Reworked #Dagmar to be 8x8 art!

Also moving from my traditional approach of programmatic tilemaps to the built-in TileMapLayer nodes, took a few weeks to make both those transitions at the same time.

Animated flames for the background of the main menu in #Dagmar, created it with a shader!

I play gentle fire crackling sounds alongside it to build a bit more immersion.

Been working on a new main menu for #Dagmar, I've had a good time figuring out the buttons and decided to go with a classic approach.

Alternate colors for the first letter and the rest of the button.

Most hype feature for #Godot 4.5 is line break support in BBCode for the delight RichTextLabels

Add [br] to bbcode parsing for `rich_text_label` by yahkr · Pull Request #105524 · godotengine/godot

fixes BBCode [br]no work but [p] #105520 else if (tag == "br") { add_text("\r"); pos = brk_end + 1; }

I messed around with that for a bit but had some issues with the collisions, great suggestion though! If I fix the collision issue I'd definitely go that route.

Ended up rotating the joint around a bit and it works great now.

Dumpster lids can now be opened by hand!

Still learning about HingeJoint3D in #Godot, doors aren't quite rotating the right way.

Getting the kitchen scene setup for #ChefWobbles, going to add some doors, the front of the store, and then begin working on the exterior and surroundings of the building.

#ChefWobbles, the chef has seen the void for too long

BodenGameDev @bodengamedev.bsky.social · Aug 1

Alright, we got multiplayer! It's an absolute blast to toss each other around, almost forgot this game is about cooking.

What a throwback! I remember playing that game years back, had a blast with it.

BodenGameDev @bodengamedev.bsky.social · Jul 29

Getting the multiplayer setup, it's incredibly difficult lmao. Example of a lobby in the image below:

Sick prototype by @soupbyte.bsky.social, creating a physics-based cooking game!

#gamedev #indiedev #godot

Uhhh, it could be better. I think it might have something to do with how the collision bodies are created.

Oh my goodness! Massive grin on my face seeing those patties plop down on each other.

Love to see someone else creating a cooking game and at similar a progress point in development.

What's the inspiration for it? I was inspired by Overcooked/Human Fall Flat to create a mixture of the genres

BodenGameDev @bodengamedev.bsky.social · Jul 29

Ha! I had problems the other day when I was using dynamic trimesh on my gltf imports, but switching to the box shape type solved my interaction issues.

Gotta love boxes.

Trickiest part has been the collisions and physics interactions.

Been loving Jolt Physics for interactions, as it solved my bouncing issues, but it makes the arms of my character a bit jank.

BodenGameDev @bodengamedev.bsky.social · Jul 28

Lets see! Any physics?
