A few players who reached out were on Steam Deck, which I wasn't expecting, so I'm adding controller support. I'm using Godot's built-in focus system. Especially appreciate the "focus_behaviour_recursive" property (added in 4.5), which I use to block focus on all children of inactive windows #godot

I have renamed my upcoming game to HolyOS. I think it's easier to remember, and it is immediately reflects the genre of the game. The new capsule keeps the wonderful hand drawing made by Bleeding Moon Studio, with a new logotype made by me.

Btw I had stopped playing browser games when Flash got phased out and then moved on to console and mobile. Now you can play Supermarket Together with online multiplayer, no downloads, for free? I love this Though these titles feel less "wacky" than McDonald's Videogame or Line Rider, for example

Apparently, Google expects you to find 12 internal testers who will "engage" with your app every single day for 14 days. Our game has 4 levels 🥲 We are trying to transfer the app to my old Play Console account which, if I understand correctly, is not affected by this requirement

Email from Google Play Console:

More testing required to access Google Play production
We reviewed your application, and determined that your app requires more testing before you can access production.

Possible reasons why your production access could not be granted include:

Testers were not engaged with your app during your closed test
You didn't follow testing best practices, which may include gathering and acting on user feedback through updates to your app
Before applying again, test your app using closed testing for an additional 14 days with real testers.

For a full list of reasons, and to learn more about what we're looking for when evaluating apps for production, view the guidance.

Thank you,

(6/6) Then we call EditorInterface.get_script_editor().goto_help(), to open the documentation. Not sure why, but this way the documentation shows up! If you don’t call ResourceSaver, you’ll just get a blank page. The end

Code snippet showing the code that runs when the user presses the "Open SDK Docs" button. Each of the SDK scripts containing the documentation are loaded and then saved using ResourceSaver.save() before being opened. This is to avoid a Godot bug causing the documentation to disappear.

(5/6) The documentation for the SDK is available directly in the editor. There is a Godot issue that prevents project documentation from being loaded. So we made a custom “Open Docs” button. When pressed, we load each of the SDK files and then save them with ResourceSaver.save().

Screenshot of the Godot editor with the Hathora plugin and the Hathora Docs dropdown menu open. In the Script editor, the built in HathoraSDK documentation is open.

(3/6) To make the Hathora SDK, we first tried using the OpenAPI Generator for GDScript, but: a. Support for GDScript is experimental b. The generated API expects the user to define on_success and on_error callables, which I felt was not Godot-like

Two code snippets (not actual working code, only for illustrative purposes)

On top a snippet showing the "await" syntax:
var res = await sdk.room_v2.create(Hathora.Regions.FRANKFURT).async()

if res.is_error():
#error handling

Below is a snippet showing the callback_success, callback_error syntax:

room_api.create_room(app_id, create_room_request, "", _create_callback_success, _create_callback_error)

Hathora Godot behind the scenes, a thread (1/6) For the plugin UI, we always rely on the theme properties defined in your Editor theme. The plugin should adapt to whatever theme you are using.

#godot tip   To draw pixelated Line2Ds, use a low viewport size and set the stretch mode to viewport   in the Project Settings. (Found in a comment by NeZvers on r/Godot)

Now, say that you want to have a “Create lobby” button in your game. You can just use the included SDK to request a new game server. You can also assign a short code to the server so that players can share it with their friends.

This lobby is authoritative. When a player enters, they use an RPC to tell the server “hey, my name is Carlo”. The server then spawns a lobby_player scene for the new player. The synchronizer then syncs the player nickname and ready state.

120

PumpkinTree @pumpkintree.games · 26/10/2024

Then we make our lobby scene. We can use a GridContainer with 2 columns, and a separate HBoxContainer to hold the set ready Button and the start game Button. Here we use a MultiplayerSpawner to automatically spawn and despawn the lobby_player scenes.

The lobby scene. The MultiplayerSpawner and PlayersContainer are highlighted. In the inspector, the MultiplayerSpawner path is set to "PlayersContainer". The lobby_scene is inside the Auto Spawn list.

PumpkinTree @pumpkintree.games · 26/10/2024

First, we make the lobby_player scene. We just need a Label for the nickname and a Checkbox to show whether the player is ready. We use a MultiplayerSynchronizer to keep everything in sync.

A screenshot of the lobby_player scene. The MultiplayerSynchronizer replication settings are highlighted. The synchronizer is replicating the nickname on spawn, player_ready state on spawn and on change, and the peer_id on spawn.

A thread about making a #multiplayer lobby in #Godot This was one of the first things I built in Godot. I was feeling overwhelmed, and making a lobby felt like a simple, straightforward project. It helped me to get the hang of Godot and its multiplayer API. Here is how the lobby will look like:

Lucky for us, there are quite a few services offering server orchestration with a GDScript SDK, so you don't even need to worry about handling HTTP requests. The end P.S. @smitner.studio do I get a spot in your starter pack?

170

PumpkinTree @pumpkintree.games · 23/10/2024

Here is how it works: your game places an HTTP call to the server orchestrator, saying "I'm a player, and I want to play online, spin up a dedicated server for me". The orchestrator spins up the dedicated server, and says "Here's your server at serverorchestrator. com:7753".

Want to set different player usernames/classes/options on each instance? You can set launch arguments for your instance-specific options! Here I used OS.get_cmdline_args() to get the instance-specific username and put it in the window title, in the player character, and in the debugger. The end
