Godot

This is my first high-effort project using godot, and besides the player animated sprite and movement system (based on a tutorial by HeartBeast!) all the pixel art, sfx, music, programming, etc. was done by me. This was made as part of a physics project about black holes and Einstein's theory of relativity and is partly based on the movie "Interstellar"

I am really proud of this and I think my pixel art has really improved! I really like how the dialogue boxes turned out and the music sounds pretty decent too. The decorations (grass, flowers, rocks) turned out really great as well!

Hey everyone! Today's tutorial is a little bit special because it covers an effect that has been part of my Godot Shader Pack for several weeks now. However, I believe it deserves a more detailed explanation for those who not only want to use this shader but also understand how it works. So, let’s get into it.

godot-rust v0.3 brings type-safe signals to the table.
If you register a signal:

#[signal]
fn damage_taken(amount: i32);

you can now freely connect it with other Rust functions:

fn ready(&mut self) {
    // Connect signal to the method:
    self.signals().damage_taken().connect(Self::on_damage_taken);
    
    // Or to an ad-hoc closure:
    self.signals().damage_taken().connect(|amount| {
        println!("Damage taken: {}", amount);
    });
    
    // Or to a method of another object:
    let stats: Gd<Stats>;
    self.signals().damage_taken().connect_other(&stats, |stats, amount| {
        stats.update_total_damage(amount);
    });
}

Emitting is also type-safe:

self.signals().damage_taken().emit(42);

Furthermore, you can now await signals, effectively introducing async tasks:

godot::task::spawn(async move {
    godot_print!("Wait for damage to occur...");
    
    let (dmg,) = player.signals().damage_taken().to_future().await;
    godot_print!("Player took {dmg} damage.");
});

There are many other improvements, see devlog and feel free to ask me anything :)

Huge thanks to all the contributors who helped ship these features!

Hi everybody. Let's continue our series on modeling 3D scenes using shaders and raymarching technology. In the previous fourth part, we managed to render the scene from any position and at any angle, which is very useful in itself, but we were still rendering each object in the same monotonous color. This time, we'll fix that detail and rewrite our code so that we can assign a different material to each object.

Hi everyone! I think every shader developer has at some point found themselves in a situation where they needed to determine certain values in the fragment function, especially when the shader wasn't behaving as expected. The problem is that the shader runs on the GPU, so we don't have anything like an output console available. So, how can we solve that? There are some options, and I’ll demonstrate one of them in this tutorial.

Hi everyone! We've already had a spiral tunnel, a circular tunnel, and a triangular tunnel. How about trying a square or rectangular one this time, which could resemble a classic dungeon-style game? It's pretty simple, so let's get to it.

Many people asked for it, so I created and released a new product: 80 shaders from my collection, ready to use in any project. Plus bonuses. 😎

I won't be able to make it, sadly, but maybe someone here is interested and hadn't heard of it yet.

Hi everybody. You might remember that the fire effect created using particles in Godot 4 was one of the first tutorials I published on this channel. Since then, more than a year has passed, the Godot Engine has evolved a lot, and many things have changed in the editor as well, so the original video is no longer very usable with the latest version of Godot (currently 4.4). That's why I decided to create a new, up-to-date, and improved tutorial, which we're about to dive into.

Junkyard Space Agency is an upcoming co-op space agency simulator that the developer said is like a "scrappier, multiplayer version" of Kerbal Space Program. It's being made with Godot Engine

Hey everybody! Let's go back to two dimensions, and take a look at how to create the effect you're currently seeing in the background of this video. It's basically something like a kaleidoscope, for which we need a source image and parameters like the number of segments, or the rotation speed. So let's go ahead and program this shader.

Hey everyone! This time, we'll be playing with fire. It's not the first time I've created a fire shader, but back then, I used a noise texture and a curve as a parameter, which significantly simplified the whole process. Now, we'll try it without such tools and generate a candle flame, which, as always, will have plenty of parameters for further adjustments. So let's get to it.

A few days ago, I saw a post on Reddit that inspired me to create a new local multiplayer game for me and my friends. After some late-night coding sessions, I’m excited to share Horse Race: a chaotic, fast-paced game perfect for game nights (or even solo play).

How it works:

Each horse is assigned to a specific button: the button you press to join the race. Your button is your key to controlling your horse throughout the race:

Attacking Opponents: to attack an opponent, simply press your button when you're in front of them.

Changing Direction: to adjust your horse's direction, press and release your button.

I’d love for you to try it out and share your thoughts. Any feedback or suggestions are more than welcome. Let me know what you’d like to see added or improved.

Have fun!
