I'm not a VR fan. But I cannot wait to play this. Looks super well made and fun.

Man. I was looking for something like this.. Just a simple palette creator. Seriously

I know... I hate posting this posts here... but if you are still on twitter, you are helping Musk. You are bringing people into his radicalization funnel.

Every young person who watches your videos, plays your games, who wants to be like you - is joining because of you.

inventory and other areas I also have Model events triggering changes to the View layer.
So occasionally having Model talking to View is something I'm also doing. But always with events and typically when the Model change needs to be broadcasted to many listeners and not only in the MVC scope

Global Data can be Godot Globals (Autoloads) and I consider them also Model.
Global Controllers can also be Godot Globals (Autoloads) and I consider then Controllers.

I'm also experimenting with MVC in C#:
->Model: Pure C# class or Resource for data (no Scene node).
->Controller: Root scene script - Orchestrate Model and View.
->View: Child Node and Script handling meshes, anims, UI.

Prototype diagrams attached!

You can also use call deferred on child / parents code that can break due to loading order. Usually it's all it takes for me

Would love to test it mate

For my PlanarReflector, I've been playing with Compositors to hide underwater/intersection reflections. This was an annoying limitation of PlanarReflections. Still bugs to fix, but should be in the Asset Store shortly. Links below (if want to try it) #godot #GodotEngine #GodotTips #Gamedev #Indiedev

HEY THERE NICE TO MEET YOU

Garoa is a Brazilian indie game studio, est. 2018. We migrated from X and we’re rebuilding our reach, help us out with a follow?

Tarot, astronauts, ska, rhythm games, and more: come check out (or rediscover) our award-winning titles 🧵👇 (with videos!)

Screenshot from Cartomante: Fortune Teller. A character with flowers and leaves for hair sits at a table, hands raised, with five face-down tarot cards laid out in front. The room has plants, a window showing a night sky, a smoking incense stick, and a bookshelf with books and objects.

Screenshot from Astro Pig. A small piglet astronaut in a spacesuit stands on a vine-covered platform beneath a large round, broken robot with a glowing blue face and cracked glass windows. The robot, called Big Robot, speaks through dialogue text: ‘That said, I can repair your device, but, as you can see, I'm not one for hopping around. If you could fetch me some scrap, I could make it new again!’ The night sky is filled with stars and a distant artificial satellite floats in the background.

Collage of four colorful screenshots from the rhythm game RhythMania, each showing a different minigame. Top left: a cartoon worker in a hard hat presses a button while a yellow bus full of identical smiling passengers gets one sad passenger sucked out by a large vacuum tube. Top right: a girl with purple hair tied back leaps in a bedroom, swatting a giant bug with a flyswatter as it crashes against the window. Bottom left: on a soccer field, a character kicks a ball hard into another player’s face, causing a big white impact burst while onlookers react in surprise. Bottom right: four colorful humanoid figures (yellow, pink, purple, blue) react in exaggerated poses as a box containing a bald man’s head is flung through the air with a ‘BUM!’ sound effect.

Screenshot from Cat Leather Jackets, a rhythm game featuring a band performance. On the left, a red-haired character in a striped shirt plays the trumpet, while in the background a drummer is mid-performance, and on the right a character with long purple hair plays electric guitar, smiling with glowing eyes. The game interface shows Guitar Hero–style note highways with glowing blocks, a score combo of ‘636,’ and praise text reading ‘Unstoppable!’ and ‘Insane!’ The scene is energetic and colorful, framed by thick black chains above.

To be honest, I know what you are talking about. But I think they are really nice, some of them are more like dinosaurs. However, the colours still make them feel a bit alien. Overall, they do give the sense of something "out of this world". I like them a lot.

I found Godot's out-of-the-box coroutines somewhat lacking, so I made an addon that makes more sense to me. Has cool features like "until", "seconds", "all", canceling, manual ticking, etc. You can grab it here if you're interested:

I second that. This was a very handy website when I needed something on Gdscript as I'm most familiar with C#

This just might be the single most important web page of #gdscript on the Internet. Stay safe out there. #kidscancode #madewithgodot #godottips #screenshotsaturday 🔗👇😳😅📐

Even back then the art looked really nice. BTW.. How do you record your pixel art game? The quality is great

Surely the definition of indie is too broad... 1 million dollar is not indie imo. There are other tiers between indie and double A that suit best small studios or small companies.
