Did a bunch of shader organizing, and finally got transparent textures casting shadows

I've spent many of the previous months brainstorming, and drawing out concepts for GODSEND as to not make the same mistake as I made with Ferro Bellator

As about Ferro Bellator, I don't really know what's happening with the project. The entire project was unfinished maps, and no gameplay other than walking around and picking up and dropping items.

It honestly wasn't a lack of passion, it was just I got too ahead of myself

GODSEND 01 - Custom Map Hotloading YouTube video by Jex

I'm working on a new game project, and I wanted at least a base for easy custom level development.

(No this project is not affiliated with the also named Godsend game about dating furry gods, funnily enough)

A little bit late on the screenshots, totally forgot to post them yesterday

#screenshotsaturday

I’d be down too. Been dying to check out the game

They’re not wrong, you guys are great

De Syv Dodssynder is still of my favorites. I’m thankful you posted about it or I’d never have found it.

Yeah, it was just me. Sounds great

Unfortunately I don’t have any thing to show for Christmas. Otherwise have a merry Christmas, have a great new year, and make sure to spend lots of time with those around you!

I was just thinking that I wanted to listen to something new. Thank you

Ferro Bellator 09 | City of Gold Music (WIP) + Level Redo YouTube video by Jex

I felt like The City of Gold's level design was being held back by it being on tall skyscrapers, so I redid the level and music to better fit my vision of the floor

Ferro Bellator - 08 | Halls of Pandemonium (Unfinished WIP Music) YouTube video by Jex

New music for the floor I posted about a bit ago. It's still unfinished but it's coming along. It's official name is "Halls of Pandemonium"

This palace has unexpected twists and turn, some defy even space and gravity

A Twist in the Myth - YouTube

Been absolutely loving A Twist in the Myth by Blind Guardian. It’s medieval mixed with power metal, and it absolutely shreds

I forgot to remove them, so you can see the items on the ground in the video. I'll make another post going more in depth about them at another time

With Godot 4.5 coming out today, I used the new stencil buffer feature to make the heat waves cut off between rooms.

To really see it, you need to look through the doorway, you can probably see the difference between rooms

Here's a before and after, although the before version was outdated, but it still had the same rooms to it

I really didn't like the look and direction of the previous version of the floor, so I re-made it from scratch with new textures and effects.

The music is still a WIP so, expect it to be extended further

Where do you find these movies? It would be amazing see what other films there are, that aren’t mainstream (at least where I am)

The music sounds insanely funky/groovy. I love it

A garden with the moon showing in the distance, and there is a bunch of fireflies surrounding a bush in the center

A desert with a brick pathway showing two pyramids with a bridge between them with the sun in the background

A screenshot of the pyramids up close

A different area in the garden with a forest on both sides

Been working on a few new areas. It's been mostly shader work, but these new floors (especially the garden) are looking spectacular.

What game is this? I would love to check it out

Been working on a ocean level, you do not have to swim.
You do have slightly lowered stats, but their effect is minimal (e.g. slightly lower jump, slightly lower movement speed, etc.)
