Thanks for your generous offer and so glad to hear you like the game so far :) Not looking for any help with the marketing right now though, sorry!

Thankss, not really any plans for the next vid yet as I’m focusing all my effort on developing the game for now. But I’d like to make a video focusing on procedural generation at some point

Not really, but hopefully next year sometime

finally fixed this pesky bug where sometimes chunks just wouldn’t load. All I had to do was remove a single line of code lol

Will miss exploring the void tho

Wow, very nice :D

jess::codes @jesscodes.bsky.social · Apr 25

Thank you! I do the assets, it takes ages :’)

If you want to credit me as jess::codes that would be lovely, but it’s not required!

And yes, you may use the shader in your game that you sell

Ok so when I updated it to Godot 4.4 it worked fine - but the comments were broken so I fixed those up. I also made some performance improvements and cleaned up the layout in general so feel free to take a look!

Ah, it was made in Godot 4.2 so I wouldn’t be surprised if updating broke some things! I’ll take a look and see if I can publish a fix for Godot 4.4 :)

Fun fact I modelled the house in Tiny Glade to use as reference, it was very helpful for trying different roof shapes! Might start doing this for my other buildings too

Yes and no, the wall tiles are generated using pre-determined layouts that I made but their locations in the world are procedural

Thanks! Yeah it’s all manually drawn - to help save time I only have the 3/4 view for now. Another thing is the bangs and long hair are seperate sprites, allowing for more hair combinations with less effort

Treading through the jungle 🌱

Also, really excited for 2D shader instance uniforms coming to #godot 4.4! Already used them for a subtle flash effect when the foliage gets hit
