hello bluesky 🦋 meet our game, glowkeeper!

a #puzzlegame — let fireflies guide you through solving elemental puzzles in a vast, interconnected world ✨

Glowkeeper's cover art, with the player holding a glowing firefly in their hands. Words behind them read "Glowkeeper". A room titled 'Collapsed Alley' near the beginning of the game. Earth blocks lay on the player's path. The player is submerged next to a lamp in a large body of glittering water. Room is titled "The Great Lake". The player stands on an earth block in the middle of the level "Frigid Well", above some spiky ice.

here's a quick tutorial for the shader transition !! shader away ✨
(code for copy-pasting in replies ↓↓↓)

#godot #godottips #indiegamedev #tutorial #shaders
Tutorial for shader animation transition in Godot Engine. Includes an image of code, which is also available in the replies of this post. Paint your own transition image — lighter means that it will disappear first. Sets opacity of the image using a step function. Change the progress percentage variable to animate the transition.

Made a Godot utility that lets you move nodes in unision without parenting! Great for aligning things using different pivots, or moving subgroups of collision shapes. You can get it here 👇 on GitHub (read README, I won't be giving support)

a screen from in-development visual novel, the flower ward. in the background, a pile of cards are on a table, and arcadia's hand reaches in from the left on top of the cards. character mizzen says "arcadia! say it like you mean it!" with the words "mean it" bouncing up and down.
