12/09/2025

Here's DropMap v1.0 a #GodotEngine plugin to make prop distribution and decorating as easy as possible. I'll have a github page up for it later today as well as a download in my discord. Let me know if you have any suggestions for it! #godot #gamedev #indiedev #wip #indiegame

Ouch that's a bummer. I've never done a jam but I've heard a lot of mixed stories

010

Niki's Quest Dev @nikisquest.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

That... actually makes a lot of sense

Niki's Quest Dev @nikisquest.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

You could make some mvp's see if any demos get traction maybe?

Niki's Quest Dev @nikisquest.bsky.social · 29/08/2025

I made some tweaks to the DropMap plugin I am building, you can add and manage collections all in the dock now! These also save to a resource so you only have to make your collections once and you can reuse them in any DropMap node. #GodotEngine #godot #indiedev #indiegame

I'll check that out, it sounds interesting 🙂

020

Niki's Quest Dev @nikisquest.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

Thanks! I'll definitely be using it a lot in my own project haha

Niki's Quest Dev @nikisquest.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

What kind of physics do you think it should implement? Aside from snapping down to collisions I don't know what physics would be helpful in the editor. Genuinely curious, I'd love to make this a tool that can really help people.

Niki's Quest Dev @nikisquest.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

Hey folks I made a #GodotEngine plugin to make 3d scene decoration easier. It's meant to feel like Gridmap but is based on snapping scenes down to a surface instead of to a grid. I'll have it available in my discord server and github in a few days. #godot #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #3dmodeling

The theme work is really well done here 🤩

Niki's Quest Dev @nikisquest.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

This looks really charming nicely done

Niki's Quest Dev @nikisquest.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

I was going to say the same thing, there could also accessibility tools that rely on base mouse usability

Niki's Quest Dev @nikisquest.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

I used to play a scholastic reader rabbit game on the home computer. Those games were the bomb.

This is a really cool take on Medusa 👀

Frogs eye going wild when the snail starts moving is hilarious

Hey fellow something quester, your game looks great!

Niki's Quest Dev @nikisquest.bsky.social · 23/08/2025

It's like the age old saying goes, if your game isn't colorful it should be as smutty as possible.

Niki's Quest Dev @nikisquest.bsky.social · 21/08/2025

I set up Niki's Quest so I can play it remotely from my PC. Holding it in my hands and seeing it on an OLED screen for the first time feels so wild. For anyone curious this is the Odin 2 Portal I am using. #gamedev #indiegame #godot #GodotEngine #roguelike #pixelart

Niki's Quest Dev @nikisquest.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

I added some better lighting in this room and played around with adding terrain around the walls to make the derelict-underground-castle vibe a bit more pronounced. What do you think? I show the room in-game at the end of the video here 🙂 #godot #GodotEngine #roguelike #indiegame #blender #pixelart

It's funny you said that I was just thinking the other day that the style kind of resembles the look of pokemon black/white

Niki's Quest Dev @nikisquest.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

I love the leaves floating in front of the UI here, so cozy ✨

Niki's Quest Dev @nikisquest.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

Thats pretty much exactly right, the first clip is built entirely in 2d. I'm pivoting my game to 3d for various reasons but using a lot of 2d assets and some camera tricks to keep the vibe of the 2d version

030

Niki's Quest Dev @nikisquest.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

Yes that's how I make most of the smaller models. For larger ones I typically make the rough shape and then turn it into voxels with a block remesh, scale it, then snap it to the grid.

Niki's Quest Dev @nikisquest.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

Thank you! That means a lot to me

020

Niki's Quest Dev @nikisquest.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

Thanks! The 'verticality' was definitely a factor in the decision to pivot to 3d. I had to build way too many pseudo 3d mechanics on top of the 2d version. Most of the custom stuff I made just works out of the box with the 3d physics engine and rendering.

030

Niki's Quest Dev @nikisquest.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

Thanks! I know what you mean, it can get kind of messy showing something through terrain

Niki's Quest Dev @nikisquest.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

Here's another room ported to the new 2.5d system. I could use a few more decorations and probably some more lights 😅 I'm having a blast building this stuff out in 3d. Let me know what you think! #gamedev #godot #blender #GodotEngine #pixelart #indiedev #indiegame #roguelike
