The extra space for array properties in the editor is a very close second. 🙏

The Godot contributors are knocking these QoL features out of the park recently.

A screenshot of the changeover of Godot 4.7 snapshot 4. The text says "GUI: Add custom maximum size propery to Control".

Praise be! And all hail max width properties!

Seriously, supporting Steam Deck up through ultrawides in UI heavy games was rough previously. This feature will save a lot of time. Looking forward to 4.7!

#Godot

Yep

This was a fun one! Thank you for running this jam. One can never have too many fishing-adjacent games 😅

Tired: 🪱
Wired: 🍔

Shout out to @kenney.nl for the delicious burger model!

My week has been more busy than I'd hoped, but I'm making some decent progress on this jam game. I got some jiggly burger physics implemented on "fishing" bait.

Just spent more time than I'd like to admit debugging why my Godot game would not close properly. Turns out there's currently a bug with accessing lambdas in static methods or autoloads. The one time I break my "no lambdas" rule... 🙃

A side-by-side comparison of two screenshots from a placeholder game level. The left screenshot is labeled "WEB" and the right one is labeled "DESKTOP". The lighting and general color is very similar between the two, with the left shot having slightly more saturated colors. Both screenshots depict green and yellow saturated landmasses with a collection of three tall skinny trees in center frame and part of a small floating platform to frame right. A player hotbar is displayed with 9 item slots. Only the 3rd slot contains an item icon.

Ok, got it solved. Sky mode in DirectionalLight3D set to anything other than "Light Only" seems to break lighting. Mipmaps of any sort break textures (at least when using nearest sampling).

It's built in the compatibility renderer so I guess I'm struggling with why the web build looks so much worse than the in-editor and desktop builds (which look the same). As far as I can tell I'm not using any web-incompatible world environment or camera settings features. 🙃

Tried a web build of a little side project in Godot 4 and... yikes. I know web builds get more eyes/plays on itch, but this would probably drive more people away than it would attract.

Class names in the remote scene inspector is 👨‍🍳👌

Massive QoL for larger projects.

just like me fr

It really is interesting! It's always good to talk to folks from all over for exactly this reason. And that comic was excellent 😆

Sadly, yes. I think its rooted in our nation's history in a way, and that has sort of snowballed itself into being part of our culture (for better or worse)

There are definitely times where I catch myself thinking, "It's fine. It'll all be fine" before realizing that actually no it isnt and wont 😅

A picture of a hardback book on a washed blue background. The title is Next Level: Making Games That Make Themselves, by Mike Cook.

I've written a book! Next Level: Making Games That Make Themselves is the story of procedural generation - the tech behind games like Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress. It's about how it works, the games that use it, and the art and magic behind it.

Out May 7th, in bookshops: linktr.ee/next_level 🎲🔮

Awesome and congratulations! Pre-ordered my copy!

When it comes down to it, Friday is a banger that deserves to be on all playlists, regardless of theme.

I don't know what I expected, but this is amazing.

This is solid! It turned out excellent.

I don't want to "jump on a quick call", ever.

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

Screenshot of the tick system demo in action. There are 11 panels of various widths laid out in a row-aligned flow grid. Each panel contains an example use-case of the tick system, ranging from a simple numerical counter to transferring items between inventories each tick.

Updated this thing to Godot 4.6

These are some excellent updates!

He stayed out there for all of 3 minutes.

Ha this is solid! I'm digging that bass growl that peaks through every now and then.
