I overhauled the UI and added portraits during the dialogues. The portraits are rendered inside Godot, let me know if you would like to see the set up. #gamedev #godotengine

Is there a way to animate the Vertex Color in Godot, so I can use the same material for the two "slashing" meshes while de-synchronise their dissolving? #godotengine #vfx

📰🚀I updated my Top-Down Action-Adventure Starter Kit so it works with Dialogic 20 and Godot 4.7+. It was about time! It is free and open-source by the way: github.com/Nodragem/top...

I created a new switch in my switch system: it awakes an enemy and then, it gets activated when the enemy is defeated. Below an Area3D awakes the two crabs and the red spawners (yellow lines). Then, to defeat the two crabs will open the two exit doors and stop the spawners (red lines). #godotengine

📺Implementing a level map for my game John Space as players start to wonder where they are and where to go😁 I wonder if I should pause the game when the players use it though...🤔 #gamedev #godotengine

In 2D art courses, we learn that black shadows is the enemy of appealing visuals. What I do in John Space is to make sure I have a purple ambient light, a height fog to mimic light reflection from the ground, and a glow. #gamedev #godotengine

🎮Many playtesters complained that it's hard to differentiate yellow and purple enemies. I think the background colours might be part of the issue, so I tried a new "blue sand" background. 🤔What do you think? I really liked the tropical feel of the previous one tbh... #gamedev

📺Toying with making a mock trailer. Of course, some assets are placeholders, and I can get better footages if I do more playtests, but still 😁it was useful to give it a try ! Would you play that game? #gamedev #godotengine

In this co-op game, one player can activate 🟡tails with🟡 paint, and the other can activate 🟣tails with🟣 paint. Also, the players share a levitating blob of paint that they can call to activate higher tails. Lot of puzzles to test your co-op skills in perspective! #gamedev

🚀Pretty happy with the results! The thing is that this is made of 4 animations made in Blender that are then controlled with a Tween in Godot 🤪. #gamedev #godotengine

Working on a new enemy for my co-op game John Space! The Slasher won't be able to move but it will cut you in pieces if you stay at proximity. Ah also, it cannot be killed 💀 Just need to rig and animate now, I guess 🤪 #GodotEngine #gamedev

Nodragem @nodragem.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

Is it me or in UcuPaint, you can't bake multiple objects to one texture while mapping each high-res objects to their low-res counter parts? This means, for instance, that the joints selected below spills its colors/normals to the adjacent object.

Happy find of the day: Quad Maker, a retopology add-on for Blender. It's $20, it is simple, easy to use, has good shortcuts (single keys), and it does not crash. #GodotEngine #b3d #gamedev

🔬Do you make automated unit tests for your game? 🧪 🙃I don't, but! I have a bunch of scenes where I can test simple units of my gameplay in isolation. When I create a new feature, I create a new test scene, and I code until it works! 🚀 #GodotEngine #gamedev

#GodotEngine tip of the day: decrease the maximum width of scene tabs to 150, so that you can more easily navigate between scenes.

Nodragem @nodragem.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

I added a drowning animation and a little particle effect. I did try to add a splash VFX, but I couldn't get it right 🙃! Considering that this is a prototype, I think I will come back to the splash VFX when I work on the final visuals. #GodotEngine

Nodragem @nodragem.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

I wonder if I should add a Death animation to make it clear that you can't go in the water, or if a simple teleportation VFX makes more sense. As in: the mothership automatically teleports you before you die? #GodotEngine

Today, I decided not to open #GodotEngine, and I started downloading a game on Steam... I ended up making my own mortgage simulator in #Streamlit 🤣 I think I should have opened Godot Engine !

Godot USD: Moved from a patched Godot to a proper GDExtension, so you no longer need a fork. Pretty happy with the live variant changes, it also has a traditional "one-off" importer if you do not want to pay a runtime libOpenUSD price. github.com/migueldeicaz...

My level editing tools start to be working... Add some randomness and enemies running after the players and this will be pure chaos 😃 ! #GodotEngine

Nodragem @nodragem.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

Difference before and after I plugged my laptop in #GodotEngine. At the moment, my SteamDeck (unplugged)'s performance is close to my unplugged laptop (25 fps!). Some optimisations to do today! Main cultrips? the screen based shaders (i.e. SSIL, water) and the Terrain3D.

Every day I work on my game I end up with more new tasks to do than done 😂

Nodragem @nodragem.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

Hey #GodotEngine folks! How do you organise your level scene tree? Nobody else feels the need to have "dummy" nodes just to organise the tree into sections? See below how am I doing it at the moment:

Nodragem @nodragem.bsky.social · 24/04/2026

Reworking my Switch Component system so that: - it is now an PluginEditor / add-on - it use a Gizmo to draw the connections/hubs - it features three state switches (sleeping, awake, actived) #GodotEngine

160

Nodragem @nodragem.bsky.social · 23/04/2026

Hey #GodotEngine folks! When do you use Custom Node (i.e. class_name), when do you use PackedScene? You can basically achieve similar things with both but there are few UI/UX differences; I am not always sure when to use one over the other! 😅

Nodragem @nodragem.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

Is it me or to swap mesh while keeping the same animations and skeleton is overly complicated in Godot? (see below) #GodotEngine

Nodragem @nodragem.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

Working on a new section of my level today! It will introduce some platforming and importantly, the ability to call Eela (the drone) between the two players to activate switches. #GodotEngine

Nodragem @nodragem.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

Water transparency does make a difference though (see previous post), so I think I will drop the default Godot's SSR 😳 and use marcelb's water shader 🚀! #GodotEngine

0111

Nodragem @nodragem.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

Playing with the new SSR feature from #GodotEngine, not sure I will use it for the final product, but it looks great! Note for later: don't use mix() to combine two normal maps, it will break the SSR.

Nodragem @nodragem.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

Trying to implement some sort of terrain texture blending... But how can I apply it only to some objects? The Decal node use the Visual Layers but I can't seem to access them in my shader. #GodotEngine

Nodragem @nodragem.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

For a second, I thought that I could use the Decal node for terrain blending. #GodotEngine

Nodragem @nodragem.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

Testing the full level creation workflow I am trying to put together with #GodotEngine. You can see at the end of the video that I added a new feature to add grass and rocks at the bottom the cliffs. I am thinking to add terrain blending next.

Nodragem @nodragem.bsky.social · 19/03/2026

🎊It's been months that I wanted to get to this point 🚀! Interpolation and NoiseTexture2D really bring the thing together. It was quite a ride with #GodotEngine and I have learnt a lot about how to use Compute Shaders, Editor Pluginss, Gizmos and Resources.

An absolutely incredible add-on for anyone making shaders with Godot! Click different lines in your shader code and instantly preview the output at that point in the code.

Anyone knows how to profile a memory leak or performance issue for a Editor Plugin in #GodotEngine? My level editor becomes super sluggish when I reload my scene several times (Scene --> Reload Saved Scene), but evrything is solved when I reload the project 🙃😶🫠

I am very surprised by the number of algorithms that are already implemented in gdscript. Just found Ramer-Douglas-Peucker algorithm in the Godot Asset Library! Very useful here to simplify the geometry of my collision shapes! #GodotEngine

Hard to believe that this is almost 2 years I started this PR on adding a tooltip when dropping files in the 3D editor, making it consistent with the 2D editor, and improving their visuals. Finger crossed, 4.7 will the release this PR comes through! #GodotEngine

Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers. If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of: fund.godotengine.org
