Working on another Road Generator demo scene - physics vehicle lane following (aka NPC car)! It's hard to find a balance of "make demo look good" but also having the code simple enough to be *just* a demo, I'm used to adding all sorts of extra mechanisms just to make driving look... okish

Unfortunately, @itch.io is overrun by slop. The assets are slop, the tools are 'vibecoded'. It's an endless stream of spam which takes away visibility from great human-made creations. It's honestly just a sad state, anything you can do - itch?

If there is one thing I miss from the past it is when search engines searched for the words you typed

OMG people are going to LOVE the new offset transform property in Godot 4.7! It allows you to easily animate elements inside containers, even with the AnimationPlayer 😍

And just like that, we've released our first public demo for Sparrow Warfare. From here on out we're building in the open. And you can be a part of that!

Portal's out! The base is free of course (including all the shaders, controller script and animations), but if you want to support me I made some presets too! Link: binbun3d.itch.io/godot-portal... #godot #godotengine #shader #vfx #gamedev #indiedev

Stunted Gravity has a Shockline Trial level in a 3D Mobius strip! The track looks 4-sided, but it's actually one continuous side! Each lap runs on the next "side". The goal: complete as many laps as possible while dodging the trail. By lap 5 the track is crowded and the challenge really picks up!

GodSVG alpha 14 is out! This prerelease lays down the groundwork for keyboard focus navigation and adds a few quality of life features and bugfixes. 🍇 More details: www.godsvg.com/article/1-0-... #GodotEngine #OpenSource

Wait, Godot can do that?! #godotengine #gamedev

I'm so pleased with this shot in particular, because like... who the hell uses a fishing rod like that?? But it feels SO good. I did this by erasing a line of code that forces you to swing the rod "properly". I'm not putting it back! 😌 #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev #VR

I hate universal "distance grab" mechanics in VR. IMO, a strong need/desire to minimize player movement betrays a fundamentally uninteresting world. That being said... a thing that lets you swhoop other things from afar is another story! 🐧🎣💨 #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev #VR
