Why are shaders in it own section. Why not just put it in the scripts tab it's so annoying to go use that silly little shader section that feels so clunky #godot #indiedev #gamedev

What is one skill you need to work on but never do?

Mine is shaders. 🎨

I conducted a brief playtest to identify bugs in the game.

I built a little house (I need more blocks). Here are some screenshots 📷

Update: MVP of the runtime item-downloader is done. 🥳

Remaining tasks:
1. Store voxel meshes inside items and load them into an array at runtime for building and breaking blocks.
2. Improve speed, as it currently takes up to a minute to load the game.

Got to love it when you're just about to finish a feature, then realise a much better way to do it that would make it easier, but then you have to decide whether to scrap what you've spent a week doing or change it the new and easy way.

More work on the backend: uploading items and resources from a small website, runtime downloading to memory and disk for files (.tres, .res, .mp3). Next, add it to the main game, expecting bugs.

Accidentally broke my renderer yesterday, but it ended up producing some really cool glitch art. #gamedev #indiedev

Sadly, I have bad news: my computer can't handle two debug windows of world hoppers, so I can't test multiplayer locally. I'll need someone to test it with each time, or get someone to do it. The multiplayer is set up, but I want to improve it.

Yeah, very nice and easy to set up

Also, I would like to state I don't normally use AI for coding, only use it to clean my code or for this.

SnapGamesStudios @snapgamesstudio.bsky.social · 14d

been coding the Python Server that will hold the items between worlds.

And man, it's scary how good ChatGPT is at Python. I copied and pasted and got 0 errors.

Because Godot has a bug in its thumbnail caching code, all of my penguin NPCs now show a thumbnail of Flesh Penguin from my last shitpost. 🤣🤣🤣

The factory-building game prototype I've been showing in the past days is now up on Itch.

It's a game about building a factory in a world of floating islands.

Please go try it and tell me what you think! 🙏

Working on the backend some more, I created a little graph to better understand it.

GDScript code formatting in an instant coming soon in a Godot editor near you.

Works automatically on save too.

It's been a while since my last update on World Hoppers. I've been working on reworking AI pathfinding, adding a setting to disable leaf transparency, creating a breaking overlay texture for better feedback, and developing a feature to remove backend data.
