I've been testing out the engines on my new dropship! I have full control over engine intensity, and other factors too. I'm really happy with the way the dropship is turning out. Wings turn for hover flight, plus working landing gear. Looks bad-ass as well 😂 #godot #indiedev #gamedev

The 4.8 release cycle reaches an ever-important milestone with its very first beta snapshot: #GodotEngine 4.8 beta 1 arrives! 🎉 We've prepared a feature-packed blog post showcasing the main highlights for this new version: godotengine.org/article/dev-...

Dev snapshot: Godot 4.8 beta 1 – Godot Engine

Godot 4.8 enters beta!

Since everyone using Godot is showing off water effects at the moment, I thought I'd share my water shader too. Colour is determined by depth, allowing you to see rock formations below the surface. I add some noise based foam on the surface and ripples in the shallows. #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Optimised everything! My Godot terrain system is now running pretty hot. 250+ FPS for this. Trees, rocks and the new small plants and grass all lean on the same system. Terrain and water rendering have improved. Also added sky. See below for details... #gamedev #Godot #IndieDev

Grass and other small plants are starting to appear. They auto snap to the ground and fade into the distance so there is no popping into existence. The fade is fairly gradual, so you don't notice. Quite pleased with the effect so far. What do you think?

Been improving the way small plants, like grass etc are placed on the terrain. It now auto positions itself onto the terrain surface. This is going to make placing big clumps of small plants so much easier, as the shader will just sorts it all out. #gamedev #Godot #IndieDev

Here a little insight into the geo-morphing clipmap I use as part of the terrain system. Instead of the normal stitching as the clipmap drops to lower resolutions, this system supports a smooth and continuous transitions between resolutions. #gamedev #Godot #IndieDev

Been working hard on my terrain and plant system. It supports terrains of around 8-10km along each side, multiple biomes and fully procedurally generated on the fly. The ship is just a placeholder for now. Looking forward to some of the Godot 4.8 features too. #gamedev #Godot #IndieDev

my typography for game UIs talk is up. thanks again to @godotcon.bsky.social for having me, and my little presentation on the big screen^^ youtu.be/1OfHPADyB6s

That UI looks dope, wish it wasn’t so hard to read tho – Henni – GodotCon 2026

I've got fed up with trees looking kind of broken, so I'ev written a script to generate random clumps of leaves. Maybe the rest of the tree will follow along soon. #gamedev #Godot #IndieDev

This is going to great. I’ve always looked at the asset stores of other engine with envious eyes. No longer. I shall ensure all my plugins are added there and might even release some models.

We've been working on replacing the Asset Library with something built for the present and future. Here's what's coming. #godotengine godotengine.org/article/intr...

I've been really busy for the last few weeks, but finally making some solid progress on my Godot terrain system. The foliage system has come a long way since my last update. It supports arbitary numbers of trees per biome, with variations on every instance. #gamedev #Godot #IndieDev

Been busy working on the terrain system and plants system for the last few weeks. Landscape is starting to look really nice. I'll show the plants and trees in more detail soon, but I now have a system that automatically places millions of trees in real time. #gamedev #Godot #IndieDev

Recently I released an addon for Godot that merges all selected MeshInstance3D's into a single mesh instance. It's ideal for creating meshes that can be easily used in a MultiMeshInstance3D for example. Search in AssetLib: "mesh merge" or github.com/rikh42/meshm... #godot #indiedev #gamedev

This is my solution that fades in objects without using alpha blending. Instead it discards some fragments depending on how far away that fragment is. But why... 🧵👇 #godot #godotengine #vfx #gamedev #indiedev

I've been working on the plants and vegetation system for the last couple of weeks. Here's a quick look at the biome system finally working. Each mesh colour represents a region in a different biome for testing. (sorry for the janky flying) #godot #indiedev #gamedev

A quick update on my Godot terrain system. Here's a short clip of the collisions working... Building a collision mesh for the entire 32km x 32km world isn't practical. Therefore, any entity in the game can request that a collision mesh be built around it. #gamedev #Godot #IndieDev

Work in progress on my new terrain system for a game I'm developing with Godot. Supports a 32km x 32km world with 1m precision, requiring only a few MB of storage. 4 different biomes, each with multiple materials, all computed on the GPU. #godot #godotengine
